This display has a game mode,Īnd with it off input lag was about 40ms at the top of the screen.Īll the other display quality settings as well, but did not see any further HDMI and measures how long it takes to display it. At least it has a yPbPr input - those are getting hard to find. The display has 4 HDMI inputs, and 1 yPbPr input. Off the ones actually want? Seriously, I feel like you have to try to be this How did they put so many buttons on it but left Where game mode gets toggled on significantly after you change the menu option. But at least it works, and there are no dumb bugs like in the TCL TVs

Are all android TVs this bad? Maybe, this is myįirst. In true Sony style (heh) this has miserable UI. There's also a bit of reflections but not too bad. It's worth working hard to get this at eye height. More noticeable isįairly strong backlight bleed off-axis, particularly if viewed even a littleįrom above.

The TV has decently wide viewing angles, with no color inversions off-axis.īut it does suffer from contrast reduction at extreme angles. Photo also demonstrates off-axis backlight blead in lower right corner. Pixels, and have an OSSC, this is the mode for you.Ĥ80i/p ringing/halos I had to overexpose the image to make them obvious.

This is the set's true resolution and is pixel perfect (well, it's Before you get too worried about this, keep in mind that manyġ080p sets have mandatory overscan that results in just as much blur or If you were thinking of using this as a computer monitor, it might notīe ideal.

Nearly as bad as the injustice most 1080p sets do 480p or even 720p. Very minor blur, however, and you have to sit close to see it. This is a 4k TV, so it can't do 1080p perfectly. Some of the blurriness is exclusive to using the yprpb input - an OSSC does better when outputting 480i passthru over HDMI and even better in 960p 4x mode (see below).Īlso a bit soft, but none of the ringing/halos. Unfortunately I think this is taking it too far. Some softening is good if playing games from the early 3dĮra (ps2, etc), where you want some blur to cut down on the jagged edges Speaking of soft, it's definitely got a blurry look - less detail is resolvable than on a CRT, and nothing sharp and hard like anĮmulator.

You can turn this down and get rid of the ringing, but things look pretty soft if you do. Sharpening being applied, which causes a bit of ringing (the non-technical Fantastic! Why do so many sets get this wrong? resolution There is a setting which has zero cropping, and zero aliasing, and preserves theĪspect ratio properly too. I adjusted the set to minimize cropping and aliasing, with great success. Resolution many TVs have aliasing and cropping. Tests are relevant for modern gaming as well, because even at their native Some number of pixels cropped from the bottom or top edges. Shows most or all of the pixels it is sent. Ideally, all pixels shouldĪppear equally sharp and bright (no aliasing), and angled lines should appear Good upscaling is critical for retro gaming. It has a definite appeal for retro gamingīut is only upper middle of the pack otherwise. This 4k (3840p) TV from 2017 has good upscaling and very fastĭeinterlacing, though it's overall input lag is good, not outstanding.
