Anyone got the Sony Bravia KD55XD8005?

[Russinating]

I'm having an absolute mare with a new TV upgrade! Brands and model numbers are blurring int one etc...

I bought the Sony Bravia KD55XD8005 last night on Amazon's flash sale for £769. It was already got on HUKD for £999 with a soundbar so I think the pricepoint is good, especially for a 10-bit panel.

However I read somewhere that only 2 of its 4 HDMI ports support 4K. Other sites though, like Richer Sounds, say all 4 are HDCP 2.2 (http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/sony/bravia-kd55xd8005/sony-kd55xd8005bu).

A recent reviewer also says it doesn't yet work with his PS4 Pro in terms of both 4K and HDR.

Is there a way of checking features like this and is an update for the PS4 Pro going to be likely?

Any help very, very appreciated!

Doh, couldn't find it on their site because I was looking for KD not XD on the main page . Looking at the stats it seems it was this that was being referred to:

4096 X 2160/24P (HDMI 2/3)

Where did you find the 8bit+FRC bit deuse? My main question is is it better than the LG 55UH668V for £599, especially if it's not a 10-bit panel.

Interesting. The John Lewis site specifically says it's 10-bit: http://www.johnlewis.com/sony-bravi...n/p2991371?navAction=jump&_requestid=11012713

Could yours be different somehow? Or are they outright lying?

Well it arrived! Very happy so far.

 

[Russinating]

Yep

Yeah it's great so far. 4K and HDR looks great. Already trialled it on a variety of inputs including BF1 on PS4 Pro, Narcos through Netflix and Sky Sports 4K UHD through BT.

Quality is great. Coming from a good Plasma I'm sad to see "true" blacks go, but it's still pretty good. I like the Android OS so I'm not sure where all the complaints are from unless it's purely 2015 models.

The bezel is so thin it takes up about the same space on the wall as my old 51" Plasma and it's thinner than my finger which is great as I've got it wall mounted.

I've got this set and a PS4 Pro, works fine.

Lovely. Yeah I've got Kodi installed on it which has made my HTPC completely redundant (in a good way).

 

[Russinating]

I've found Kodi to be absolutely fine. Certainly less faff than using an HTPC. Not sure what the actual real-world implications of the above are but I get surround sound...

8055 or 8005? . The 8005 is incredible, especially BT Sport 4K. The Football mode does actually improve things as well rather than just being a gimmick.
