Interesting. My kd49xd8099 (approx 2 years old) doesn't seem to have any performance issue (ARM Cortex-A53 4 core, 2gb ram).
My biggest gripe is the lack of a functioning EPG on the satellite receiver.

I fondly remember my old Pentium 120mhz (not even MMX!) 16mb of memory, thing was a beast!

Sunglasses, Headphones, 2 watches.
Not worn a watch for about 7-8 years and fancied something to test the water before purchasing a slightly pricier Steinhart. I liked these both but couldn't decide between them. Being half price/clearance it was effectively BOGOF so a no brainer
Edit: The impulse is stong today.

I’m checking out a Tag Heuer chopped carbon finish Carrera Tourbillon this weekend.
It’s why I returned the Sony, decided to try it after the rave reviews of IQ, but after using LG for a year, I couldn’t downgrade the user interface so drastically.
Working with nvidia to integrate the shield tv hardware wouldn’t be expensive, but it would work really well.
I didn’t think the IQ was all that great either and found the Sony really dark.
My friend got the Philips OLED... that’s much better to use, but the remote controls are HORRIBLE.
I like the IQ of the Philips and ambilight. It is definitely better than the LG, but the remotes mean I don’t want one, plus they don’t do a 77”.
I have 77 C8 arriving today

No idea what that is but it sounds like a mouthful to say and expensive, which is good. *Googles*... *drools*. Very nice.
Put the picture up (Black one) that I've been hoovering around every week for the last 6 months...

Not buying for the brand, buying because I really like the watch
Well... like the pictures, got to see it in the flesh to make decision.
Don’t care for brands... only specific item I like.
Although I’m quite fond of IWC.

A somewhat disappointing trend I am noticing in this thread is a someone posting something they have purchased and then the criticism others are giving is getting beyond a joke imo.
First someone comments on his garden, now the lights. What is it to do with any of you?
He was talking about the TV, AV Unit and Sofa. Not the lights or garden
it's pretty obvious from his pictures one of which is 90% his kitchen that he was showing off his new house
another is 50% his dining area/table
his lights are also quite frankly ridiculous. why does he have both? the garden i'm okay with as he likely knew he was being ripped off and obviously if cashflow is an issue he can do that later. best to minimise expenses when buying a home.
the lights though i'm glad someone brought it up. it's monstrous to have both.

i bought a sony tv a few weeks back as it was IMO the best TV for my usage.
i don't care about the smart aspect as it will be used for gaming only (PS4 PRO) however i have used it a few times and it seems fine to me.
if it does become an issue it can be solved by buying a <£50 fire stick.
so i'm amazed at the amount of people who would buy an inferior tv with decent smart software than a superior tv with crap smart software. when the issue is solved for less than 50 quid.
also the ps4 pro has youtube, netflix, sky go, etc already built in too. so i don't even need to spend £50 on a fire stick.
had zero issues so far with how "slow" it is. not as fast as my LG but it gets the job done.
Surely it would not of been hard for sony to of released 2 versions of it with mainly just different screen case frames like they did with the A1 / AF8 one with the lean back and another that was slim & straight up

This!

It's really just an overpriced Swatch. It'll depreciate like a stone and for the money you can get something with a much better movement and proper heritage.
My Tag packed up (its virtually brand new) I think the lack of actual wearing was the cause. I will get it fixed one day - For anyone purchasing just make sure you buy a winder or wear often!
A television user interface should be quick, it's a device used for content consumption/leisure - there shouldn't be any slowdown when navigating the general UI. You say you're amazed, I'm amazed people are happy to not only put up with poor performance from top end products but to then spend extra as a work around - the mind boggles. Fair enough, pay for for a TV that gives you additional features such as a better panel, sound and/or codec support but ALL televisions should have a fast and responsive UI. I'm not sure what you're referring to as 'inferior', if it's LG OLED, all the research I did before going with LG was that there's not much in it in terms of picture quality between LG & Sony. Sony + Shield TV was on my list of considerations, despite the fact my experience wit Sony ATV1 was so bad but I went with LG as I came to the conclusion I wouldn't miss Android TV if I didn't have it at all (so no need for the Shield TV, especially as I have a PS4 Pro already).
As I said, it's nice to read that Sony have ironed out the slowness with the AF9 and I hope tatts enjoys his purchase (I'm sure he will), but it doesn't change the fact the previous generations of Sony Android TVs are simply slow in comparison to other televisions.
To crinkly it is a Swatch and as disposable I suspect. When mine stopped about 9 centuries ago I left it in a draw where it sat until Jesus was born.....at which I put it in its big box next to my NES where it is today.....I think.
I know. Can you phone them up and tell them please.
He's looking at the Tourbillon model - those are worth checking out
