Hi,

So considering the above tv wondered if any one here had it and can comment from a personnel experience?

Id have a ps4 pro hooked up to it and I do use Netflix daily and YouTube.

I have a 4k set atm no hdr but I hate it, very slow at everything, apps always crash.

It was a budget purchase but I fully regret it it's a Samsung

XE90 is a good set at the right price, how much is the one you're looking at?

Cheapist one I have seen is 1249 with 5 year warranty, I'm tempted to wait till January sales but not sure how new the model is so knowing my luck will dissappear

Thanks to above too for view plus link to YouTube videos, last tv I really enjoyed was years ago but bloody dog knocked it off desk (when 1080p just became the norm)

For someone who knows about tech he sure wears a stupid shirt to be filmed in.

Android apps will crash a lot on these tvs though. I have the year before and i get random reboots, stutters and app messages every single day. I'm on my second screen too. Additionally I have a dead pixel. This is how the tv is meant to be according to sony. I know the tv you want is the brightest tv on the market but consider a less bright tv because everything else it does sucks.

That's the problem I have with my Samsung atm I'm sick to death of apps constantly crashing and tv randomly needing rebooting, it's not android based though
