Is there a way to rectify or make the clouding less noticable on the screen? This is how mine looks:

What's the technical term for that anyway, backlight bleeding???

The light is coming from the corners indicating the panel is tight there or the tv frame is a little twisted backwards.

Try applying a little forward pressure on the left and right of the tv to straighten it out.

Be careful and do it with the screen on in the dark to ensure you are getting the desired results.

Hey guys, thinking of joining the party and picking up this model:

http://www.johnlewis.com/sony-bravi...eeview-hd-2x-3d-glasses/p1491213?colour=Black

Will this kit:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/VESA-Adapte..._sim_ce_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=08XWF3VVFT4KY947BGET

allow it to fit to this stand securely?

Thanks in advance.

Hi yes i have this kit and it will work fine with that stand.

I have mine mounted on a similar tv stand no problems.
 
Odd question, but do the newer Sony TVs still show the Sony logo and play a little sound when they turn on? I've got an older 2010 (I think) model and it does this, just wondered if they still do or if they're instant-on now.

Come now it's a Sony, needs to warm up still :) logo shows not heard a sound, takes a little while before menu can activate
 
Yep, they're quite slow to start. Annoying if our son has changed the channel to analogue and you want to pop it back on the HDMI input from the amp. First world problems yo.
 
Had a f/w update although nothing is showing on the Sony Support Centre on what it did. The menus are still slow, was hoping that it would have resolved this.

Never saw this but I got it the best I could by doing this:

I installed this badboy (the 55") on Sunday. It's glorious.

We had an aerial installed yesterday, it looks as though it's going through a booster. However the picture quality isn't great and it glitches every now and again.

I'm not too worried about the quality as it's just a standard SD signal but the gitches concern me a little.

Is there a way of testing if it's the signal of the digital converter inside the TV?

It's not completely unbearable, I get either a split second picture or sound glitch every few minutes but if the TV is at fault I'd like to get it sorted.

I did buy one off of ebay but as you say, it actually came with the adapter kit anyway! :)

I will scour through the settings to see if I can find the signal level. Has anyone else experienced this?
 
I bought a 55" W8 from john lewis for £650 around 1/2weeks ago,

Looks lush.

Just had a software update today.
 
Don't even know what that is.

But a quick look at the app it seems to be a way to play older games on the TV by just plugging in a controller?

aka cloud gaming?
