Welcome Back 32inch Sony -- Hurray!!!
on January 2, 2023
Posted by: 1701jim
Verified Purchase:Yes
The quality, the outstanding features, the shear name Sony brings won me over... Though not fully 4K, instead 720p, one still receives all other features: HDR, 720/24P, etc.. So, I'm not missing anything vital, especially with the size of a 32 inch.

3 out of 5Disappointing 4K-UHD Transfer
By Cobra
I've been a fan of Star Trek since 1966. I have all the films and even a collection of the original series, as well as Star Trek: TNG. I've had many of the above on VHS, Laserdisc and regular DVD. I was really hoping this recent transfer up to 4K-UHD with Dolby Vision would be spectacular. It certainly should have been.
Sadly, I have to say it wasn't even close. I found the film to be DARK AND GRAINY. I currently own over a thousand discs, with well over 400 being Blu-ray and so far I have 97 4K-UHD films. So I've gotten pretty good at knowing what a good transfer should look like . . . and this ain't it!
I just read a professional review where even it acknowledged this transfer is at best rated at B+. I think that was overly-generous, as this should at best be a C-. My equipment is a fully ISF Calibrated LG-G2 77" OLED, Panasonic 9000 player and an upper-end Denon receiver. Paramount should be ashamed of this transfer.

This lean, mean 4K machine is primed for your leap into Quantum Dot technology~and a bold new world of color and contrast. Take your entire viewing experience to the next level with the elevated audio and astounding picture quality of Samsung QLED. Not only will you see your TV shows and movies instantly transformed into 4K, but you~ll also take in a billion shades of unwavering color. Beyond amazing visuals, you~ll be drawn in by 3D surround sound that moves with the action.

4 out of 5Great TV. But!!!!
By Xsistor
[Employee of bestbuy] I purchased 2 of these mainly because i read it had hdmi 2.1 and 4 hdmi ports. The specs on the website are innacurate the TV has 3 Hdmi inputs and does not support the hdmi 2.1 standard. The tv is surprisingly good being 60hz its very bright easy to setup. Volume was average. The interface works we use Apple TVs so we wont be using Tizen overall good product.

The open back HD 599 delivers impressively natural spatial performance. Topping Sennheiser's 500 series, the full sized premium headphone offers near-audiophile levels of sound quality and exceptional wearing comfort thanks to the large ear cups and soft replaceable ear pads.

Always check the Impedance & System plugged into!
October 9, 2023
HD 599 has a high Impedance requirement to be plugged into -- such as an integrated stereo system, or receiver that can handle the high ohms impedance -- found in higher end systems. The HD 569 is 32 Ohms, and it should sound better -- even if plugged into a lower end system.

1 out of 5Not fit for purpose
By xxmartinxx
Sony has broken these with a bad firmware and are unwilling to fix it or even admit there's a problem. When watching dual layer discs, this thing locks up hard about 3/4th the way through the movie. There are some settings you can try to adjust, but they don't fix the issue. I've reached out to Sony but they pretended like there aren't tons of people complaining about this issue. Buy something else.

Sony Please Update Software -- Urgently Needed!
February 11, 2025
Hi Sony,
The X700 player has not received a firmware update since 5/2022. We are greatly in need of an update for stability of system/ and to resolve playback issues of newer disc. Please understand, many of your loyal customers have turned off both the outdated 4k upscaler and the cinema mode (choosing video only). Nevertheless, I have an outstanding HDMI cable, an outstanding surge protector (with MOV), and chosen Direct when watching a movie -- connected to a Sony 2022 model (X1 Pro Processor) -- no DV.
Again, please request the department, in charge of updating X700 software to be propitious -- urgently needed -- software update for stability of system/ resolve playability of newer discs!
Most Kindly,
