I've been considering a 4k TV to replace/upgrade my existing 10 year old 40" Sony Bravia 720 LCD TV. After researching several units I chose this one and I'm pleased with it so far. Picture quality is excellent, setup was relatively painless and viewing the things I like is surely an improvement over what I had. Is 4k all that and a bag of chips? The jury is still out, there is no programming available yet. Time will tell.

I got this receiver to replace my decade old and failing Sony receiver. It was a no brainer as it was truly simple to set up and within a very short time we were enjoying full rich sound again. Combined with the Sony 4K Blu Ray player and 4K TV and yea, we are really happy.

This movie is not what you'd expect. It actually has a lot to say. It is NOT a Hugh Jackman vehicle for sure.

Genuine HP inks outperform the non OEMs that claim to be "as good". They aren't, that simple.

This is by far one of the best of the Marvel films to date. If anyone would have asked those of us old enough "back in the day" if a graphic novel made into a movie would be any good this one would be it. Pure entertainment!

whats the difference between this 2: (same price) despite size Sony - 49 Class (48.5 Diag.) LED 2160p - Smart - 4k Ultra Hd Tv XBR49X700D and Sony 43" Class (42.5" Diag.) LED 2160p Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV XBR43X800D

The display technology itself. The more expensive unit is thinner and supposedly makes a brighter picture .. . . . . hmmm

Can I hook up up my speakers to make it surround sound

Sure, you'll need an A/V receiver from Sony, Denon, Samsung and many others. Its a piece of cake to have your own home theater. Do the research and spend the money, you'll be quite happy.
