The TV definitely put out great darks, colors, & clarity. Remote feels a little cheap in a sense that it's like you have to push a bit deeper into the control before the input is received also in the dark it can take awhile to figure out which side to point to TV. Done with trying to comment about speakers and reading people commenting about it -it's just TV speakers guys, of course you won't get the best quality. Only TV with great speakers is the Bose TV. And probably those higher end models which you won't even wanna spend on even though audio is a huge deal breaker for ya. TV responds quick to remote control input. I've been with Samsung for a long time and I'd say Sony UI kinda sucks or could just be Sony Android UI. I did like the built-in Google Cast because connection was stable and quick. But yeah this TV has nothing else to offer to me. Yes it's a sale right now at $699 but I'll just spend a bit more for a better Samsung TV.
Bought it yesterday. Noticed some lit (opposite of dead) up pixels so I had an exchange today. Everything was smooth until the screen just went black, I was playing XBOX then suddenly picture dies, still light there but it was black. Picture was gone but audio still there. For my first 2 Sony products this is a huge disappointment. I'm not gonna get an exchange for a 3rd time this is the last, I'm returning this for good and probably will never buy another Sony again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After 5 years with my struggling gaming laptop I figured it was time for a lighter and better upgrade.
Bought it directly from HP to get it before Best Buy had it in stock. Got the 4K with Iris Graphics, 16GB RAM and i7- 6560U.
Ran Premiere Pro a few times and there was no lag, of course it heated up but then fan managed to cool it down. But there was no noticeable slowing down. And the fan was not annoyingly loud.
Picture is sharp. Every now and then you'll encounter software that is shrunken because of its lower pixel density and even if you try to disable display setting on high density display it doesn't work. Just gotta deal with it until your software gets that 4K treatment.
I can’t attest much to screen brightness because my display is usually set on the darker end about the lowest darkness up to 35%. I’d say it’s bright enough. And sometimes it’s as if the display adapts to ambiance brightness.
Speakers? Well you get 4 B&O, 2 up top and 2 on the bottom that works simultaneously, but that doesn't amount to much. When there was news about this product at CES I think they said only 2 will work at a time depending on how you orient it but I guess they shied away from that. Just don’t expect impeccable sound. Even settings can’t be tweaked enough to make it sound much better. Sound is OK at best. Lenovo Yoga 900 excelled in that category. It only has 2 small speakers placed at the bottom but boy oh boy will it blow your mind when you flip it around the sound adapts. This PC doesn’t when you flip it around so even when maxing volume it can be hard to understand dialog from the video you’re watching.
Found it weird that the touchpad is a bit wide but I guess it has its perks especially when dragging a window without holding that left click.
Another possible problem I noticed is when you pinch or press down the lower right of the pc, just right of the touchpad, there seems to be some kinda click. Hope it’s not just my PC that does that.
To conclude, yes I would recommend this PC to anyone looking for a light computer less than 5 lbs with good sound, good picture, and a screen no smaller than 15”.

There was a comment that this TV has "True 120 hz. Can be upscaled to 240". What does "Upscaled to 240" mean and how does that happen?
hz is also the FPS. A TV is just made with that Max number and could not go upwards, just downwards. Like a 120hz could be disabled which puts it <120hz, just don't know what they follow. Maybe 60hz..
