Not a true wireless printer
on February 2, 2017
Posted by: duder12341
from 54601
This printer has no way of allowing you to enter the wireless network.
The automated process did not work on windows or android. USB worked fine. Honestly, the Android app is terrible. I am sending this back for a printer that actually allows you to enter the wireless network so if this automated stuff doesnt work than you are still in business.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best budget 4k money can buy

The Android interface and built in Google cast are fantastic. No need to buy a streaming box or Chromecast because this TV has BOTH.
The picture is really great. I have watched some Netflix and Amazon contentin 4k and cannot believe how detailed and bright the colors are.
The only thing I don't like about the TV is the remote but the voice search button more than makes up for it.

Last years chipset
on April 5, 2016
Posted by: duder12341
from 54601
I bought this TV and unfortunately returned. The Android OS and picture quality was phenomenal. The Operating system is hands down better than any smart TV on the market. You get full google play store and built in chromecast support. Voice search even smokes Apple TV/Fire TV. The possibilities are endless for a TV while still being super user friendly. Now for picture quality the colors absolutely pop like no other TV I have seen before. Only small complaint I would have about the picture quality is the blacks could be better in a dim lit room.
What wasn't good is the fact that Sony decided to use last years chipset /processing so the X850D (and the X930D) is still very slow to navigate. I have an Nvidia Shield Android TV and the interface is so smooth the Sony Bravia Android TV felt like a downgrade. Also, I could not believe Sony shipped this TV on Android 5.1 when 6.0 is out and we are approaching 7.0 already this summer.
I think this TV is still a great buy its just doesn't warrant the expense over last years model due to Sony using the same internals. I will see what they bring out next year and hopefully wont be disappointed by them using cheap processing and outdated OS.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Smart TV Available

The Android TV Operating system is so good it puts this tv far above competing sets from Samsung and LG.
First off the interface is great and you get a huge selection of apps from the Google PlayStore. The voice recognition is also phenomenal. Also if you don't want to stream apps on the tv you can stream them from your phone since it has built in chromecast!
Oh and the picture is fantastic too ;)

Best picture quality and smart TV operating system
on May 31, 2015
Posted by: duder12341
from 54601
Just want to comment about some of the reviews giving this TV a bad review because of missing Netflix... People, you buy a TV to keep it for 5 - 7 years. Why are you saying a TV is terrible because its missing an app that will be out any day on your JUST RELEASED TV with the BRAND New Android OS.
The funniest part about these complaints is this TV has built in Chromecast support so while you are waiting a couple more days for the TV Netflix app just CAST IT FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE!
This TV is awesome and all the major apps are on their way. One of the only TVs with built in Chromecast and a full operating system! It is better than any smart TV out there. Samsung included.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was not happy that you can only use 2 programs. I thought it could do so much more. Maybe in 2 years it will have more uses.

Limited capability
By adhyde from Lafayette, La
We thought the Chromecast was just like all the other streaming devices in the market. Once, I plugged it in I realized I could not stream directly from the device over the wireless. I had to return 3 of them and replace them with Roku sticks.
The Chromecast may have some great potential uses but it lacks the capabilities of the competitor devices.

Needs outside power?
By rotorhead9
I didn't see anywhere that you have to have more ugly power cables across the mantle just to power something that should be capable to get its power from the TV....very poor advertisements and explanation of requirements.

Because you do not need to plug it into an outlet. You plug it into a USB port on the back of your TV to power it.

Enjoy a world of entertainment with Google Chromecast. Just connect to your HDTV's HDMI interface and your home Wi-Fi network to get started. You can stream your favorite apps from your compatible phone, tablet or laptop, plus use your phone as a remote to search, play and pause content.

really laggy
By kyhkyh
I bought this a few months ago, and used it as daily driver for about 3 months, and finally give up. This phone occasionally becomes really laggy (more than once per day), especially when I was trying to use the camera. The laggy is not just a little slow, it is kind like freeze for a few seconds (sometimes more than 5 seconds).
A lot of people have this issue, and no solution yet.
I finally bought a galaxy S6 about two weeks ago, and it is so much better. Faster, better battery life, better screen, better finger print scanner, and most import wireless charging.

The lag is gone.
March 20, 2016
The lag is gone. Google cleared it up completely with their March update. Moving to the S6 was a bad move. The Nexus 5x is faster than it is now and you will never see regular software updates on the S6.

Chromecast is not a cable service. you will still need the fios boxes if you want to get over the air tv.

Yes you can stream multiple apps at the same time like nextflix
