Product Reviews

49X800E is worth $750, not $850

If the price of this TV is around $750, I will give 5 stars.Pros:1. As always, excellent picture quality;2. Acceptable sound quality, much better than previous model X800D;Cons:1. Only 2 HDMI support 4K@60Hz;2. It has built-in Bluetooth, but still not able to connect to a Bluetooth headphone directly, not even the Sony mdr 1000x. To connect to Bluetooth headphone, you have to buy a Bluetooth transmitter;3. Three USB ports in total, two of which are USB 2.0. Really? In the year of 2017, Sony still prefers USB 2.0? Does Sony want their TV customer to connect a mouse to the TV or use the TV as cellphone charging station?

Great TV, just don’t buy this one for your Grandparents.

Overall (3.⁵⁄₅), the superb quality of the visual, audio, and design of this tv (in my mind) overshadow the flaws that are found in the interface.REASON FOR PURCHASE: I bought this TV after viewing the 800d I decided to wait for the 800e.VISUAL & AUDIO OUTPUT: ⁵⁄₅. In terms of visual/audio quality, I’m very impressed. Color spectrum looks great. Have had no issues with 4k output for ps4 or xbox one s upscaling. Looks great. For my apartment, there’s no chance I’m going to even consider a soundbar. Remarkable upgrade over the 800d.DESIGN: ⁵⁄₅: Looks great, feels great. Unboxing is tough with one person if you’re going to be super careful so just be warned on that front.FIELD OF VIEW: ⁴⁄₅. This is one thing I’m not sure I can blame Sony for but the image viewing angle feels a bit smaller than I’d like. Especially in my studio apartment where I occasionally will view it laying down (Off to the side and below normal viewing range), I sometimes feels as if the color spectrum doesn’t look right. It’s something that I overthought when purchasing this TV so just wanted to bring it up.PRICE: ⁵⁄₅. I don’t think any TV’s I looked at within this price range even compared to the quality of this tv. it honestly the best <$1000 tv i saw.EASE OF USE AND INTERFACE : 2.⁵⁄₅: Honestly, this is probably the most flawed issue with this tv…and maybe I’m being harsh since I work in software. I can only imagine someone without technical skills. The built in interface can feel a bit laggy when frequently switching between apps. It seems also that closing an app should be as simple as it is on your android/iphone … but the process is difficult especially on the built in controller. Not sure how memory management is working but it feels that switching between apps causes increasing lag. The worst part of this is manipulating between inputs/built in apps feels like there’s some sort of disconnect. I almost think it would be better if the tv treated the built in apps as if it was it’s own input but instead it acts an overlay on a particular input. WHAT THIS MEANS: if you are on HDMI2 and click the netflix button, the audio will switch to the netflix…which seems great. However, switching back to HDMI2 DOES NOT switch the audio back to HDMI2, forcing you to go through the bulky process to actually close the netflix app / whatever app is open OR actually pull the power on the TV. I assume an update is coming for this, but it let be known THIS IS an issue.TL;DR: This review is really a 3.5. If your main use of this tv is going to be apps and tv, then it’s perfect. GAMERS be warned: This tv provides imperfect audio output detection. That is, switching from an hdmi input to built in applications and back to that hdmi input results in a loss of sound. Hoping a firmware update will fix this and I can up this TV to a ⁵⁄₅.
