If you use firestick and come back to TV's non android os, it would be a whole world of difference. If you have spent so much for the TV and do not spend that 4000 extra for a 4kuhd firestick, it is a situation of penny wise pound foolish indirectly. Just my 2¢. Take hotstar for instance. My lg webos cannot play hotstar like firestick does. Even lionsgate and Sony liv
It all depends upon what settings one is using or what colour tone one prefers, these top line sets offer great customisation.
Did you inform Samsung n subsequently did someone come over yet...
Yes I called up the technician who came to install the tv and he's going to visit on Monday (Sunday being a holiday).
I get your point. But this might be used mostly by my parents once my office starts. So I really doubt they will care about all these things. But I might anyway get firestick since they're comfortable with that UI.
Get the basic one for Rs 2999, it will more than suffice, since your parents also consume the TV then I assume you would already be having a DTH box with HD package...lot easier for older folks to relate to a conventional set top box with its menu guide n fixed channel numbers...
Standard mode (SDR) on both my QN90A n LG CX mode behave like typical standard mode with a predominantly bluish/ cool tinge to neutral colour temperature while Sony default standard mode has a warmer colour tone n the contrast particularly the colours seem washed out n trying to force DCI P3 or BT 2020 colour space just looks horrendous. The Samsung n LG both have Native/WCG enforced by default in the standard n few other presets n unlike the Sony my QN90A n LG CX look fantastic (Subjective) and just right while displaying SDR.
How good is the viewing angle on this model given the 50 inch panel is VA. Also did you face any blooming issue because of the less number of dimming zones compared to 55 inch.
Yes, DTH rules. But they're already impressed with the convenience ott platforms offer. Is firestick surely the better choice against mi android 4k box?
I've only seen normal content so far. Watched the ipl match today from around 45-55 degree angle. And while there's definite some colour shift and brightness loss, its not unwatchable by any means.
Get the 4k ultra max one it has a faster processor and in times to come with whole lot of content with DV it will help.
I am not sure they have a battle but since Hotstar was primarily developed as a mobile platform so the bulk of their developers are on android/iOS and a limited numbers are for tizen and webOS so it surely takes a longer time to roll out features for these operating systems vis-à-vis android (that’s where the Sony TVs have an advantage)
Yes while there is no doubting that Ultra Max is much faster than the normal fire stick but my belief is once you decide to spend Rs 6.5 K on a streaming box why not spend some more and get the real deal either the Apple TV 4K or Nvidia shield !!!
I haven't read much about MI Box but they do come with multiple USB ports though but still I will prefer Fire stick over it.
More than the faster processor, it's the FireOS 7(based on Android 9) that makes it a worthy upgrade. With more 3rd party Apps started leveraging the Android 9 library, the new firestick will improve the user experience considerably.
Yes. A simple hard reset was needed. I had tried to get the instructions from customer care but he couldn't provide me the information. I think the tv tried to update the software in the background and I must've powered it off leading to this situation.
Glad it is all sorted
sometimes a simple hard reset is all that is required .
