there are no component inputs
s no image quality degradation
it s a 65-inch panel
The maximum brightness is one weak spot
input lag seems to cycle over time
video signal to the display reduced the flicker
The IR sensor angle was quite narrow
the three-pin-plug UK model
saturated colours still looked a touch too vibrant in the darkest scenes
the flicker became more noticeable with the 50Hz sports broadcast prevalent
no traditional pedestal stand
it s never been applied to a TV panel before
the set finds near-dark detail in the landscape
awful Live Football mode is still pre-eminent in the menus
image processing is evident on the Standard preset
OLED screens made things a little too dark
large tile-based homepage feels dated and clunky
the A1 is lacking aesthetic flourishes
Sony A1 will not fall off your TV rack without
Only Panasonic is holding on
the remote is otherwise cluttered and really rather dull
only enhanced as it gets bigger
Game Mode has a low input lag
Sony has a rather odd approach
Sony wastes no time in blowing your mind with its presentation
Stan's 4K content is so far unavailable through the Android TV app
it clunky and even sluggish at times
on-average input lag figure
vibration frequency is invisible to the human eye
smart string lights
lag time is disappointing and a little high for serious gamers
it s in the bottom-left corner
the speaker drivers are placed behind the screen
the ports and controls can be rather difficult to access
Sony TVs there is no colour management system (CMS)
s a removable panel on the back of the rear section
no CMS our options in this area were limited
odd angular stand and lacklustre remote
images are slightly too strong when darkening than the light sensor
Reflections sometimes have a very weak purple-red tint
The large and thin screen is quite heavy
moderate input lag and the brightness
the interface looks unnecessarily large
dimming over time is now more aggressive
moire artifacts caused by the camera which are not present on the screen
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
It may not display this or other websites correctly
input lag is a bit high with a 1080p input
artifacts are present and edges do appear a bit jagged
the A1 OLED is a dud
audio issues and subsequently returned to service centre
the box was not sealed (open box)
Lost channels
internet dropping out
remote not always working unless
Price is a little to high
the sound feels like a bit of an afterthought

Can I watch Netflix on KD-65A1
faustino
over 1 year ago
Yes. A smart TV is a television set that is equipped with internet capabilities and the ability to access and run various streaming apps and services, allowing you to watch online content from platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video without the need for external devices. To use these services, you'll need to have a subscription and a stable internet connection, and set up your TV to connect to your home network. Once you've done this, you can access the streaming apps through the TV's menu or home screen and begin watching your favorite shows and movies.
