OLED TVs will remain very expensive for the forseeable future
There are no physical controls on the TV itself

Little transducers on the back vibrate the screen to produce sound
moire artifacts caused by the camera which are not present on the screen
artifacts are present and edges do appear a bit jagged
No cherry-picked units sent by brands

Can I watch Netflix on XBR-65A1E
lyn.hagenes
over 1 year ago
Here are a few ways to determine if you can watch Netflix on your TV: 1) Determine if your TV is a smart TV: Look at the specifications or manual for your TV to see if it has internet connectivity and the ability to access and run streaming apps like Netflix. 2) Check for a Netflix app: If your TV is a smart TV, look for a Netflix app on the TV's home screen or app store. You can also check the manufacturer's website or the TV's manual to see if Netflix is listed as a supported app. 3) Use a streaming device: If your TV is not a smart TV, you can use a separate device like a streaming stick, set-top box, or Blu-ray player with built-in streaming capabilities to access Netflix and other streaming services. To watch Netflix on your TV, you will also need a stable internet connection and a Netflix subscription. Once you have these, you can set up your TV or streaming device and start watching Netflix on your TV.

Sony A1E 4K TV review: This could be the best OLED TV money can buy

4.5

Take an OLED panel and combine it with Sony's picture processing wizardry and you get what is the best image we've seen on an OLED TV. But how HDR will affect OLED lifespan we don't yet know.

Unique style and incredible OLED picture, but there's a 'Sony tax'

Sony's OLED TV costs a lot more than its LG rivals, but does its picture quality justify the price? We compare the two best TVs ever side-by-side.

Sony XBR65A1E Review (XBR55A1E, XBR77A1E, XBR-65A1E) OLED TV

Through the gloss screen finish with excellent anti-reflective qualities the A1E produces an awesome OLED TV picture quality that is unrivaled by 4K LED TVs at the moment. Though the OLED panel is manufactured by LG, Sony's processing chip sets and design are all Sony, and therefore make the A1E a bit different from their competitor.
