Sony A95L | Pros • Amazing picture quality - The image is described as beautiful, with rich colors and impressive resolution. • Good sound quality - The sound output and clarity are described as a big improvement, even eliminating the need for a home theater system. • Well-designed remote - The remote features a user-friendly layout, backlighting, and pre-programmed buttons for popular streaming services. • Easy setup - Setting up the TV and connecting to Wi-Fi is straightforward and quick. • Great usability - Menus are nicely arranged, and navigating settings is quick and efficient. • VESA mount compatibility - The TV comes with the necessary screws for easy wall mounting. • Remote control app - The ability to use an iPhone app as a remote adds convenience. • Single power cord - The absence of a power brick simplifies the setup. Cons • Slow operating system - The OS is criticized for being sluggish and unresponsive. • Poor user interface - The interface often forgets app usage and displays ads, detracting from the experience. • Instructions are inadequate - The printed instructions are poorly made and not helpful, requiring users to seek online resources. • Single remote limitation - A suggestion for having two remotes is mentioned, implying that one remote can be insufficient for multiple users. • Cord color preference - The black power cord is noted as undesirable compared to a white option. |
