hey guys.... found this thread ytd. and i've read tru whole thread last night.
I'm thinking to get 47W804A. Is it good timing to get it now? Heard that Sony will launch new models around end of March or early April. The cheapest i found the price of this 47W804A is RM3500, JB. I found that it's quite cheap lah.. |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Feb 28 2014, 03:24 PM) Do you even need 3D? If you don't, save some money and get the W7 instead. I've never recommended the W8 due to its decent-at-best black levels. Hmm dilemma between these two models. W704A and W804A....   I know W804A is passive 3D right. Not sure if i need 3D atm but i know watch 3D cartoons i guess is superb. 1) 46W704 - RM2650 2) 50W704 - RM3500 3) 47W804 - RM3500 these are the prices i got so far...

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Feb 28 2014, 04:32 PM) I personally think 3D is stupid for a TV size under 60". It's just not immersive enough to be worth the trouble, it's also just a gimmick in my eyes that doesn't add visual flair to most movies save for a few special ones that does it well. ohic.... okie noted... Still consider Sony.... So it's up to you decide if 3D is important to you or not, if so then head for the W804 or even the LG LA7400.  |

Finally ytd bought 47W804. Although Sony has announced the new Model. 50W800B but nvm lah.. As long as the W804A works great.
Anyway I've seen the 50W800B from Sony Apps (iphone) stated COMING SOON. |

QUOTE(edthrax @ Mar 3 2014, 12:13 PM) Congrats bro. Sony TV is awesome. Was deciding between 55pfl8008 and 55w804 , but then got a very good offer for 55w954, so bought the 55w954, man the PQ is superb. as for input lag, I came from LG 47w5700, playing ps4 on the w954, really can feel the difference.. Yea man.. I also from LG LCD so it's quite big difference and upgrade.. for my small room is 47W804 served me very good. Even my fiancee also can feel the difference. Yeah Sony Smart TV is quite boring. Only Youtube able to watch 1080 full hd as i dont have to connect with my Laptop to watch. The Smart TV portion sure do sucks on sony TV.haha Regarding the ARC input. Hmmm... My old Samsung HT dont have ARC. I guess my HT 5.1 not working. Is it becz of my HT is not ARC that's why 5.1 not working? |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Mar 3 2014, 07:48 PM) ARC has got nothing to do with 5.1, in a way whether they work or not. Read up on ARC - http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/arc.aspx Yeah... that's the bad thing for Sony. BRAVIA SYNC incompatible with other brands. Explain more on why your HT isn't working though. No audio? No signal? As for Sony's Smart TV, unfortunately it is something they'll never be able to match Samsung or LG in. Ridiculous, coming from a company who owns the PlayStation brand, lol. At least there's Netflix and Hulu Plus however. I'm using Samsung HT 5.1 DVD system. Normally when i watch Bluray with my PS3 normally it works with 5.1 channel (was using optical cable from ps3/ps4 to Samsung HT). Since Sony W804A has HDMI (ARC) Input so i connected HDMI (ARC) to my Samsung HT but it works 2.1 channel instead of 5.1 channel.  Wondering is it becz of my HT must has ARC too? |

At least there's Netflix and Hulu Plus however. At the end i didnt use the ARC port anymore. I'm using Optical Cable output from PS4 to my HT input. Under PS4 Sound setting > [Primary Output Port] > [DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)] and Bitstream instead of Linear PCM. When watching bluray under setting needs to set Bitstream MIX. So my bluray movie is working with 5.1 DTS now. In PS4 XMB 5.1 is working as well. |
