sure it is.

like many good box players, ps4 player definitely give better video and audio.

tv player is very basic, for basic files!

any good player (but also wallet friendly) to recommend sir?
i see lyn here himedia quite popular, but the android version runs kinda outdated, does it matter?

also if playing using kodi, will the sound and PQ also better compares using the default tv player?
so far im using htpc now

I hv used himedia q10pro for 1.5 years now.

For local playback, it is among the best players u can find.

More so if u r into big full bluray 4k hdr files with hd audio.

To my eyes, himedia q10pro native player output is superior to kodi app player... or any other app player.

Tv player.. to me, it is poor enuf that i never use it!

Android version is fine, 7.0; just dun buy anything android 5 or even 6 now since android 9 is already launched.

how would ua6800x 50" compare with sony x7500F 49" and samsung NU7400 50" in terms of picture quality?

i intend to use the tv in my bedroom (dark lightnings) for:

1) HK drama streaming
2) Football
3) movies
4) Netflix 4k

Not sure whether to pay the extra for samsung nu7400" and get an android box (Mibox international/minix neo u9-h) or settle with either sony/sharp.

My personal review

6800x > nu7400 = x7500

my bedroom i use nu7100, haha

thanks! i go digital mall try try the tv box

anyone knows how to kill background app for this tv?

...

some sellers will try to sell u the cheaper A5 or Q30 or Q5pro.

imo, Q10pro is well worth the extra rm100 or so.

just restart android if u find it unresponsive, or just delete the app that's taking too much resource

What I meant was, if I were to use an Android box, with SB connected to box and when I watch Youtube using box (cause I don't wanna use too many remotes), I can't off SB cause will become no sound.

Unless I switch to using TV's Youtube, which I need to whip out TV's remote.

Can extract that APK and install on my TV right? lol

Sony's built-in player very basic.

for youtube and netflix, u r much better off using the TV.
becos few boxes come with netflix 4k hdr.
and u need to get the right versions of youtube for box to do 4k.
yes, that's what i do all the time.
how do u find the sony androidtv?
i do not understand why some people say they hate it... shud be the same as the sharp androditv.
i gotta get my hands on somebody's sony androidtv and check it out.

just about ALL TV's come with shitty players for playback.
becos TV makers are supposed to make good displays, they dun spend research/money to make good players - and rightly so - that's somebody else's biz.
just that i think i am failing to convince u to forget using it.
u know... it does a lot of injustice to the thousands of rm u already spent on the TV and soundbar!

Any news for the previous firmware?

Don't think Android on Sony TV is any difference from other brands. Most of them running on MTK processor anyway. Slightly laggy here and there. Blame it on the lacked of CPU power.

I use the built in player mainly for 4k content. Somehow it seems smoother than Kodi @ 4k video.

As for good built-in TV player. I was pretty happy with LG' webOS built-in player. Has option to change subtitle colour, set delay and etc. Nothing on Sony's. 😅

these features and lots more are found in any good box player.

of course, u r not convinced.

naaa... once you update... you gotta wait for next update
if u wanna use movie player via portable, gotta find media player... and i just get Nvidia Shield for that

how about Nvidia Shield..?
is it good for media player..?

I never used one, dun really know.

Can read, ask:

That's like asking if Porsche made high performance driver's cars... Yes, it's an excellent media player. One of the best actually. Definitely, the best Android OS powered media player commercially available today.
