Can I find out from the owner of Sony 65 inch x85j TV about the TV stand ?

I saw some video that says the TV can be put on table top using both wide position and narrow position as well.

The wide position is 120 cm and the narrow position is 46 cm.

Because my table top is small, I want to use the narrow position.

Is that ok ? Is my understanding correct ?

Sony X85j couldn't play properly a video I download from the net. I tried the media player and also Kodi, it is showing video with horizontal strips distortion. Same file play on pc is ok.

I could not get the browser to install any APK, at least built in browser won't install it. I install a file manager called 'AnExplorer' and that allow me to browser the files in the TV and install it.

I couldn't even get the built in browser to download an app, so I have to use yet another program to transfer file to the TV, "Send Files to TV" is the program which allows me to transfer files from phone to TV.

"AnExplorer" and "send files to tv" can be installed via the play store.

Let me know what they could do to fix it ! <Grin>

It is a Sony problem, I doubt they can do much about it.

In the end, I downloaded a 1080p Blu-ray MP4 version, it plays without problem.

The 4k mkv version mastered by netizen could not be handled correctly by the Sony TV.

I did try to find out the codec, it does not appear to be unusual. The point is that the file is decoded properly on PC and my phone, it is just not decoded properly on the Sony TV. If you search the internet, Sony and other branded TVs are common to have decoding problem with MKV.

Haha I don't know whether it is too much to expect or not, I have tested the file with pc, phone, and my little TV box. All are able to play except the Sony ( the only smart TV that I have ).

Also the WiFi of the Sony is rather flaky, occasionally it loses connection to the internet. I am very reluctant to use the TV with a repeater ( which feeds the TV with an ethernet port ) as it requires additional powered up device.

Now I am shifting my WiFi router to find the best spot for the TV to use.

Read this and ask questions if you still don't know what's needed :-

I own a x85j, it similarly has wifi problem.

I think it is a driver stability issue, if the wifi signal is super strong, then it would have no problem. So after I shift my WiFi router to a better location giving stronger signal, the problem is gone.

But if you are unable to move the router to a better location, then you can consider buying another WiFi router ( eg ac1200 with 5 antennas about rm100+ ) will do. The additional router can provide a LAN port for the TV to use ( the new router connects to the original router as WiFi client ).

Gives Sony a bad reputation.

Yesterday I got a firmware update, that fixes this problem with the mkv file, ie the said mkv file can be played now.

I hope Sony also fixes the poor WiFi connection problem with this upgrade. As this happens only intermittently I need to test longer time to find out if it does any improvement on the WiFi.

So your 5ghz and 2.4ghz on different SSID ?

Because I configured the 5G and 2.4G same SSID, I cannot tell if it is connected via 5G or 2.4G. Maybe I split it and see if the problem is from which frequency.

I split it and notice my 5G has only 2 bar, whereas the 2.4G has 3 bar. Only connection to 2.4G is successful. The 5G cannot never succeed.

I guess your 5G is much less wall and obstacles. My 5G is upstair - downstairs. Maybe the signal is less efficient for vertical distance.

The issue here is that my phones and pc are able to use the 5g connection, and an additional cheap router can also connect to it. Only Sony cannot. So Sony 5G wifi is sub par. Period.

I could add a cheap router and use it as repeater it will work ( ie the additional router provides an ethernet for Sony and it connects WiFi 5g to the original internet router ). But that will require additional powered up device.

My router has no such setting. Only can select 20/40/80 vs 20/40. Both setting making no difference. Cannot connect.

Okay okay I changed it to channel 40 it is able to connect using 5G. Let's see how stable it is. Tq for the suggestion.

A channel in 5G is 20MHz, so I supposed it is understood that changing the auto channel selection to a fixed channel will mean limiting the WiFi bandwidth of the router to max that can be handled via 20MHz channel width.

My internet bandwidth is capped at 100Mbps, so I supposed it is not an issue, for me. But for those people who subscribe to higher internet bandwidth > 100Mbps, manual channel selection might limit the throughput of the router ?

Not sure exactly what you are asking but I am pretty sure you can get what you want from visiting Mr DIY.

I don't know those IEC terms/lingos.

As for my Sony TV, they give me a EU two pin plug. But such plug can go into a UK 3 pin socket by either using a screw driver inserting into the earth pin, or get a RM 2 plastic cap from Mr DIY.

Tell us more about this stoner acoustic usb DAC.

I cannot find "stoner acoustic" in Lazada or Shopee.

i want to know for x85j, how to receive audio with tv speaker together with another audio output ?

I read somewhere it is only possible with optical connection. The other connections using 3.5 mm headset jack or bluetooth can only have audio from one output, ie when one is on, the other will be muted.

Yeah I read that article before my post. I wonder anyone here has tried it.
