4K Blow

So it's a sample to iron out problems before the official release. That would explain it.

You didn’t read the whole thread, did you? 🙂 I did actually link halfway in the thread where the issues were grave, but for some reason it linked the first post in the link, but if you click on it then it’s halfway through the thread. Sorry, for the confusion.

I have never understood why anyone releases something without fully testing it first. ...

It’s a bit like testing new medicines. Even with rigorous trials, the sample size can never cover every possible scenario, so some issues only become apparent once it’s released to the wider population.

I'll never buy a Sony, because in earlier models you had to manually switch to Dolby Vision and/or Atmos where relevant. No thank you. Sony have always had usability problems with their products. But on the website with various gambling games, there are no problems with convenience.

I agree with every word above. I haven't used Sony technology in a long time either.
