Still the best streaming dongle around
on December 3, 2015
Posted by: liperus
The original Google Chromecast was a revolutionary device that changed how people used their TVs. This updated version of the dongle only improves on its predecessor. It has 5GHz Wifi connectivity (802.11ac) for faster streaming and seamless connections. With more and more apps being cast-enabled, the chromecast is absolutely worth the purchase at this point.

Required for online gaming

This is required in order to play online on the PS4. There's not much to say. Maybe look online for deals if you don't want to pay $50 for it.

Best console controller?
on December 3, 2015
Posted by: liperus
Ever since I first held the Xbox 360's controller almost 10 years ago, I always thought it was the best controller around, and that Sony would need to do miracles to beat it. The Dualshock 4 for the Playstation 4 actually managed to outrank it in my opinion. The controller feels amazing in hand, the vibration is solid and precise, and the buttons are where they need to be.
There's also the lightbar, which some games make good use of (although they are very few), and will be used alongside Playstation VR next year.
There's also the off-putting touchpad in the middle, that doesn't always add much functionality, but again some games make good use of it.
Also, since it's bluetooth, you can easily use this controller with other devices, such as coputers, phones and even TVs.
The battery life is decent for my usage. It easily lasts a few days of playing/using the PS4.

As always, small improvements
on December 3, 2015
Posted by: liperus
Fifa 16 adds a few things on top of last year's game. Women teams finally are playable, which is awesome. Other aspects of gameplay have been improved, and the game looks very natural. Semi-pro and lower difficulties still have a less than impressive AI, but harder ones are very challenging. Playing online can be frustrating at times, but it's generally good.
I somehwat miss the easy-goingness of earlier Fifa games (like Fifa 06 era) where the game was more arcade-y and less serious. But this one is good as well, just different.

Sanctuary is a place of peace and safety, but you know this hasn't always been the case. Two decades ago the Prime Evils plagued your world, but thanks to the tireless combat waged by the Barbarians, Demon Hunters, Monks, Witch Doctors and Wizards their reign of terror came to an end. Now whispers are circulating in the city of Tristram, the place where it all began, and rumor has it that a new menace is coming. Heroes must rise to the call of battle once more and defend Sanctuary against the demon hordes. Raise your weapon, sharpen your skills and join the quest — before it's too late.Return to the world of Sanctuary to wage war against the forces of evil in this action-packed Ultimate Evil Edition, which combines the thrilling Diablo III with the critically acclaimed Reaper of Souls expansion pack. Choose your identity from one of the five original customizable classes, including Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor and Wizard, or select the all-new Crusader class that lets you don fortified armor and rain down holy vengeance on the powers of darkness. Jump into the action of Reaper of Souls when you set out on an epic quest through frightening and awe-inspiring landscapes where peril lurks around every corner on the journey to the legendary city of Westmarch. Decimate demonic foes in fast-paced combat as you fight your way to the ultimate opponent — Malthael, the Angel of Death, a terrifying enemy bent on the ultimate destruction of the innocent denizens of Sanctuary. Feel the freedom of an expansive open world with Adventure mode, which lets you unleash your powers anywhere at any time as you strike down any demon foolish enough to cross your path. Track down the elder evil in randomized objectives that allow you to explore Sanctuary in new ways and earn bounties. Descend into the depths of fully randomized dungeons with Nephalem Rifts that deliver hours of replayability and tons of loot. Quest with advanced players and boost your stats with Apprentice mode. Personalize your loot by seeking out The Mystic, a mysterious artisan who takes your gear to the next level. Fight alone or with friends in four-player same-screen mode or online multiplayer mode. Receive the Infernal Pauldrons with pre-order — exclusive transmogrifiable shoulder plates honed to a deadly sharpness that are wearable in level one and provide enhanced health, life regeneration and cooldown reduction. Your might is needed to defend Sanctuary from the malevolent drive of a demon army — it's time to shoulder your weapon and leap into the fray once again.

Fantastic game
on December 3, 2015
Posted by: liperus
Diablo III is a fantastic game which can keep you entertained for tens and tens of hours. The graphics are good, the story is interesting, the fights are challenging when you start increasing the level. Once the story is finished, you can keep playing in Adventure mode to get your hero the armor and weapon you need to keep beating monsters and increasing the difficulty.
Local and online multiplayer are a nice addition to the gameplay.

Awesome game, but no single player campain
on December 3, 2015
Posted by: liperus
Star Wars Battlefront looks absolutely gorgeous on the PS4. The multiplayer online battles are a lot of fun, especially when it's 20v20. The game lacks a single player campain mode though, which is a pity. This game is a must-buy for any Star Wars fan.

Excellent TV
on November 24, 2015
Posted by: liperus
This TV is absolutely fantastic. The 4K panel is insanely sharp, and the color accuracy in incredible. I was on the fence between this and the JS8500 from Samsung, but am ultimately happy with my final choice, as the colors on Samsung TVs are in my opinion a bit too vivid and therefore not lifelike (although you can't really go wrong with it either way).
The fact that all 4 HDMI inputs are HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant means this TV is future-proof for all the 4K content that is coming in the next few years. Also, ARC (Audio Return Channel) has been working great, and the audio is coming out of my Yamaha receiver and home theater system (can't really comment on the TVs audio, since I haven't ever used it!) CEC has also been working without any hiccups, and I'm using the TVs remote to control Android, my receiver and my Cable Box. Awesome!
Android TV, the OS that runs this TV, is still in its early years, and it is definitely not perfect yet. However, the experience is fluid and everything seems to work OK. I expect the upcoming update to Android 6.0 to improve on the little things that are not yet polished for Android TV. Also, I wish there was a baked in browser (such as chrome), but there are options on the Play Store to install.
All in all, it's a really good TV for the price, and I'm very happy with it.

Does what it is supposed to

There's not much to say. This cable does what it's supposed to and does it well. I feel like it could be a little bit cheaper though, as it's a very basic cable.

Fantastic device

Google has managed to deliver again with the new Chromecasts (especially the Chromecast Audio). Setup is fast and painless, the sound is great, and it works with pretty much every speaker/sound system you may have lying around.
You can also cast the audio from apps, such as Youtube or a specific Chrome tab, which can come in quite handy for some people.

HDR quality video while streaming 4k from Netflix? or from HDR device through HDMI2.0 only?

3 questions then a brief statement:

1. Because of the added HDR feature, will the display resolution for this TV ever have the resolution of 3840 x 2160 / 60 Hz, when I'm watching streaming 4K?
2. Will I have increased video quality on the the Sony xbr55x850c because of the HDR feature while I'm watching a 4k streaming show from Netflix vs without the HDR feature? (I know I will have to pay the extra fee to Netflix for this option as well.)
3. Is a device like Sony's FMP-X10 4K Ultra HD Media Player required to get the true benefits of the HDR on this TV? Or a any 4k Blu-Ray player?

I want this tv because I thought HDR will make the picture ultimately brighter and clearer, but if to do so the source must have HDR technology, like something from a player, and cannot be streamed from either Netflix or Amazon, I'm a bit disappointed.

After a recent conversation with tech support with Sony about HDR for the Sony xbr55x850c, I was emailed this article dated 10/13/15, titled:

"What is the High Dynamic Range (HDR) feature on the 4K Android TV?"
Please scroll to the bottom and read the fine print after going to the link:
https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63061

Below is the text in the photos?
"If you select [Enhanced format], you can apply High Quality signal format for HDMI viewing. Please select it only when supported devices are connected."

-----4. What is an example of a supported device?
-----5. What if I'm streaming Netflix right from the TV, with no player in the loop?

See attached screenshots as well.

Anyone have any answers?

-Thanks

I'll give this a shot. Once Netflix implements HDR to some of its shows, you should be able to get the benefit on this TV automatically. The same should apply to HDR from Amazon Instant Video. However, I believe the HDR protocol standard has yet to be determined, and I don't know if Samsung and Sony are currently using the same standard, which could be an issue.

Basically, as long as you're streaming 4K/HDR from a baked-in app, you should get the full benefits of it. If you're using an external device, you should also get the benefits since all the ports on this TV are HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 (and as long as your external device also had these protocols on its HDMI out). Also be sure to use the [Enhanced format] option for the specific HDMI input you're using on the TV.

Currently there are no (or close to none) external devices that support all of this (maybe the 4K UHD Media Player from Sony, but I'd have to check it out in more detail), so this line if for future devices that will follow all these specifications (we should see plenty of those starting in 2016).

In summary: as long as you're using the Netflix and Amazon Instant Video apps from this TV, you should get the full benefits of 4K and HDR.

I hope I answered your questions.
