Great Film
on December 11, 2016
Posted by: Annonymous
Wild africa looks 4k great and is very similar in style as the planet earth movies. Tiny giants tell stories of a mouse and another of a squirrel, and the 4k isnt as good because its shot at night conditions, but the story is really cool and engaging. Wolf mouse vs scorpian is cool. Each segment is about 40min.

Great but overpriced
on November 20, 2016
Posted by: Annonymous
It seems overpriced because its really not that necessary for bass. The soundbar itself has plenty of bass. I actually had to lower the bass level on the sub. The sub is still pretty loud with very deep lows, however I think the board of the enclosure should have been thicker because it doesnt sound very solid. Although its very heavy, it doesnt seem very sturdy for its unique design, meaning the hole in the middle makes the air pressure inside less uniform causing "turbulence" inside the box.
Comparison: Interesting appearance, but the Bose acoustimass sub sounds better and deeper.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Soundbar out there
on November 20, 2016
Posted by: Annonymous
Review for sounbar only, but with the sub is great also.
PROS: (outweigh cons)
-No ethernet cable needed for setup.
-Wifi connection to phone app is very convenient, but the navigation isnt too simple.
-Night mode, and voice mode for TV.
-Equalizer adjustment of treble/bass
-Has big bass without need for the separate sub, especially if in a small room
-A+ for highs and midrange frequencies. A- for lows.

CONS:
-No separate remote for volume control. Didnt work w/ my 2015 LG magic remote, but does with xfinity remote.
-No HDMI connection, but really not needed for just 5.1 sound. BUT what happens if optical input breaks? get warranty..
-No Blutooth.. BUT according to manual, its not needed. Theres a way to connect phone directly to soundbar without blutooth or even an internet connection.
-Easier to setup and use, and better sounding than the Bose 300.
-Soundbar is too tall, so i had to tilt back sideways so it wont block my TV screen(but no difference in sound quality!)
-Not visually appealing like the Bose 300, but still puts out!

Side notes: The SUB setup procedure didnt work through phone app, only through my pc. Judging only on sound quality, I had the bose300 and sony st9, and sonos wins it.

The SoundTouch® 300 soundbar looks slim. But the sound? Anything but. That’s because every cubic inch of it is packed with technologies that make everything you listen to or watch sound clear and spacious. It starts inside with custom-shaped speakers that keep the profile low and pump out big sound. QuietPort™ technology virtually eliminates distortion so you hear surprisingly deep bass. And Bose® PhaseGuide® technology makes you believe you’re hearing sounds where there are no speakers. On the outside, the glass top and perforated wrap-around metal grille make the soundbar look as good in your room as it sounds. And with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® technology built in, you can wirelessly stream music any way you prefer. ADAPTiQ® audio room calibration from Bose ensures the soundbar sounds the best it can in the space you put it. HDMI™ connectivity with 4K pass-through keeps your system compatible with the most current technology. NFC provides quick and easy pairing. The SoundTouch® app gives you simple control over your favorite music. Works together with other SoundTouch® speakers so as you go from room to room, your music goes along with you. Includes a universal remote so you can control your other devices, too. Available in Black

Very good but not perfect
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: Annonymous
Pros: Very clear low mids. Gets very loud. Voices are good for TV and movies because of the strong deeper voice tones.
Cons: High mids seem to be missing. Not enough highs, which don't seem very present especially in music. IMO this unit is useless without the bass module for music with strong beats or for watching action movies.
*If all you need is a soundbar, you wont get any deep bass that you can get from a $100 one with its own built in subwoofer. Also, its not worth buying for $700 if you dont plan on also buying the bass module.

For the price, Very Good not great
on November 4, 2016
Posted by: Annonymous
If it was only 300 bucks, then it would be a 5 star rating, but its not.
Pros; Lots of highs.Crisp voices. Good for watching TV and movies. User friendly remote, many options but without having to be a tech wiz to understand. The easy remote alone makes me want to keep this soundbar. Pairs on its own with sub.
Cons; Not as loud as it looks, but still loud. Minimal if any midbass. Bad for music because of the frequency gap that seems to be missing (midbass and lower mids). Starts to roll off only at about 40hz using a tone generator (not surprising from only a 7" sub). Cannot connect to a different sub. The passive sub driver is useless, there should have just been a port for lower bass. The bass isnt very sharp either.
I will try to figure out if theres a setting to keep the soundbar from shutting off on its own only after a few minutes of non use, otherwise that alone will make me return this unit.
*Sidenote- The Bose 300 soundbar has a deeper/better/bigger separate subwoofer, but this sony has better highs. I have both

A comical parody of part 1 minus any comedy..
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: Annonymous
Too unrealistic in any aspect. This would be one of those 2 star rated sci fi movies on netflix. It would only be entertaining to an audience age 13 and under because it has lots of cool aliens, guns and flying, unfortunately for the producers its rated PG13. Visually cool, yet a terrible movie with or without expectations from part one. The ending tops it off by spitting at you in the face lol

Excellent TV
on October 2, 2016
Posted by: Annonymous
Im a TV guy and know what a good TV is. Great picture, good sound. Very slight motion blur, but you wont find much better on just a 32" size. Using it as a monitor, be sure to set it to Game mode for no input lag. 1080p is the way to go regardless of viewer distance, especially for monitor. calling back to get the price match difference now that its on sale ;)

windows 10 takes getting used to
on September 5, 2016
Posted by: Annonymous
But so far its perfect. everything is good about it. I dont videogame but still very fast performance. 5G connection makes the internet about 2x faster over 2.4G for this thing. The video quality is great, but the display itself has no specialty to it. It has a sweet spot angle, everywhere else has the effect as if there is very light dew on it, kinda like glitter. kinda expensive but if the screen wont bother, its a trade.

OLED technology and 4K resolutions combine in this 55-inch Sony Bravia TV. It produces deeper contrasts than ever before thanks to its OLED technology, and you get exquisite detail and impressive responses that look seriously realistic. Added to that is smart technology that lets you access online content, which makes this Sony Bravia TV a media powerhouse.

5 out of 5Unbelievable!
By Nylon
I picked up my 55" on Easter Monday 2017 and have been testing it all week. To be honest, I've never seen anything like it!
Let's start with the design even though it's subjective. The A1E has very minimalistic design. It seems Sony looked to a Bauhaus design credo when designing the set i.e. "form follows function". Sony obviously wants you to focus on the picture and the picture only. That's why there is virtually no bezel. In fact there is virtually no bulk to the TV. The TV disappears behind the screen. The stand is very well designed, heavy and solidly built. You will never feel like the TV is going to tip over. The connections are thoughtfully designed and cable management is fantastic with clips that keep cables together just below where they connect to the TV on the rear stand. The angle on the screen is so minimal that I barely noticed.
As far as picture quality is concerned, it's the best I've seen since the days of the Pioneer Kuro plasma's. This TV has picture quality that rivals and in some cases surpasses those Plasma's. The motion processing of the TV and it's 4k upscale capability far surpasses any LG OLED I have ever scene. HD sources are beautifully upscaled but I would say that one definitely needs to calibrate the TV in order to get the best out of it. I also have a 4K PVR at home and Broadcast 4K looks phenomenal, especially sports. Netflix 4k UHD and Amazon Prime 4k UHD also look amazing. I tested "The Grand Tour" on Amazon Prime, the episode where they are in dune buggies in Namibia and it felt like I was there. I also tested out an Alien Bluray 4k transfer which is probably one of the best contrast torture tests you can give a TV. All I can say is it was phenomenal.
As far as sound is concerned the TV has fantastic sound out of the box. While I use a Sonos Playbar setup, I did still test the sound out the speakers of the TV initially. I was shocked. The soundstage from the acoustic surface speakers is surprisingly large. Secondly it actually feels like noise is coming out of the characters mouths on this TV instead of from a speaker below.
So all in all I would say that Sony has hit it out of the park for their first OLED. I am ecstatic. This is my first jump into 4K and into OLED and I won't be looking back. No regrets at spending the money.

I bought this the first day it was released. It's super light and cheap feeling. On par with the Philips player. Right out of the box first movie I saw had banding/ posterization. This is unacceptable from lg. How can they make the best 4k sets but bring this out to pair with it. Please fix this with better firmware. I should have watched this review first https://youtu.be/TF9-6R2Po9g

3 out of 5Nice TV, but still disappointed
By Rick
Firstly, this is a fine TV. I'm not going to say much about the technical specs, they are out there for everyone to read. I will say that this 900E produces uniformly deep black levels, excellent contrast, has adjustable color saturation (so, if you care to, you can oversaturate the colors like they do in many showrooms) ... pretty much everything Sony promises in their advertising works. Really nice sound from the internal speakers, compared to what I am used to! However, it is not much of an upgrade from my old 55-inch HD TV, out here in the real world. I had read several advice columns on 4K TV's. One bit of advice I should have paid more attention to was that it doesn't make much sense to buy 4K in screen sizes smaller than 65-inches for most people. In my experience it seems to be true. Unless I sit really close to the screen while viewing 4K content, and I normally do not, the difference between my old HD set and this 4K set can be fairly subtle. The bottom line is I should have purchased the 65-inch set, if I stick with 4K at all. Most of the programming I watch actually looks the same or better on my old HD set. I watch a lot of classic movies and pre-HD commercial programming. I haven't found the upscaling from HD to 4K in this Sony to be very impressive, and it comes well-rated. For older non-HD content I feel the upscaling is completely ineffective for even maintaining the picture quality, forget about improving it. Perhaps the X1 Extreme chip in the 930E set would do a better job of upscaling, but I have no use for a 70-pound 55-inch TV. One other little quibble about the 900E. The IR sensor for the remore control is located at the bottom center of the TV. That is right where you might want to place a center channel speaker or a sound bar, which will block the sensor. The height of the provided stand is not adjustable, so you would need to raise the TV (perhaps using an after market stand) or relocate your speaker(s) or use an IR Blaster. For those doing a wall-mount this is not an issue. Three stars just because it isn't the upgrade I expected from HD, in this 55-inch screen size anyway.
BTW, dealing with Best Buy on this purchase was a great experience. I expect my return of this set will go equally well.

Upscaling is a very subtle feature and should taken lightly, as its hard to spot even from a TV enthusiast. Also

Can you buy a blu-ray player and not have it hooked up to the internet. Only play movies.
I bought a Blu-ray player and it would only work if hooked to the internet. I took it back to best buy in Bryant, AR and was told that you can no longer buy Blu-ray players without hooking them to the internet to get updates. I just want to play my movies. I had a blu-ray player that did that but it no longer works. Thank you for your help.
