A place where you can find solutions and ask questions. I'm finding some strange results running www. While wired, it caps at around 60Mbps. Over wifi 5ghz , it caps at around Mbps, which is right for my internet speed. I tried different cables and got the same speeds. Gunny willos says:. November 15, at am. December 23, at pm. I do not see any responses where you have answered how to do this please help. Jaime says:. November 29, at pm.

Disney plus is on there and I have subscribed. I can see all the movies, etc, available to play, but when I try to actually play them my screen goes black. Suggestions other than to use my phone app all the time???? Excellent SDR peak brightness. The TV can't brighten larger areas as well as smaller areas but large areas are still very bright.
The TV is able to maintain this high brightness indefinitely which is good. Good all-round brightness. With 'Auto Local Dimming' and 'X-tended Dynamic Range' set to 'High' the XE is able to make small areas very bright, and maintain this high brightness over time without fading.
The overall gray uniformity of the XE is good. Luckily for sports fans there is not too much dirty screen effect, as the center of the display is pretty even. This viewing angle is bad, but is fairly typical for a TV with a VA panel.
When sitting to the side of the TV and viewing it on an angle, blacks will look gray and colors will look washed out, though the brightness will stay fairly constant.
The XE native black uniformity whitout local dimming is good and is similar to last year Sony XD. Some clouding can be seen, especially near the corners, but with a standard deviation of 1.
With local dimming turned on, the result is equally good with a value of 1. This is a good sign that the local dimming is working well on the Xe. With local dimming turn on and with regular content, the faint clouding visible on our picture should not be noticeable.
The TV is great at handling reflections. The semi-gloss finish helps to diffuse light on the screen which reduces the intensity. Even in a fairly bright room, reflections aren't an issue. Out of the box in the 'Custom' picture mode the calibration of the TV is excellent and could be used without any further adjustments.
The white balance is slightly too warm, but even then the white balance dE is only 2. The color accuracy is also good, with only the green tracking a bit worse than the other colors. Calibration of the XE is very easy and fast to do with the provided 2 and 10 points white balance calibration.
The white balance was quickly brought to a negligible 0. The color space dE was brought down a bit, but since there is no color space management on this TV, we could not bring it down further. In any case, with a dE of 1. Upscaling of low-quality content such as DVDs is good. Details are preserved, but lines appear jagged. Very little haloing can be seen. Find out more in our Additional Review Notes. Overall, deep colors will be well represented but the TV underperforms when reproducing greens.
The XE has decent color volume. It is able to show its wide color gamut at a range of brightness values, though it does struggle at the extreme ends of this range. Its color gamut for extremely bright colors is smaller than at moderate brightness, and its blue tinted black level also prevents it from accurately showing very dark deep color.
The performance of this TV is excellent when displaying our gradient test image. Small imperfections can be noticed in the dark green and blue, but these are almost negligible. The TV can display gradients without any banding normally seen on an 8-bit panel and should provide excellent color reproduction, especially in sky scenes for HDR movies.
It is the first time we've seen image retention on a VA TV. Note that image retention is not a deal breaker in any way, but more a temporary annoyance, since it is not permanent. The result has been updated, but note that there may be some variance on a unit-by-unit basis. We don't expect VA panels to experience permanent image retention, as the VA panel in our long-term test appears immune. The response time of the XE is outstanding and results in only a short trail following moving objects.
Overall, this TV shouldn't have any problems with fast-paced content. It flickers at a relatively high frequency of Hz so content appears quite smooth. This does help to clear up motion, but not as well as the 60Hz flicker available on other TVs. To do so, adjust the 'Motionflow' setting and increase the 'Smoothness' slider. The 'CineMotion' option changes the threshold for interpolation. Set it to 'High' for the most SOE. For 60 fps content motion is smooth.
Very good input lag overall. In game or graphics mode the input lag is always lower than 35 ms, which should be good enough for all but the most competitive gamers. Outside of game or graphics mode though the input lag is quite high, making this TV unsuitable for gaming with interpolation enabled. The input lag remains the same. It is much faster than the p 60 Hz input lag, likely due to the TV bypassing some processing when it detects such an unusual signal.
This TV supports all of the common input signals. Remarkably the TV also displayed a p Hz input without showing the vertical line artifacts seen on the XD. However when displaying this resolution while in game or graphics mode only crude upscaling was done on the p image, so the image looked almost as jagged as it would on a p TV.
Some people may prefer this look however because it retains most of the sharpness of the original image. Unfortunately in this mode 4k, HDR, 50 Hz and 24 Hz aren't possible, so this mode is only recommended when the higher refresh rate of Hz is more important to you than these other features. An example of the correct adapter can be found here. This TV does support a variable analog audio out, which means you can control the volume of wired headphones like the Beyerdynamic DT directly with your TV remote.
Poor frequency response. Low-end cutoff of Hz means that this TV won't produce much bass. Additionally, even though this TV doesn't get very loud, pumping and compression is produced as the volume is increased. Poor harmonic distortion performance. The overall amount of distortion at 70dB is very low, however, just like most of the other Sony TVs we've measured, there is a big spike in the overall harmonic distortion as volume is increased and the TV is put under heavier loads.
The Android TV interface isn't as easy to use as some other smart platforms. On this TV it also sometimes has lag and choppy animations. The remote's 'Action Menu' button helps to alleviate this by providing a quick menu with common functions and settings.
The main interface of the TV has no ads which is good. Apps themselves can still have ads, such as video ads in the YouTube app. There is an option in the TV's settings to opt out of personalized advertising for these ads.
By default the top row of the home screen is filled with suggested content, but the sources of suggested content can be disabled one by one in the settings until there is only two TV instructional videos left in the row. Out of the box most of the popular apps are preinstalled such as Netflix, Youtube and Amazon Video. Many more apps can be downloaded from the sizable Google Play Store. The remote is fairly large and has a dizzying array of buttons, like the remotes of the XD and XD.
The round arrow button pad is surrounded by a circle of other often used buttons, and serves as the centerpiece of the remote. There is a microphone in the remote for Voice Search, which works well. The remote score has been increased to reflect the new fuctionality. The Android TV remote app has fewer features than the apps of some other smart platforms, but can still be useful. It adds a few features like launching both apps and inputs, and has three different remote modes, one being a mouse cursor on the TV.
The score and data fields have been updated to reflect the Sony app. The remote app can now stream video files and can only directly launch apps. The data fields have been updated. The value has been corrected to "Both". There are three buttons on the back of the TV that allow changing the channel, volume and input. The center button also serves as the power button and can power off the TV is it is held down for a few seconds.
