What?mmmm
What?mmmm
Been following this thread but lost track. Have the lip-sync and audio crackling problems been sorted yet?. And are there any other major issues still evident with general use?.
I have the Sony soundbar, have it set up in Bluetooth, own a Panasonic 820 and a PS4, Xbox and I hear all of it plus Netflix and Amazon from my fire cube, all is linked by Bluetooth and zero issues of lip sync or any issues. And thanks to the Cube when I tell Alexa to turn on my TV it automatically turn on the TV AND the soundbarI had similar issues linking my soundbar (Sony htxf9000) to Tv (Sony xd80) . In the end I bought a 4K HDMI splitter from amazon - put everything through the splitter (PS4, Apple TV, sky etc) - splitter to soundbar and then soundbar to Tv . This resolved sync issues . I know you said you don’t want to connect the PS4 via the soundbar but am assuming this may be due to limited connectivity options , which the HDMI splitter will resolve.
let me know your thoughts as I have just received the gx800 and waiting for it to be installed on the wall and need to get my wiring set up correct as will be putting all the wires through the wall !!!!!
Hi Clem - How does this TV handle sports and motion in terms of Dirty Screen Effect, Screen uniformity and motion?I went for my 800 as a replacement for a 10y old Sony HD TV, but have now consigned the Pannie to bedroom duty. I just can’t get on with it, and am now using an LG, which was my second choice. OLED burn in is still an issue, which is why I didn’t go that route. However, the price you paid (I paid £710 only a few months ago) is I think its price point. Although the TV does have a number of good points, for me there are just too many negatives — insufficient HDMI inputs, no NowTV app., no Freesat, and the fact that a the Freeview Play not working issue has still not been resolved, months after it was reported to Panasonic. OK, I was aware of some of its limitations but they only come home to roost after a while.
For your usage, you should be fine, but at the end of the day, do give it a thorough going over to make sure it does work for you. If it doesn’t, get it back to the retailer within the return window and pick something else.
