@AP-hn8wd 2 года назад

0:52 For the main four apps, ex. Disney+, you don’t necessarily have to move it to the front cause they have shortcut buttons on the remote (RU-vid, Netflix, Disney+ and prime video for NA). Just move other apps like sports or broadcast networks like NBC or ABC for example.

@@IrrelevantFart PS5 doesn't use hard drives. It uses solid state drives. Hard drives are mechanical and slow with moving parts that make noise.

Excellent video. Does anyone know how to enable ProMode on Sony's Android 10 TVs (GoogleTV)? The previous remote button combination does not seem to work any more. Sony has some docs, but have to get the TV into Pro Settings mode first.

@jasonwarren4023 2 года назад

Vincent, I followed your instructions but the option is not there for me to select the apps only mode. Maybe it's due to a different firmware version since you done this video. Not quite sure. There are some advertisements on the home screen for videos/movies that my son is actually afraid of. I want to remove it all together. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

@martinmijovski 2 года назад

Great video as always. Big fan! Just a thought, from all other android devices that I use (mobile phones for example), in developer mode, if you reduce the animations scales from 1x to 0.5x it gives a smoother and snappier experience. Hope it will be another bonus tip for you all.

@Suroky232 2 года назад

Hi there! Love your vids. I purchased the A90j and so happy with it. Wonderful quality. However I am stuck between using Google or Apple TV+. I have used your Apple TV settings - 4kSDR match all etc. i find the Apple TV picture slightly better but the Dolby vision settings on a90j no longer come up with the same movie source and Sony tv goes into custom mode using Apple TV. Can you tell me or perhaps create a video for people with Apple 4k tv and of any benefits over the inbuilt Google or not? Also Having problems matching the sound quality on Apple TV as Google sound better for some reason? Cheers

Great video Vincent! I've been unhappy with the sluggishness of my A90J after only a couple of months of owning it. Every time I turn it on it is slow right after booting up. Some of these little-known hacks I discovered on my own but most of these are new to me. I will definitely change my settings based on your video! My last OLED was an LG which had WebOS instead of Android and I liked it a lot. I never experienced any slow down on it and it was super quick.

Vince thank you! I did the steps here and did the whole select last input for when tv turns on and my tv now turns on my cable box everytime now. Everytime I turned on my tv my X90J kept asking me to “Turn on my cable box” and then I had to press “turn on” and even then most times it didn’t work and I’d have to power down my cable box and fire it back up before it would work. Now I’ve seen so many people have issues with EArc working on soundbars. I seen in your video that your tv was reading your EArc audio. So is this issue fixed now when you turn on your tv the soundbar turns on with it with no issues?

I've checked but can't see an option for "apps only" am I missing it or is it under a different option. Thank you sir, be safe 😊

@ownerr8441 2 года назад

My opinion is if you want to wait then wait on the QD OLED which is next generation of Tv since OLED or QLED. However it will be expensive and will be the first generation of that technology. So that means you might have to wait for about 3 years or so.

Would these tips work on a 2022 Sony X90K? And one more thing that you may know how to remedy: The Android version of the Sony we currently have worked well in the beginning (three weeks ago), but now it refuses to change cable channels with either the remote or yelling out they Google to the set itself. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this issue to no avail. It's frustrating! Sometimes I have consumer remorse that I should have gone with another brand TV. What say you to all this? Please inform. I sure would appreciate it. Thanks! ✌♐
