Since this TV won't be coming to Canada. This is where I'm leaning, either an M series or a P one.

I did a full reset, and the backlight still wouldn't come on. I called Best Buy, and they said they'll just do an exchange. I should get a replacement set this weekend.
No Europe version
I thought you had a Sony 900e...?...I am sure the Sony picture is better but is it 1,000 bucks better...the 900E is currently on sale(200 bucks less CAD),making it 1800 before tax.
happens to me every one in a while, usually when I am messing with picture settings but occasionally when just viewing
Ok my TV just rebooted again, now the background is purple and the icons look different. WTF is going on with my TV? I checked and I haven't received an update in two days.
Edit: never mind, apparently it was a featured theme and I had featured themes enabled.
Yeah my TV first rebooted, sat at the boot up screen for a second, and then shut off. I was able to turn it on instantly but I have no idea what's happening with my TV.
Odd, I have had this TV on for hours every day and have yet to experience this.

i have gotten every update though even ones that have been recalled so I just assumed it was firmware issue

no. only hdr10. i believe only lg tvs support dolby vision on amazon video right now
Hmm, hopefully its just something that needs a firmware update and that Amazon doesnt hold it as an exclusive feature for Amazon Fire devices.

I got this TV delivered from Best Buy this week. It's all setup and I'm pretty happy with it. Watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 last night in 4K HDR through Vudu and that looked pretty amazing. I'm a big fan of Roku going way back so I feel right at home in the TV's interface.
The only trouble I'm having right now is I can't get ARC to work, and the 4K HDR output from my PC is not stable. It's possible the latter is a cable/receiver problem. My Sony STR-DH770 is supposed to support 4K HDR passthrough, but I've ordered a 15 ft premium HDMI cable to try bypassing it.
The ARC problem is weirder because it was working for a while. Initially I had the receiver output plugged into HDMI 1 on the set assuming that was the ARC port. When I realized it's actually HDMI that supports ARC I switched it over and was getting sound that way. At some point yesterday that stopped working and I had to plug in an optical cable to get sound out of the TV.
Oh, one other thing, in the Netflix app I can't get the playback stats to go away. Every fix I see online involves the * button but that just brings up the picture settings on this TV.

ARC was a huge mess for me. I never got it to work, gave up, and switched my setup to optical. ¯_(ツ
_/¯ Also, I had that same Netflix bug once. I did a full reboot and it went away. Still no idea what caused it.

Just got this TV set up and plugged into my system like 30 minutes ago. Finally got Dolby a vision out of my Apple TV working after a weird setup, now Im gonna get this harmony remote going, so hopefully I dont have to mess with HDMI CEC anymore
For the price this TV is great!

I had the same issue with ARC and like you I had to use optical.

Amazon likely would just need to update the Roku app. Netflix and vudu already support dv . So yeah seems fishy as Vizio tvs dont have it either.
I think the only show that supports it is Bosch though and other non-prime movies for purchase.
I wouldnt see the need for adding a $180 Apple TV. The Roku interface is one of this tvs main features. Unless of course you have a large iTunes Movie library instead of VUDU and you prefer the Apple TV interface.

If you own content off iTunes dont they allow you to download it. Or is it locked to play on Apple devices? (I.e could you download to your laptop and use plex)?
can someone revisit this with me?
on Xbox S, on Automatic settings from tv, YCC 4.2.2 is not selected as checked option, nor does it say it is necessary for 10bit HDR
should I leave it unselected or should I select 4.2.2. reading rtngs review it seems the tv will handle the signal appropriately. (Only HDR I watch through Xbox is games, not blu ray, not stream.)
i am not sure I can see a difference between leaving selected or unselected.
also... if I switch to PCRGB, it makes NO difference whatsoever in display, compared to standard (limited) RGB

So I got all the needed components for watch a movie in Dolby Vision... but it isn't outputting that new 'Starship Troopers' movie display in Dolby Vision. Anyone have any clue if something is up?
It showcases Dolby Vision via the Apple TV.

Just a guess but on the roku tv is the HDMI set to 2.0 on the input where the Apple 4K tv is connected ? I think it has to be switched from AUTO to 2.0 for it to enable HDR. Just a guess tho as I dont have th Apple tv

Got my replacement p605 yesterday thanks to Best Buy's awesome exchange policy, but it looks like I got unlucky again. The TV was working great for a while, but while watching a blu-ray, a thin, horizontal black line appeared across the left side of the screen (pics below). I'm going to have to return this TV too, but I'm not sure if I'll attempt to get a third one.
Press the * button after loading the Netflix app and before beginning a stream. The playback stats should then be hidden. Theres no on screen prompt, so youll have to start a stream to make sure it worked.

Tv's definitely not discontinued. I can add it to my cart on best buy. Not sure what's going on for you.

As an update, I've settled on optical for sound from the TV for apps, but I was surprised to see ARC working when I switched to my Raspberry Pi 3 plugged into one of the extra HDMI ports on the TV. Why that works but Netflix and other apps don't is a mystery.
I was also able to get a stable 4K HDR image from my Radeon RX480 to the TV by replacing the HDMI cable from the Receiver to the TV with a premium certified Monoprice cable.

Yeah its kinda nuts. ARC works for my Nintendo Switch, but not PS4 or Xbox One. ¯_(ツ
_/¯.I called them a few days ago and the guy told me they wouldn't have them for the foreseeable future in my area(Alpharetta GA). Couldn't even have it delivered to me or the store up here. So I do a store pickup in Tallahassee and decide I will just visit my fam on the way down this Saturday. I look online today and see I can schedule a store pickup in Alpharetta for Thur. Moral of the story, don't trust Best Buy people over the phone. Moved the store pickup to Alpharetta and should be ready on Thur.

I'm planning on purchasing this TV from Amazon around November or December. How well does it perform with the Pro?
Like a dream for me.

The single sign on feature in the Roku update will be pretty nice.
Definitely go with 4:2:2. You should receive more color information with 4:2:2.
I love the Pro on this TV.
ok will do thanks

So question about tv wmstand with mounts, if anyone knows.
I live in an apartment so I won't mount so I've been looking into Tv stand with mounts, but they are too big. I don't want something big but everything seems tp ne 50 inches plus in length.
I have seen some that are 40 or less but say up to 47". I want to upgrade to the 55". Which is about 40-50 pounds. Do any of you think it would hold up in a smaller stand/mount?

Id tried combing the threads, but I havent seen a reference to this. I just received my backordered P605 from
Best Buy and hooked it all up. 1080p and 4k SDR look great. HDR and Dolby Vision look dim and flat of color. I see many references to firmware version. I have 7.7.0 build 4154. I have all new amazon basics 4k Hdr10 latest standard bales that were delivered today.
What am I doing wrong. Not my first rodeo, but its been a long week.

I just purchased this stand mount. Don't have the tv yet, but hopefully she holds. The specs say it should be fine.

See that looks good but it is too big for my living room at 54".
I was more looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FSE7KFG/?tag=neogaf0e-20
For a 55". It only says up to 47" which I wonder if it matter or if weight is the real indicator. Would the mount also not fit a bigger tv?

I need something like this that would still showcase my fireplace.
Also the 4K spotlight app got updated and now has better sorting.

The two get along great. I've had zero issues related to my ps4.

What HDR content are you viewing? If it's on your ps4 mal sure you have the hdmi port set to 2.0. You also can't have your ps4 routing through the VR breakout box if you have playstation vr. Outside of that play around with the settings. I think using movie mode with HDR is a waste, personally.
