This product has a great picture quality. The smart technology is cool. Yet the off-gassing from the electronic components cause physical symptoms that made the TV unsafe to use. Perhaps in time the off gassing chemicals will settle down. Sony representatives were unable to provide any information about this. I reasoned that the risk to my healthy, (muscle weakness and fatigue the day after use), outweighed the benefits of owning a great picture TV so I returned it. It's true that I maybe more sensitive that most people. I'm the canary in the coal mine. Many people might not notice the chemical off-gassing. Yet the effects to their health are very likely detrimental. I think Sony should go back to the drawing board and figure out how to produce and distribute a TV that causes no ill effects to anyone when used. Perhaps they can use new production techniques to outgas the components before they risk public health.
The reviews are stellar, except that one.
It's an extra grand, but HDMI isn't changing. I have 3D and tried it once.
Netflix is starting to do 4K and that would be cool if you have the bandwidth.
