False Advertising on the W6 Series - DO NOT BUY

Anyone who wants to buy this TV specially for the smooth MotionFlow 200 options beware.

 

 

This TV does not support MotionFlow.

 

 

This is clearly false advertisement.

 

 

Am bumping this every single day until someone from Sony acknowledges why it has been falsely advertised.

So overall is this TV not worth buying? I am looking for a new TV for Gaming/Movies but mostly Gaming for the upcoming ps4 and out of all the reviews videos and comments i have seen this is the best gaming TV i have found at its size and price (personally not looking anything under 37inch or over 42inch and not spenting more than £550) but after reading all your comments about the False Advertising im left wondering is this Sony TV truly worth my money and going to give me a great gaming experience and if not could someone recommend a me a good 37 - 42inch TV for ps3/ps4 Gaming max price £550?

mckenna90 - Leaving the motionflow issues aside, it seems that a huge percentage think that this TV is great considering the pricepoint set.  If you are unsure,  have a look at the TV in a store or even at your nearest Sony Centre?

Does anyone know if this applies to the Sony KDL50W656 as well? Does it have a proper Motionflow setting/feature, or not?

Bump for SONY.

Here from Italy, just bought the W6 42" and quite disappointed.

WE know that the W6 had the Motionflow Setting and WE know that it is not comparable with the (useless) LED Motion, Sony.

Just bring it back! Thanks
