First Bravia please help

Hi,

 

Ive just paid abit more to change from the Samsung 55JU6000 to the Sony KD558005CBU. Reason being due to the lightbleed on the Samsung. 

 

I read alot of issues regarding Android on these 2015 tvs but decided to take the plunge as Ive a Sony soundbar and PS4 and generally Sony are regarded the best out of competitors. 

 

The softare update download was quick enough but the installaton was rather slow compared to the Samsung and seemed to take ages. 

 

Anyway I have a couple of issues.

 

First of all the Standard and Sport picture modes for watching football is hideous. Ive found the ' 'Picture - Vivid' is alot better. Im assuming its down to the picture settings so can someone help me get the best out of this TV for sport with the settings?

 

I was using the TVs built-in chromecast to watch BT Sport and its unwatchable with the judder. I assume this is down not being able to force it into 50hz mode like you can on the standalone chromecast which I have and tested on the tv and works fine. Can this be changed on the TV as its useless if you cant. 

 

Thanks,

Gerard

Hi there

 

In regards to picture display, alot of this is down to individual taste.  Have a read in this thread:

In regards to Googlecast, see :
