HI there

Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) is now available for that model TV.  Android 7.0 (Nougat) is planned for later this year.

Cheers

Hi there

A quick way to tell which year the TV is is by the letter C at the end.  The W755C series TV is a 2015 model.

And if you manage to get one with lollipop, stay on lollipop unles DVB-T and using guide is your top priority.

There are some issues with Marshmallow to do with how the TV handles USB drives.  But to be frank, I found that Android 6.0 update more beneficial than some of the new bugs introduced.  For me the TV is more 'zippier' if that is a word.

The problem is, we all use our TVs differently, hence some people have more or less problems than others.  For me, I rarely have any issues.
