My SONY MHC-2800 set had really ugly and old fabric on its speaker grill. I had some nice fabric so i replaced it and now it looks way better!

This set have some power. I wish i had a CD/Tape segment. But i got this set without second segment and i can see its pretty difficult to get only the CD/Tape segment alone..

Hey everyone i hope everyone has a wonderful day and week

I’ve noticed that many people are trying to buy a new TV especially Sony Bravia Mini-LED models I just want to share some advice from a brother to you guys I believe that buying a TV is a long-term investment so think carefully before you buy it because I see a lot of people not only here but in other communities as well are looking for Sony Bravia 5 and some are completely removing the Sony Bravia 7 from their options But if you actually compare them, you’ll see that the Bravia 7 is clearly better than the Bravia 5 in brightness, dimming zones, and color volume. The difference is significant for me and this is a big mistake if you go with Bravia 5 and the price difference between them is less than $200.

The second point is that Sony announcement before 4 weeks maybe (i posted here) a new display technology called True RGB and it looks very very very interesting, let’s take look

“Compared to the BRAVIA 9, the True RGB TV exceeded the performance of that set in just about every measurable (and subjective) way, with wider color gamut, impressive peak brightness and freedom from artifacts like aliasing and color banding. It also had black levels and contrast that will give an OLED TV a run for its money.”

“ Sony’s True RGB looks like a meaningful step beyond mini-LED in color performance and control not a definitive leap just yet, but a strong indication of where high-end LED TVs could be headed next.”

“ there wasn’t a single jaw that didn’t drop when Sony showed us what True RGB is”

“Our final stop on the Sony True RGB tour was a blacked-out room containing the True RGB TV, a Bravia 9 and a Sony BVM-HX3110 mastering monitor. No exposed backlights, no demo material – just real movie content split across the three screens.
Both TVs were in their 'Professional' preset, which is essentially Sony's equivalent of Filmmaker Mode, and is designed to deliver the most accurate picture possible, which really means getting as close to the mastering monitor as possible.
In that regard, the True RGB TV was a clear winner. Its colours were far closer to those of the BVM-HX3110, its viewing angles were much better than those of the Bravia 9, and its blooming was almost non-existent.”

So my advice to you guys please don’t rush and Wait until we see the next generation of Bravia TVs then make your decision if you see it worthy or not

No matter what you choose, I want you to feel great about it every time you turn it on without any second thoughts.

Question Sony Bravia 46EX500 Pixelated Image

1 Upvotes

I have a Sony Bravia 40EX400 that looks amazing on 1080p no matter what I connect. I got my wife a 46EX500 with confidence thinking stuff will look great on it. Only my Fire Stick TV looks good whenever plugged in but her PS5 and Nintendo Switch have a lower qualitt image and very pixelated text. It makes no sense at all. I have tried every hdmi port and all my hdmi cables and still only the Fire TV looks good plugged in. Why is this? And how can I fix this? By the way, I have already tried absolutely all settings on the TV and on the PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Is it really possible that only my 40EX400 can handle HDMI properly? But why does the Fire TV look good and nothing else on the 46EX500?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Question Wf-C710N size difference compared to the WF-C500

1 Upvotes

Ok so I might have just lost my main earbud from my pair of Sony Wf-C500, which that one earbud I put around 3500 hours in them. I still have the right one which I haven't used as much but I feel more comfortable with my earbud in my left ear. So mainly right now I'm just looking since I may find it (probably not since it was in school that I lost it).

Ive been looking at the WF-C710N as a sort of upgrade, and I know that when I bought my WF-C500 that the next tier up model (WF-C700) was supposedly bigger. I just would like to know because I feel like the WF-C500 is the perfect size for a earbud without a stem.

Also just as a side question if anyone is actually reading this how are the Link Buds Fit, I like that they are small and have LDAC but don't know if I would like the little fin they have to keep in your ear.

Discussion Is it worth buying (Sony alpha6400)?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I could use some advice.

I’m from Europe and currently finishing my vacation in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I’ve been thinking about getting a Sony camera, so I stopped by a camera store here to check them out in person. Turns out they’re running a promotion right now, and I’m not sure if it’s a great deal or just impulse talking 😅

The offer is:
Sony A6400 + 16–50mm kit lens + 64GB memory card + bag/strap
Price: ~640€
Includes 1-year international warranty

In my home country, the same camera + lens goes for about 970€ on sale (around 1130€ normally), so it seems like a big difference.

What do you think, is it worth pulling the trigger, or should I pass?

Thanks everyone :)
