Set-up was simple, yes you do need to go in and disable Samba if you don’t want it! but that’s pretty straightforward. My setup has a SkyQ and a Sony NT5 soundbar and all work brilliantly together using the ARC ports (so one remote controls everything). I don’t need the Android connection but I will use Netflix so it’s great it’s built in. The picture quality is very good on the HD channels, yet to test the 4K but I don’t expect to be disappointed. Some of the SD stuff looks a little naf if you are close to the screen but I personally don’t really notice it. All in all very pleased and the kids Love it! Review: Awful software and functionality for this price. - For this price I had naively thought this well respected brand would have been properly thought out in the software department. The main issue was with its recording function. With a decent external USB drive connected and formatted it soon became apparent that it was unable to record TV programmes while Sony’s ‘YouView ‘ gimmick was enabled. Turning YouView off allowed recording but disabled the ITV/Channel 4 and Channel 5 player apps (it also changed the channel guide/EPG appearance to a more bland version). I knew this only has one tuner so if recording you cannot watch a different Freeview channel at the same time but it was disappointing that you cannot watch an internet based stream (eg BBC iPlayer) while recording a Freeview programme as these obviously are totally different video sources. On a couple of occasions testing the programme recording timer it cut off the beginning of the recorded programme- this may be because unlike a dedicated PVR, it is unable to adjust to changes in broadcast timings. When you first set this up and it scans all the available Freeview channels there are inevitably loads of unwanted channels clogging up the EPG so I tried to customise this by creating my ‘Favourites’. It turned out that I could not get the EPG to default to this every time the TV was switched on and had to access this manually. I obviously updated the (Android based ) OS and spent a long time online looking at solutions in the Forums and it just seems that this is simply how the TV software is designed. Generally the TV was ok with a nice screen but the software was quite sluggish eg switching between different screens/TV/internet services but I had expected better for this price. Well done ‘District Electricals’ for arranging a straightforward return and refund. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Sony | | Connectivity technology | Bluetooth | | Display technology | LED | | Included components | Remote Control | | Resolution | 4K | | Supported Internet services | BBC iPlayer | ## Images ![Sony BRAVIA KD49XE8396 49" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YMGU8t0bL.jpg) ![Sony BRAVIA KD49XE8396 49" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31z+47j8g0L.jpg) ![Sony BRAVIA KD49XE8396 49" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31lmWRKrDpL.jpg) ![Sony BRAVIA KD49XE8396 49" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31S+FJ-MDnL.jpg) ![Sony BRAVIA KD49XE8396 49" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31knZubv8rL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great TV with great picture quality *by G***C on 31 March 2018* I spent a long time researching HDR TVs before purchasing this model and I am really pleased at the result.
