Sony Android TV… what’s it all about? Well, it’s a brand which we can comfortably say is fun to use and easy to understand. The 2015 Sony Android 4K LED appears to be one of the best smart hub TVs available right now. Simple to use for young and old alike, using the simple PlayStation style menu which a lot of youngsters will find familiar and also simple clear tabs to show which applications there are.

The Sony range from 43” all the way up to 75” with 3 HDMI and a range from 800hz all
the way to 1200hz also the X85 series upwards is 4K or also known as ULTRA HD so a blog template size1size for everyone and a spec for everyone. The whole arrangement on the TV is really easy to understand, from the main feature apps to the games.
The straightforward source guide helps you choose which source input to select (rather than pressing the source button and for it to disappear 2 seconds later – that’s just frustrating), the Sony makes this an easy process.

At our Haverhill store we currently have the 43” and 50” to demonstrate. To properly show the great scope this TV has, we have downloaded a few applications and games; our personal favourite is the popular racing game Asphalt 8.

Gamers will love this TV thanks to the quick and easy Bluetooth feature on these LED blog template size3panels; we can connect a Sony PlayStation 4 remote to it (or as Sony call it a Gamepad).
We now stay after work sometimes or actually get in to work early to have a go and see
who can get the fastest time! The graphics remind you of the old retro arcade games which make you a little nostalgic if, like me, you were born the other side of the 90`s!

The Sony TV is something the younger and older generations alike will love as the Gamepad can be used as a normal remote control and access the normal functions and use for applications.

The whole idea of Android TV is the Google Play Store which allows so much more versatility and variety. With the Sony the range is almost limitless thanks to the Google powered smart hub. Some of the range comes with a smart one flick remote which blog template size4allows you to talk to the TV to do basic commands like volume up or channel up so (us lazy) people don’t even have to press a button, just use our voice.

My partner and I always use Netflix and Amazon film with this Sony and it’s so incredibly simple to operate. It has both a dedicated button just for Netflix for the lazy people like me and a web browser which is very simple to use. Like most smart TV`s you can mirror your android device to it using Sony Cast on the TV. Having used this TV at home for a while, I can say that I feel very strongly about Sony this year; if I had to describe Sony in five words Experienced Fresh Bold Colour Gamer.

When you have a spare couple of minutes pop down to your nearest Hughes store; we will be more than happy to show you the features and benefits and why your next TV should be an Android TV.
