Bravia 9 display model at the local Best Buy?

An associate at my local Best Buy says whenever they get the updated Bravia 9ii they will sell the display model - the 85 inch. It’s been running 12 hours a day on max brightness in vivid mode for 2 years.

What would be a reasonable price to buy it for given its condition? $2000 USD? I would have to buy it with the Best Buy extended warranty for peace of mind. I’ve been eyeing this for months.

Buying Bravia 8-ii 55" - should I get a Theater Bar 8 or something else?

Hi all - I'm going to purchase a Bravia 8-ii 55" for my apartment living room, and I'm thinking about adding in the Theater Bar 8 along with it.

I'm not a huge audiophile and realistically I'm watching youtube, playing PS5, and occasionally watching Netflix/HBO. I've got an apartment and so I'm not wanting to add a subwoofer, as I'm concerned it will disturb my neighbors - similarly I'm not planning to add surround speakers, as I want to keep it simple.

My goal is simply to have decent sound...

Does anyone here have the Theater Bar 8 and how is it with the Bravia 8-ii? Is it worth getting / would you recommend it? Does the center sync add anything? Would a different sound bar be better?

For reference in the past I had a Samsung TV that died after about 8 years, and it was paired with a Samsung HW-MS750 soundbar (which still works).

Thank you for your thoughts!

Bravia 9 - Settings and accessories

My 75” B9 is on its way and would like to get the most out of the TV when it arrives. It will be wall mounted in our bright living room and will mostly be used for streaming and occasionally sports. Any advice on settings and accessories (e.g specific soundbar, Apple TV, any specific HDMI cables, picture and sound settings)?

Thanks!

I keep having complete video and audio signal dropouts/black screen and then reconnects after a few seconds randomly. Sony TV is a 55” 2020 A8H and a Marantz Cinema 60.

I run a Sony blu-ray, Fire stick 4K max and a PS4 into the Marantz AVR into the eARC on the Sony TV.

I tried new HDMI cables and different HDMI and HDCP settings but still have these weird dropouts randomly… When I plug the HDMI sources straight into the TV there are no dropouts or issues. What could it be?

Fair price for a 77 Bravia 8 under 400 hours

I'm hoping to get some answers before a mod deletes it.

I have a 77 Bravia 8 and hoping to sell it next month. I see that its going for 2999 USD 77 inch size. Is 1700 to 1800 a fair price for this set with a 5 year warranty.

I just prefer LGs oleds over Sonys, this is the reason for selling.

A95L uses Game Mode when playing movies on YouTube

I bought a movie on YouTube and noticed it plays in Game Mode. The YouTube app is installed on the TV. I can't figure out how to switch it to Professional Mode like all my other non-DV content. There doesn't appear to be an option to switch out of Game Mode. Anyone have any pointers? Thanks in advance.
