Simply not good enough. I have a 4K model made in 2015 - not even four years old, that will not get this update. I bought the TV with a five year guarantee. Do Sony only think their TV's will last three years?

Did they "fix" the Kodi blocking?

So should we factory reset as with previous updates (as I have read)? Will calibration settings differ? Can someone post their current x900f settings? Please and thank you! :)

Not to the UK though it seems

Damn. No luck on the XBR-65X850F yet.

I could be mad, that I should now buy also a new TV every two years. But when I think about it, my TV is working fine. So no need for an update. Or are there any potential security threats out there for old Android TV versions?

It doesn't list any 2018 models. Why on Earth would they update 2016 and 2017 but not 2018 models ?

I have a KD-55XD7004 and dont know if its a 2015 or 2016 model. How do I find this out?

Resolves picture quality issues viewing Dolby Vision™ content on Netflix®

YES THIS IS ALL I WANTED

P.S why the fuck isn't the 900f on the list ?! Where is the update for Europe?! Didn't the 930e / 900e etc all already get the update? The list on the link is 17h old but only shows 2017 models I believe..

I so wish i.got.the 930e instead ;/ what wtf is Sony thing...why do we have to wait longer for the update when we.hqve newer models

I just want a fix for the damn Netflix issue

EDIT: so no Europe? Can European XF90 models use this upgrade? Or only US Canada and Latin America ?

EDIT 2: sooooo yeah. Check out the sony site and the US site has a new update listed for the x900f with a ton of improvements inc Netflix dobly"

But the UK site still has the old update listen for the XF9005. And from what I understand the UK site is the EU site. There is no other EU specific site.

This is so incredibly annoying..I use the Netflix app on the TV a lot and the dobly vision is just pure garbage

P.s. it would be nice if so.eone could test the update on the x900f/xf90 and how dobly has improved
