Sony 55x8000G Android TV Resolution questions...

by KarmaWorkz

Hi guys just bought the TV and thank god for this subreddit because I am but stuck.
So even though I have a decent speed internet I have low data cap. Which makes it difficult to stream Netflix on decent quality. But on an article in the interwebs it says you can manually set your resolution to 1080p so you dont stream on 4k since Netflix does not give you the choice.

And I for honestly can not find the resolution settings anywhere, there is a resolution setting in Picture>Clarity>Resolution, but it is a slidebar going from 0 to 100. Am I missing something can you help me please? Many thanks in advance!

Normally you have to pay extra for Netflix 4K. So save yourself a few bucks and pay for normal HD.

I don't know if this is available in all regions, but check if your Netflix account has data usage settings here: https://www.netflix.com/HdToggle

Can't help you with the resolution but at least try these optimized settings for top picture once you find the solution.

I think with Sony tvs, you'll have to enter the settings for each "source" (tv, dvd, gaming, streaming, casting).

Picture Mode: Custom

Contrast: 87

Black Level: 51

Gamma: -1

Color: 52

Hue: R1

Sharpness: 40

Color Temperature: Expert1

Brightness: 25

Cinemotion: Auto

HDR Mode: Auto

HDMI Video Range: Low

Color Space: Auto.

All other settings not listed should be set to "off" or zero "0."

Any individual R,G, or B color subcontrols, if present, should remain at their default settings.

If you login to Netflix on a browser rather than an app, you can adjust the Netflix video settings.
