I'm in the midst of setting up my new TV. It's obvs that posting about this will be a minefield for the "no context" thread so I'll just roll with it!
I went from having a small one to a large one; my old screen was 26" (a 720p Sony set from 2008) and the new one 43" (4K Sony Android 2020). I didn't want a huge one as my living room isn't that big; the new size is taking a bit of getting used to but I'm enjoying it.
The colour quality is excellent and a real step up from before. The older screen was weak at displaying darker colours - black shades were hard to distinguish - but the new set is marvellous, with great contrast and brightness.
It's so neat being able to use apps to watch things like the iPlayer, Netflix and Disney Plus. Before I could only view these on my tablet and I found that I was increasingly doing this rather than using my old set. Android seems to work well with menus and apps loading up swiftly.
The upscaling of standard definition is pretty good but the 4K screen does tend to highlight the drawbacks of the lower quality input. My standard definition Freeview recorder display looks pretty weak compared to higher res stuff. Watching Full HD (1080p) content is far more pleasing to the eye whilst 4K (Disney Plus) is superb.
I'm even pleased with the sound. I don't like to have loud sound levels and the volume is fine for me; I don't have plans to get a sound bar or anything.
The remote is nice, too, with a Bluetooth connection and a metal surface. Apparently you can use Google or Alexa for voice control but I dunno if I'll be doing that!
A few hours of use and I am really enjoying it so far; a twelve-year jump from the older one really has felt like a leap forward. It's lovely to see my Switch pop up Animal Crossing so vividly! I'm now gonna spend a few hours sorting out the connections and taking a look at the settings
