i notice that Mustafa is stocking up the 55inch Bravia 7, but yet to confirm on the final selling price. no display set setup yet, but a pallet of roughly 8 sets is placed in Mustafa/Sony area to grab attention.
whatever models from the "L" year is undergoing price cuts to make way for new blood. those who are interested with Sony last year products might wanna go take a look!

Bro's with Sony "K Series" tv's, a new firmware update has been released for the American and Hong Kong markets on 28th May 2024...For SG market, this latest firmware was released one day later on 29th May 2024.
Since both my Set's are "Imported American Set's XR-85Z9K and XR-65A95K" i updated it already...
but there is a bug in this new firmware.
i have lost the XR-85Z9K "ARC Communication" with my Denon X3800H AVR..
now i have to Manually switch on the Denon X3800H to get Sound Output from the Tv... Damn...
for the XR-65A95K its connected to a Sony Soundbar HT-Z9F and "ARC" communicates excellently Via "Bravia Sync"
the new firmware number is v6.7532 released on 28th May 2024.
the link below is the download file.. It's for American Set's.

price cuts starts to apply on 2024 Bravia models in U.S. market...
...so i guess, would parallel importer SevaMall likely get their hands on "opened box" U.S. spec'ed sets roughly in October for November's "1111 sales event" across multiple sales platforms as well as the 2024 BlackFriday sales?
nope... it's really a SONY product.
just that i don't have much impression that SONY have much of such curved screen product widely sold and available.

2014... should memory serves me right, i should be entering into "bigger" display world with Panasonic 32XM5s, an urgent replacement when my PALLADINE 24incher dead without backlight. during that time, 65inch+curved screen product would be very expensive to draw attentions from potential buyers. hence... i wouldn't be surprised that this SONY 65S9000B wasn't so common then.

i have updated the Z9K and A95K to this latest update released on 27th June 2024, v6.7546
1) it can now communicate with my Denon X3800H AVR, so its back to a fully working eArc comm's.
2) both my "Remote control's" still have "No Luck" with trying to update it. Still fail's to update!! (RMF-TX900U) 2 firmware updates released to date but still no luck..
3) Apple Music APK Version 4.5.0 "Refuses to Run/Start up Anymore. so i went into this website called Apkmirror to download the apk. there was a "Beta version 4.80" which i tried first, but that didnt work. so i downloaded the "Stable version 4.7.2" and it loaded up without a hitch. This was all achieved by "Side Loading" the apk's by using my Android Handphone, with "Send Files To Tv" Apk.
you will need to install this "Send Files To Tv" Apk on your tv and your Android Handphone so it can send the Apple Music APK to the tv.
the Apple Music Apk will not "Show up" in the main home screen of the tv. you will need to go into "settings" and then go into Apps, to search for it and then click to "Open" the apk. (you will need to do this ALWAYS, as its a "Side loaded apk. it will not show up in the main homescreen...

As shown in the pictures above, i purchased 2 pieces of the "TP-LINK UE300" USB "A" Gigabit Ethernet Adapter's for both my Sony Tv's.
As highlighted by "Vincent Teoh" in his youtube channel, these adapters can work with year 2022 and later tv's. (He used a brand called "Cable Matter's")
for me, i bought this TP-Link UE300 model and its working excellent to.
All Sony Tv's "On-Board ethernet ports are all rated for 100Mbps only. (Crappy Shit!!)
now my tv's are hitting speed's never realized before!

Went to Sim Lim Square today to get 2 Pieces of TP-LINK UE330 USB A Gigabit Adapter with Three USB 3.0 Slots.
Hehehe!! Came back home and tested both on my Sony TV's.
Gladly reporting back that it works too!!!
I have another TCL TV with "Android OS" in my other room.
And that is also working great with it!!
Yahoo!!
Once again, as these Adapter's have "Chrome OS Support" stated on the box. So I jumped on the opportunity!!
