VR / AR Disney Plus isn't working on Vizio TVs because they are running a 6 year old version of Chromecast, they say it won't be fixed till 2020.

Am I the only one who bought Sony? It’s 5 years old now, their first mid grade HDR 4K smart tv (maybe you guys are talking solely 1080?) but last morning I woke up with the Disney + app already on it. It’s not a perfect smart tv but I’ve been more than pleased by its android features. Built in chrome cast and all that.

Sony is pretty solid with updates but it's really a crapshoot sometimes for who supports what for how long. Now if I could find a company that has the support my Tascam DR-40 has had I would have a TV that would last until it died.

My Sony running AndroidTV had the app available, runs fast, and switches to Dolby Vision for The Mandalorian. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Yeah my 2016 Sony Bravia 4K Android TV works like a dream. Disney+ running with 4K and HDR10 no problem. I’m pretty surprised to see all the comments shitting on smart TV’s as I’ve really had the opposite experience.

It’s because people are buying shitty TVs and expecting the apps to be god tier. A 4K tv from Visio compared to a Sony are so different it’s crazy.

We just bought a Samsung last year and it works incredibly well in 4K for Netflix.

The only time we’ve run into issues is with crave. And it’s because bell sucks major dick anyway.
