    They are pretty good, have been around in Europe for a while now.
    Can't really go wrong with either LG, Panasonic or Sony when it comes to OLED.

    After weeks of research I’m considering buying the 75” Sony X900H. It’s a full array LED LCD 4K TV. The only downside I see with this TV is it doesn’t get bright enough foe HDR content and it doesn’t suppress reflections well.

    I also have a 4K Apple TV box that I’m using with my old TV right now. Does any one know if I buy of one these new smart TVs with preloaded Android systems, does the Apple TV become useless, or can they when together?

    No Apple TV 4K
    Interface and speed is great
    Also always correctly does Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision content

    It depends on the model you're buying, several Android TVs work with Apple TV, for example the Sony you mentioned and Samsung.

    I have this TV. Don’t know / use Apple TV but it does have built in Apple TV app. If you are using an external device, it should work.

    btw, I have it in a room with plenty of windows and reflection isn’t an issue for me. Personal judgement of course. It definitely reflective but not like a mirror. It looks more like a matte than a glass surface.

    For brightness, I have to dial that down for non-SDR usage. It’s too bright. The tv also has an ambient light sensor that adjust brightness automatically.

    For hdr, brightness is automatically set by content and so I don’t need to adjust and it does look fine to me. Just going by my eye test, hdr looks accurate with very little artifacts. I don’t see much of any blooming effect with closed caption. Blacks level looks good. Bright looks okay... not super impressive but very good.

    Android on this tv is very smooth and the tv user interface is top notch. Not bug free (hung up once or twice in the last month) but a simple power cycle fixes it.

    The Apple TV app is just for Apple shows and your Apple purchases.
    Most new premium TVs have Apple airplay so you stream with your Apple devices.
    Having the Apple TV hardware gives you the OS and speed / smoothness of the OS

    When you get tagged and the post says "Edit". :oops:

    Now I'll forever think about what it might have said originally.

    I've purchased the previous model for a family member and really liked it for colours and brightness, but the blacks were pretty bad.
    It seems this model is worse than its predecessor though and got some bad reviews (mainly due to dimming, worse HDR and bad motion handling, plus only 60hz).

    Can you get a TCL 6 or Sony X900h for similar money?

    That’s why I deleted the original post haha. I wasn’t thrilled with the reviews but seeing that mark down excited me.
