    I have had the 50โ€™โ€˜ model (50S525). It unfortunately does not have the option to remove 24p judder. However, it doesnโ€™t seem to have any issues displaying 4:4:4 when connected to a PC. I checked using the chroma test pattern supplied by RTINGS and did not observe any artifacts.

    Also perhaps worth mentioning is that an update was pushed to my TV without my awareness that blocked the changing of input names when the TV is not connected to the internet. To the best of my knowledge, that bizarre and artificial restriction was not present for the first few years of my owning the TV. They also rearranged the picture settings for the worse, with some settings being nested in sub-menus when they previously were all grouped together. I would just factory reset the TV and then never connect it to the internet, but I prefer to turn noise reduction off, and for some reason you can only do that with the Roku app.

    These headphones do indeed have excellent active and even passive noise isolation. However, after about a year or so of heavy use, the headphones without warning blasted my eardrum with the ear-splitting feedback screech. That sound is absolutely loud enough to cause harm to oneโ€™s hearing. I cannot recommend anyone buy and use headphones that have the potential to, without warning, inflict permanent hearing damage and even tinnitus.

    Moreover, after the catastrophic failure of the active noise cancellation system, I continued using the headphones wired and unpowered, and after some time they started falling apart in two places on the band, losing all their clamping force even after I duct-taped the failure points. The build quality of these headphones is disappointing considering their price. But by far their worst issue is the feedback problem. I recommend avoiding these and any other Sony-made noise-cancelling headphones.
