1. Tone mapping (both Gradation Preferred and Brightness Preferred) can’t handle very bright highlights and fills them with with blue/grey colour instead. Example: the shine on the car at the beginning of Mad Max: Fury Road. Confirmed by several owners, me included.

2. Dolby Vision Dark has multiple bugs discovered and reported by Classy Tech.

3. There is a pink tint to low luminance colours. Visible in Ahsoka, Episode 1 between like 8:09 and 11:30.

4. Many owners have reported issues with audio delay, random restarts, choppy video, etc.

5. My set and many others (incl. Classy Tech’s, AVForums’ and Vincent’s) have faint dark streaks across the panels.

Do you even test things like these if they don’t fall in your fixed categories?

It was reported that Sony has asked for a delay in reviews until a new firmware is released in early November (which is probably why Vincent from HDTVtest still hasn’t posted his).

UPDATE: Vincent posted his review, confirming DV issues, low luminance issues, excessive audio delay, dark streaks across the panel, etc.
