No, would’ve already mentioned it if there was a suitable alternative to consider. 🙂

As for matte screen protector film.

I don’t find a place that sells such a film- for example, by running yard.
I only saw small final ready products for mobiles.

Maybe you can refer me, some lead ?

I’m trying to make sure this is possible before purchasing the Sony.
Otherwise, I can’t go on glossy, and I will be left with no options what to buy 🙁

[PCM2]

Amazon certainly sells them. Even so, they won’t be the easiest things to fit and you might need to get a larger film than the screen size and cut it down to size yourself.

[nogahorovitch]

Thank you, I will search Amazon for this film.

I’ve removed some questions regarding TV standby power consumption. Such discussion is far beyond the scope of this forum and not at all my area of expertise. What I do know is TVs sometimes have higher standby consumption initially but after say 20 minutes will switch to their ‘full standby’ state. Could’ve been measured incorrectly or with poor equipment as well or the 43″ version they looked at could have a firmware bug. Sony isn’t legally allowed to mislead in this regard, so if they state a fraction of a watt when the TV is in its full standby state then it will be correct or firmware updated to allow that.

[nogahorovitch]

Thank you.
I hope indeed it is a mistake, or some firmware bug in his 43″ version.

Mod edit: Thought I made this clear – no more discussion on TV power consumption here. Consider this the very last comment on this particular topic – different equipment and different methodologies can produce different figures.

[nogahorovitch]

Thanks 🙂

I apologize.
I misunderstood, and thought that no more specifically about standby mode, and not about power consumption in general.

Regarding Dell U4320Q.

Was there recently a testing reference to whether it is true DC dimming at low brightness level, or if then there is high frequency PWM ?

[PCM2]

To clarify something I said on the first page:

“Large panels like that are almost always glossy as they’re co-produced for TVs or produced on TV-focused production lines – where that’s pretty much the default screen surface of choice. And the few that do have a matte screen surface (for example the Dell P4317Q and Dell U4320Q) use PWM or aren’t known to definitely use DC dimming.”

The U4320Q is in the “aren’t known to definitely use DC dimming” camp as I’m not aware of any test performed on this model reliably confirming the dimming behaviour.

[nogahorovitch]

Is someone aware of any test performed on thee AOC U4308V or U4309V, that reliably confirming what is the dimming behaviour ?

[PCM2]

Please try to keep things in a single thread rather than creating short separate threads. This forum doesn’t have a large community that will give answers to any questions, let alone ones as ‘niche’ as this. So there’s no need to create separate threads for this!

I’m not aware of any specific tests for these or indeed any other models you may enquire about. If you look at the product page of the U4309V they’re even quite explicit: “AOC flicker-free technology uses a DC (Direct Current) backlight system”. And I can confirm from my considerable experience with AOC models more broadly, that when they say something is ‘flicker-free’ it usually means normal DC dimming is used at all brightness levels.

Edit: With respect, I’ve now been more than generous with my time and will not be addressing further questions from you on this topic. If others want to participate in this topic – and in particular wish to share their experiences with a suitable model they know to be flicker-free with DC dimming at all brightness ranges – then they are very welcome to do so.
