Great tips. Anyone else annoyed with all this extra bloat and Spyware on tvs nowadays?

0:52 For the main four apps, ex. Disney+, you don’t necessarily have to move it to the front cause they have shortcut buttons on the remote (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ and prime video for NA). Just move other apps like sports or broadcast networks like NBC or ABC for example.

I just got an 83, inch Sony A90J. This video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Thank you so much! 😎

This vid came at the right time, I just got my A80J

You can also reduce the animations to make the Google TV more responsive, by going to developer option and change animation scale to 0.5x for Window animation scale, transition animation scale and animator duration scale. Anyway, great video by Vincent!

Great video as always. Big fan! Just a thought, from all other android devices that I use (mobile phones for example), in developer mode, if you reduce the animations scales from 1x to 0.5x it gives a smoother and snappier experience. Hope it will be another bonus tip for you all.

This video came out at the right time. Several of these I was thinking about over the weekend. Especially rearranging the apps.

Great video Vincent! I've been unhappy with the sluggishness of my A90J after only a couple of months of owning it. Every time I turn it on it is slow right after booting up. Some of these little-known hacks I discovered on my own but most of these are new to me. I will definitely change my settings based on your video! My last OLED was an LG which had WebOS instead of Android and I liked it a lot. I never experienced any slow down on it and it was super quick.

Sony makes the best TVs, I swear

6:06 You can also press and hold the home button and select the screensaver option to enable it while using any of the inputs or apps.

Vincent, I followed your instructions but the option is not there for me to select the apps only mode. Maybe it's due to a different firmware version since you done this video. Not quite sure. There are some advertisements on the home screen for videos/movies that my son is actually afraid of. I want to remove it all together. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you so much Vincent! You’re a life saver! My tv now runs way more fluid after cancelling some background app options!

Thanks Vicent.....This was a great help

Hi Vincent thanks for another great video! I got a PS5 and I'm planning on getting a Sony X90J I would love to see a Picture Settings video for the Sony X90J with the PS5 like the other ones you have done with the Sony X90h and LG CX🙌🏻

Thank you for making this! I had done the privacy settings on my A80J, but the Action Menu tips and Play Store hack were awesome!!!
