now that we got confirmation that ofmd is free to be picked up, i think it's time we also direct our emailing/calling/social media efforts towards other streamers that would pick the show up instead of hbo since it seems they're not going to move forward with renewal (but don't stop bugging them. do this as well if you can!)
i'm heavily leaning towards apple tv for these two reasons:
they care about good shows with good stories and are willing to provide budget for them. their audience numbers are not always the most impressive or record breaking yet they still allow shows to tell their stories-- Foundation, Severance, For All Mankind to name a few
it's a service that is accessible both in the US and internationally. one of the biggest issues with hbo max was that a lot of international fans couldn't watch s2 of ofmd and had to wait for the show to stream on a local service and for some places ofmd never gets picked up
so here's what you can do to contact apple tv
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i had to talk to three separate support reps before i got transferred over to apple tv's technical service and this is what he told me-- use the feedback link for best results as they definitely will review them and take them into consideration: https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-tv-app/
right now it seems this is the best way for them to document what we want, i did ask for a phone number but the rep said that they'll offer numbers within the feedback form once the feedback has been submitted, so you have the option to call them to elaborate if you want!
here's a script you can use if you don't know what to say:
Hi! I'm planning on getting Apple TV because from the lineup of the shows on the service. I’ve noticed Apple TV values good, original storytelling and allow shows to finish their story without cancelling them, even ones that might be underperforming in terms of viewership. One of the biggest incentives that would make me subscribe immediately is if Apple TV picks up the show Our Flag Means Death, a critically acclaimed queer romantic comedy with a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes for their second season and incredible audience numbers. The show was unfortunately recently cancelled by HBO. I know Ted Lasso, a flagship show for Apple, recently ended, and I think the service would hugely benefit from another feel good, found family sort of comedy. Plus I would gladly subscribe to as would thousands of the Our Flag Means Death fanbase if we got the show on your service!
now let's get our show back!!! please reblog this post so more people can know about it 🥰

So you finished Bluey...
Now what?
Here's a list of shows to watched if you've finished or are interested in the Australian dog show! Some are more similar than others, but I feel that all the shows I list here embody at least one of the things that make Bluey so special.
Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom: Don't let the creator fool you: Although this show was made by the same people who brought us Peppa Pig, it has much more charm and worldbuilding that makes it a good watch for Bluey fans. While it’s artstyle and occasionally annoying side characters might drive some away, overall Ben and Holly is a great watch with moments that actually made me laugh out loud. The whole show is available on YouTube.
Slumberkins: This is an adorable puppet show based off a line of toys aimed at helping kids navigate social emotional learning. While it is much more moral-driven than Bluey, the lessons aren’t shoved down your throat and are instead presented in heartwarmingly funny stories with a song scattered in every episode. The show is available on Apple TV+.
Becca’s Bunch: it’s a crime that not many people have stumbled upon this watch! This unique show combines puppetry with 2d and centers around an ambitious little owl and her woodland friends. The series is available on Paramount Plus with clips on YouTube.
Bing Bunny: This show is cuteness overload! The main character is a small, three year old bunny whose caretaker is a small orange doll-like creature named Flop. Like three year olds are, Bing and his shenanigans can change from adorable to plain annoying in an instant, but when the show is good, it’s a cute, calming experience. Unfortunately, Bing was a victim of the great HBO Max purge and only clips are available in the US. However, if you are able to invest in a VPN then you can find every episode of the UK dub on YouTube.
Elinor Wonders Why: The other, more popular cute bunny show. Luckily, this show is more widely available. It airs on PBS and has full episodes updated weekly on the PBS Kids Video app.
Bear in the Big Blue House: My comfort show! Likeable characters, banger songs and great humor have this on one of my favorite current shows! Almost all episodes are on Disney Plus, but if you don’t have the service then you can catch many on the Internet Archive!
Other great shows that I’ve heard about but haven’t seen much of include Hilda, Puffin Rock, Sarah and Duck and Hey Duggee.
I hope this list was helpful for deciding your next hyperfixtation! But if you desperately need more content, then don’t fear! All episodes (even 3B) are available on the Archive and 3C will be out next year. Until then, Happy New Year and happy binging!

There has to be a better way to binge There’s a lot of big shared universes that should be easier to binge By Alex Cranz Jun 20, 2022
I’veI’ve been binge-watching TV shows and movies since the 90s. First, it was churning through my sister’s old VHS recordings of Doctor Who and X-Files, then there was collecting and watching whole series of anime piecemeal from places like Sam Goody and Suncoast. By the early 2000s, companies began releasing series by the season instead of by the episode (for actually affordable prices) and that made binge-watching shows a lot easier. Just popping to the library to pick up a season of The Sopranos was a heckuva lot easier than asking to borrow someone’s VHS recordings. Now, binge-watching a show is simpler than ever, but the biggest complaint is that people have to binge for fear of spoilers and wish they could savor a show distributed episodically.
I don’t care about that. Spoilers are rarely a barrier to enjoyment for me and I learned a long time ago how to space watching a really good show out to maximize the episodic thrills. No, my issue with the current binge model is it doesn’t account for shared universes and all the weird watching orders that can be required. Nor does it account for older shows which often aired in a different order from which they were produced, leading to weird story inconsistencies as characters get introduced long after they actually show up in shows. And it seems like it should be an easy problem to solve for.
As Netflix, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+, and whatever HBO Max and Discovery eventually become wage war with each other to be the top streaming service in the U.S. they are frantically focused on content. Which wasn’t how the streaming wars were supposed to be waged. The idea was that streaming would give us more choice, not only in content but in how we watched that content. Yet instead of new ways to engage with the shows we want to watch the streaming services are focused on acquiring new franchises or pumping millions into their established franchises. Concern for the actual experience seems to have taken a seat in the third row of the car.
This has led to weird situations like the lack of support for 4K and HDR in a lot of content across these streamers, franchises seeming to migrate from platform to platform with no fanfare, or HBO Max continuing to ship one of the buggiest apps around. Churn, where people are constantly subscribing to services and then dropping them when they’ve watched the content they’ve wanted to watch, seems to have become such an expected part of the business for streamers that there’s little emphasis on actually keeping people on the platforms for longer than the duration of the shows they wanted to watch.
But there are so many helpful little tweaks that streaming services have refused to use that I do sometimes wonder if any of the people running these platforms actually use them. This brings me back to how hard it is to binge older content. If you want to watch Star Trek: The Original Series you can either buy it from something like Apple TV or Amazon Prime or stream it on Paramount+. In both cases, you’ll be watching in air date order as opposed to production order or in-universe chronological order.
Watching something like Buffy: The Vampire Slayer or CW’s The Flash is even more difficult. Those shows often include big crossovers with their sibling shows and unless you pull up a guide somewhere to figure out the viewing order of those crossovers you’ll find yourself missing crucial parts of characters’ story arcs.
“[P]art of the promise that came with streaming was a “better than cable” experience that allowed for personalization and curation that creates a more intimate connection,” Julia Alexander, Director of Strategy at Parrot Analytics and former Verge reporter told me. “People watch TV series in different ways, chronological, release order, or thematic - but services don’t allow for this personalization, and it’s counter-intuitive to what makes streaming so great.”
This kind of personalization shouldn’t be a hassle. This is a very solvable problem for streaming companies because all it requires is custom playlists—a technology that been available for a very long time!
“Creating a more personal, intimate viewing experience increases satisfaction, and makes the inherent value of a platform more obvious, which can help increase retention,” Alexander said. “As companies vie for keeping customers' attention month after month, allowing for more personalized curation goes a long way - and with such little effort.”
Yet despite what should be a relatively low lift, the streamers haven’t actually done it. It feels very weird that you can’t choose to watch Star Trek: The Original Series in a fan-preferred order instead of the air date order that front-loads some of the series’ most macho and sexist episodes instead of the more cerebral ones that made the show so enduring. That order was selected nearly 60 years ago by a bunch of execs who were scared of the science fiction show and wanted to entice people with alien ladies in bikinis and gods who like to engage in fistfights.
Allowing for more personalized curation goes a long way
The Star Wars universe is another one that could benefit from playlists that allow you to watch content in the order set in the universe, rather than the order they were filmed. Are you supposed to watch Solo before or after The Mandalorian? Where does Obi-Wan Kenobi fall versus The Bad Batch or Rebels or the upcoming Ahsoka? Wouldn’t it be nicer if Disney+, instead of a Google search, could help you figure that out? Franchises like the gargantuan Marvel Cinematic Universe, the smaller Snyder-verse, and even Grey’s Anatomy, and 9-1-1 would benefit a lot from customizable playlists too.
Given some streamers, like Paramount+, already have playlists designed to mimic linear channels, playlists that queue up the shows in the order you prefer shouldn’t be difficult. But it would require streamers to stop trying to see how many prestige shows they can mine from established franchises and start thinking about what made streaming so enticing to begin with: choice.
🔗 👉 https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/20/23175918/there-has-to-be-a-better-way-to-binge
Is streaming just becoming cable again? Julia Alexander thinks so

Netflix domina mercado de streaming no Brasil com 27% de participação
Por Vinicius Torres Oliveira
Tumblr media
Prime Video e HBO Max completam o pódio A Netflix é a líder isolada no índice market share entre as plataformas de streaming em atividade no Brasil. De acordo com um levantamento da JustWatch, a plataforma obteve 27% da fatia do mercado de transmissões em vídeo durante o quarto trimestre de 2023 no país.
A marca está 9 pontos na frente da segunda colocada, o Prime Video, da Amazon, que assegurou 18% de participação de mercado. A HBO Max está na terceira posição, com 14%.
O ranking dos serviços de streaming mais usados no Brasil são:
1 – Netflix (27%) 2 – Prime Video (18%) 3 – HBO Max (14%) 4 – Disney+ (12%) 5 – Globoplay (10%) 6 – STAR+ (8%) 7 – Apple TV+ (6%) 8 – Outros (5%)
Para descobrir as porcentagens de participação de cada serviço de streaming, a JustWatch usa seu app para analisar o padrão de comportamento dos usuários brasileiros. Ele é atualizado diariamente para mais de 4,5 mil serviços de streaming.
O aplicativo mede o interesse das pessoas ao adicionarem conteúdos (filmes e séries) às suas watchlists para um streaming específico. E também quando usam filtros para encontrar produções disponíveis somente em determinadas plataformas.
A Neftlix também lidera com folga quanto o assunto é audiência no Brasil. Em 2023, a média de pontos da plataforma foi de 4,3 pontos ao longo do ano inteiro. Esse número pode parecer baixo, mas é maior do que todas as pontuações de todos os outros serviços concorrentes.

Explorando el Universo del Streaming: Mis Plataformas Favoritas para una Experiencia Inigualable
Tumblr media
¡Hola a todos! Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes una experiencia que realmente me emocionó. Resulta que he estado explorando diferentes opciones de plataformas de transmisión de contenido últimamente, y quiero hablarles sobre algunas de mis favoritas. Aquí encontrarás app para ver peliculas de netflix gratis
Netflix: Mi Compañero de Siempre En primer lugar, no puedo dejar de mencionar a Netflix. Es mi compañero de siempre, y la cantidad de opciones que ofrece es asombrosa. Desde series originales adictivas hasta películas de todo tipo, siempre encuentro algo interesante para ver.
Amazon Prime Video: Más que Compras en Línea Amazon Prime Video ha sido una sorpresa agradable. No solo obtengo envíos rápidos y beneficios de Amazon Prime, sino que también tengo acceso a un extenso catálogo de películas y series. ¡Es como tener dos beneficios en uno!
Disney+: Magia para Todas las Edades Como amante de las historias de Disney, Disney+ se ha convertido en mi fuente de magia. Desde clásicos animados hasta las últimas películas de Marvel y Star Wars, siempre hay algo para disfrutar en familia.
Hulu: Variedad en un Solo Lugar Hulu es mi elección cuando busco una amplia variedad de contenido. Desde programas de televisión actuales hasta clásicos, y la capacidad de ver episodios poco después de su emisión, me mantiene enganchado.
HBO Max: Calidad Cinematográfica Cuando se trata de calidad cinematográfica, HBO Max es imbatible. Las series originales como "Game of Thrones" y una biblioteca sólida de películas hacen que valga la pena la suscripción.
Apple TV+: Innovación en Contenido Original Apple TV+ ha sido una sorpresa agradable con su enfoque en el contenido original. Las series y películas exclusivas de Apple son innovadoras y aportan una perspectiva fresca a la pantalla.
Paramount+: Una Joya por Descubrir Paramount+ (anteriormente CBS All Access) es como una joya por descubrir. Ofrece una mezcla de programas de CBS, películas clásicas y contenido original que a menudo pasa desapercibido.
En resumen, el mundo de las plataformas de transmisión ofrece algo para todos los gustos. Ya sea que estén buscando acción, comedia, drama o incluso nostalgia, hay una plataforma que se adapta perfectamente a sus preferencias. ¡Espero que encuentren su próxima obsesión de transmisión tan emocionante como yo encontré la mía!

Sony A80K OLED TV Review, Design, Price and Release Date
Tumblr media
Sony A80K OLED TV Overview: The Sony A80K combines the remarkable contrast and rich color palette expected from OLEDs. In addition, it's enhanced with 4K 120Hz capabilities ideal for gaming and the unique Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology from Sony. This OLED TV delivers stellar performance without stretching your budget. Prices: €1,309 at OTTO DE (55-inch) €1,429 at Coolblue DE €1,999 at EURONICS DE (65-inch) Pros: Superior contrast with deep blacks and noteworthy brightness True-to-life colors straight out of the box in Cinema mode Comprehensive HDMI 2.1 features tailored for gamingCons: Slightly less brightness compared to leading OLED TVs Basic remote design missing backlight feature Absence of HDR10+ compatibility.
Sony A80K Review
The Sony Bravia XR A80K OLED is passionately engineered to redefine the boundaries of home entertainment. Remarkably, it excels in this pursuit, making it all the more surprising that its price tag isn't steeper. While the A80K isn't easy on the wallet, its value is undeniable. As one of Sony's premium OLED offerings, it's brimming with the brand's top-tier visual and auditory tech. Even though it might not outshine every competitor in all aspects, it undeniably ranks as one of the top TV purchases available. SONY BRAVIA XR A80K - SPECS - Price: $1,499.99 - Screen Size: 55-inch - Model Number: XR-55A80K - Resolution: 3,840 x 2,160 pixels - HDR Compatibility: HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG - Refresh Rate: 120Hz - Connectivity: - HDMI: 2 ports of HDMI 2.1, 2 ports of HDMI 2.0 - USB: 2 ports - Audio Output: 50W - Smart TV Platform: Google TV - Dimensions (without stand): 48.38 inches (width) x 28.13 inches (height) x 2.13 inches (depth) - Weight (without stand): 39.5 lbs. This TV merges the best of Sony's technology, delivering exceptional picture quality, sound, and smart features.
Sony A80K Design Review
The A80K flaunts Sony's elegant One Slate design, seamlessly merging aesthetics with an all-glass front panel, roughly half an inch deep. This cohesive look is undeniably eye-catching. Incorporating functionality, an inset at the back facilitates hassle-free connections, complemented by a snap-on cover to manage and hide cables. The TV comes with a versatile three-way stand that can be adjusted for various setups – whether you want it flush with the stand or elevated to accommodate a soundbar. In my setup, I utilized the latter, gaining a good three inches of clearance. If you possess one of those bulkier soundbars, this stand offers the flexibility you need. For those who prefer wall installations, Sony offers an optional bracket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-Y-HDuAAxs Sony's accompanying remote is succinct in its design – a departure from the larger, glow-in-the-dark versions from their past models. While its straightforward button configuration is user-friendly, the absence of a backlit keypad can be a slight inconvenience in low light settings. However, Sony earns kudos for the remote's textured surface, minimizing the risk of it slipping through fingers or vanishing in the couch gap. Design Rating: 4.5/5.
Sony A80K Features Overview
Equipped with Google TV, the A80K OLED allows smooth app navigation, complemented by the convenience of Google Assistant for voice-activated searches. This is made possible through the microphone incorporated into the Sony remote. Popular streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, and Apple TV are easily accessible, with dedicated buttons on the remote for quick access. In the realm of picture quality, the 2022 Sony OLED models are enhanced with the XR OLED Contrast Pro and Cognitive Processor XR technologies. These work in tandem to optimize brightness and deepen blacks dynamically, adapting to each scene. Furthermore, the broad color gamut panel, coupled with the XR Triluminos Pro and Cognitive Processor XR, ensures faithful color reproduction, covering the full DCI-P3 spectrum – the gold standard for digital cinema and Ultra HD Blu-ray content. Connectivity-wise, the A80K boasts four HDMI ports, of which two are HDMI 2.1 compliant. This means they support advanced features such as 4K at 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM. For US viewers, there's an added bonus: the A80K incorporates an ATSC 3.0 tuner. This advanced tuner facilitates access to free over-the-air digital TV broadcasts in the latest format, promising 4K visuals accompanied by Dolby Atmos audio. While ATSC 3.0 had a modest beginning, its adoption is on the rise, with predictions of it reaching three-quarters of the US market by the end of 2022. Feature Rating: 4.5/5.
Sony A80K Sound Quality Overview
The A80K OLED TVs are equipped with Sony's innovative Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology. By utilizing five actuators — three behind the screen and two on the sides — the screen itself is vibrated to produce encompassing sound, with two additional subwoofers augmenting bass levels. Additionally, features like Acoustic Audio Calibration adapt sound to the room's acoustics, Voice Zoom sharpens dialogue, and 3D surround upscaling enriches the auditory experience. While I often bypass a TV's native sound system in favor of external setups, I found the A80K's sound performance commendable. Dialogues were articulate and clear, even at higher volumes without any discernable distortion. The Dolby Atmos mode provided an immersive soundscape, with perceivable vertical and overhead sound dimensions. While an external Dolby Atmos soundbar might have fine-tuned the audio experience further, the A80K’s inherent sound system is impressive enough, especially for those not regularly indulging in action-packed cinema or those who prefer not to invest in an additional soundbar. Sound Quality Rating: 5/5.
Sony A80K Pricing and Availability Overview
Release Date: May 30, 2022 Pricing: - XR-55A80K: $2,000 (US) / £2,099 (UK) / AU$3,899 (Australia) - XR-65A80K: $2,300 (US) / £2,899 (UK) / AU$4,999 (Australia) - XR-77A80K: $3,300 (US) / £3,999 (UK) / AU$7,999 (Australia) Sony unveiled the A80K in the latter part of spring 2022. Positioned as the brand's mid-tier OLED model, the A80K's price point is notably more accessible compared to Sony's premium A95K QD-OLED lineup. In terms of competition, LG's C2 OLED stands out. The pricing dynamics between the Sony A80K and LG C2 vary by region. For instance, in the US, the 65-inch and 77-inch A80K models are priced slightly below their LG C2 counterparts, while the 55-inch variant leans towards a higher price compared to the LG C2 of the same size. Meanwhile, in the UK, Sony's A80K has a steeper price across all sizes when juxtaposed against the LG C2.
Sony A80K Picture Quality Overview
With its impressive 99.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space for 4K HDR, the A80K showcases a vibrant display. Its brightness capabilities are noteworthy for an OLED TV, boasting 785 nits in Vivid mode and a commendable 616 nits in Cinema mode. Though it doesn't match the brilliance of the Samsung QN95B mini-LED QLED or LG's flagship G2 OLED, its brightness suffices for most ambient settings. During my real-world testing with the Netflix documentary, "My Octopus Teacher," the display remained vivid, even with overhead lights. Despite lacking anti-glare features like Samsung's The Frame, reflections were minimal. The OLED panel ensures consistent visuals from varied angles. While the A80K misses the Filmmaker picture mode found in many premium TVs, its Cinema mode proves color accurate right out of the box. However, purists may need to adjust the default Motionflow settings. Key Specifications: - Screen Size: 55, 65, 75 inches - Resolution: 4K - Panel Type: OLED - HDR Support: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG - Audio: Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital, DTS - Smart TV Platform: Google TV - HDMI Ports: 4 The A80K's 120Hz refresh rate delivers proficient motion handling, though some artifacts were observed, which could be mitigated through Motionflow settings. Its prowess in upscaling HD content to 4K was evident, possibly due to enhancements in Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR for 2022. In a dimly lit setting, 4K Blu-ray titles like "Dune" and "The Batman" were spectacular, exhibiting true blacks and intricate details in dark scenes. Bright HDR elements, juxtaposed against these dark backgrounds, offered a striking, almost 3D appearance. The capability to measure 0 nits on a full-black window pattern underpins its exceptional black rendition and robust contrast, especially under dim lighting. Picture Quality Rating: 4.5/5.
Sony Bravia XR A80K TV Ports Overview
The power cable for the A80K connects on the right side of its rear panel. Conveniently, all other ports are situated on the left, directly facing sideways for easy access. The lineup includes: - Two USB ports (one at 500mA and the other at 900mA). - S/PDIF optical audio output. - Composite video and S-Center speaker port. - Ethernet port. - RS-232C and IR input jacks. - Coaxial cable input. - Four HDMI ports. Of these HDMI ports, two are based on the latest HDMI 2.1 specification, boasting a hefty bandwidth of 48Gbps and modern features such as VRR and ALLM. One of these HDMI 2.1 ports is also eARC compatible. However, the other two HDMI ports stick to the older HDMI 2.0 standard. Although many TVs still feature exclusively HDMI 2.0 ports, it's a tad underwhelming to see this on the A80K. Nonetheless, this might not be a major concern for the average user.
Sony Bravia XR A80K TV Review: Technical Insights
While the real-world viewing experience is crucial, we ensure a holistic review by conducting a comprehensive suite of technical tests. Our evaluation setup involves using an X-Rite i1 Pro spectrophotometer, a SpectraCal VideoForge Pro pattern generator, and the Calman calibration software by Portrait Displays. For a deeper dive into our testing methodology, refer to our TV testing guide. In these technical evaluations, the A80K held its own, even against robust competitors like the Samsung S95B and the almost iconic LG C2. Test MetricsSony A80KLG C2Samsung S95BSDR Brightness (10%, in nits)232228329Delta-E (lower is better)3.16691.70093.0184Rec. 709 Gamut Coverage108.82.980%HDR Brightness (10%, in nits)6307941050UHDA-P3 Gamut Coverage99.33.16.76%Rec. 2020 Gamut Coverage74.58.84.97% For SDR content, the A80K's brightness of 232 nits was comparable to the LG C2's 228 nits, though it trailed behind Samsung's robust 329 nits. LG C2 took the crown in terms of color precision, showcasing the best Delta-E value. The A80K exhibited a minor color oversaturation, while the others were nearly perfect. When it comes to HDR, the narrative remains consistent. In their calibrated modes, Samsung dominated, but Sony's brightness lagged somewhat. Nevertheless, Sony's gamut coverage for both UHDA-P3 and Rec. 2020 surpassed LG C2 and was only marginally behind Samsung. Given that the A80K, especially the 55-inch variant, is priced a tad lower, its performance metrics are commendable. Moreover, certain inconsistencies in the S95B's display meant that, to the naked eye, the A80K presented a superior visual experience. Weighing in the cost against the features, the A80K emerges as a polished contender, offering an impressive viewing experience both objectively and subjectively.
Sony Bravia XR A80K TV Gaming Review:
When it comes to the recent lineup of Sony TVs, input lag is a bit of a chink in the armor. Using the Leo Bodnar 4K Lag Tester on the A80K, we recorded an input lag of 16.2ms. While this isn't a deal-breaker (with scores under 20ms being acceptable), it doesn't quite match the sub-10ms performance of competitors like LG and Samsung, which we earmark as the gold standard for gaming. Sony Bravia XR A80K TV showcasing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla That being said, the A80K isn't lacking in gaming-centric features. A significant highlight is its HDMI 2.1 ports, enabling 4K gaming at a fluid 120Hz. This ensures a silky-smooth experience, even in high-intensity gaming sequences. This was particularly evident in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla — the game’s snowy landscapes shimmered with realistic brilliance, and the essential coastal raids in the gameplay were as smooth and exhilarating as one would expect. Furthermore, when paired with the PS5, the A80K steps up its game. Features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping tailor the PS5’s settings to maximize the TV's potential. The Auto Genre Picture Mode, reminiscent of ALLM, ensures optimal picture settings, enhancing the visual experience regardless of the content being played.
Sony A80K Value Assessment
Positioned between Sony's high-end A95K QD-OLED and A90K and the more accessible European A75K in their 2022 OLED lineup, the A80K is crafted for those balancing between premium performance and cost-effectiveness. For U.S. consumers, the 65-inch A80K, priced lower than its LG C2 counterpart while offering comparable visual prowess, stands as an attractive proposition. In the UK, while it may lean on the pricier side, the A80K compensates with superior audio capabilities than the LG C2. An alternative avenue for better value might be TVs with QLED technology. However, venturing into the economical side of QLED often demands compromises in performance. Summing up, the 65-inch A80K is a prime choice for those set on acquiring a 4K OLED TV. For those chasing maximum screen size within a budget, without sacrificing quality, QLED emerges as a more fitting option. Should I buy the Sony A80K? Whether or not you should buy the Sony A80K largely depends on your specific needs, preferences, and budget. Here are some factors to consider: Pros of the Sony A80K: - Outstanding Picture Quality: The A80K boasts excellent color accuracy, deep blacks, and detailed shadows, characteristic of OLED panels. - Sound: The Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology delivers immersive sound quality without needing external speakers. - Gaming: While it might not be the absolute best in terms of input lag, the inclusion of HDMI 2.1 ports allows for high-refresh-rate gaming, making it compatible with next-gen consoles. - Design: The slim and sleek design, coupled with the One Slate concept, makes it an aesthetically pleasing addition to any room. - Smart Features: Powered by Google TV, it offers a wide array of apps and streaming services. Cons of the Sony A80K: - Input Lag: Some competitors, especially those designed with gaming in mind, offer lower input lag. - HDMI 2.1 Ports: It has fewer HDMI 2.1 ports compared to some other modern TVs, which might be a consideration for those with multiple high-end gaming consoles or other devices. - Price: OLED TVs generally cost more than their LED or QLED counterparts, and while the A80K offers value for its price, there are cheaper options available, especially if you are willing to compromise on some features. Things to consider: - Viewing Environment: OLEDs are known for deep blacks and great contrast ratios, making them ideal for dimly lit or controlled lighting environments. If your room is very bright, you might want to consider other options or ensure you can control the lighting. - Burn-in Concerns: Like all OLED TVs, there's a risk (albeit minimal with proper use) of burn-in over time. This happens when static images are displayed for prolonged periods repeatedly. Verdict: If you're in the market for a high-quality OLED TV with excellent picture and sound, and you value Sony's design and user interface, the A80K is a strong choice. However, if gaming performance is your top priority or you're budget-conscious, you might want to compare it with other options like the LG C2 or certain QLED models. Always consider what features are most crucial for you and how they align with your budget. Conclusion While the Sony Bravia XR A80K is an impressive piece of tech, it isn't without its shortcomings. TVs like the Samsung S95B may offer slightly enhanced brightness and color vibrancy. Furthermore, both the Samsung S95B and the LG C2 boast additional HDMI 2.1 ports and superior gaming features, which could be pivotal for gaming enthusiasts. The A80K isn't even Sony's crown jewel – that honor goes to the pricier Sony A95K OLED. Also, it bears striking resemblance in features and performance to its predecessor, the Sony Bravia XR A80J. Yet, when contemplating a new TV purchase, the Sony Bravia XR A80K emerges as a comprehensive package that promises a delightful viewing experience each time it's powered on. Read the full article

How to Cancel the Netflix Subscription
Tumblr media
The growth curve of Netflix started to tear down over the last few years. Also, Netflix began charging for sharing accounts in 2023. If someone is not a member of your household, they must transfer their profile to the new paid account, or the company will charge $8 from you every month for additional members. While no streaming service needs users to share their passwords beyond their family members, a clampdown on password sharing can affect their decision to pursue their Netflix subscription.
The company designed an ad-supported tier that costs $7 monthly, cheaper than HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu. But, it only provides 720p resolution and poses a worrying example of cutting services when introducing commercials. Netflix’s premium, standard, and basic tiers are still at the same cost as the previous increase in Jan 2022.
Even with all of this, is it beneficial to subscribe to Netflix, or is it time to switch to Amazon Prime, Apple TV, or other platforms hopping around the web? If you wish to simplify the streaming services subscriptions, continue reading.
Steps to Cancel the Netflix Subscription from a Web Browser
To cancel the Netflix account, follow these steps in your desktop or mobile web browser. Using a desktop web browser is easy, but the same procedure applies to a smartphone version of the site. To jump to step five, move to the Netflix account cancellation confirmation screen.
Move to the Netflix website https://www.netflix.com/ and sign in to the account you wish to cancel.
Hit your Profile picture at the top right side of the screen.
Then, tap on the Account option to launch the Account details page.
Next, hit the Cancel Membership tab under Membership and Billing to launch the cancelation confirmation screen that shows the last date of the plan if you need to cancel.
After this, tap the Finish Cancelation button. This will launch a survey where you can choose your reason for the cancellation from the list of predefined products or give your feedback.
Finish the feedback survey and hit the Done tab. This will open the Account Details screen, detailing when you will lose access to the shows. 
Note: Users can’t process the cancellation through their desktop app, but they can check the account settings through the app. In the desktop app, hit the Three dots and move to Settings > Account details. This launches the Account Management screen. 
Once you cancel the Netflix account, if you want, you can restart your subscription and continue where you left off ( like your preferences, favorites, and where you paused on previously watched programs) if you resume within ten months of cancelation. To restart your plan, sign in to netflix.com, navigate to the Account Details page, and hit the Restart Membership tab on the left-hand side of the page.
Guide to Cancel a Netflix Subscription from the Google Play on a Smartphone
If you have registered an account on the Netflix mobile app utilizing any Android tablet, it must connect to the Google account. Only after this, you can cancel an account on your smartphone by walking through these instructions: 
First, you must launch the Google Play Store app on your device.
Then, hit the Profile picture with your initials at the top and choose the Payments and Subscriptions option.
Next, hit the Subscriptions tab.
After this, select the Netflix option and hit the Cancel Subscription tab.
Lastly, confirm the cancellation.
Steps to Cancel a Netflix Subscription from Google Play in a Browser
If you have registered a Netflix account via Google Play, the cancelation procedure should go through Google Play.
Move to the official Google Play website and sign in to your account.
Next, navigate and tap the Profile tab on the home screen.
Choose the Payments and Subscriptions option from the available menu.
After this, hit the Subscriptions tab to start the unsubscribe procedure.
How to Cancel a Netflix Subscription on an iPhone
If you have set up an account in the Netflix app for iOS devices, you can cancel the subscription using the iPhone or iPad in a few seconds by following these instructions:
Firstly, launch the Settings app.
Then, tap your initials at the top of the page.
Choose the Subscription option from the Apple ID menu.
Next, you hit Netflix > Cancel Subscription.
After this, confirm your cancellation.
Steps to Cancel the Netflix Subscription via iTunes on a PC
Users can also cancel their Netflix subscription utilizing iTunes.
Move to your iTunes app.
Next, hit the Account tab at the top navigation bar.
Then, choose the View My Account option from the available menu.
After this, scroll down to the Settings section.
Lastly, find Subscriptions and tap on the Manage tab to its right.  
Ways to Cancel a Netflix Subscription via the Mobile App
You don’t have to involve Apple or Google in the Netflix drama. You can do this via the Netflix app on your Android or Apple device.
Open the Netflix app and enter your account.
Hit the Profile tab at the top and choose the Account option. 
Then, scroll down the menu and tap the Cancel Membership tab.
After this, Netflix will ask you to confirm the cancelation and inform you when the service will terminate.

Other Significant Information
Now that you have informed Netflix about suspending your account, you likely will not lose access immediately. Although you canceled your subscription, you can still access the services until the end of the billing cycle. You can check the last billing cycle date by checking your billing information in the account.

REPORT THIS AD
Note: Netflix will cancel your account if you do not resubscribe in ten months. You will lose the account, watch history, watch list, and all that lets Netflix customize suggestions that match your preferences.
On desktop or mobile, choose the Account option from the profile menu.
Look under the payment information to find the next billing data.
Remember, users with a Netflix gift card balance can access their account if they have enough balance on their card.
Conclusion
After canceling the subscription, users can detox from the continuous barrage of media flung at them from every direction. If you wish to switch to a new service to binge, you will find lots of other great streaming services (most of which provide free trials). Also, ensure you obtain your fill of the top action shows on Netflix and check out the best Netflix games while you have some days of streaming left. If you have second thoughts on your decision, you can re-subscribe to Netflix anytime and choose where you left off. The company will email to tempt you back, sometimes with great deals. With new movies and series added routinely, like exclusive content you cannot get anywhere else, you might be back on board in a few months.
