DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that BRAVIA is an acronym for “Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture”? BRAVIA TVs refer to Sony’s flat-panel LCD televisions. The Japanese brand released the first BRAVIA-branded TV in 2005 and since then, multiple BRAVIA TV series has been released. The BRAVIA brand is preceded by Sony WEGA. WEGA, which stands for Wuerttembergische Radio-Gesellschaft mbH, was a German electronics manufacturer that was acquired by Sony in 1975. According to data presented by Statista, Sony is one of the largest LCD TV manufacturers in terms of market share, following Samsung, LG Electronics, TCL, and Hisense. Sony’s TV sales are greatly affected by the continuous rise of Chinese brands and the manufacturing juggernaut that is Samsung. Despite its decline in overall market shares, LCD TVs are consistently the second largest category of consumer electronics manufactured by Sony in terms of unit sales.
The BRAVIA is notable for being the first to release a series of Android TVs in 2015. Sony was one of the three manufacturers that Google partnered with for the initial release of Android TVs, but Sony beat Sharp and Philips to the punch. Initially, Sony partnered with Google for the release of Google TV – but that venture failed and was discontinued in 2014.

- #1November 4, 2017"I am actually a subscriber to Hulu, so I am familiar with the high quality content that it has to offer. I love discovering great new television shows, and having access to exclusive programs makes Hulu a very desirable service. I have been particularly enamored with the program "Handmaid's Tale," and I am excited to learn more about other Hulu exclusive shows. I find television to be a great escape from everyday concerns and problems, so I think having this app has many advantages. The only downside to the app is that there is a monthly fee, but considering the quality of the programming offered I don't find that to be too great of a deterrent."

I was happy to see that there was an android version and I could download it on my Sony Bravia. It was working very well until recently. The latest update has made the app go a little crazy. My playlists have disappeared. Hopefully an update to fix this will come soon."

VLC Media Player - #3October 30, 2017"Free with ads, $5.99 ad free with no in-app purchases. The MX Player enables me to play some videos that are not otherwise supported on my phone. If you are trying to play some videos on your phone, but they don't work, you should give MX Player a shot. There are neat finger touch controls such as fast forward and rewind by swiping."
