Works OK.

We just bought a 65-inch Sony Bravia TV, one of the latest models, not cheap to put it mildly. Great picture, but we have struggling for 2 days with the simple task (or should be simple) to connect a garden variety laptop to the TV using its wifi interface so that the TV in effect acts as a computer monitor, but without the clutter of HDMI cables and all that. The menus and instructions for Sony products were apparently originally written in Klingon, then translated into Japanese and then to English. And it appears that unless your computer is a Sony Vaio, you have to perform various unnatural acts. Everything Sony seems to be proprietary. I think the TV is going back to the store (fortunately, we bought locally), to be replace by a Samsung or LG.
