Currently, I'm not convinced there is a difference. There used to be, in that some Sony TVs would require an out-of-the-box firmware update in order to enable all features, but the Costco models didn't.
But I don't think that's true with the current generation.
- spywaregorilla 3y agoI feel like people get hung up on silly things. What does "enable all features" mean? Does it mean using the smart tv features? I feel like that's pretty reasonable. I say as someone who just bought a sony tv, declined all features, and just use an hdmi input from an actual computer. Very pleasant experience. Can't say I've ever seen a TV that doesn't actually allow you to do this.
- LeoPanthera 3y agoIt wasn't smart TV features, no. From memory, it was things like variable refresh rate support, for games consoles.

- spywaregorilla 3y agoSeems dubious. Got a model to look up?
