Oh, Sony; let me count the ways...

All 698 of them...

I cannot believe people bought this thing and they can't even use it because it's not compatatible with any of Sony's TVs, 4K or otherwise.  But you MUST have a SONY TV, not just any 4K TV, in order to have even a shot at using this thing.  When I say "a shot", I mean if Sony gets their stuff together and follows through with delivering the service that inspired this gadget - 4K streaming?...not sure what exactly this thing does.....one reviewer on Amazon compared this to BETAMAX, a format Sony put out to compete with VHS that was actually better quality than DVD but because Sony put it out and let it fall randomly, i.e.: with very little advertising or promotion, VHS won the format war. 

Now THIS is an intriguing - to say the least - little gagdget.  It's $800.  Fug!  You can't even watch a full length movie without denting your forehead.  Standing up requires 10 minute breaks every half hour, and laying down you can cut that into two breaks equally disbursed over a two hour film.  What the frag?

Feel free to browse Amazon.com's extensive range of items made by Sony that cost a boatload of money and aren't even fully developed.
