I have the exact same issue. It's been reported here too,

v6.5016 Jan 2021 annoying power consumption notification

One of the reasons I got the latest Sony model was for the new UI and the quicker access to these options. With this update it's now more tiresome to adjust the picture settings than my old Sony TV.

I think the power consumption message only needs to be displayed the first time the changes are made. Indeed I first thought there was bug to keep displaying the same message over and over again. Perhaps if we email Sony they'll fix it.

Me too ... is there any way to get rid of this annoying message? Presumably calling someone is impossible. I have to press OK to this power consumption message EVERY time I adjust anything!

Hey guys, it appears to be a new setting forced on Sony TVs due to some EU regulations. So far it doesn't seem to have an option to be disabled.

This has to be sorted out its driving me nuts. Honestly it shouldn't even be displayed on a UK TV. (Brexit anyone???) This "forced on you" Euro B.S is a perfect example of why we in the UK wanted Brexit in the first place. Sort it out Sony your customers in the UK are no longer governed by EU policy and rules. I demand the right to increase the power to my TV via its pic settings whenever I want to withought that B.S pop up appearing all the time

Same problem here after the last update.

IF this doesn't go away soon I am going to make it my life mission not to buy any Sony products as long as I live.

I own XH900 for a couple of months and after last update I'm going nuts because of this message. Hopefully this is a bug introduced with last update and not EU obligation, otherwise I'm going to throw this TV out of my car in front of EU parliament, honestly

Hey, although the UK is still part of Europe, I say contact Sony and deliver your feedback, they should listen and least find a workaround.

@HannahEd01

EU means European Union.

We may be part of Europe, but we are (thankfully) no longer part of the European Union.

Unfortunately, I have the same issue. I just got an 55XH90 a few days ago and this thing overshadows the TV's other positive capabilities. 😞

Dear Sony! Is there a way to disable this message or to downgrade the TV's software? This "feature" is really annoying! Please do something!

Sony has confirmed on their social accounts (Facebook and Twitter) that this isn't an issue, but many have replied complaining about it (giving negative feedback, asking for it to be removed or at least decreasing the frequency, etc..).

So maybe they'll do something in a future update since it seems like literally no one is fine with it from what I've seen over the last couple of days 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can you please share FB page? I'd like to add a complaint. We all should. Companies are sensitive when it comes to critics on FB.

I've got an old KDL-40HX723 which is on its last legs and was waiting for John Lewis to open so I can see the KE-48A9 OLED. As it looks like Sony have forced an EU backed update onto their non EU based UK TVs I might have to go for the LG CX (assuming they're not forcing the same update). It seems to be only Sony doing this at present but how mad to have to confirm the consumption message for EVERY picture setting!!!!

Re: this may increase power consumption more than the normal configuration

mate_com — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 18:58:25 GMT

I had regret buying this TV after this annoying prompt came up and I thought that I should have bougth an LG CX or even a BX. But I found the corresponding EU regulation: Ecodesign for electronic displays...

The section "2. Forced menu and set up menus" cleary states that user's confirmation must be requested in every power consumption related changes. So it seems every manufacturer must apply this into their products. So we are f.... 😞 This section of regulation is clear madness. We have to raise an objection against this regulation somehow.

Hate the latest update. I bought 2 Sony TVs (A9 & A8) for the picture and sound.. and the menu in-pic shortcuts so I didn’t annoy my wife when changing stuff about. I moved from Panasonic which was a big decision. So about a month after getting 2 great TVs and being v happy, this update is imposed on us all.

I hate the power consumption message on everything I generally want to do, I’m not a child and my power consumption is up to me. I’m paying the bill *****

BIG mistake and I’m now Looking at other brands

Hi guys, as far as I understand after investigating this matter, contacting Sony, reading the regulations, it's not only forced by the EU, and the UK is not part of the EU argument is invalid now. It's forced by the UK law.

Hi,
I have the same problem! I talked to them and I'm constantly lying that it solves the problem! SONY is fooling the world! In the store they have factory firmware and then when you get home it updates and you stay miserable !!! From the top came the most miserable! The population must be warned, they are making fun of us! NEVER BUY SONY TV !!! Post the reality about them everywhere, especially on trustpilot, facebook, instagram, twitter, etc! Help people not to have headaches and not to get nervous !!!

I have recorded conversations, I can prove how liar they are !!! A lady from Basingtoke, England I spoke to on the phone told me to send her the receipt. I was fooled and lied to !! another person from Basingtoke, England I spoke to, promised me that the next day I would have the solution in the email !!! No answer, I called again and they came with n reasons as in the other conversations !!! SONY IS NO LONGER WHAT IT WAS, IS OF ALL SHAME !!! IF YOU DON'T WANT A HEADACHE, AVOID, RUN FROM THEIR PRODUCTS !!!
