My added VRR (variable refresh rate) about a year later.

Monitors are significantly more expensive than TVs and have features that TVs don't require.

Just don't buy something from Sony with promised features. Took 14 months for Sony to delivery the VRR feature update to my Sony TV. I'm surprised it came at all.

Some TVs have firmware updates that improve or downright add important features. These updates only take place by connecting to the network.
