Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Picture Quality: Users consistently praise the sharp 4K resolution, vibrant yet natural colors, and the ability of the X1 processor to upscale older, lower-resolution content with impressive clarity.
  • Strong Value for Money: Many reviewers highlight that this model provides the premium build quality and performance expected from the brand at a much more affordable price than high-end OLED models.
  • Intuitive Google TV Interface: The smart TV platform is frequently described as snappy and easy to navigate, offering seamless integration with popular streaming apps and effective voice control via Google Assistant.

Cons

  • Frequent Software Freezing: A recurring issue among users is the TV's tendency to freeze or become unresponsive, often requiring the unit to be physically unplugged and restarted to restore functionality.
  • Poor Remote Control Design: The included remote is widely criticized for being too small, lacking a numeric keypad for direct channel entry, and having no backlighting for visibility in dark rooms.
  • Unreliable Wi-Fi Connectivity: Multiple customers reported that the TV frequently drops its wireless connection or fails to find networks entirely, necessitating frequent network resets or hard reboots.

Customer Fit

  • Primary audience: People using this model as the main living room TV praise the large screen sizes (65–85"), theater-like feel, strong color, and clear dialogue for sports, movies, and everyday shows from across the room.
  • Secondary audience: Many buyers explicitly installed the 50–65" sizes in bedrooms and liked that it’s easy to mount, sounds good without a soundbar, and is quick to get streaming.
  • Ideal scenarios: Reviewers say PS5 gameplay “looks great” and input lag feels low for casual gaming, but competitive players wanting 120Hz/VRR or simultaneous 4K+HDR may be disappointed.

    Bought this as a replacement for my Samsung tv that died after only 4 days. Love the picture quality. Very easy to setup if using a Google account. Menus are easy and intuitive. Didn’t need to buy additional screws to mount it to my wall. I already had a wall mount in place. Wished it worked better with my older Arc soundbar. Also wished connection points were not in the middle back of the unit. Hard to swap out cables when mounted.

  3. Great service

    Excellent service! When my first two TVs didn’t work out they let me return them. They were cheerful and understanding and promptly sent technicians out with two new TVs and they picked up the other ones. We always get good service at Best Buy. Thank you.

    Great tv. I’ve been searching for a tv for my loft and tried several brands but always come back to Sony. Really like this 65 inch screen it works great in the space. I bought the 85 inch about a year and a half ago and really love it in my living. Very sharp picture. So BB had two 65 inch tv’s left at the store (2023 model) so it was a no brainer to get it because the price was less than the 55 inch model. Almost 1800 reviews at a 4.8 rating. If this model is still out there….GET IT!!!!$
