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.

    I love the picture on this TV. You feel like you are in the movie with the actors. The picture is clear and the colors are vibrant. Everything you would expect from a Sony TV.

  2. Enjoy the best

    Although expense, the color and depth is outstanding. And yes there is a delay- but that appears to be on all the tv. I have a Samsung and a Sharp. The sound through my headphones is like being at the theater.

    Heavy and thick. Arrived damaged by janky delivery company. Bought a Samsung at similar cost. Much thinner and less bulky. Better remote. Return was lost as well. Last TV I buy from here.

  5. Surprisingly good

    I picked it up at clearance price this week at my local Costco as a bedroom TV. Compared to my Sony X90L, this TV delivers similar performance for regular SDR content. You just can’t beat Sony for upscaling and color accuracy. The IPS panel’s black levels are surprisingly good for regular TV shows and web streaming content. Compared to X90L, the only change I had to make was changing the ‘Reality Creation’ setting from auto to manual with mid-level settings. The X90L’s auto mode for Reality Creation is superior, thanks to the XR processor. Costco’s model also comes with the premium back-lit remote.

    Total garbage. Sony should be embarrassed. Quality pitiful. I’ve owned Sonys for over 40 years. This one is horrible.
