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’ve only had a TV for about a month now. Bought it to replace a old and rather cheap Vizio. I wanted to have something that was much easier to use , featured a smart TV. This one has Google TV. It was very easy to set up. I was able to get a couple streaming services set up as well and it’s working as expected.

    I purchased this TV because I had a 40″ for about 10 years and really liked it but the picture started going out. So I purchased the Sony 50″ thinking I was upgrading. The TV itself is okay, I am not a Tecky and I think today’s entertainment comes with too much unnecessary info, however the reason I am not giving this TV a better rating is because I purchased an open box excellent condition from Best Buy (BB) and they sent me via UPS delivery an open box in trash condition. After carrying it up the stairs, unboxing it and setting it up I found out the horrible condition (see picture attached). After several irate calls to BB, I found out they have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I wound up having to purchase the TV again and returning the trash one (wait on my refund which took weeks). BB never provided any legitimate support and showed very little concern. TV is okay for the price, but BB has no quality control and very very poor customer service. Also in this day and time of profit over performance, I am sure they don’t care.

    We love most everything about the TV so far. The only real concern I’ve had is it did not want to connect to the Internet a couple times one day seems to be fine now hoping it was just an Internet issue, although the rest of the items in my house that connected to the Internet we’re having no issues

    Total waste of my time and money! I purchased in January 2025 and less than two months, this TV stopped working. Best Buy would not help me so I had to contact Sony directly. After satisfying Sony that the TV was not working, they agreed to ship me a new one. It’s been three weeks and I’m still waiting for the TV to arrive??
