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.

    For about six months now, I have had this TV. Since they were originally launched, I have bought flat screens from Samsung, LG, Vizio, and Insignia; this one is the very first Sony and it is the WORST of them all. Almost every day I must clear the cache; force stop or restart the TV to get the APPS functioning properly and this applies to all Apps. They will freeze; sometimes audio is playing but the video is blank or stuck; occasionally they will not load at all. We also constantly have subtitles on as a family member is hearing impaired. Frequently disappearing mid-show, the subtitles in the Apps require us to stop the program, turn off the closed caption, then turn them back on to make them visible. The TV will also occasionally not turn on with the remote; I have to unplug it, let it sit, and restart. I have deleted and reinstalled Apps. I have made sure everything is updated, but the issues persist.

    The TV that this Sony replaced was a Samsung that we had owned for at least five years, and if it had not been smashed by kids throwing a ball in the house, we would still have it. The Apps worked perfectly on the Samsung, so it is NOT our internet service. The fact the Sony brand has slipped so low in quality is very disappointing because I have a Sony soundbar and headsets, but no more will be purchased.
