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.

  1. Sony should be ashamed.

    I am very disappointed in Sony. This TV is not indicative of the Sony reputation or label. The TV speakers are terrible, the picture is substandard. The instructions leave a lot to be desired.
    But I guess they are like all the other companies these days. They are raising prices and drastically cutting service and quality. I am sick and tired of this new way of doing business.

    I bought the TV to use with an over-the-air TV digital antenna and with streaming services. Unfortunately, the included remote control doesn’t have a numeric keypad on it. Thus, for TV I have to press a Channel Guide button on the remote and cursor up/down to find a channel. Very inconvenient. Otherwise, I have no issues with the picture quality or streaming.

    The tv was a bust. I had to return it since it would not connect to my internet provider. It gave me easy and abundant OTA connections but it was useless in trying to connect any of my streaming services.
