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.

    We desperately needed an upgrade. Our old smart TV was the same size but definitely no longer smart. This Sony was very easy to hook up to our Doby sound bar. The picture is very clear and it’s been fun to watch our most-loved shows on it (like House) and discuss how much better the picture is. Overall, it has been great so far and worth the purchase.

  7. Connection issues and way too much software

    Awful.

    Non-stop connection issues during setup and operation. Can’t use the TV at all until it decides to connect. Every function requires sharing data with third parties and most privacy disclosure don’t even have a decline option and you can’t leave the screen without accepting or unplugging the TV.

  8. The good and the bad

  9. Doesn't meet the Sony brand standard

    I owned multiple Sony TVs at varying price points over the years, this is by far the lowest quality Sony product I’ve ever owned. I purchased the 2022 version of this model and that model had 120hz, this model is only 60hz and the difference is noticeable. I have also noticed that the 2025 model is absent Dolby Vision. So were seeing a downward trend in quality at Sony. I hope someone at Sony notices that customers are noticing this disturbing trend and hope they will act to save their reputation.

  10. Great TV
