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 waited 2 years for my Sony Bravia and the first on lasted 12 months then black screen of death..Second on was delivered the day after Thanksgiving ruining my plans..It came with scratches which I called about immediately..It lasted 5weeks-a Sony Bravia 65” brand new and Google TV glitched out..Now I’m waiting on TV #3 in 14 months and still not satisfied..Delivery today on TV # 4..Hopefully Best Buy and Sony will deliver what I’ve paid 4 times for and waited to surprise myself..This TV when working properly is amazing,I even purchased a Google Chrome Streaming for my other TV and love it so I’m willing to try again

  9. Missing a leg – "excellent" condition

    Ordered this open box in “excellent” condition. The styrofoam was mostly intact, the cardboard box was a little beat up but taped up well. Everything inside the box (cable, remote control, etc.) was in its original packaging, unopened. Problem is that it was missing a leg! BestBuy won’t send a replacement leg, only do a refund or replacement in store or through a UPS store. This was too much of a hassle for us, so we just ordered replacement legs from eBay.

    The TV itself is great, sound quality seems pretty good by itself, but we have it running through a soundbar.

    5 stars for the TV itself, but 2 stars because BestBuy couldn’t be bothered to make sure all the parts were there.

    Replaced an older tv, so far so good with this one. It took some tweaking for colors to look “right” but it’s great now. Would recommend 2 people to lift and set up but it’s doable with 1.
