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.

Not So Fast
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.JeffS December 31, 2024Review source: BestbuyThe TV’s today are a race to the bottom. The audio is no good and requires additional sound bar or 5.2 system. Those solutions are no good for bedrooms though.
The first TV was defective. Where is the QC in these factories. So that was a waste of time.
The second one is proper and a newer model, as the first one did not have the Bluetooth. But the screen was fractured.
The picture quality for old and new shows is great as what you expect from Sony. However, if you call that a remote I will eat it. It sucks the big one in all cases. Ease of use and the size is a joke and was made for children not adults. I have no clue what is with these people in their cheapest hour as this is not an inexpensive TV compared to others.
The stands are worthless, so expect to purchase a wall mount as I would not set this on a flat surface.
Then Google TV is just that, as if you are using a set top box or cable box, there are extra steps to take to get there. That includes setting everything up for your audio and video through Google TV.
I have been designing and engineering consumer products for a long time and the remote included needs to be changed out by Sony. -
Great picture, issues with TV
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.Hoss4 December 31, 2024Review source: BestbuyOverall a good TV but had concerns about a few things…
Pros:
Great picture, very clear, sharp images with perfect colors.
Image has somewhat of a narrow viewing range, image less clear/bright when viewing at an angle.
Sound was ok, not great but probably average for this price range of TV.
Cons:
1) Biggest concern was occasionally TV would not turn on. Only way to resolve was to unplug and replug. Then the TV would work fine.
2) Trouble when using regular antenna TV input. Some stations would not come in correctly which was not an issue with prior TV. Also, picture on one channel froze (like a screenshot), when trying to change channel the sound/voices would change to other channels but image remained frozen on prior channel.
3) Lost all sound on one occasion using streaming. Only way to resolve was to close to the app and reopen.
4) Slow response times when navigating menus.I really wanted to keep this TV but was concerned about long term performance given the above issues so decided to return for a different TV.
