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.

    So far so good. Sony is quality, but this is a replacement from the first one I bought. My last one went crazy with lines and blackout spaces on the screen. Thank goodness I was still covered with warranty.

  7. Bravia Slow Boot Up

    Verified purchase

    Picture is great, sound is also. When turning on television it seems to have to boot up every time I turn it on. Then the connection to the sound bar is slow, not instantaneous. Otherwise I am pleased with the purchase. But I would like to get some info about these aforementioned issues.

    I love this TV, I bought it for my bedroom and it looks so beautiful compared to the other tvs I’ve had in there. The Google os is snappy and works great, the WiFi is fast and responsive.

  10. Open box tv

    The TV was listed as an open box. Excellent, but when I set it up there was four distinct scratches on the screen. I suppose from somebody set a box on the TV while in storage.

    It’s amazing that we can get such high quality for such an inexpensive price these days. This TV is fantastic. Amazing picture. Super easy setup. Has digital audio out to easily add a sound bar, but the speakers are already so good (compared to my last tv) that I’m not sure I even need the soundbar anymore. Overall – couldn’t be happier.
