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.

    Just set this up yesterday. I was upgrading from an older 1080 TV. Huge upgrade, the picture is way nicer. I got this during black Friday/cyber Monday sale. This TV has voice control if you like that. I see myself having this for a long time. When I learn more about this tv I will try to update this review if I remember. Thank you Sony.

    We are very happy with our new TV! We’ve always been happy with Sony products! Their quality has always been top notch and reliable. The picture is vivid and clear. The colors are amazing. We were very pleased with the sale price. Delivery was quick and efficient: no damage. My only negative was I obviously misunderstood that delivery wouldn’t take it out of the box. My husband was very ill, and I’m a senior. I wanted to make sure that the TV wasn’t damaged. However, I would highly recommend this TV! We still have to learn all the functions of the “smart system”, but that should be fun (I hope)!

    Has frozen a few times already and had to be unplugged and plugged back in to get it to turn off and come back on. Apps are glitchy and need forced shut and reopening to work. Not good signs and similar to my last Bravia that only lasted 4 years before backlights burned out and tv rendered inoperable . I’m thinking this is the end of our buying Sony products.But hey while it’s working the picture is pretty good.
