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.

    My in-laws needed a new TV for a reasonable price, and this fits the bill hands-down.
    Picture is vibrant and colorful. Setup takes a bit long, it more than likely will do a firmware update, so hopefully you are not in a rush. It is pretty straightforward though and it has easy to follow-along steps. Picture brightness can easily be adjusted with the built-in presets.
    To take advantage of all the Smart-TV functions, you’ll need a google account or a gmail account. It integrates you youtube history as an added easy-access benefit too.

    I bought four TVs before settling on this TV. I first got a LG oled which I didn’t like. The motion on it gave me a headache. Then I got a Samsung QLED and Neo QLED. I couldn’t get the picture to look right for movies on both TVs and the Neo QLED was way bright. Watched a movie on the Sony Bravia 3 at the demo room at Best Buy while in professional picture mode and decided on this TV. Tested a few movies at home and they all looked really good in professional mode. Sports look great also.

    The downside was I had to tweak a few settings to get the TV to work right especially when turning off the TV it would want to restart . Upon buying the TV I had to download the firmware which took about an hour before I could even start using the TV. Also there is no app as far as I know that works with the TV. And there were a few other settings that I had to tweak.

  6. Do not buy unless you enjoy restarting your tv every time you use it

    This tv is really really not worth your money. I have to restart it almost every time I try to use it and it fully will not let me log in to some services that it technically supports (for example: every single time I try to log on to HBO it lets me log on and then when I try to play something it prompts me to log on again). Really truly trash, do not recommend unless you are much more patient than I (and also don’t care about watching anything on HBO).

    Have been looking for a Bravia for a while and finally settled on this. Bravia 3, 65”. The interface is really good . Easy set up. Been just a few days and I’m happy with picture and sound quality. Have so many features that I have started exploring one by one. But so far all good. No complaints. Finally Best Buy offered the good deal and opted for delivery. The product was delivered on time and intact.

    It’s a great TV no issues and the sound is fabulous. I have been happy with it and fits my stand perfectly. The remote is nice and more better then the Amazon TV remote. With the Amazon remote you have to hold down the home button and wait for the input selection to come up. With the Sony remote it’s just a simple click and there’s the input selection. The quality is nice with no problem compared to Samsung because with Samsung the screen quality is garbage because I had a Samsung back in 2020 and it had the green screen problem.
