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.

  2. Disappointed with the picture

    Really wanted to love this TV. Originally bought a 75 in Samsung. Picture looked great but was just too big. Exchanged it for this 65 inch Sony. Just cannot get the colors right on this TV especially when watching sports. Whites have a green hue or just a dull look. Reds look really unnatural. If there a bright blue anywhere it looks almost fuzzy. If the view is of the field and not a close up view, the detail is fuzzy. Close up the detail looks fine. I’ve messed will every color setting combination and picture setting option and just cannot get it to look the way i think it should. I’ve had Tvs from all the brands and this is the only one where the color just looks off. The color in movies looks fine no complaints. I kept my old LG 50 inch in my living room so i can watch multiple sporting events at once and Im really disappointed when the picture looks better on my old LCD tv than it does on my brand new one.

    I’ve had this TV for about 5 months now and I have zero complaints. It’s the Sony equivalent of a QLED and it’s a major improvement over the 2016 LG LED I had before this. Don’t kid yourself… it’s not an OLED but it still has a nice, bright, clear picture right out of the box for a lot less money. It plays nice with my Apple TV and sounds great with the heavily discounted LG soundbar I bought at the same time.

    I. Bought a SONY tv at BB in October and was told to try around Black Friday to see if there were any reductions in the price I am paying. BB (in store) fobbed me off to a customer service number and told me they were ‘too. Fried’ bcs of Black Friday to help me in store. This is my first and last BB purchase.

    Easy out of the box set-up. Hung on wall, powered up, connected WiFi, auto update ran to upgrade soft code. Took about 25 minutes and set was ready to roll. Great picture decent sound. Nice UI, typical Sony, our 3rd in 12 years. Other 2 still going strong, this 65 in master bedroom. Put Sony 3K HTA wireless sound bar and SA SW3 Subwoofer. Definite upgrade to the onboard audio. Amazon, Netflix, Google TV, all streaming apps there. Good value for price point. Would recommend.
