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.

    I am loyal to the Sony brand and have been for many years. However, this is the first Sony product that has disappointed me. The “smart” functions of the TV are like a glitchy android phone. The picture sometimes gets too washed out with excessive brightness. Both of these issues can be cleared by unplugging and replugging power. Simplify turning off and back on with the remote does not always work. This is unacceptable in my opinion. I am being generous to give it a 3 star rating.

  3. Sony consistantly misrepresnts expected delivery times!

    Sony’s ad said that this TV will be delivered within “Two Days.” Then, the email comes that says it will be delivered 9 days later. This is the second time Sony has done this to me. I canceled the order both times. So can you.

    Worst purchase and service I have ever received from Best Buy and geek squad. 65 inch Sony tv broke within days of installation outside. No one ever even watched it. Geek squad came back and said it was working when they left and maybe a bird hit it. Lost all my money. I never want to shop at Best Buy again after 20yrs.
