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.

  4. Don’t buy if you’re using an external speaker

    Every time you turn on the TV if you use an external speaker (that isn’t a Sony) the TV will turn on, but it takes the TV about 5 seconds to turn the external speaker on and then the TV will go black for another 5 seconds while it “switches to external speakers”.

    Online it says maybe updating the software will fix it but the TV also won’t let me connect to the Internet through the Wi-Fi or Ethernet. After resetting tv I was able to update the software and I didn’t solve a single issue.

    These issues may be fixable, but it’s ridiculous that out of the box it works this poorly for a Sony.

    What’s not being fixed is the build quality, the TV feels like it’s made out of really cheap plastic and the stands that come with the TV are extremely wobbly whereas my old Samsung had a metal back and was sturdy.

    The picture looks good, really vivid, and if the tv doesn’t break after a couple years like my old Samsungs and I am able to fix these software issues with not much trouble then I think the TV will have been worth it but for right now I wish I had purchased something else.

    Excellent TV. Picture has great clarity. The only complaint would be the lack of any written info concerning the remote control operations and connections. We had to turn to Ai apps to get the info needed.
