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.

    Our tv stopped working unexpectedly, so we were quickly in the market and not looking to spend an excessive amount. This fit the bill. We had to tinker with the brightness and black level settings a bit, as there was some flashing, but overall this tv provides decent quality for the cost.

    Excellent TV, but the remote, at times, lags for a second or two, and then the TV RESPONDS to the signal. The picture is very clear and bright. The setup was very easy and intuitive. All in all a very good quality TV.

    I’ve always been a fan of Sony products. Nearly all of the devices in my home are Sony made. This is my first LARGE television and I’m still trying to get used to watching people who are taller than me. I’ve had this tv nearly a week and no regrets going from a 46 inch to an 85 inch. I’ve been trying to figure out the settings for this unit but it’s rather difficult to find the manual—even online. The picture of this tv is really good. Other features are too many to mention here. This is a good buy.

    This is my first Sony TV and I love it so far. Would’ve gone with the OLED but maybe next time for sure.
    What’s amazing is how fast it works when I turn on my PS5 or XBSX. Graphics look way more smoother and plays better at 60fps.

    Bestbuy, you will hear from me again for the OLED lol.
