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.

    Bought this at the suggestion of the Best Buy salesman. We also purchased our previous tv through Best Buy. We started having problems with it and then lost picture. Although we are total tech we had to pay for the tech to come out. That fee was 99$ to tell us it could not be fixed. The tv was just a few months passed its two year warranty ! We also had to pay for delivery and install of the new tv. We’ll see if this tv lasts more than two years!

    This TV has a great picture and sound! The colors are very true and one might feel like they are “right there!”
    Although BEST BUY delivered and set up the television, it was a cinch because we stream everything so re-entering sign in info was unnecessary. Instead we just had to plug in our streaming device!

  8. Amazing TV. Amazing Customer Service

    First I was trying to buy another TV but a very good team member of BestBuy invited me to have a look at a better one with same budget whichI found it better in terms of colors and picture quality. It was my first visit to BestBuy and I was totally greeted with smiles and a perfect customer service and my deal was done in matter of minutes and so quick.
