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.

  7. Burning smell at 3weeks

    I’ve had this tv about 3 weeks and it started producing a burning rubber type smell coming from the back of the unit. Now I have to wait 3 business days for the repair center to even reach out to me, let alone fix it so I’ll probably be out for weeks. Best but won’t return either because it’s past the 14 days. I’m so disgusted because now I have no television and a toddler that *needs* to watch his favorite show before bed and no way to do this unless I buy a new tv. I also have birds that can literally die from any fumes it’s causing because their lungs are so sensitive. spent too much money for this problem and Sony wants to wait around and be slow. This issue shouldn’t have happened in the first place. The tv before this happened was amazing but it smells like it’s gonna blow up.

    We have not purchased a TV in a long time so we wanted to get the best advanced tech we could afford. This Sony was familiar to us and made it easy to set up and enjoy. And now with Streaming added it’s less complicated to find what we are looking for.
