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 have had this tv for over a year and enjoyed it. Was even thinking about getting another for bedroom but I’m sure glad I didn’t … Couple days ago I couldn’t open the Hulu app. I tried to update the app but it wouldn’t update. Then I deleted the app to try re-install and that didn’t work either. Looked online and found some tech type conversations about Hulu problem but that was over my head. Today I tried again to download the Hulu app. Found ‘Hulu for Android TV’ … this is a Google TV, and my television actually said to me: ‘HULU isn’t available for this TV’

    Sucks, doesn’t it?

    So far, so good. I had another brand of Smart TV that lasted only about 2 years before it died and could not be fixed so I am hoping this Sony will give better performance. As a pretty tech savvy over 70 year old woman I was able to set it up without any help. So far I have just used it to watch cable TV and my Britbox subscription which was pretty easy to add to the choices. It is nice to just be able to push buttons on the two remotes to switch between the two rather than have to find my phone and use that to change back and forth.

    My Sony was just about 17 years old, I thought the picture and sound was okay. The Salesman said I would be blown away with the new one – he was right. Beautiful picture and I don’t even need a sound bar! The Salesman was easy to work with, pointed out the features and I’m very happy with it. Thank you.
