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.

    After 11 months of ownership, the TV is going bad and needs replacement parts. Basically, the screen turns off, and red lights start flashing under the TV, which indicates that one of the internal parts has started to go bad. The TV will still work after being unplugged for a bit. This is very disappointing and very frustrating to experience with a TV that is less than a year old.

    Great TV. I bought it open box at fair condition because it didn’t have remote or stand but it has worked great and so much faster than a Samsung. Will look for Sony in the future when considering tvs. Definitely worth the price.

    The TV is absolutely wonderful. I’m really wanting to tell everyone how amazing the delivery and setup service is. These 2 guys were truly exceptional. So kind to hook up and be sure we could get the remote connected. Extremely fantastic customer service.

    The product came damaged. When placing the return online it gave me a choice to return to store or via FEDEX. I returned to the store and the store manager refused to take it. I returned via FEDEX, but I am not sure why the store manager gave me the run around.

    Nice inexpensive 65” TV with great color and resolution. It replaced another TV from a well known name but this TV is so much better. We previously had a Sony and should have continued with them since they have a better picture and sound. Using it in our bedroom, and we don’t need a soundbar since it sounds pretty good.

  10. it's a sony!

    not a bad tv. the google tv homepage is simple and usually easy to navigate. not sure it’s worth $650 including tax, but it’s a sony so should last a while. picture is good, sound is so-so, but does the job. i’d recommend this.
