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.

  1. A Perfectly Fine TV

    I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a cinephile by any means, but I upgraded from a 30″ TV when I moved into a new apartment and as far a modest upgrade goes, it’s…fine, I guess? It’s essentially an entry-level 4K TV: it *technically* does HDR but not very well, and I wish it was a bit brighter (or at least had less glare when a light was shined in its general direction). For what it offers, it’s fine, if maybe a little expensive. Can’t comment on the sound quality, because I immediately hooked it up to my soundbar.

  4. Great Basic Bravia TV

    I recently moved and broke my Bravia X950g and needed a replacement TV.
    I purchased a sony due to the superior upscaling they have in their TVs, and am satisfied with my purchase.
    The TV has a better processor than what they put in the 2019 TVs, and the upscaling works well.
    The speakers are probably slightly better than that TV, though i have speakers with the TV.
    I wish the TV stand was adjustable, for my center channel; but I will eventually wall mount this TV instead.

  6. Great TV

    In my opinion this is an excellent TV. I am totally pro Sony. They have beautiful color and last. The sound isn’t the best. In my opinion, none of the new tv’s have great sound. I solved that issue by adding a Bluetooth sound bar and surround speakers. The setup was easy and the remote works nicely.

  7. High quality LED TV

    I just love my Sony TVs! I have had Sony LED TVs since about 2008 or so and just love them. Great quality picture, easy to set up with surround sound and wifi, and settings are complicated but not too difficult to learn. My first Sony TV lasted me over 10 years, and I’m hopeful that this one, plus the 65 inch Sony I have in my living room, last as long! Definitely recommend.

  8. Very Good TV/On-Site Geek Squad Experience

    Very good picture, sharpness and color using antenna and apps as signal sources. TV is fairly easy to use, though in my opinion, the controller needs a numerical key pad for direct channel selections. This Sony was purchased because of past experience with Sony TVs and this TV doesn’t disappoint.

    Delivery, installation and set up was done by the excellent and very capable Greenvile, NC Onsite, Delivery, Installation and Delivery Geek Squad Team led by Josh Hines. I recommend this team for this type of support for any major electronic and appliance item purchased from the Greenville, NC Best Buy.

    Love this TV.
    I have a 65 inch in my family room and liked it so much that I bought a 43 inch model for my kitchen
