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.

  4. Nice picture, but….

    Really nice picture quality.
    However there seems to be an issue with integrating a sound bar. The tv switches between the external speaker and its internal speakers randomly, and on its own.
    Reading the Sony forums this appears to be a known issue, thus far unresolved.

  5. The picture quality and color.

    I’m really happy with my Sony BRAVIA LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV. The picture quality is sharp and colorful, and the Google TV interface makes it super easy to find and stream shows. I love that it supports Dolby Vision and Atmos, which makes movies look and sound great. Setup was quick, and the voice control with Google Assistant is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and perfect for everyday watching.

  6. Clear pictures. Sound is very good

    I put 4 stars because I can not figure out how to connect my old school Bose system to this TV. My Sony Bravia that I bought in 2009 had all the RCA audio and video jacks to connect anything I wanted. This new version of the Bravia while has an amazing picture…has ZERO jacks to connect external audio equipment. Does someone have the answer? I was impressed with the TV but now I hate it because I can not get my surround sound to connect.

  8. Sony TV Firmware Blocks All USA Apps (Asian TV Firmware)

    Warning: Amazon delivering non-USA compatible TVs to USA customers. I purchased this Sony Bravia from Amazon USA to my USA address and the firmware is only compatible with Asian markets and thus no USA apps like Hulu, Paramount etc will work on this TV. There is no small print or disclaimer to USA customers on this making this a bad USA TV choice.

    Very good picture and easy links to Verizon, Disney, roku and many more. Unbelievable number of options remote provides, BUT like most remotes this uses batteries and does not have a normal ;recharging stand. WHY? A stand is perfect, like for a phone, and no requirement to use it, but you will now normally know where it is!
    Picture on tv is sharp, and as soon as I can I will hook my ear buds up, so I can set volume as I want
