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.

    Brought this home, literally had it on the wall in less than 30 minutes. I had to move my other bracket lower.
    I turned it on and went through the set up process and a beautiful picture appeared.

  5. Doesn't support Miracast!!! Neither built-in or 3rd party adapters!

    We purchased 4 Sony displays to use in our school’s new addition. We had used Visio in the past, but we decided to go with Sony this time…big mistake. While the picture quality is fine, the built in functions are frustrating. We need these displays to allow for mirroring our notebook computers. We are a Windows shop so we use Miracast. Guess what doesn’t have Miracast built in? Not only that, but it won’t work with 3rd party Miracast adapters. Very frustrating that a name brand like Sony doesn’t support the most common PC casting format. Unfortunately, these are all already mounted and installed throughout the school. Sorry to have purchased Sony.

    Sony doesn’t allow for the Xfinity app to be installed so you have to do a work around. Picture quality is great. Sound quality is ok considering the speaker size.

    Dont connect the tv to wifi. Use external devices and it is perfect. Seeing some scenes in 4k is almost disturbing with how much emotion is conveyed

    The only Bravia tv I would not recommend. Cheaply made and the picture quality is not good. 60 hz panel is not enough
