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. Stunning Picture and Smart Features – Sony Bravia

    Verified purchase Incentivized

    So I picked up the Sony Bravia 3 65” from Best Buy after convincing myself that yes, I do need a TV bigger than most LA apartments—and wow, no regrets. This thing is gorgeous.

    Picture:
    The image quality? Chef’s kiss. Everything is super crisp, colors pop like crazy, and it handles dark scenes like a pro. I turned on a nature doc and suddenly felt like I needed to start recycling more. Even my dog got confused by how real the animals looked.

    Sound:
    Surprisingly solid sound for something this thin. I expected to have to buy a soundbar immediately, but I’m holding off for now. The speakers get loud without sounding like a tin can with a megaphone.

    Smart Stuff:
    Google TV is snappy and easy to use—plus, it has all the apps I actually care about. I was watching Netflix within 5 minutes of plugging it in. Also, being able to yell at the remote and have it find my shows? Peak laziness. I love it.

    Gaming:
    I hooked up my PS5 and it’s a dream. Smooth, no lag, and everything looks stupidly good. I actually started losing because I was too busy admiring the graphics. Worth it.

    Final Thoughts:
    This TV made my old one feel like a toaster. If you’re on the fence—jump off and go get it. It’s sleek, smart, and probably the best 65” you can get without selling an organ.

    Turned our living room into a theater. We went to Best Buy for a different 65″ TV. Expected an upsell but it was fine. The advice we got was spot on. This TV is great. We generally watch from 10′ away but have dinner at the back of the room (30′ away) and it’s great from both spots. All we used to watch was TV shows. Now we’re watching a lot of movies.

    The picture quality of this TV is beautiful.

    However, the Remote Control is much too small and is not easy to use.

    Great tv for the price point. Very fast, clear picture. Sound was ok but now very good after adding sound bar. Overall I’d recommend.
