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.

    Like always Sony and Geek Squad Delivered. I followed their advice on replacement of my 65″ Sony Bravia, and their suggestion was this. Excellent advice.

    I upgraded to this Bravia from an Insignia. The Insignia was a good price but it had some issues with color banding and bloom. This Bravia has neither of those issues. Set up is easy if a bit lengthy. As an Android user, I don’t mind the Google OS but I opted out of everything that was optional. I figure they already have enough info about me. The sound is good for tv speakers but I’m using a soundbar. My only issue was that Prime and Netflix movies wouldn’t play one day. I unplugged the TV for about 10 minutes and that resolved the problem. I hope that doesn’t become a regular issue. Overall I am very happy with this tv.

    Great picture, flawless performance. Would give it a 5 if it would support “Spectrum TV”app. Had to purchase a Roku box to make it function like it should have out of the box.
