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.

    It was a good choice to choose this TV. I am happy with the purchase I made at Best Buy.

  3. DO NOT BUY. Worst purchase I’ve made.

    DO NOT BUY. Worst purchase I’ve made.

    Total garbage. From day one the picture quality was awful cloudy backlight, horrible color transitions. And now a whole row of pixels is dead.

    The TV was barely used, maybe turned on 100 times. Just hangs on the wall, never touched, no dust, nothing. And of course, the ridiculous 1-year warranty is useless now.

    Sony support? Completely useless. No help, no responsibility.
    For the price, this is an absolute scam. Stay far away from this model and honestly, from Sony. Never again.

    We replaced an older Sony Bravia (18yrs) & I think that one had a better picture. Save your $ money & purchase the Samsung.

  5. Sony provide tools for safe TV installation!

    This TV comes with adapters to mount on the wall. Sony should provide the wide length flathead screwdriver with the TV to allow for proper installation. I had to purchase an extra wide flathead to install. So, the TV is sitting on my floor for days. Not happy with the TV.

    Tv disconnects from surround sound every time I turn on. So I have to unplug and plug surround sound back up for it to connect again. I often also have to unplug tv because when trying to play a movie or something picture and sound delays. It’s irritating having to do this every time. I watch tv.
