So far everything has worked very well. Sound is good to great (no sound bar level, but great for modern TV’s), video is great, and the setup was super easy. Had on issue with our Fire Stick causing some green flashes coming across the screen. Swapped to another HDMI port and the issue went away. The TV also has built in Amazon Prime button (as well as one for YouTube, netflix and one other, and many other apps in the app button option). Another plus for me and my wife are the placement of the “feet” which are not as far apart as most other TV’s.

Excellent and light weight sharp picture better than My plasma or any other TV I have I’m really thrilled with this product if I had to do it all over again I would 10 times and the price was fantastic as well as the service

I went back to Sony products after a long time, really long. Only reason to stay away was the pricing! But then this TV narrows that gap, really. It’s at a price point that’ll make you think twice when you’re browsing or trying to make your mind up. Anyways, before this TV I had a TCL 49″ Roku and it performed great until it started the LED gimmicks, discoloration, smudging, etc. And then I hit this guy. Amazed at the brilliance of it. I’m loving the Dolby Vision!! You really have to watch all those Disney+ shows again and see what you’ve been missing!! The picture is crisp, bright, blacks are real black (no grays). Google TV OS is very very good. Love the suggestions and ease of use. The remote is super easy and because it’s hooked to the TV via Bluetooth,it’s a charm to operate. No need to point at the TV!! Also, it’s paired with my Xfinity Flex, and Bose Soundtouch 300, so just one to control all.
The voice guided remote operation is very good. You don’t need to train it, it works right out of the box.
All in all, worth the money and at this price, it’s a steal for Sony!! Great product.
One things though: This is not wide screen as TCL or Vizio.
Buyer –
Originally bought another brand and after the despicable quality of that TV (hummed and buzzed from back panel) I decided to go with what I thought would be a safe bet with Sony. Wow I was wrong. The tv has 3 dead pixels at the top and 2 more at the bottom. The 3 at the top are in a line while the bottom 2 are black dots. I paid $700 for this TV I expect it to not have these flaws. Sony considers it normal. It what sense is this normal? It’s a clear detective and an excuse for Sony to produce low quality products at inflated prices to maximize their profit. Look into their website it states dead pixels are normal yet I’ve bought plenty of tvs and never once in my life got one with a dead pixel let alone 5 and be told it’s normal. I returned it and will not be buying a TV again as it seems all models have gone way down in quality. I don’t think quality even exists anymore its absolutely disgraceful what is sold out there and for the prices. As a consumer I refuse to accept these products and will do my best to let others know who want to save their hard earned money on something worth buying.

I have had this TV for about 10 days now and so far have been very pleased with it. This is my first Sony TV, I have always been a Samsung TV person, but decided to go with this based on reviews and the great sales price.
Positives:
Sound – Even without a soundbar, the audio quality of the internal speakers sounds better than most other flat screens
Picture – Picture is great. Every once in a while I’ll notice some motion blur (usually on older DVD’s), but newer movies and things on streaming services look great.
Screen – TV is in a room that gets a lot of morning sun. Glare does not appear to be an issue
Interface/Operating System – This is a Google TV so you can link your Google Home/Assistant to it. It’s pretty cool, but I find myself not using these types of features most of the time.
Cons:
Remote – Certainly a nitpicky issue, but the remote control for the TV is massive. Feel like could have made it a bit smaller considering so many other TV brands have these compact and easy to control remotes
Viewing Angle – Given that this is an LED rather than a OLED TV, the optimum viewing angle center. With that being said, if you are placing in a bigger room where people would view from farther ends of screen then you may have some issue with seeing the picture as it looks from a more centered angle.
Overall, I am very pleased with my first ever Sony purchase and would certainly recommend this to anyone who is considering it.

So I replaced a Samsung TU7000 with this, as it looked like it had a few upgrades. Since it’s a new model there’s not many reviews out there. I believe this model replaces the X800H. will say the color, sound and brightness are definitely better than expected. I think Samsung upconverts low res content more consistently, but this Sony has a much more realistic picture because textures and shadows are infinitely better. Also has more realistic motion with virtually no duplication or artifacts, and there’s a pop to the image that wasn’t there on the bottom tier Samsung. Android interface is infinitely less annoying than Samsung’s bloated constant pop-up system. One issue, I had to disable external device controls as the remote kept randomly turning on my UHD blu ray player and switching inputs. Easy enough fix. Has every streaming app if you don’t use another device with your tv. As far as aesthetics, It’s not super thin and it has a chunky bezel for 2021, but the remote is slim and tall and looks brushed. Features a pretty good voice control function. From what I’ve read it has a direct lit panel, but I’m unsure if it’s an ips or VA. The better viewing angles make me think it’s an ips. There are tons of picture and sound settings to mess with and color seems pretty accurate. Overall I’m pretty happy with this and I think it will sell be a sleeper mid range. Would be ideal if it were $150 less than MSRP. Sony is always overpriced so that is to be expected.

I went from a 32” Sony to a 50” Sony. It made such a difference in my apartment; I feel like I’m in a movie theater. The color is so vivid. Your documentaries are a joy to watch
