This sony Bravia 5 55 inch Mini Led unit is the perfect blend between price and quality. If you must have an OLED, then this isn’t the unit. However, saving 500 plus for nearly the same quality at 55 inch its a no brainer. Google TV expereince, smooth, snappy, and depp rich near perfect blacks is everything youll want and this unit delivers

Great item. I’ve been watching this specific model for several months. Finally found a display model go on open box at an enticing price. No regrets waiting for the right opportunity. Sony Bravia gives an outstanding quality picture. Sound is best coming from an external sound bar or amp.

Easy experience, sales team was super helpful. Ethan and Joseph broke down all the tech details and were very knowledgeable with comparing different models for what we were looking for in a 55” TV. As usual, this Best Buy exceeded all our expectations which is why we continue to utilize them for our electronics and home appliance needs. Thanks Bloomingdale!

I replaced my 5-year-old Sony LCD television with this one. I wanted the much faster processor that the Bravia 5 series televisions have. The picture of my old Sony was very good, and this one takes the image to a higher level. The image is sharper without adjusting the sharpness, and there is more depth, and a bit of a 3D effect that is more noticeable than in my previous set. I mostly watch sports and still have motion blur. I hope to adjust it out. Even though I have fast internet service, YouTube TV still lags and hangs up sometimes when using the back button. I am beginning to believe that it is the streaming service, not the TV. In summary, the new Sony is a refinement over my 5-year-old Sony. The faster processor and the Mini LED design are the main improvements that I see.

Hi Hunter,
We are pleased to hear that your new BRAVIA 5 is delivering that sharper, high-depth image you were looking for! To help reduce the motion blur you're seeing during sports, we recommend going to Settings > Display & Sound > Picture > Motion and adjusting the Motionflow settings; specifically, try setting Smoothness to a higher level to help the TV's processor track fast-moving objects more effectively. Regarding the YouTube TV lag, you are likely correct that the service or app itself is the bottleneck, but ensuring your TV's software is fully updated can often help the processor handle those navigation commands more smoothly. Thanks for choosing Sony and for being a long-time member of the Sony family!

This TV replaced another Bravia that had begun to develop LED failure along one of its backlight strips. That unit was a 2016 model, and while its picture was really good, it can't compare to the precise backlighting of this new Bravia 5. It has all the best features and performance of the older Bravia, only better. Everything has been refined. The picture is every bit as good as our main TV, a 65" Bravia 950-series.

Hi DavidM,
We are genuinely pleased to hear you are enjoying the significant upgrade with your new 55" BRAVIA 5 Mini LED TV! It is wonderful that after many years of enjoying your 2016 model, you can now experience the major refinements, especially the precise backlighting and superior performance that brings it up to the quality of your 950-series TV. Thank you for your continued loyalty to BRAVIA!
Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

It's not the cheapest, or the fastest, or the biggest, but it works well and reliably, and it has a great picture. I was replacing a similar Sony which quit after 8 years of constant use. I have a minor glitch with the Zvox sound bar optical audio output, which requires an occasional restart, but it's a rock solid product.

Hi Rick,
It's great to hear that you find this model to be reliable, offer a great picture, and work exceptionally well. We are also thrilled that your previous Sony TV provided you with eight years of constant use—that speaks directly to the durability we aim for in our products.
Thank you for calling the BRAVIA 5 a "rock solid product" and for giving us a five-star rating!
We really appreciate you being part of the Sony family!

I had one of the first flat screen from Sony. It was a 48 inch Bravia, which I purchased around 2005. Well, it finally stopped working. Of course, I purchaed another Sony tv. This time I purchased a 55 inch Bravia. This tv did not disappoint. Picture is great and sound is excellent because I purchased a sound bar, also a Sony. I only buy Sony tvs because they last. That is why they are a lttle bit more expensive, because they last. I bought this tv on sale.

Hi MariaR,
It is incredible to hear that your original 2005 Bravia lasted two decades! That is a true testament to the longevity we strive for, and we are so glad you chose to stay in the Sony family for your upgrade. Moving from that early flat screen to the 2025 BRAVIA 5 with Mini LED technology and the XR Processor is a massive jump in contrast and detail—especially when paired with a Sony soundbar for that seamless audio integration.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Eliab

I bought the Sony Bravia 5 xr50 for the true colors it gives. I looked at other brands and they seemed washed out looking. I also wanted to use my surround sound system with my new tv purchase. My old tv was a Sony from 2008 and had the optical audio out connection. Side note my old Sony is still working just fine, but is not 4k. If you are looking for a tv with great picture quality and connecting to a surround sound system this is the one.

Hi Newmac12345,
It is wonderful to hear that you’ve upgraded to the BRAVIA 5 after nearly two decades with your previous Sony! We are thrilled that the true-to-life colors and Mini LED technology are providing the vibrant picture you were looking for compared to other brands. It's also great to know you've successfully integrated your surround sound system using the optical output, proving that even our newest 4K models still play perfectly with classic audio setups. Thanks for being such a loyal member of the Sony family!

The Sony-55" Class Bravia 5 MINI LED 4K Smart Google TV is slimmer and less bulkier than the one I bought before . The remote also has more features such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tube, Disney, Sony Pictures,etc. The sound on the TV is better than on the previous Sony TV I had purchased. The TV tools are easier to navigate especially for a Senior Citizen. The installation process was easier and faster.

Great TV had a little problem with the sound not matching the picture and paid Best Buy Geek squad to deliver and set up the TV. Called them to fix the problem but couldn’t get them to come out for a week. It took me a couple of days to figure it out and it works great. Love the TV but not real happy with Geek Squad. However I have to say that in the past they have taken good care of me.
