Excellent picture quality and bright Mini LED disp
Vlad Posted
I’m very impressed with this TV so far. The picture quality is sharp, colors are vibrant, and the Mini LED brightness makes movies and games look amazing. Google TV works smoothly and the interface is fast and easy to use. The sound is decent for built-in speakers, and the overall design looks premium. Great upgrade for watching sports, Netflix, and YouTube. Definitely recommend if you want a modern Sony TV with excellent image quality.

Superb, sharp, smooth
BioAbyssal Posted
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

Open Box Jewel
EFRENT Posted
Showed up to Best Buy because there was an open box item. I arrived hoping that it wasn’t there so that I didn’t have to commit, but it was there indeed, took it home and hung it up on the wall. The picture looks great and connected with ease to the other components I had. I quickly updated the Apple TV to get the most of the tv and are now considering the Bravia 7 to replace another unit.

Hi-quality picture with sharp, realistic colors
NICOLES Posted
I was surprised the how sharp the picture was and natural tones right out of the box. I’ve heard people complain about the remote but I think it works great and has all the essentials you need. I was looking for a slim tv that could be wall mounted for my bedroom and this tv fit the bill perfectly! I would highly recommend especially if you watch it on sale like I did!

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.

Great Picture - Learning how to use it.
Hunter Posted
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!
Best regards, Eliab

Superb picture
DavidM Posted
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

Sony Bravia 55-inch
Rick Posted
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.

Excellent picture quality
happycustomer Posted
I love Sony. This model replaces my 10 year old Bravia. Typical of Sony: Great picture quality. Images crisp and color is vivid. Excellent construction. Unit weighs much less than my previous Bravia Cons: the remote is too small for adults’ fingers. Sony no longer has audio output jacks except one optical port. So, you’ll have to retire old wired headphones (I loved my Sony over the ear headphones). Everyone is moving to Bluetooth and this model is no exception. The built in speaker is marginal. However there is a sound equalizer in the settings. Helpful for us old folks.

Hi Happycustomer,
We are very glad to hear that your new TV is living up to your expectations with its crisp picture quality, vivid colors, and lightweight construction! Upgrading after ten years is a major milestone, and we love knowing that you continue to trust us with your home entertainment.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the remote size and the transition to digital audio connection options. If you still want to use your favorite wired headphones, you can easily connect them by using an inexpensive optical-to-3.5mm analog audio converter plugged into the TV's optical port. We are also glad to hear that the built-in sound equalizer settings are helping you tune the audio to your liking!
Thank you for your continued loyalty and for being a cherished part of the Sony family.

Sony Bravia mini LED
Grandma Posted
Sony Bravia 5 mini LED is the best & longest lasting TV ever made in my opinion! Picture is crisp, Sound is amazing. It's big but not too big so the picture and sound are not too much! Perfect size for the room where we watch most of our TV shows. The people on the screen look so realistic you would think they are in the room with us. TV watching doesn't get any better than this!
