Final TV for awhile
LeslierF Posted 10 months ago
Was torn between this TV and the Samsung Neo QLED. I always bought Sony TV’s until about 10 years ago and really got into Samsung’s. After talking with the experts for the Sony and the Samsung TVs in Beat Buy, Both of the representatives were so informative and very patient with me. I decided to go with the Sony. Main reason was because the room that the TV was going in is a dark room and Sony is great for that. Also, sports are also best watched on a Sony TV. I have only had this set, also with the Bravia Theater Bar 6 about a week, but they have both really exceeded my expectations. The setup was so easy and the quality is on point! I have a 20 year old backlit Sony Big Screen that is a 1080 that is now 19 years old. Does not get used much since all of our other TV’s are now 4K HDTV’s, but just the fact that it still works and has never had to be serviced, make me believe in Sony all the more. Get this set, you won’t be sorry.

Lucy Posted 8 months ago
Amazing TV overall! Super easy to set up, the Google TV interface is smooth and fast, and the sound and picture quality are crystal clear. I chose Mini-LED over OLED for its durability and longer lifespan. Absolutely worth the price—this feels like a TV I won’t need to replace for many years!

The Sony Bravia 5 mini led has been great. I was pleasantly surprised that the glare from my very large window was less than I was expecting. I also like that it auto adjust to lighting in the room. My colors never seem oversaturated.

It is most rewarding to hear how well the K-65XR50 is working in your bright room. Dealing with sunlight can be tricky, so we’re glad the screen is handling that large window so well and keeping your colors looking natural.

Thanks for choosing Sony!

Thank you for sharing your feedback, DreMenna!

We are so pleased to hear that your neighbor recommended Sony and that you are enjoying the great picture quality on your new K-65XR50 television. We engineer our screens to deliver a stunning and immersive visual experience, and your feedback validates that effort!

We also appreciate your honest comment regarding the sound volume. While we focus on a balanced acoustic experience, we understand the need for more volume in certain viewing environments. We recommend checking the TV's sound settings, some features can sometimes help boost clarity. Alternatively, we can recommend pairing your Bravia with a Sony Soundbar for a truly optimized and louder cinematic experience.

Great TV
jrpitt Posted 8 months ago
Upgraded a 10 year old Samsung and moved to the Bravia 5. It ticked all the boxes for me. Had the 4 HDMI ports, legs can be positioned in the center or wide, eArc with Dolby Atmos support. Stock speakers are never as good as a soundbar. These are significantly better than most for stock. The remote is not bad but lacks backlit keys, which by today’s standards is mostly the norm. Especially when you pay the Sony Tax, that is a miss. The picture is excellent. My TV sits in a room that sees anywhere from a lot to a fair amount of light during the day. OLED would be less than ideal for my use case. Clear picture from different viewing angles. Sale price on this model, it was an easy decision. I might not have paid the normal asking price for it because I was targeting a specific budget. The gentleman that assisted me was very knowledgeable and professional. Showed me other options within my budget and this was by far the winner.

AppleGirlForLife Posted 3 months ago
I purchased this TV to replace another 65” Sony which had developed these horizontal lines in the screen. The picture on this TV is stunning. It is way more impressive than my previous Sony which had cost thousands more. I wanted this particular TV because I knew that it would fit perfectly on my existing television stand.

Great TV with a few issues
DamianW Posted 11 months ago
I wasn't impressed at first, but I watched a YouTube video on how to set up your Bravia and it made a big difference, especially for gaming. Since then the TV has been mostly great. The wifi signal seems to cut out from time to time. It's definitely the TV. I can still load my streaming services on my iPad and even on the Fire stick plugged into the back. But the TV will say "Wi-Fi connection lost" The remote isn't backlit like previous remotes from cheaper sets. I gave my old set to my daughter but I kept the remote and gave her the remote from this TV. The remote sensor is a little weak. If anything is barely in the way, you'll need to move so you can get a line of sight. The speakers aren't bad at all, but I definitely hear the difference when I connect to my Bose soundbar. Speaking of, Sony TV's seem to have disconnect problems with Bose soundbar. I've had to reset my soundbar twice. I really like how the TV auto detects when I turn on my PS5 and switches over to it. I got a good deal on the price and I'm happy with my purchase despite a couple minor issues.

Hi DamianW,

Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We're happy to hear that after some initial adjustments, you're enjoying your BRAVIA 5, especially for gaming. The fact that the picture quality made such a big difference for you is a testament to the power of our XR Processor and its ability to optimize the picture for a truly immersive experience. We also love that you're enjoying the seamless integration with your PS5.

We appreciate you bringing up the issues you've experienced, and we'd like to offer some solutions.

For the Wi-Fi connection issues:
For the best performance, we recommend placing your TV within 25 feet of your Wi-Fi router for an excellent signal strength. Additionally, you can try enabling Simple IP Control by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Home Network > IP Control > Simple IP Control > Turn On. This can sometimes help with network stability.

For the Soundbar connection issues:
To ensure smooth communication between your TV and soundbar, please check that BRAVIA Sync settings are turned on. You can find this by going to Settings > Channels & Inputs > External Inputs > BRAVIA Sync Settings > Make sure it's on. This feature is designed to manage the connection between compatible devices.

We understand your comments regarding the remote and speaker quality, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable as we continuously work to improve our products. We're glad you're happy with your purchase and hope these tips help you get the most out of your new TV.

Thanks for choosing Sony!

Regards,
Dominick
