Loving Sony Quality
Loving the size and picture quality. I didn’t want to wall mount so finding a stand was difficult, but Salamander Synergy 245 works perfect. Sony’s excellent processors also make all menus smooth and fast, which is why I went with Sony versus other brands.

98” Sony Bravia 5
Great tv. Just hope there are no issues further down the line. Get a little glare during the day but where it really shines is at night in a dark room feeding it a high resolution source. Added a Sonos Arc Ultra which was a big plus. Best Buy install was painless. I wouldn’t want to try it on my own.

Amazing 98” TV
I LOVE this tv! I am lucky enough to own this 98” Bravia 5 and an 85” Sony Bravia 9 for comparison in a different room. The picture quality is almost as good as the Bravia 9 (latest model) even at this gigantic size. It is phenomenal. If you have the space for it, it’s a great tv.
