Just Buy it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is breathtaking. If you are moving from a regular Roku or HD tv, this will blow your mind. The 42"" model is best used as a monitor replacement for gaming and productivity, and it has taken my setup to the next level.

Happy with it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to replace a 10yr old LG LCD which was in the bedroom. This has an excellent picture and apps react pretty quick so no need for the Roku anymore. The over the air tuner works well also.

Great display, but weird overscan correction
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, this is a fantastic display. I'm using it as a secondary, media, gaming monitor. The PS5 and Xbox Series X look amazing on this. However, I also have it connected to a 2080 super, and there's a major overscan issue. The "Wide Mode" option is permanently locked, unless I do some weird menu navigation and temporarily enable it for the source somehow. Then even after it is fixed or starts correctly, it will eventually make an undesired overscan change, and it will go back to not filling the display correctly." The best way I've found to temporarily fix this issue is to disconnect the unit from power and plug it back in. The overscan is correct for a while, and then it eventually and randomly switches to another incorrect setting. Also, this display does not look as bright or as vivid as an older Sony 77" A80J OLED. I was very disappointed when I noticed this, because this is a newer display. I guess Sony gives the larger displays much more attention.

New Bravia TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm coming from a 14 year old 1080 set, so I love this TV. It's in a very bright room and I can see the picture very well without shutting the blinds. I also bought a sound bar and that works well with this TV

The Best with PS5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are contemplating this as a PS5 gaming tv and it's in your price range, this is a must have. Not only does this tv look great, it also takes out all of the guess work for syncing with your PS5. HDR, Color Settings, Framerate etc, is all synced when connected to your PS5. This is the first time I have ever used a TV/Gaming Monitor for the first time and not have spent the first hours or days trying to get the best picture from the product. In addition, the TV is perfect for watching movies and streaming TV. As of right now with about 100 hours on this TV, I have zero complaints, and it's probably the most enjoyable gaming experience and streaming I have had thus far.

Great picture, so so as a computer monitor.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, the picture is great. I’ve been enjoying my new OLED a lot. The reason I didn’t give five stars is that it sometimes doesn’t turn on right or it has frozen when using the remote. The issue seems to occur as a result of using it as a pc monitor but for the most part the tv has been great. To Fix I’ve just been unplugging or restarting the computer.

I put it side by side from a c2
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sony did some definition more sharp but over all it felt like not a great experience as a monitor compared to rhe c2. I didnt like how to get hdr to work and 120hz to work and tinkering that way. I never felt i was getting the best picture. With the c2. It was just plug in. Spot check and fine. I only use it as a monitor though.
