Excellent as either a smart TV or a dumb TV
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this basically to replace another Sony Bravia that served me well for about 15 years. I specifically wanted a dumb TV because I already have a streaming box that I like. But so many TV manufacturers force smart features on you now. Some even force you to connect then to the Internet before you can use them at all. But I was delighted on set up of this new TV to be given an explicit option to confirm it as either a "smart TV" or a "basic TV"! That's exactly what I was looking for! After selecting the basic option it didn't bug me for WiFi credentials or other information. Perfect! The TV itself is very good. Nice on-screen UI, great picture, great sound. And it's a Sony, so hopefully it will last well.

Sony TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first, I thought paying a lot of money for Sony. We also got a 65 inch 7. LED works so much better for our house. Sony‘s picture is amazing. It’s worth the additional money and I like the TV software it comes with it comes with many channels and you can add your own apps. I didn’t even go to YouTube TV. The sound of the TV is fine, but I prefer a little depth, mid,and highs in my vocal and music qualities. Definitely might be sticking with Sony now always had Samsung.

Not good for an older person.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture is good but instructions are not clear. I bought this TV for my 98 year old mother. She likes SONY so thats what I got to replace her older model I would have prefered it not to have google tv. Having google TV made it difficult to set up to just see the cable box. Also it keeps going to sleep when it becomes idle. This is not good for an old lady who often falls asleep an when she wakes expects the TV to be working. I am not sure yet how to fix this issue. Can't Sonay just make a basic TV and not a smart TV.

Posted .Hi ComboProf, Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that the picture quality of the TV meets your expectations. We understand that setting up a Google TV for someone who may not be as tech-savvy can be challenging. You can configure the TV to start directly with the cable box input. Set the “Power on behavior” setting to either the Google TV Home Screen or your Last Used Input (cable box). Step 1. go to settings. 2.select System 3.select Power and Energy 4.select Power on Behavior 5.select last input used.
This will default the TV to the last used input when powered on. Hope this helps!
To stop the TV from going to sleep automatically, go to 'Settings', then 'Device Preferences', select 'Power', and adjust the 'Sleep Timer' settings to 'Off' or extend the duration. This can help ensure that the TV remains on as needed.
Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our old TV bit the dust so I found this Sony Bravia in-stock so I made the purchase and we picked up at the store. This TV is great with its 4D quality! The price fit our budget too! The only thing is that the remote is super sensitive. So be aware of where it is. Overall very happy with this TV!

Happy with TV purchase. Giving it 5 stars for it's great sound and picture/color quality. However, within days of using TV, I experienced frequent/ongoing problem with the remote (there is few seconds delay when turning on or off the TV or changing channels. I would have giving overall rating of 5 stars if not for this constant program/on and off delays with either TV or remote. I am in process of calling local Best Buy store in Nashua, NH to see if this a nation wide problem with this Sony TV model or just my set.

Good TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to get a bigger TV screen for my room. Always love sony for TVs. I think they make good TVs. Color is good and washed out. Only frustrating part is when i connected it to my roku, every time i turn it on, it’s always wanting to turn on twice before it connects to roku. I dont know if it’s because it’s a google TV? But it shouldn’t be that way. C’mon Sony! And i don’t like google TV!

Nice tv with terrible remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the tv picture and sound. HATE the remote. I have ordered 4 different Sony compatible remotes to fix the problem. Original doesn’t have numbers. None work perfectly. Poor remote design. Wish I had returned but it was already wall mounted.
