    This is the 4th Sony Bravia I have purchased in the past 10 years, 2 of which I have besides this new one. I don't think you can beat Sony quality! Although they cost more I think you get what you pay for in the long run.

    The quality of the picture is excellent. However, I did not realize getting a Google enabled TV would take over my entire life. It is now encroaching on my phone and every aspect of my TV experience. If I could return the two that I purchased and get great quality as Sony Bravia provides without built-in Google I certainly would.
