Great picture.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is magnificent. I upgraded to this from an older Vizio and WOW what a difference! Picture is crisp and the sound is surprisingly good without the sound bar. I LOVE the remote control. It is slim with a great grip and feels good in your hand. I only use the apps on this TV- I don't have it hooked up to cable and I don't game on it, so I can't rate fairly for that, but watching NetFlix or Peacock or whatever app you have, you won't be disappointed! For the price it just can't be beat.

Excellent bedroom, spare room, or office TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're upgrading from a 1080P set, this thing will blow you away! But I bought this as a TV for my office space, which doubles as a space for my retro games, gaming PC, and Xbox Series X. I have a Vizio P55-F1 from 2018 in my living room, which is a bit dated but still gets the job done. The picture quality between that TV and this one really isn't that big of a jump, so this TV didn't exactly blow my hair back. BUT it's a really nice set, and it'll be great for gaming in my office.

Posted .Hi Cook55,
Congratulations on getting your new TV. We are glad that you like the smart Google TV features, excellent picture and sound quality of the TV. Good to know you appreciate the ease of adjustment for picture quality. The X85K has built-in apps, just like Roku. However, your Roku device should work with this TV.

Good tv
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice tv, about good for the price you pay. Nice when playing video games but you can’t have true 4K and run 120hz at the same time when gaming. You have to choose

The TV your PS5 has been asking for
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An excellent screen. I've used Samsung tvs for around a decade, but after encountering a backlight issue on my last samsung tv, I gave Sony a try, and I'm glad for it. This tv, other than a slightly dim edge, gives a mindblowing image. It can be tricky to set up for gaming on a ps5 (use hdmi 4!), but once set up it is a dream. Brilliant reds, pitch blacks, pure whites. No noticeable ghosting of frames. Strangely, the sound impressed me most. Deep range, with a 3d effect that is second to none (other than actual speakers).

Excellent TV for my needs.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love everything about this TV. Interface is snappy, app selection is great, and picture is amazing, my only regret was not getting something a little bigger (but that's hardly the fault of the TV!!) While I am rating this high, I can't honestly comment on the sound, I tend to use headphones at all times, but the bluetooth connectivity for my headset works flawlessly as well.

Great midrange TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to play my PS5 and stream in the basement. I had been looking at reviews for midrange gaming TVs and found this open box at the store. Great image quality with vibrant colors and clear picture. Switching apps is easy and user friendly. Comes with lots of streaming apps loaded and more available to download. Sound quality is decent but not too bad.
