I am not sure if it’s a normal thing. But, for some reason while navigating through the UI it lags/stutters. I also was just having issues with opening the app “Max”. I loaded it up a couple times, and clicked the show I am currently watching, and it was frozen on the “Choose who’s watching”. IF this is a normal thing, it is ABSURD to pay nearly $700 for a TV like this

Does this TV support VRR? Im still trying to figure this out..
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
this was a bad buy in my opinion. the tv glitches constantly. I have top restart it every other day. disconnects from my soundbar, freezes. i had to disable all internet connections to the tv and just use a stream stick. the only thing i liked about it was the seamless integration with the playstation but even so i would not buy it just for that.

First, please ensure that the TV software is updated to version v6.7283. -On the TV remote control, press the HELP button or press the Input button, and then select Help.

Hi AaronFrench, we're sorry to hear that you had returned your Sony unit. The X85K is a direct lit LED panel design which provides good off axis viewing angles. If your priority is viewing angle, you may want to check out our X93L model with X-wide viewing technology or the OLED models A80L and A95L which provide very good off axis viewing.
We have our Support team that is always happy to assist. You can email us anytime at [email protected]
We hope you consider Sony again. ~Earl

Tv is great, I accidentally damaged it 2 inches or so on the top edge of the screen. Bought a 2 year warranty and they told me it could not be fixed. I bought the same tv because it’s a good budget tv for ps5 but I think Best Buy is a rip off if they don’t cover anything especially within 3 weeks of damage. Do not buy the warranty it won’t cover anything. Good Sony tv, but service is trash. Honestly Amazon will be my only gateway now. Best Buy won’t survive much longer. Bye bye

Hi DeborahW,
Thanks for reaching out! We want to make sure that you’re taken care of and go through some troubleshooting with you to make sure your TV is great. As a workaround, verify if the issue occurs on other channels and other video sources (e.g., Cable box, Signal Channels, Blu-ray Player, PlayStation, or any other external input). If the picture is blurry or odd colors occurs on your Google TV screen when watching videos, please try following the steps on the link below to resolve the issue:
The quality of the source is also a big factor in getting an excellent picture quality. Having said that, picture mode settings provide preset adjustments for the type of picture you are viewing. Picture settings also allow a wide array of changes to color, contrast, clarity, motion settings, and brightness that can improve the viewed content on your Google TV. For more information, please visit the link below.
If you need further assistance regarding your concern, please let us know so we can turn your experience around. You may send us an email at [email protected] with the following details: Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.
