Extremely Dark Picture
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I jumped on this when the price dropped $300 and it was only $50 more than the LG 48" CX Oled. I currently own 2 LG Oled's, 55" and 65". This major difference is the Sony has an extremely dark picture, especially in 4k Dolby Vision. I cannot get the Sony picture to "pop" like the LG. Another area where the Sony falls short is the picture with 480 content. Watching episodes of Mash from iTunes results in something I haven't seen since the days of plasma: Clay face. The picture looks overly processed and just doesn't look good. I'm most likely going to return this and get the LG CX. Don't get me wrong. 4K is stunning on this panel (as it is on the LG). The dimness of the picture and the poor 480p processing falls short of the LG. I have this panel in the master bedroom, where I can blackout the room. Even then, it's a dark picture after calibrating.

Almost all good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this TV on sale, so that influences my review. 1080 broadcast and streaming looks great! 4K programming looks outstanding! The only downside is with <1080 signals as the upscaling can be somewhat disappointing. It varies, sometimes it’s OK, sometimes not so good. This, I was told by the sales guy, is because this model is the low end of Sony’s OLED line and doesn’t have their best upscaling capability. The 2023 model has improved upscaling, but also costs $500 bucks more. I’m satisfied with my purchase.

Amazing picture
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stunning picture, and it is unbelievably thin. If you have an older smart TV, this will be like the difference between an airplane and a spaceship.

Bought 2 and am happy thus far
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased 2 of these for me and my father who’s hard of hearing. Not only is the picture clarity awesome. The picture is the speaker. It makes listening easier for my Dad whose hard of hearing. Smart TV capabilities are easy and intuitive for him as well. Wait for a sale as this TV is pricey.

Best TV I've ever had.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For brightness (Sony has a rep for being dark...not this one) color, clarity, sharpness, blacks, and sound without a soundbar, it's by far the best TV I've had.
