    This TV is replacing a This TV is replacing an older Sony in the bedroom and will be moving the older one in another bedroom. The picture quality is great and colors look fantastic. The remote and menu is easy to use. I have been buying Sony for over 20 years. I have purchased another brand in the past and it doesn’t compare to the Sony. Bottom line you can’t go wrong buying a Sony TV.

    Extremely happy with the color quality but I feel the menus are complicated for someone not accustomed to a smart TV. I haven't even started to set up many features. Some communication issues between my cable box and the TV bad enough. One day I will learn the features of this TV.

      Hi BradL,

      We are delighted to hear you find the picture quality to be very impressive, especially for a standard LED model! Delivering outstanding visual performance is our top priority.

      We also recognize your comments regarding the built-in speakers. With modern display designs prioritizing ultra-slim profiles, we often find that an external sound bar or system is the best way to achieve the robust audio experience that matches the picture quality. Thank you for confirming that adding a sound bar resolved the issue and allowed you to fully enjoy your viewing experience.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    I was a little hesitant to purchase this because it had no reviews but I am extremely happy that I did. It has access to all the apps you could want (Hulu, Netflix, etc.). The menu is easy to use and responsive. The picture quality is excellent! I connected my PS5 to it and i think the picture quality is better than our 85" Sony. Perhaps I need to upgrade the cables on the 85". The sound is ok I suppose. I would prefer to pair this with a Sony soundbar and wireless subwoofer, but it would be too loud at that point.

    My Sony was just about 17 years old, I thought the picture and sound was okay. The Salesman said I would be blown away with the new one - he was right. Beautiful picture and I don't even need a sound bar! The Salesman was easy to work with, pointed out the features and I'm very happy with it. Thank you.

    I bought a tv but was having problems getting a clear picture so called in to Best Buy. They were at my house within two weeks, brought me a new tv, set it up and took all the garbage with them. They spent time with me, explaining how the tv works and troubleshooting. I was very pleased with the service I received.

    Love the picture quality, but had some difficulty with the mounting instructions. Turns out the 4 female/male screws that come with the product are not needed for all wall mounts. After screwing them in as instructed then discovered it was a mistake we could only remove 3 of the 4 screws so now the tv is a crooked on the wall.

    I bought the open box one. It was in good working condition. Picture quality was good. I like the time display feature it had as well. My only compliant is the bulkiness of the screen. I ended up returning it due to that and got a slimmer model. Other than that it is a good tv.
