Sony quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tv has an excellent picture and good enough sound for regular tv viewing. The setup was a bit confusing. The remote takes some time to get used to because there are no numbers on it. I found I can use a sony remote from an older tv that has all the numbers on that makes changing channels easier. I have one wish that sony would have left a 3.5 mm plug for some of my older stereo equipment. I have a klipsh 2.1 system for my computer that I previously hooked up to my older sony tv. I would say it would be best for a movie experience to hook it up to a sound system. I have bought 7 Sony TVs since 1995 and have never had a quality issue with any of them. Its a bit more money but the sony quality is worth it

Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is awsome but some of the features or lack thereof I don't like. But overall it's worth the buy I've only ever owned sonys thats why I had a problem with some of the features.Im used to removing apps from the home screen that I don't use that particular feature is not there and the time of day on the homescreen without having to go to another screen.

Sony Never Disappoints
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, Sony never disappoints. I replaced my 10+ yo Plasma TV as the picture was fading in my very sunlit living room. The picture and sound are incredible. I bought the 50", it fits the room I have a condo. I used to have to close my blinds to watch the plasma tv but not with this one. It is bright and the quality is fantastic. The setup can be a little tricky if you're easily frustrated by that, just have Best Buy do the setup if you're not computer savvy, it will be worth it. I'm over 60 so once I realized the remote didn't have batteries installed it wasn't too bad but I like these kinds of challenges.

Almost a great TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The smart TV took a bit more to set up for an acceptable picture than an of my previous smart TVs. Works great now, just hope I dont get a reset and have to start over. Also disappointed with the remote and the fact that when changing channel too fast, the one gets a frozen picture. To fix, one needs to power off and back on.

Great higher lvl mid grade Sony TV

The size and location or perfect. The color and sound from this tv is amazing. I always liked Sony electronics and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this tv for a high mid grade tv. We love it.

High quality Sony TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first Sony TV since the days of the big box TVs. I've purchased Sharp, LG, Samsung, and Insignia brand TVs in the past. This is better than most of those brands. I have an OLED LG with better picture quality than this TV but it cost quite a bit more, and this TV comes pretty close to that quality. The build and look of this TV are great, the interface is easy to use and the remote control works well. I haven't tried gaming on this TV but for streaming, it's pretty close to perfect at this price point.
