    I thought 4K would be a major difference from 1080.

    We only traded up from old "46 Sony Bravia for the convenience of the "smart" technology. While the the picture resolution is great we've struggled with Netflix repeatedly disconnecting from our WiFi network after switching back to TV viewing.

    Good picture for the price but smart TV features are awful. I regret buying this TV and can not recommend it. Get a Samsung instead this is a pretty much just a monitor and not a smart TV.

    I got this tv after carefully balancing my budget along with specs that comply with the ps4, such as input lag. The picture is great for movies and TV as well as video games, but the HDR setting is lacking depth.

    I was reading reviews for a tv for weeks and came across the Sony tv. A lot of good reviews but it is hard to adjust because it was very blurry at first. A couple of YouTube videos to set it up and now it’s fine.

    Its an average tv as per the price and market options. Biggest problem I faced is tv freezes many times and to fix the problem you have to remove power. Would not recommend this tv.

    I think Samsung is a higher quality tv. Bought this Sony and the color sometimes goes out and we have to shut it off and turn it back on. Somewhat annoying.

    Excellent 50 Inch TV for PS4

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Initially, the standard setting on TV was not impressive. After configuring the picture, the TV became brilliant! (Set Sharp @ 60, Bright Level @ 20, Contrast @92 left black and color @ 50.. And turned on built-in contrast and motion rating @ AUTO). WOW!! 4K is showing very vivid and bright color on local stations broadcasting at 720P as well as 1080P. Screen is excellent and I like quick access to Netflix and Youtube. The best part is that it is automatically configuring the screen setting for PS4 games and transition is smooth. This is where 240 motion rate is working nicely. I also watched SNF yesterday, and it was so smooth that there is no issue with motions as well as a BLACK color where it is not highly defined. If you have a PS4 game console, look no further. It is the best one @ a reasonable price.

    I bought this TV from Best Buy for Home.Since the day I’m using it, I’m facing a lot of issues with it. It does not connect to the internet at all. Or if it does connect, the connection gets interrupted every time. It’s a total waste of money for me as I will have to buy a new TV. I wish I could return it.
