Good for playing PC games at 120hz
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV has some issues with my use. When using my Nintendo Switch the sound of the TV can just randomly stop at any given time, and the sound will not return at all (for any input or even the tv interface) until it is unplugged and plugged into power (I do not use sound from PC to TV, I have external speakers, so I cannot comment on if the sound will break here while in use, but can confirm that when it breaks it also breaks for pc and all noise from TV in general). I use this TV 99% of the time as a PC monitor, and 1% for Nintendo Switch, (never watching actual TV programming on it), and even here the picture has issues. Some characters on the screen at 4k 120hz HDR have vertical lines on them, chopping the letters and numbers into pieces. When HDR is turned off this effect is greatly reduced to the point if you didn't know it happened on this TV you most likely wouldn't notice. The HDR brightness at full brightness is laughably dim, to the point where it was nearly unusable during the day, however when this is disabled the colors are more vibrant and the screen is very bright even when at 40/50 brightness. This TV really shines when playing video games on PC at 4k 120hz (no HDR), its very smooth (assuming the PC can keep up) and there is no distortion of the image. If the goal is to play video games on it with a PC, don't use HDR and your experience will be quite good. Overall there is too many 'issues' with this TV to give a higher rating than average. If the HDR/TV didn't chop text into pieces and the sound didn't just stop working at random I would easily give this 4/5 stars. HDR I can do without as apparently I like the picture more without it, and I like reading the text on screen.. At the time of writing this review my PC, TV and Nintendo Switch are fully updated

pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought Sony KD50X85J. This is an android smart tv. It has good picture for LED, not as good as my old LCD. The smart menu takes some getting used to, but works. It took me awhile to figure out how to increase volume on optical audio out to run into stereo (had to buy optical-to-rca converter), but works good. The tv did uncommanded return to home screen twice. I was going to return it, but seems ok now. TV is 2.5" thick, so room for good speakers which sound great. I have not tried Alexa interface yet, should be interesting. Overall, good tv.

Gorgeous picture, amazing TV, great price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful picture and performance. This is my first TV purchase since 2014, my Vizio did well until I decided to go 4k. Wow, the detail and picture quality is simply amazing, everything looks so clear and it’s great for watching movies or gaming. I recommend this TV for anyone that has the PS5 as well. The addition of Google/Android TV is really fast and loads quickly.
