    Love this tv with one exception. It keeps hanging up and the picture goes blank and you can hear the sound. We have to unplug it and plug back in to restart. Even when we unplug the light stays in sometimes don’t know how that happens if no electricity going to tv. This happens 3-4 times a week. Have checked all settings and cleared cache and reset and it continues to happen. It also happened with the first one. I returned it to get the bigger one but it did it too. We don’t have internet so idk what is causing it. Got to do some research and contact Sony.
