Very Happy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful picture quality. Purchased because I’ve had several Sony products, including tv’s, and you can’t beat Sony for TVs in my opinion. Works really well with Sonos Beam via the ARC connection.

Sony TV That Makes Sense
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing value with all the quality I have come to expect from Sony televisions.
I would recommend this to a friend Sony 50”
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this TV to replace the 12 year old one which we have in our living room in a space that will only accommodate up to a 50” TV. We have always had great luck with Sony products and they last a long time. (The older one is a Sony as well and still works but doesn’t have built-in streaming capability.) This TV is much, much easier to maneuver through than an LG one we purchased for another space last year. The remote control is much more intuitive and since newer TVs do not come with as detailed a manual as they used to that is a tremendous advantage!

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Tv is great! Was deciding between this and the 55". Chose the 50" for the price ($749.99 for a Best Buy Member Day ) can't really beat that price for a 4K Sony Bravia that's compatible with the PS5.
