    This has been my best Sony TV purchase to date by far in this price point. The only downside is Sony has minimalized its remove which lacks a lot of the quick features I used to enjoy with the prior remove I have for my older Sony TV’s.

    Good picture, decent sound. Too much noise. I don't need my TV remote to download a software update. I don't need my TV to hound me with subscription services. Developed a horizontal line in the picture. Working with Sony warranty now. We'll see how they respond.
