Sony 50” X85K
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony 50” X85K was an open box in excellent condition! Hooked it up right away found the colors on the screen life like! Thanks to Erick at Best Buy in Aiea HI for helping decide on this vs the 50” X77! Got to use AirPlay and watch You Tube to see the screen come to life like 3D. Will start using the other streaming apps later after enjoying my Airplay and You Tube on this screen.

Great image and features
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to replace a very old 46 inch 1080p TV that I used with a PS5. This TV improves on that one in every way. Streaming and gaming is amazing on it. Pictures are clear and fluid. Colors are great. It also has a ton of free channels. I like streaming from my phone onto it but I mostly use the built in YouTube app. The sound is its weakest point, but it still sounds good.

Great TV!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome TV!! The sound is great the picture quality is awesome and we're super happy with it! If you're between the x77l and the x85k, just spend the extra money. We originally purchased the x77l and the picture quality and sound was not very good at all. We ended up returning it and getting the X85k and I'm so happy we did!

Very clear with plenty of options.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony Bravia X85 50 inch LED TV I purchased this Sony from the recommendation of the Salesperson who was very knowledgeable about All the Tv,s. I originally wanted an OLED or QLED TV which would have been overkill as I do not purchase Netflix or Cable only stream through Wi-Fi. The picture is clear, the Bravia and Google TV options give me plenty of choices of movies. Very Satisfied with the results of this product.

Beautiful picture
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The panel itself is very good. Couldn’t tell if it’s better than OLED, but the 120 hz native refresh rate is nice. Also the speakers are solid. The only gripe I have is that the user interface isn’t the best. Probably could’ve used better processing tech, mostly RAM, to smooth out transitions, but that’s a problem for all smart tvs too, so…

50” X85 review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this TV after my old Samsung 52” stopped turning on. The Geek Squad delivery people helped with initial install without a hitch. The difference in picture quality/sharpness between my old TV and this new one was evident. The picture was much more sharper w/ the X85 when i played a Blueray DVD. The sound was also decent. It took getting used to going thru the menus in this new TV but its not too bad.

TV resets itself on it own alot.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have had it for years. It is OK, but the issues we have had is mostly with it rebooting itself right in the middle of watching something. I am guessing its the Android OS updating or something but I will neve by again. Also the remote takes sometimes multiply pushes like sometime 10 to get it to reconginize and do what we want. But it has lasted and does the job. Just very anoying when you in the middle of a game and the screen goes black and the TV is reseting itself. We also added a sound bar because I believe the speakers face backwards on this so you have to really turn it up to her and of course sound bar with wolfer is way better.
