Ok TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.4k TV purchased as a replacement for another 1080p Sony TV that crapped out after only a year (junk). Wasn't as clear as the last one and keeps restarting after opening YouTube. Ap interface was easy to use. But will be buying a different brand here on out

Problematic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We seen this model in store and liked how it compared to the other models that were on display. The worst TV I ever owned. Getting error messages, TV reboots while watching it. Even when the Best Buy Geek squad set up the Harmony remote they mentioned that Sony is screwing around with updates and messing things up. Even told me about problems that they are having because of it. Stay away from this model its not worth the aggravation. At least I purchased tech support for a few years maybe I should overwhelm them with problems and see if I can get this fixed or replaced.

Great build quality!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv offers a very large amount of settings. It has a beautiful design and solid stand. The tv does wobble some if bumped. Speaker quality is better than I expected. I rated it 3 stars because of the many awkward settings for picture calibration.

Little bit over pricey for the features n Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this Smart TV in May and it is working good without issues. The main thing i would complain about is the Sound. It is very low for a TV. I got a 5.1 Surround system to suffice the problem. Other than that its a good product from SONY

Good picture poor apps
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality is great; no pixelation and it even makes my retropie look great. Unfortunately the apps are terrible. They consistently fail to start on the first attempt and Pandora requires a restart after only a few songs.

Picture Not Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took this tv back and bought the 930D. The picture was hazy despite many adjustments. The 930D picture is fantastic. Should have bought it to begin with. Night and day difference.

Returned after reading other reviews
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned without opening after reading other reviews. The blacks are not black. Waiting on the new model which I might not buy because of sound issues. I really like Sony products though. For the money, I would like quality.

No wow factor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this home and watched a 4k disk. Picture is not as impressive as in the store. I will by a new HDMI cable, although the one i have was supposed to be acceptable. audio is weaker than Samsung. At 100% it is not very loud.

Disappointed in picture quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My last 2 tvs were Samsung HD smart tvs. I was very happy with them, but as a long time fan of Sony products I figured I'd make a change. In my opinion the picture is nowhere near a clear, clean an sharp as the Samsung.

Android TV ruined Sony's reputation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV has an amazing picture and looks great on the wall. I was pretty impressed with the 4K + HDR display. The downside is that the Android TV service crashes constantly and even reboots multiple times a day. I spent hours on the phone with Sony Support the day i brought it home and ultimately exchanged the set with Best Buy. 2-3 days after the "new" one was home, it started doing the same thing. The picture is amazing, but I will not buy another Sony set with Android TV installed in it.

Love the tv
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tv is great. Only thing I recommend not doing is taking advantage of the 2yr free financing. You won't get any reward points. If I had known before purchasing, I would've just used my regular credit card.

The Sony 55" led TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony 55" led TV is ok. The problem is the side lit screen. It can look like flashlights on the screen. Black levels are terrible.

poor connecton with remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Intermittently will not respond to remote or to certain functions on the remote such as changing channels or changing volume. I'm exchanging it for an LG.

Disagree with professional reviews
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hate to say it but this TV came up short of my expectations. Maybe it was the difference in picture quality but I prefer the Samsung over the Sony sets.

Nice but could be better.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is nice but I’m a little disappointed with the horrible black levels (is basically grey) during darker scenes. And the blotchy light bleed is annoying as well.
