Top of the line as far as I'm concerned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I knew before I bought, that I wanted a Sony, but, after comparing them side by side, I really can see why. With the correct input (Digital HD cable, DVD, or BluRay) the picture is flawless. You'll have to tweak it to your standards once you get it home, but the picture is perfect. The XBR series has always been my favorite, & they haven't lost it, even with the thin screens, smaller speakers, etc.

Should be better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for this TV to blow me away. It was very difficult to get it calibrated correctly very time consuming for a 4k TV if you are looking for a TV that you can plug in and watch this is not the one it was very frustrating to have to work through it

Great TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We relied on the floor sales men to point us in the right direction for what we wanted and not break the bank. He did great and we love the Sony TV we purchased.

Outstanding TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV has a amazing picture. I do not see any light bleeds that I have read about on some TV models. The colors are outstanding. The range of colors is the best I have seen on a TV . The reds are outstanding which I have found lacking in previous TV's that I have owned. I have downloaded some sample 2160p files to my computer and sent them to the TV. Those pictures are really outstanding.

The best of the best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV does not disappoint. Color and clarity are amazing. Netflix shows in 4K UHD like Marco Polo and Daredevil are crystal clear. Great contrast too. Works seamlessly with PS4 and my Apple TV. The smart remote works with my Apple TV as well. The only gripe I have is the quality of the smart remote itself in comparison to Samsung's. Nonetheless Sony = quality in everything else.

Another great Sony
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm so glad I decided to purchase my 3rd Sony TV. Never had any problems at all with any Sony I ever owned. Hope this Smart TV is as great as my other Sony's.

big, but maybe not best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is nice, but I was a bit disappointed to bring it home and find it didn't look as it did in the store. I was told to get a "dark" blu ray and adjust colors based off that. I did, and it's looking better. Cable tv signals would never look good, of course, and my FireTv 4k looks great! My 3d glasses are in the mail, so I haven't tested that yet. Next time, I'll spring for the OLED for better blacks!

Awesome TV from Sony!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I usually get a Samsung TV, instead, I was recommended by Brett at Best Buy to get the new Sony 4K TV. I have been really happy with my decision ever since!

Active 3D TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally purchased this unit to upgrade from my 42" Vizio passive 3D tv. However, had I known it was active 3D I never would have purchased it in the first place. Nevertheless, I gave the active 3D a try. First of all, this unit doesn't come with a set of 3D glasses so be prepared to drop about $30 per pair (on the low end) just to be able to see the 3D. After purchasing two pairs of active 3D glasses, I had to sync them to the tv. This was easier said than done. After about 15 minutes, both pairs of glasses were synced to the tv. After fully charging both glasses, I sat down to watch a 3D movie expecting to be blown away by the quality of the active 3D. Unfortunately this was not the case. The images were so blurry and distorted it was impossible to watch the movie, let alone see anything in 3D. There were moments of crisp 3D from time to time, but that was rare. Aside from the 3D dissatisfaction, it seemed to take the TV a long time to turn on and boot up. It also took almost 45 minutes to install a software upgrade. Even after the upgrade and configuring all the settings, the TV was still rather annoying to use. For example, every time the tv was turned on, it would come up with a menu page that consisted of things I should watch in YouTube and random other apps, instead of just turning to the cable input. I immediately returned this tv the very next day and purchased a 65" LG passive 3D 4K tv which I absolutely love and couldn't be happier with.

Excellent TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2 steps to turn on tv is annoying. Also need separate control for the sound board.. Sound board position in front of tv blocks direct line to control TV functions.
