||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sony Bravia 5 55 inch Mini Led unit is the perfect blend between price and quality. If you must have an OLED, then this isn’t the unit. However, saving 500 plus for nearly the same quality at 55 inch its a no brainer. Google TV expereince, smooth, snappy, and depp rich near perfect blacks is everything youll want and this unit delivers

Superb picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV replaced another Bravia that had begun to develop LED failure along one of its backlight strips. That unit was a 2016 model, and while its picture was really good, it can't compare to the precise backlighting of this new Bravia 5. It has all the best features and performance of the older Bravia, only better. Everything has been refined. The picture is every bit as good as our main TV, a 65" Bravia 950-series.

Thank you for your continued loyalty to BRAVIA!
Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
Sony Bravia 55-inch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not the cheapest, or the fastest, or the biggest, but it works well and reliably, and it has a great picture. I was replacing a similar Sony which quit after 8 years of constant use. I have a minor glitch with the Zvox sound bar optical audio output, which requires an occasional restart, but it's a rock solid product.

Thank you for calling the BRAVIA 5 a "rock solid product" and for giving us a five-star rating!
We really appreciate you being part of the Sony family!

Senior Citizen Proof
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony-55" Class Bravia 5 MINI LED 4K Smart Google TV is slimmer and less bulkier than the one I bought before . The remote also has more features such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tube, Disney, Sony Pictures,etc. The sound on the TV is better than on the previous Sony TV I had purchased. The TV tools are easier to navigate especially for a Senior Citizen. The installation process was easier and faster.

Great picture
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TV picture is bright and clear. The sound is great as well. This 55 inch tv was pwrfwct for our home. I was disappointed that the installers metely plugged in the unit and left. It took me 15 minutes to break into the remote and anorher two hours to try to configure the tv and set up my streaming services. The technician was no help and it was difficult for me since I am not used to the newer technology.

No Complaints
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had Sony Tv's for as long as I can remember and they will always be the leader in picture quality in my opinion. My new Bravia 5 continues that opinion. For the best picture from external media, Roku, 4k Bluray, etc. invest in 2.1 HDMI cables. It makes a difference.

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great TV had a little problem with the sound not matching the picture and paid Best Buy Geek squad to deliver and set up the TV. Called them to fix the problem but couldn’t get them to come out for a week. It took me a couple of days to figure it out and it works great. Love the TV but not real happy with Geek Squad. However I have to say that in the past they have taken good care of me.
