Excellent picture quality and bright Mini LED disp
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m very impressed with this TV so far. The picture quality is sharp, colors are vibrant, and the Mini LED brightness makes movies and games look amazing. Google TV works smoothly and the interface is fast and easy to use. The sound is decent for built-in speakers, and the overall design looks premium. Great upgrade for watching sports, Netflix, and YouTube. Definitely recommend if you want a modern Sony TV with excellent image quality.

Superb, sharp, smooth
||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

Finally found a display model go on open box at an enticing price. No regrets waiting for the right opportunity. Sony Bravia gives an outstanding quality picture. Sound is best coming from an external sound bar or amp.

Excellent picture quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Sony. This model replaces my 10 year old Bravia. Typical of Sony: Great picture quality. Images crisp and color is vivid. Excellent construction. Unit weighs much less than my previous Bravia Cons: the remote is too small for adults’ fingers. Sony no longer has audio output jacks except one optical port. So, you’ll have to retire old wired headphones (I loved my Sony over the ear headphones). Everyone is moving to Bluetooth and this model is no exception. The built in speaker is marginal. However there is a sound equalizer in the settings. Helpful for us old folks.

Posted .Hi Happycustomer,
We are very glad to hear that your new TV is living up to your expectations with its crisp picture quality, vivid colors, and lightweight construction! Upgrading after ten years is a major milestone, and we love knowing that you continue to trust us with your home entertainment.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the remote size and the transition to digital audio connection options. If you still want to use your favorite wired headphones, you can easily connect them by using an inexpensive optical-to-3.5mm analog audio converter plugged into the TV's optical port. We are also glad to hear that the built-in sound equalizer settings are helping you tune the audio to your liking!
Thank you for your continued loyalty and for being a cherished part of the Sony family.

Great Picture - Learning how to use it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my 5-year-old Sony LCD television with this one. I wanted the much faster processor that the Bravia 5 series televisions have. The picture of my old Sony was very good, and this one takes the image to a higher level. The image is sharper without adjusting the sharpness, and there is more depth, and a bit of a 3D effect that is more noticeable than in my previous set. I mostly watch sports and still have motion blur. I hope to adjust it out. Even though I have fast internet service, YouTube TV still lags and hangs up sometimes when using the back button. I am beginning to believe that it is the streaming service, not the TV. In summary, the new Sony is a refinement over my 5-year-old Sony. The faster processor and the Mini LED design are the main improvements that I see.

Posted .Hi Hunter,
We are pleased to hear that your new BRAVIA 5 is delivering that sharper, high-depth image you were looking for! To help reduce the motion blur you're seeing during sports, we recommend going to Settings > Display & Sound > Picture > Motion and adjusting the Motionflow settings; specifically, try setting Smoothness to a higher level to help the TV's processor track fast-moving objects more effectively. Regarding the YouTube TV lag, you are likely correct that the service or app itself is the bottleneck, but ensuring your TV's software is fully updated can often help the processor handle those navigation commands more smoothly. Thanks for choosing Sony and for being a long-time member of the Sony family!
Best regards, Eliab

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.

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.

It's great to hear that you find this model to be reliable, offer a great picture, and work exceptionally well. We are also thrilled that your previous Sony TV provided you with eight years of constant use—that speaks directly to the durability we aim for in our products.
Thank you for calling the BRAVIA 5 a "rock solid product" and for giving us a five-star rating!

Excellent choice
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is a solid choice, the picture quality is great and very bright. However, the sound can be either very loud or very low sometimes. There’s also other manufacturers that make a tv just as good if not better for cheaper. I did buy this for the ATSC 3.0 tuner and it is working superbly.

Posted .Hi RANDY!
Thank you so much for your feedback on your new K-55XR50 television!
We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the bright picture quality and that the built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner is working superbly for your over the air broadcasts.
To help smooth out the volume swings between loud and quiet moments, we highly recommend turning on the Voice Zoom or Auto Volume feature in your TV’s audio settings. This feature is designed to automatically balance sudden shifts in sound, making dialogue much clearer and preventing loud action scenes from overpowering the room.

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.
