    I think it’s a fine tv for the price but I ended up going with a different one that was brighter and more suited for what I wanted.

      Hi Dustin,

      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We’re pleased to learn that you found the K55XR50 to be a fine TV for the price, although you ultimately chose a different model that better suited your brightness requirement. This is certainly not up to the quality standards we strive for, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Rest assured, we will forward your comments to our dedicated Sony team for their review as we continue to work diligently to improve our products.

      Best regards,

    The TV is great, the young gentleman that helped me with the purchase was of great assistance throughout the entire process. THE MAIN REASON FOR the loss of one star is management!!!!! On the app the tv was $80.00 cheaper but they were to chicken to match

    Just got this television for my bar area and I like the bright mini led screen. Sound is average so I will be booking it up to a soundbar. Overall for mid range price on sale I would recommend.

      Hi KingD,

      We are very sorry to hear that your new BRAVIA 5 TV has no picture. This is not the experience we want for our customers, and we'd like to help you resolve it.

      First, please try a simple power cycle: unplug the TV from the wall outlet for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in. If the screen is still black, please check all of your video cables (like an HDMI cable) to ensure they are securely connected to both the TV and your source device. It's also a good idea to try a different HDMI port on the TV.

      If these steps don't fix the issue, please contact our support team directly so we can provide more in-depth troubleshooting or arrange for service. You can do it through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Eliab sony-global
