The TV is great. The only thing I don’t care for is that the remote control has no numbers to select for TV channels. You have to scan through all the channels. To me that’s not user-friendly.

We bought a 2025 Samsung 65 inch smart TV after purchasing and returning a 55 inch Sony. The Sony oicture was too dark and we couldn't adjust the light to he bright enough. The Samsung picture is great, but has too many AI features for my wide, but otherwise we are used to Samsumg products. The process for exchanging was simple and made easy.

In 2020 I made the switch from using another brand on TV to Sony when I bought my first 65" Oled TV, I have been updating all my sets little by little and the last one I bought was the 55" Sony Oled. It continues to perform at a high level and the google software is easy and intuitive to use. Great picture quality and especial when viewing a movie with great film quality.

The picture is really sharp on this model. I wanted a 65 inch but was a few inches short for it to fit so I had to settle for the 55. It’s a nice set.

I have purchased two Sony Bravia TV'S in the last few years. The older one is a X80CK and the new one is the BRAVIA 8. I feel that both TV's are excellent in different ways. The older X80CK is much better when watching regular TV and when streaming shows on many APPS. The BRAVIA 8 has less quality on watching regular over-the-air sub channel TV Shows. These are typically older shows from the 1990's and older. Newer TV shows recorded in HD formats are flawless. In addition streaming content with premium APPS is amazing to say the least. Because the display has no blooming, my family room is darker so I need more room light the keep my eyes from becoming too dry. Lastly, the older set combines Pluto into watchable live TV channels whereas the new B8 doesn't which is why I prefer the older TV for my everyday TV.

Had to replace my LG OLED that was developing a burn-in after 6 years. The picture on this is excellent. Colors are brighter and clearer. Set up was very simple. I did not set up the Google part because I watch all my streaming through Apple TV 4K. A great OLED for the price! I have had SONY before and have not been dissapointed.

The television has quality sound and color depth. It was quite cumbersome to install on a table with two people. Setup was a nightmare. It does not work with cable company programming very well. It is not recommended for older consumers, due to moving from menu to menu. It is product more for the younger generation for video games and streaming.
