Solid buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic TV, easy setup and great display. I do dislike the bloatware in the form of the Bravia gift app, but disabling it is pretty simple. Not the best remote either for anything besides youtube or disney plus. Otherwise completely flawless purchase. No buyers regret yet!

Absolutely Amazing!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The most amazing tv I’ve ever owned!!! The only thing is that once I seen the picture I immediately wanted a larger size. Definitely worth the money we are extremely happy with this purchase. Google tv was super easy to set up. It’s obviously darker than we’re used to since this is our first oled but once we’re watching TVs that changes immediately for us, definitely play with the settings and find your perfect picture

Sony Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony TV's are the best for reliability ,picture quality and ease of use . I have been buying Sony TV's for the last 25 years. Bought the Sony Bravia xr oled to replace my old Sony (still working that I gave to a friend). No problems setting up. I put a replacement center mounting stand on that swivels so I can attach inputs easier. The picture quality and sound are outstanding . I highly recommend .

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gorgeous picture. Contrast and brightness are awesome, despite that I have it positioned opposite a sliding glass door. I use streaming and the apps and menu work fast. The ultra thin screen allowed me to have it overhang an old wall unit tv location and still look great. The best TV we have owned!

Nice TV - met my expectations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Admittedly, my expectations were a bit high, as I opted for the Sony ($1,800 original price tag) over a comparable QLED Samsung (at $1,500); fortunately, I was patient and waited for this model to go on sale for $1,400, which I jumped on. As to picture quality - well, seeing as how it was replacing a 10+ year-old plasma, yeah, it was quite an upgrade, though I may not be achieving the best possible picture as I'm running the TV (with 120HZ refresh rate) through a surround-sound receiver at 60HZ. As to sound (which is one reason the Sony was recommended over the Samsung), that's moot for me, as, again, the sound is being supplied via the surround-sound system. Bottom line - I'm satisfied and I believe I received what I was hoping for and had cost justified.

Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a computer tech and iv done allot of gaming here and there.

Great replacement for aging plasma
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really pleased with this TV a month in. The picture shows deep contrast and high detail. This sits in a room with south facing room and we've had no issue with glare or lack of brightness. I am coming from a Panasonic plasma and this resolves SD to 4K footage cleanly. Very pleased with the viewing angle too - major factor in going with OLED over LED. Also glad the settings allow you to turn off motion smoothing to avoid soap opera effect.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great TV, no issues. Color on some channels appear exaggerated. I would recommend all buyers of this model ,and others of similar quality, to take it home and listen to the sound before jumping into a sound bar. The sound is actually good from the TV alone.

Sony Never Disappoints
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Retiring the old 1080p Bravia was hard because it served me well but moving to this panel was a sound investment. Beautiful colors, responsive load times on all apps, and enjoy Google TV interface since I already have an NVIDIA Shield in the bedroom TV. What surprised me the most was the amazing sound that comes from the device, incredible for TV speakers even though my home theater setup on the unit is still the best experience. My only reason to deduct a star was the lack of a backlit remote which should come with a TV at this price point. Sony has never let me down and this unit so far continues in the Sony tradition. Great install and some new cabling in home from the Best Buy team.
