    Clear, sharp and vivid colors even with day light shining in the room. It is placed with large living room window so the sun shines directly on it, but it still very clear, vivid and no issues. Black is very black, true black.

    When our older 46" suddenly died, we were going to replace it with an identical size and brand. But after viewing the selection, we opted for this Sony. The combination of built-in Google Android TV, 4K, HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision, HDMI eARC, Dolby Audio, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Digital Surround may be available on other current TVs, but all were new to us. We no longer need an external device for apps and channels, the picture and sound are excellent, and the larger size compensates for our ageing eyes. We added an Atmos-capable sound bar and are very pleased with the results. All-in-all, a great price for a major upgrade.

    Love the TV. The color is amazing. It's much faster than my previous Sony TV which is now my living room TV. Love the Google TV experience. Motion smoothness is great. I was split between this, the LG C3 or the Samsung s90c. (all 3 are OLEDs). Glad I went with the Sony. Only two things I wish... One is that I wish there were 4 HDMI 2.1 instead of just two. But I can live without it. I do connect this to a Sonos Beam with two Sonos One speakers connected as rear channels speakers so can't really comment about the sound. The second is... I wish I had gotten the 65" version haha. Honestly love this TV. Thinking about switching my Sony X90J 50 inch TV in the living room with the larger Sony OLED.

    I really love this TV. I purchased it because I needed to upgrade my 14 yr old tv. What I like about this TV is its simplicity to us. It has every app you could possible need. One aspect that I chose this TV over a Samsung TV is that there is not lag between switching apps or going back to the home menu, very fast start up as well. The picture is extremely clear, though it may seema bit dark when one is on the home menu. Yet once the show starts the image is very bright and the sound quality very good. The remote is simple with 6 shortcuts and does not contain many of the buttons, such as numbers and others that many people no longer use nowadays.

    The Sony Bravia OLED TV is the best in color, as it has pure black and life like picture quality. It has excellent cinematic content as Dolby Vision makes scenes come to life.

    Great picture and sound. I have a sound system, and for regular TV, I don't even use it because the out-of-the-box sound is so good. The TV is in the guest room, and the colors are amazing! Even TV from DISH has a better picture, and when I stream 4K or watch a 4K movie on disc, it is fabulous. Be careful when you do the setup, as I have a HOPPER and 4K Joey in my list of options. The remote has more quick-function buttons for Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Prime, etc, than the old remote, but I do like the buttons on the old remote. I tried the old remote, and they both work with this TV.

    I've had this 55" Sony Bravia tv up and running for 2 weeks now. I replaced a 46" Sony Bravia for many years. This new "smart tv" is much easier to control withna single remote than the previous version. I used a "Firestick" to access streaming and it was extremely slow and quirky to use. Now, use of streaming and other peripherals are fast and accurate. Best of all the the picture quality is truly outstanding. While the cost was high, I've determined that Sony products far exceed competitors and quality and longevity making them worth the extra cost.
