Awesome Streaming Google T.V.
Tommy Posted
I recently cut the cord with my cable company since the monthly charges were really starting to get outrageous. I was on the hunt for a television that would make it easy for me to transition to more of a streaming service but still have the same features and functions of a normal cable setup. When I stumbled across this T.V., I decided to pull the trigger on it based on the features and functionality. The T.V. itself is great. I got the 55-inch version, and it fits perfectly on the wall with the television mount which I also bought from Best Buy. As soon as I turned it on, it started the setup process to connect to my Google Home system which was seamless and connected almost instantly through each step of the process. Once I had everything set up and connected to my Wi-Fi, I have not seen any lag or any instances of where the T.V. was trying to connect to the internet like some other reviewers have mentioned. The router for my internet is actually placed far away from the television downstairs on the first floor and I still get a good signal strength to the television. I am able to access and watch anything on YouTube as well as YouTube TV which I have a paid subscription for. I also added an Amazon Firestick Max to the back of it since this television has Dolby Sound capabilities, the Firestick Max has been the perfect addition for this television as I have all of my apps in once place and can easily switch between them without much effort. Overall, the television is a great addition to our home and also saves us a ton of money each month versus having old school traditional cable.

Very good. Could do without google tv though.
Youraveragejoe Posted
Product does good. The quality of its speakers caught me off guard.Doesn't run hot and is overall much better in every way compared to the 480p magnavox i replaced with this. Despite the previous tv setting the bar pretty low my one gripe may be the interface. While it isnt bad, im just used to the ol reliable tcl roku platform. Im personally not used to google tv and I had a conniption trying to make chromecast work to mirror my phone screen as opposed to not needing any kind of setup with other non google tv smart tvs ive used. But thats just me personally. The tv itself looks great. Just not a fan of needing chromecast to mirror my screen.

Good Purchase
Noname Posted
Definitely a good purchase. Picture quality is excellent. I paired this tv with a soundbar to get richer sounds though. Easy to set up. The problem I have is some apps like peacock or hulu lag a little bit when opening. Peacock is notoriously slow on all my devices though so I can't say it's only related to this tv. I just thought it would be smoother for the price I paid for this tv. I've had this tv for about a month and it froze a couple times. The only fix I know is to unplug it and plug it back in. I haven't figured how to link my soundbar to my tv, where it will power on when I power on my tv. My Fire Tv has that option in the settings. All in all a quality tv.

Love it!!
DLow Posted
Most crystal clear, big, light weight, amazing flat screen I have ever purchased. I love the warranty and that the legs are not as wide so it’s able to fit on any size table or stand. Love no issues this far!! Great work! Love the brightness how it sets up with the lighting in the room. Picture quality is almost like I can walk through the screen itself. Addicted to this tv.

Ultimate Gaming Experience on a Budget!
Hrishi Posted
Ultimate Gaming Experience on a Budget! I recently acquired the Sony - 55" Class X80K LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV, and I couldn't be happier, especially as a gamer with a PS5. This TV delivers an exceptional gaming experience without breaking the bank, making it an ideal choice for budget-conscious individuals who crave top-notch performance. The 4K UHD resolution and vibrant colors make gaming on my PS5 a visual feast. The graphics are sharp, and the HDR support adds depth to the visuals, bringing games to life in a way that's truly immersive. The 55" screen size provides the perfect canvas for gaming, offering a cinematic feel that enhances the overall gaming atmosphere. The low input lag and high refresh rate of this TV ensure smooth gameplay, crucial for competitive gaming. I've experienced no noticeable lag, making it a joy to play fast-paced and action-packed games on my PS5. The responsiveness is impressive, and it has significantly elevated my gaming sessions. The built-in speakers provide decent audio, but I couldn't help but wish for a bit more richness and depth, especially during intense movie scenes or gaming sessions. However, investing in a soundbar can easily elevate the audio experience to match the stunning visuals. While the audio is clear, the TV's slim design may limit the space available for powerful built-in speakers.Switching between gaming and other entertainment options is seamless, thanks to the Smart Google TV interface. The integration of Google Assistant also allows for hands-free control, making it even more convenient to navigate through different gaming and streaming apps. For fellow gamers on a budget, I wholeheartedly recommend the Sony X80K LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV. It not only meets the specifications required for a fantastic gaming experience but also provides excellent value for money. If you own a PS5 or any gaming console, this TV is a game-changer. In conclusion, the Sony X80K has proven to be the perfect companion for my gaming adventures, and I'm thrilled with the performance it offers. Whether you're a gamer or simply looking for an affordable yet high-quality TV, the Sony X80K is a solid choice that won't disappoint. Grab this TV and elevate your gaming setup without breaking the bank!

Came from a Samsung. Definitely Staying with Sony!
Eron Posted
OLED is nice, but I don't wanna worry about screen burn in, especially with the many hours i watch. So I went with the X80K, which has great picture quality! The audio is decent, so I'll get a sound bar. Also, I film in 4k for my channel, so why not watch in 4K HDR too! I'm definitely happy with my new Sony TV and I'm staying with Sony for sure!

Sony wins!
Jeff Posted
We have been Samsung fans for many years. We chose the Sony because the picture quality was superior in our opinion. This is our first Smart TV and was very easy to set up. We thought about adding a sound bar but the quality of the speakers are great for our use. If that changes we can always add one easily. We have this sitting on our entertainment center and the stand legs are VERY sturdy. Quite happy with our new Sony.

I had a Sony tv that worked really well but it wasn’t smart so I decided to finally (after 11 years)to replace it! I am very satisfied with my new Sony, I got a bigger size, colors are sharp and I would definitely recommend it to everybody who is looking for a good tv. There are so many brands and prices but I feel very confident about Sony so I bought the same brand!

Love love love my Sony Google TV. I got the 55' and it's perfect for my space. The setup was so easy since I already have Google home account and the picture is great. One of my favorite things is the ambient/ picture backgrounds when it's idle. I'd absolutely recommend from Best buy, They are the best when it comes to service.
