Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we are really sorry if our KD-50X85K didn't live up to your expectations. Unfortunately, the Xfinity app is not natively supported in the Google Play Store of this TV. As an alternative, you may consider connecting an external device that supports the Xfinity app to the available input of the TV or if your phone/tablet supports Chromecast, then you can also use this feature from the Xfinity app to cast your content to this TV.

Sony Bravia 55” Review
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty satisfied. TV doesn't have a very wide viewing angle, so depending on where your seating is it might get a little hazy. Picture is good and colors are vivid.

Posted .Hi Timmertay, We are happy to hear that you are overall pleased with the features of your BRAVIA X85K TV. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. Unfortunately, this TV doesn't feature X-Wide Angle and X-Anti Reflection. If you really want the best viewing experience, it's a good idea to turn off all lighting sources as Sony TVs look the best in the darkest environment possible. Light from windows and lamps may cause glare on the TV screen. Using a brighter Picture Mode, like Vivid or Standard, will also help reduce reflection while watching TV or gaming. Picture settings also allow a wide array of changes to color, contrast, clarity, and brightness that can improve the viewed content on your Google TV. The picture quality may improve if you change it in [Picture] under [Settings]. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Amazing!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a birthday present for my husband to upgrade our 11 year old Sony and am thrilled! The 55" size is perfect - big but not too big - and the picture is so clear with realistic life like color without that super high contrast. I bought this model because it was recommended by a Best Buy TV expert to have the most realistic color and the reviews also said it could play old movies without pixel distortion. I've already watched some old Columbo movies and they looked great! I also love that I can talk to it without having to enter the letters. I couldn't be happier! And I highly recommend it!!!

Excellent until it wasn't
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over owned serval Sony TVs over the last 40 years and never had a problem with any of them. I didn't have a problem with this one until earlier this week when black horizontal lines appeared on the low quarter of the screen. Also, if I had captioning on it would ghost the text and flicker. Everything has been great with the TV and I was amazed at the picture quality especially at this price. Just a little disappointed that it didn't last as long as the other Sonys I've had. This is no reflection on Best Buy. Always had good service from them and I realized a "lemon" gets thru every now and then.

Wow !
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old TV died and it was a 1080p tv from about 7 years ago. This is a big upgrade from what I owned. The picture quality is very good and the sound quality is excellent. Delivery was good from Best Buy. My first movie to watch was Aliens from Prime. This is an amazing TV and I got it on sale from my local Best Buy. I can recommend this one.

Another Great Sony TV
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great picture! A touch better than the 5 year old Sony it replaced. The old Sony was an Android TV and the new one is a Google. The Google screen interface isn't as intuitive to use as the Android. The new X85K was $400 cheaper than the 5 year old Sony. A great value. Be aware that the TV legs are 41" apart and there is just 3.5" clearance underneath this TV. Check your sound bar for clearance.
