Best Television Ever?

I recently purchased the Sony 55" Class X85K LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2023) from Best Buy, and I can confidently say it’s the best television I’ve ever owned! The picture quality is absolutely stunning—vibrant colors, crisp details, and brightness that brings every movie and show to life. The sound is clear and plenty loud for my living room, making movie nights a total blast.
Setup was a breeze, and the Google TV interface is super easy to navigate, with tons of streaming options at my fingertips. Gaming on this TV, especially with my PS5, is a dream—smooth motion and a dedicated game mode make every session epic. The value for a 4K TV of this quality is unbeatable!
One tiny hiccup: the remote is a bit confusing at first—felt like I was trying to launch a rocket to Mars instead of changing the channel! But once I got the hang of it, no problem. This Sony X85K is a game-changer, and I’m thrilled with my purchase. Five stars all the way—highly recommend!

An Audiophile’s Perspective on the Sony X85K UHD T

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
As an audiophile and a connoisseur of visual media, I approach my home entertainment choices with a critical eye and ear. The Sony 55" Class X85K LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV has been a remarkable addition to my collection, and here’s why:
Sound Quality: The audio performance of the X85K is commendable. While it lacks an S-Center speaker input for a more elaborate sound setup, the built-in 2.0-channel audio system delivers clear and robust sound. For casual viewing, the audio is more than satisfactory, but for an audiophile like me, pairing the TV with a high-quality soundbar or speaker system elevates the experience to concert hall levels.
Picture Quality: The visual fidelity is where the X85K truly shines. The 4K HDR Processor X1 brings out the nuances in dark scenes with impressive black uniformity and contrast ratios. HDR content pops with a wide color gamut and decent peak brightness, making every frame a feast for the eyes. The LED panel’s amazing native contrast ratio ensures that movies and shows are viewed as the creators intended1.
Gaming Performance: For gaming, the X85K doesn’t disappoint. The 120Hz panel, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and VRR support make for a seamless and immersive gaming experience. As someone who appreciates the subtleties of sound and visuals, the low input latency and smooth picture transition are a delight, ensuring that I’m fully engaged in the action without any distractions1.
Smart Features: The Google TV interface is a joy to navigate, offering a plethora of apps and easy access to content. Google Assistant integration means voice commands are all I need to manage playback or find new content, adding a layer of convenience that I’ve come to appreciate in my busy life1.
Design and Build: Sony’s design ethos is evident in the X85K’s sleek and modern appearance. It’s a testament to their commitment to quality, and the TV’s presence in my living room is a constant conversation starter among my guests.
Final Thoughts: The Sony X85K is a solid choice for anyone who values exceptional audio and visual quality in their entertainment setup. While it may not have the most advanced audio features out of the box, its performance is a solid foundation for building the ultimate home theater system. For an audiophile and visual media enthusiast like myself, it checks all the right boxes.
Recommendation: Highly Recommended If you’re looking for a TV that offers a premium viewing experience with the flexibility to expand your audio setup, the Sony X85K is a worthy contender. It’s a purchase you’ll appreciate with every use, whether you’re diving into a new album or getting lost in the latest cinematic masterpiece.

This is my second Sony, last 120Hz flat screen from 10 years back is still running !
Love the picture quality, including refresh rate.
I ended up pairing my Bose Home theater system with it. I also changed the stand to a table-top swivel mount- the original mount was not too stable.
Overall, I love this TV. I hope it lasts a solid 10 years like my last one.
I was not happy with Best Buy's customer service though: This was an open Box TV. The TV did not have the original remote (which I realized when I opened the box at home). Best Buy offered me an aftermarket replacement, which I declined. I asked if they can order me an original replacement Sony remote, which they declined. I ended up buying an original Sony remote online. Not impressed with Best Buy's refusal to make it right.

Hello VSMilwaukee, Thank you for purchasing your 2nd Sony TV. We are happy that you are pleased with the picture quality of your new Sony - 55" Class X85K 4K HDR LED Google TV.

Almost a year later, this TV has really impressed me. The image is crisp, the colors are lovely, and I just can’t complain for the price. Sony is a tried and true brand and I think dropping a little bit more for something that should last longer is well worth it.
Whenever I can afford to replace the one in my bedroom, I’d like to go with this one as well or at least something very similar. Highly recommend.

Sony w/120hz refresh rate & amazing picture

Great TV. Not much is broadcast in 4k other then movies and Sonys x85k and models above it have the best upscale available.
If you are on a tight budget, and have an open box version of the x85k in your area go for it, no need to be worried about buying an open box tv from Best Buy, and you can add a 5 year warranty at a reasonable price if you have any concerns.
My review about this tv is simple, everything works great and it has an amazing picture. Sonys upscale ability is not matched by its competitors. It also has a atsc 3.0 tuner built in for next gen and it’s panel has a 120 hz refresh rate which is important in 2024.

Great TV for the price. Easy to unpack and setup. The Google app store is a little frustrating to set up, but once done, it is easy to navigate between apps. The TV works well in a bright room, however the off-axis viewing is not the best. This is a 2022 model, I suspect newer models have corrected this.

Hi Andrew, Great! It's fantastic to learn that your purchase went well and you like the excellent picture even in a well-lit room. We're also glad to hear that you were able to figure out the Google TV setup and you find it easy to switch between inputs and apps. We value your input about the off-axis viewing and strive to continually improve our products to meet the expectations of our customers. Unfortunately, this TV doesn't feature the X-Wide Angle and X-Anti Reflection that preserves off-angle color and brightness with less glare. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess

Fantastic TV upgraded from a Samsung 4K UHD , crystal clear , having google built in makes it super easy to pair with my Nest thermostat so I can change temperature of my home from my tv which is great, gaming experience on my PS5 is great , sound however isn’t the best , sounds muffled and not direct to you but TV is at a great price point , paired mine with a Samsung Sound Bar + Subwoofer and makes everything a lot better

Finally updated my studio tv of over 10 years to this one. The picture looks fantastic; love the apps that it comes with super easy to use. And of course a great companion for the ps5. I think the only “negative” is the controller, kinda annoying theres no numbers on it so theres extra steps to change the channel.

Replaced my Samsung with this Sony television. Very pleased with the functionality and the picture. I deducted a star due to remote (no backlight display) and the speakers are weak (as most are) and will likely invest in a soundbar.

I have previously enjoyed a Sony Bravia that I purchased in 2010 - which is still working well. However, with new technologies it was time for an upgrade. TV Set-up was easy - although, it did require obtaining a new box from Comcast to support 4K. Required some adaptation for my old Tuner and surround sound - but easily accomplished with Best Buy's help and purchase of an Optical/Coax Digital-to-Analog Converter. Picture clear, colors great. Still have not figured out how to go from two remotes - Sony's and Xfinity's - to a single remote. All in all - absolutely love my new TV and the enhanced viewing experience for movies, sports and regular TV shows.

This replaced an older Sony tv. The picture is really nice but the entire family is not impressed by the sound. It doesn’t really have the lows and no bass. Our older tv had much better sound. We would only put the surround sound on when we were watching movies but now we need to use our surround sound all the time. I also hate that the remote doesn’t have channel buttons on it. You can setup the tv to use the Sony remote with your cable box but I don’t want to have to press a button and then scroll to the numbers on the screen. I want to just type the numbers in right from the remote. Also, we leave the tv set to hdmi 1 (cable box) but when we turn the tv on it is back to the home screen and we have to use the tv remote to switch it back to cable then use our cable.
