Largest TV we have owned so far. We sit a little closer than the recommended distance for a TV of this size. It took us a week to get used to this “JumboTron”! Only had it for a few weeks so we can’t rate it on longevity. We have owned several smaller Sony TVs in the past and they lasted over 10 years. We still use our ancient cable box which only delivers a 1080i signal. This TV has very good visuals at only 2K. 4K streaming movies thru the Apple box are out of the ball park. The YouTube 4K demo movies give you examples of how resolute HDR can be experienced. Unfortunately it took me several days to understand and adjust the display. I have to turn off the “Motion” setting for 2K cable box viewing or I get flickering and halo-ing. To get accurate “Flesh Tone” I had to repeatedly adjust brightness, contrast, color, hue, frank, and ed! There are several menu, (wrench icon), and setting adjustments I had to spend several hours to master. The good news is I don’t see any vertical banding which was a problem on older high def TVs we owned. The TV is brand new so we’ll see how it goes down the road. I usually don’t rate a device like this until I have owned it for a year or two but the visuals are very pleasing, even in 2K (surprisingly). Lost a star due to the frustrating setup required but still recommendable.

Thank you for sharing your experience with setup and menu adjustments, and for highlighting what stands out with your new "JumboTron."
Thank you for choosing Sony—wishing you a fantastic day! DiegoV.

I wasn't impressed at first, but I watched a YouTube video on how to set up your Bravia and it made a big difference, especially for gaming. Since then the TV has been mostly great.
The wifi signal seems to cut out from time to time. It's definitely the TV. I can still load my streaming services on my iPad and even on the Fire stick plugged into the back. But the TV will say "Wi-Fi connection lost"
The remote isn't backlit like previous remotes from cheaper sets. I gave my old set to my daughter but I kept the remote and gave her the remote from this TV.
The remote sensor is a little weak. If anything is barely in the way, you'll need to move so you can get a line of sight.
The speakers aren't bad at all, but I definitely hear the difference when I connect to my Bose soundbar.
Speaking of, Sony TV's seem to have disconnect problems with Bose soundbar. I've had to reset my soundbar twice.
I really like how the TV auto detects when I turn on my PS5 and switches over to it.
I got a good deal on the price and I'm happy with my purchase despite a couple minor issues.

Hi DamianW,
Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We're happy to hear that after some initial adjustments, you're enjoying your BRAVIA 5, especially for gaming. The fact that the picture quality made such a big difference for you is a testament to the power of our XR Processor and its ability to optimize the picture for a truly immersive experience. We also love that you're enjoying the seamless integration with your PS5.
We appreciate you bringing up the issues you've experienced, and we'd like to offer some solutions.
For the Wi-Fi connection issues: For the best performance, we recommend placing your TV within 25 feet of your Wi-Fi router for an excellent signal strength. Additionally, you can try enabling Simple IP Control by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Home Network > IP Control > Simple IP Control > Turn On. This can sometimes help with network stability.
For the Soundbar connection issues: To ensure smooth communication between your TV and soundbar, please check that BRAVIA Sync settings are turned on. You can find this by going to Settings > Channels & Inputs > External Inputs > BRAVIA Sync Settings > Make sure it's on. This feature is designed to manage the connection between compatible devices.
We understand your comments regarding the remote and speaker quality, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable as we continuously work to improve our products. We're glad you're happy with your purchase and hope these tips help you get the most out of your new TV.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Regards, Dominick

This TV has the best picture of any TV I've ever owned and I've had at least 25 TV's in the last several years. Because I set it up myself it took a little bit to get everything operating the way I wanted, but I am very happy with my purchase. The 120 MHz refresh rate is something you have to see for yourself.

Thank you for your review, DanaL! It's great to hear that your daughter is enjoying her new gaming setup, especially with the K65XR50!
The extra settings and features can certainly enhance her gaming experience, allowing for customization that suits her preferences.
The crisp and clear picture quality, along with vibrant colors, not only enriches gaming but also elevates movie and TV time, thanks to the advanced 4K HDR technology utilized in Sony's models. This level of detail and clarity can truly help immerse her in the action, making every gaming session even more enjoyable.
If she ever needs assistance with the features, or if you want to explore more about maximizing the gaming experience, feel free to reach out!
Thanks again for sharing your experience and for choosing Sony!

The Sony Bravia 5 mini is very good at upscaling - making HD pictures look close to 4K. Given that very little TV is broadcast in 4K this is an important attribute.
Not having a glass screen is a bit un-nerving but so far no issues.
The Geek Squad did a great job in setting it up - well worth the money.

Hi GordonP,
We're thrilled to hear you're impressed with the BRAVIA 5's upscaling capabilities, it's a feature we're very proud of! We also appreciate your note about the non-glass screen; its anti-glare finish is designed to ensure a great viewing experience in any room. We're glad to hear the Geek Squad provided an excellent setup experience as well.

The TV started to glitch and freeze. I didn't use the Google TV portion, instead opted to connect to Roku device. After signing in to Google and doing all the TV updates the picture is fine. I do notice that the sound sometimes lags, meaning sound and picture do not line up. A system restart usually fixes that, not sure if that's the Roku and TV communication or just the TV in general. It has good colors and I use it in a brightly lit room.

Hi BrendaM,
Thank you for your feedback on the BRAVIA 5 TV. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the colors, but we apologize for the sound lag you're experiencing. A common solution is to adjust the A/V Sync settings in Settings > Display & Sound > Audio Output. If the issue continues, please try testing a native TV app to see if the problem is with the Roku device or the TV itself.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
