Was torn between this TV and the Samsung Neo QLED. I always bought Sony TV’s until about 10 years ago and really got into Samsung’s. After talking with the experts for the Sony and the Samsung TVs in Beat Buy, Both of the representatives were so informative and very patient with me. I decided to go with the Sony. Main reason was because the room that the TV was going in is a dark room and Sony is great for that. Also, sports are also best watched on a Sony TV. I have only had this set, also with the Bravia Theater Bar 6 about a week, but they have both really exceeded my expectations. The setup was so easy and the quality is on point! I have a 20 year old backlit Sony Big Screen that is a 1080 that is now 19 years old. Does not get used much since all of our other TV’s are now 4K HDTV’s, but just the fact that it still works and has never had to be serviced, make me believe in Sony all the more. Get this set, you won’t be sorry.

Amazing TV overall! Super easy to set up, the Google TV interface is smooth and fast, and the sound and picture quality are crystal clear. I chose Mini-LED over OLED for its durability and longer lifespan. Absolutely worth the price—this feels like a TV I won’t need to replace for many years!

The Sony Bravia 5 mini led has been great. I was pleasantly surprised that the glare from my very large window was less than I was expecting. I also like that it auto adjust to lighting in the room. My colors never seem oversaturated.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, DreMenna!
We are so pleased to hear that your neighbor recommended Sony and that you are enjoying the great picture quality on your new K-65XR50 television. We engineer our screens to deliver a stunning and immersive visual experience, and your feedback validates that effort!
We also appreciate your honest comment regarding the sound volume. While we focus on a balanced acoustic experience, we understand the need for more volume in certain viewing environments. We recommend checking the TV's sound settings, some features can sometimes help boost clarity. Alternatively, we can recommend pairing your Bravia with a Sony Soundbar for a truly optimized and louder cinematic experience.

Upgraded a 10 year old Samsung and moved to the Bravia 5. It ticked all the boxes for me. Had the 4 HDMI ports, legs can be positioned in the center or wide, eArc with Dolby Atmos support. Stock speakers are never as good as a soundbar. These are significantly better than most for stock. The remote is not bad but lacks backlit keys, which by today’s standards is mostly the norm. Especially when you pay the Sony Tax, that is a miss.
The picture is excellent. My TV sits in a room that sees anywhere from a lot to a fair amount of light during the day. OLED would be less than ideal for my use case. Clear picture from different viewing angles. Sale price on this model, it was an easy decision. I might not have paid the normal asking price for it because I was targeting a specific budget. The gentleman that assisted me was very knowledgeable and professional. Showed me other options within my budget and this was by far the winner.

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.
