Final TV for awhile
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great addition to my family room
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this tv to replace a different brand that I had for 3 years. My neighbor recommended getting a Sony so we looked into it. Great picture, but I just wish the sound was a little louder.

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.

Worth Every Penny
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Bravia 5 65 inch
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hi Kloid,
We're pleased to learn that your new Sony BRAVIA TV has made such a strong impression as the largest display in your home, and thank you so much for your 4-star rating. It's fantastic to know the visuals are so pleasing, whether you're watching in 2K or streaming 4K content with vibrant HDR—and we're glad to hear vertical banding is a thing of the past for you. If you ever need help fine-tuning these options or want guidance on menu shortcuts, we’re here to support you so the setup process feels smoother moving forward. 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!

Great TV with a few issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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!

Great definition, but was expecting more
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great definition and clear image even during daytime (unlike our Samsung Smart TV) and works great with the Sony Bravia soundbar. Still, it has some "details" that we don't love, being the first one the fact that I need to get a Sony subscription to get additional Apps installed (Samsung doesn't need one). Also for some reason it is quite cumbersome to turn the TV on/off. Not sure if it is a remote (batteries?) issue or just the height at which we installed (over our fireplace).

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed and insightful feedback, Carlos!
We are absolutely delighted to hear that you are enjoying the great definition and clear image on your K-65XR50 television, especially its performance even during the daytime! That is a fantastic testament to the clarity and brightness of our screen technology. We're also thrilled to hear it works great with your Sony BRAVIA soundbar, delivering that intended seamless integration.
We genuinely appreciate you highlighting the areas for improvement. Regarding the need for a "Sony subscription" to install additional apps, we want to clarify that you should not need a specific Sony subscription to install apps. The K-65XR50 uses the Google TV operating system, and all you should need is a standard Google account (like a Gmail address) to access and download apps from the Google Play Store. If you are being prompted otherwise, please contact our support team, as this may be a confusion or a setting issue we can quickly resolve.
We also understand your frustration with the cumbersome process of turning the TV on/off. This could definitely be related to the remote's battery life or the angle/distance due to the high installation over your fireplace. To troubleshoot this, we suggest:
Replacing the Batteries: Try a fresh set of high-quality batteries.
Checking the IR Receiver: The TV's remote receiver is usually located at the bottom edge of the screen. Make sure the fireplace mantle is not obstructing the line of sight when you press the button.
We take your satisfaction seriously and would be happy to troubleshoot these issues with you.
