||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a great experience purchasing my new Apple laptop from Best Buy. From the moment I walked in, the staff was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful without being pushy. They took the time to explain the differences between models and helped me choose the one that best fit my needs and budget. The checkout process was quick and smooth, and I appreciated the clear explanation of warranties and protection options. The laptop was brand new, perfectly packaged, and ready to use right out of the box. Best Buy made the entire purchase easy and stress-free. I’m extremely satisfied with both the product and the service and would definitely recommend Best Buy for anyone looking to purchase an Apple laptop or other electronics

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.

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

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

Just ok. Nothing fabulous
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .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.
