Not as expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not what I expected from Sony, even after seeing it in the store. My 9 year old Samsung looked and worked better, but it was showing its age. Even the lesser priced, year earlier Sony (that was delivered by mistake) was better picture and features. So, do more research.

Good TV, Complex Streaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TV is fine, but the google tv is difficult to work with. Plus it is not providing streaming access to the cable channels we prefer, despite what the Best Buy salesman said. We may have to buy additional secondary market streaming services to access the channels we prefer.

Refund not delivered as promised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While purchasing the TV, shop team member informed me that the TV will be delivered as per my timings. Hence based on my request I had hired an person to mount the TV. This TV was not delivered as per my timings because of which I had to pay an additional cost of xx dollars to a person that I had hired for wall mounting. I called the customer service on Apr 26th / 27th and I was promised that I will be compensated with this xx dollar. Till today Best buy team has not fulfilled their promise. Please check the call recordings and as well notes. Today after a long waiting time close to 55 minutes, I was told that there will not be any refund. Best buy is not leaving upto their words.I am also sharing the case number here for reference and this needs to be investigated thoroughly. Ref. number : 356860185. Awaiting for a positive response

Not happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.every time it's turned on, it has to be restarted because the sound is behind picture. Called Sony and they told me how to reset it but that's just not right on a set of this caliber.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience and bringing this to our attention, JerrylM. We understand how disappointing it can be to encounter audio lag that requires you to restart your TV, especially with a premium model like the Sony K65XR70. This is not the experience we aim to deliver.
Typically, audio out-of-sync issues can sometimes be resolved by a full reset, as our support team suggested. Resetting is a standard troubleshooting step and often helps resolve temporary software glitches that might affect sound and picture synchronization. However, we agree that needing to do this every time you power on your TV is not acceptable for a set of this caliber and should not be necessary under normal circumstances.
For an issue that persists after a reset or recurs regularly, we recommend ensuring your TV’s firmware is fully up to date, as ongoing updates can include important fixes and optimizations. Double-check connection settings, especially if you use external sound systems (like a soundbar or AV receiver), as incorrect audio settings can also cause sync issues. If the problem is ongoing despite these steps, it may point to a deeper technical concern that requires further assessment.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your expectation for a higher-quality experience. If the issue continues after following troubleshooting and updates, we kindly ask that you email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following information:
- Name
- Username
- Model Number
- Description of the Issue
- Telephone Number
- Case number
Your feedback is very important to us and helps drive improvements in our products and services. Thank you for raising this concern and considering Sony—your satisfaction is our priority.

Always freezing and restarting
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv keeps freezing rebooting when it wants. You have to manually unplug and plug back in to restart. When I called best buy they wanted nothing to do with me even though I have warranty. Best buy really going down the tubes. This TV is way too expensive for this many errors.

Posted .Hi Terrible,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing with your Sony BRAVIA 7 TV. This is not the experience we want you to have, and we're here to help make this better for you.
To address the issue of your TV freezing and rebooting unexpectedly, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
Restart or Power Reset:
Using the supplied remote control, point it at the illumination LED or status LED and press and hold the POWER button for about 5 seconds, or until a message "Power off" appears. The TV should restart automatically. Wait for approximately one minute, and the TV will turn back on. If it does not reboot, press the POWER button on the remote control to turn on the TV.
Alternatively, you can restart the TV using the menu:
Press (Quick Settings) → Settings → System → Restart → Restart
Press HOME → Settings → About → Restart → Restart
Press HOME → Settings → Device Preferences → About → Restart → Restart
Power Reset:
Turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Let the TV remain without power for 2 minutes. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet and turn on the TV.
Factory Data Reset:
Performing a factory data reset will remove all customer settings in the TV including Google account, app, channel, camera device data, parental lock, and wireless network settings. You can sync your apps with your Google account to recover some of the application's data after you perform a factory reset.
Follow the steps below depending on your TV menu:
Press HOME → navigate to Settings → Device Preferences or Accounts and Sign in → Google → Choose synced apps → select items to sync → Sync now
Press HOME → navigate to Settings → Google → Choose synced apps in Sync → select items to sync → Sync now
Press HOME → navigate to Settings → Personal → Google → Choose synced apps in Sync → select items to sync → Sync now
Forced Factory Data Reset:
This procedure is generally used to resolve issues with app errors, the TV restarting by itself, or the TV not responding to remote control commands.
If you need further assistance, may we contact you directly? If so, please email the following information to socialsupport@am.sony.com. Apologies if you've already shared this information with customer service — we just want to ensure we have your most accurate details:

Very Nice.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've only had this TV for about 2 weeks, but I'm very happy with it. The picture is excellent with very realistic colors and tones and the brightness is easy to control. Setup was quick and simple. Construction is solid. I was very concerned with reflection issues that have been brought up in reviews. I did a lot of research and the truth is, most TVs have reflection issues. Years ago matte type screens were common, but hard to find now days. Anyway, If you have windows directly behind where you are sitting, reflections with this TV will likely be an issue during the day time. I have a small window off to the side and a lamp next to the couch that I can turn off, so not really an issue for me, especially if I crank up the brightness a bit. Two other items worth mentioning. The remote is not backlit, so can be a pain if you're watching in the dark. Secondly, I think the negative viewing angle reviews are overblown. The angle you have to be at for it to be an issue is not an angle you would normally be watching TV, imo.

This TV is a headache
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been buying Sony TVs for over 20 years and always love how the picture looks. The picture quality of this TV is excellent. Sony image processing is best in class. Reflections aren't bad. As a TV in this price range, it's excellent at video. BUT that's where to positives end. The firmware on this is horrible. The first issue is that wifi constantly disconnects and reconnects despite being within a few feet of the router. It's the only device in the house with this issue. I don't even use this for anything internet related but have to see the notifications for wifi while watching other content. It would be unusable if we were using it as a streaming device. The second and more frustrating issue is that this TV switches back to the internal speakers on power up. I've tried it with two different AV receivers and a sound bar. Always the same issue. The TV turns on, outputs audio to the receiver for a few seconds and then switches back to the internal speakers. I've tried everything at this point. I even bought a brand new Denon X3800h and have everything plugged into the receiver. Still it some how manages to switch audio back to the tv speakers. Older Sony TVs had an option to disable the internal speakers completely. Sony needs to bring that option back. A quick google search shows that this has been an issue with Sony TVs for years with no actual fix or work around. Sony needs to ditch these mediatek hdmi boards and get with the rest of the competition. I wish I could return this TV but I'm past the return date. I'm close to giving it away to a family member and buying a different brand. Not sure I'll ever buy another Sony TV after this.

Posted .Hi DanielT, thank you for sharing your detailed thoughts on the Sony - 65" class BRAVIA 7! We're very glad to hear you're enjoying the wonderful picture quality full of natural colors and contrast on this TV. We're sorry about the two issues that you've found, we understand how frustrating this situation must be for you, especially after being a Sony loyal customer for over 20 years. We'd like to share some recommendations and steps to take care of these problems.
For the unstable internet connection:
1- Power cycle the TV and the router at the same time, you can unplug them from the power for 2 min and then plug them back in
2- Turn on Simple IP control on the TV, you can go to settings > network and internet > home network > Ip control > Turn on Simple IP control
3- Connect the TV to the wireless 2.4 ghz network
Please check this link for some other steps and considerations: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00184183?utm_source=glean
For the TV switching to internal speakers:
1- Power reset the TV and the AV receiver. You will need to turn off both devices, then disconnect the power cords from the outlet and the HDMI cables for two minutes. Reconnect the HDMI cable to the HDMI 3 (eARC) of the TV and the other end to the HDMI OUT (eARC) of the Receiver. Power on first the TV and then the receiver.
2- Update your TV software. Select settings > system > about > update the TV software
3- Enable Bravia Sync on the TV by accessing Settings > channels and inputs > External inputs > Bravia sync settings > Bravia sync device list > Click enable.

Do not purchase! Sony Software Problem
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased 2 of these TV’s since 11/2024 but the 2nd one is going back today. Both TV’s freeze and will either not reboot causing you to have to unplug or the TV will just shut down and reboot itself. We thought it was our cable or internet but come to find out on Sony forums this has been a software problem for at least 5 years.
