Sony - 65" Class X80K LED 4K UHD Smart VALUE!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony X80K is a great mid-range TV that offers excellent picture quality and a user-friendly smart platform. The 4K HDR processor delivers sharp and detailed images, while the TRILUMINOS PRO technology produces a wide range of colors. The Google TV platform is intuitive and easy to use, with a wide selection of streaming apps. However, the TV's refresh rate is only 60Hz, which can make fast-paced motion look blurry. And while the contrast is good, it's not as good as some higher-end models. Overall, the Sony X80K is a great option for budget-minded shoppers who want a good quality 4K TV. Here are some of the pros and cons of the Sony X80K: Pros: * Excellent picture quality * User-friendly smart platform * Wide range of streaming apps Cons: * Only 60Hz refresh rate * Contrast could be better I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for a good quality 4K TV that won't break the bank. I hope this helps!

Posted .Hi WildWestYankee,
Thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth review of your experience with your X80K Sony LED 4K TV! We are extremely pleased it suits your needs and expectations, especially its incredible 4K picture and smart Google TV features. You’re now able to enjoy immersive, engaging cinematic experience in your home. Our Motionflow XR refresh rate technology keeps movement smooth and clear, allowing fast moving action sequences in sports and movies to be seen with lifelike clarity which results in less motion blur and afterimage, more flowing motion. Some models also include black-frame insertion for a blur-free and truly cinematic look.
As a suggestion, you can configure various settings related to the TV display such as motionflow and cinemotion settings for picture quality to smooth out any content.
Press the (Quick Settings) button on the remote control, and select [Settings] — [Display & Sound] — [Picture] — [Motion] — select [Motionflow] or [Cinemotion]
Thank you for your purchase and for sharing this feedback! Enjoy! -Jess

You wont be disappointed.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from a 48 inch to the 65, and not only is the large screen bright and vibrant, but the design is very sleek and minimal, and looks beautiful when i have the Apple TV play music or while watching a movie, a huge bonus is that the tv supports Dolby Vision. The contrast is fantastic considering its not an OLED panel. In my opinion, its far better than anything you could get in this price range.

Stunning Sony TV and Exceptional Service!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a Sony TV from Best Buy, and it has been an amazing experience from start to finish. The picture quality is stunning with vibrant colors and sharp details, making movie nights feel like a theater experience. The sound quality is equally impressive, eliminating the need for an external speaker in many cases. Best Buy’s staff was very helpful, guiding me through the features and ensuring I made the right choice. The delivery was quick, and setup was straightforward. Highly recommend both Sony TVs and Best Buy for their excellent service!”

Great picture and surprisingly good sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace an 8-year-old flat 55" LG LED TV. Picture: This is my first 4K TV so I won't comment much on the picture quality. It looks amazing, but I can't say whether it is better than other 4K TVs. I was shocked at how good even standard HD (1080p) looks -- the 4K upscaling really works. From certain angles I can see a bit of light bleeding around the edges when the picture is very black. Sound: This TV sounds great with the native speakers. The audio is full and rich and there's no distortion at high volumes. Much better than the LG LED TV it replaced. No need for a soundbar unless you're really into a high-end audio experience. Software: Make sure you know your Google (and WiFi) password before you begin setup. In fact, make sure you have Google Home installed on your phone and you're logged in. If you have all of that ready to go, setup is pretty easy. The Google interface is fine, though it does force "suggestions" on you that I wish I could get rid of. Hardware: It's a little thicker and heavier than the LG it replaced, but I imagine this is due to the build quality that Sony has always been known for. If you are wall-mounting, make sure to screw in the extenders that come with it. The screw holes are recessed in the back and I didn't notice the extenders and had to go to the hardware store for some extra-long M6 screws. Otherwise, I was able to install this on my existing mount fairly easily. Remote: The remote is pretty basic but I was pleased that it can control the main functions of my cable box. I wish it had a couple of more buttons -- cable box power and last-channel, to be specific. The voice command feature works well.

Very Impressed…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony TV is more than I expected. Great picture; quality sound; ease of set-up. My last Sony TV purchase was probably 6-8 years ago. The enhanced picture and brightness quality is great; technology at its finest. I purchased the 60 Hz over 120 Hz for the price, but also my last Sony TV was 60 Hz as well which didn’t disappoint with sports and action shots. Great quality.

Nice TV. Great sound sync, HDR, Dolby Vision,Atmos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't sure what to expect from this but it was on sale and when I saw it had HDR10, Dolby Vision, and others.... Google TV is like having an nVidia Shield but without the nVidia AI enhancements on picture but the Sony one may be better. The old TV I had was a TCL 65" HDR set from 5 years ago that was great but it always had sound sync problems. This Sony set doesn't have this issue with my Bose Smart 60 soundbar with eARC that does Dolby Atmos, DTS, Dolby Digital, etc. I hooked up my 5th gen Apple TV and to my surprise, the Sony remote was able to control the Apple TV. Despite reviews online, this TV has very good picture for the price. Maybe all those reviews were used to far more expensive TVs but for me, this set does all I wanted.... sound sync is a non-issue, it supports Dolby Vision, HDR10.... and it all just works great. I liked how the stand legs attach in the bottom by sliding in... for the stand, I had a stand that's 4 feet wide and the feet just fit on with a few inches to spare. It comes with what I assume are Vesa mounts to attach to a wall but I can't speak to those since I don't have such a mount.... but with it 3 feet off the ground, the quality is good enough for me to watch off angle or right in front of it.... but it's all I expected. Only minor gripe is that unlike my TCL TV, the HDMI connections are on the left side... it seems odd but it's fine. I haven't tested the ATSC 3.0 tuner yet but since channels here have DRM on them for all but ABC and FOX, I'll deal with that until that madness ends... that's a video for another day and not related to the TV. Still, this is a great TV and worth the $700 I spent on it. Google TV is better for me than Roku (which I had before) because it reminds me of the nVidia Shield which I love. But for using Plex and other video apps, I prefer the Apple TV 4k 5th gen since it converts audio very well from hi-res sources to my sound bar. Dolby Vision support on that is native to the device and that is just super nice. But if you want to use streaming services, Google TV has the apps and works as well as you'd expect for Apple casting and Google ChromeCast

Great TV for Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Watching movies and sports are great on this TV. Downloading your apps is easy too. The TV prompts you to input your log in and passwords for the various apps you use. Since it’s a Sony TV it automatically sets up your PS5 to optimize the sound and screen according to where you sit in your room. The sound quality is good but I think a sound bar would enhance it more. Also depending on what channels you watch is where you will see the brightness and contrast of images in more clarity especially if they a broadcasting at a high resolution. I compared watching a TNT NBA game to watching the Ravens game on WBAL and there was a significant resolution difference. TNT was much brighter, clear and detailed as opposed to WBAL with a grainy look although in HD. Playing NBA2K23 is great on this TV because of the fluidity and graphics. Wanting to see how Miles Morales Spider Man will look once I play it. Lastly, the navigation through apps is very easy and convenient. It is very enjoyable to watch. I’m glad after looking at dozens of brands and styles I found he right one for the right price.
