Great for movie nights!
madeline Posted 6 months ago
My family and I loved the TV. We wanted a bigger one than our last for movie nights and this one is great! It looks way bigger set up in our house and the quality is excellent. The home page is easy to get around and navigate and the sound quality is top notch.

I love my Sony Bravia 5
Cathy Posted 7 months ago
Great TV especially paired with the AppleTV 4K. I love it. I don’t know why people are complaining about the brightness. My living room has a lot of natural light and one big window, and I am able to see it perfectly. It’s plenty bright. It can be darker in SDR and HDR compared to Dolby Vision but you can adjust the settings to push it to be brighter. This is where the AppleTV comes in handy as it pushes the brightness. Overall, it’s great, does really well at making old movies look sharp and detailed. I added LED lights on the back, and it helps pop the brightness and colors more.

We also appreciate the tip on using LED backlighting and the Apple TV 4K to further enhance your viewing experience.

Thanks for choosing Sony.

Great TV
KatieG Posted 1 year ago
We compared many TVs and liked the picture and quality of this mini-led one best. (Aside from the OLED which were great but very expensive.) We are very satisfied with this purchase. It's huge and we have it set up with our Sony surround sound, so feels like we're watching in a theater.

Sony Bravia 5 85” Awesome!
ShannonQ Posted 1 year ago
This TV is awesome! Make sure you have 3 people to set up due to the size and weight. You’ll need them if your wall mounting or on the included stands. Price was more than I intended to pay for a new TV but after talking to different manufacturer’s reps, I decided it was the best bang for the buck.
