    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.

    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.

    I purchased this TV to replace my old one and I have to say that the image quality is exceptional for each price. Sony makes amazing TVs and this one was nothing less. It’s a huge TV, a bit heavy, but with a little help, the install installation was not too difficult. The colors and the audio are excellent. Plenty of hook up ports as well as sleek design.

    The 85" Sony Bravia 5 Mini LED 4K UHD smart google TV is the best choice for having a small home theatre of your own the colors are wonderful and the speakers are great too. Inspite of the small speakers on the back which are located on the left and right, they sounds good and it seems that the growl on the movie seems real. But in fact your speakers that you have are the one's that are on its back. I like this tv eventhough it's on a little bit pricey but it will last as long as you own it. I recommend this sony 85" class Bravia 5 Mini LED if you want to have immerse viewing and your movie seems to be that you are in a theatre watching.

      The 85" screen gives you amazing, true-to-life colors, while the Mini LED technology delivers crisp images and deep contrast. Plus, the speakers at the back give movies a richer and more immersive sound making it feel just like a theater experience at home.

    I recently purchased the Sony 85” Bravia 5, and it has completely elevated my home entertainment experience. The picture quality is absolutely incredible: crisp, bright, and rich in color detail, especially in 4K HDR. The motion handling is smooth, and the contrast is top-tier, even in daylight (which my home has 2 large windows in the living room).

    This TV’s picture is gorgeous. Setting it up was a breeze, the menus are easy to navigate. The black levels look fantastic, pretty darn close to achieving what an OLED can do but at a fraction of the cost for the same size TV. Be warned! This is a heavy TV, definitely a two or three person job if you’re wall mounting. Overall I’m very pleased with this purchase!
