      Hi Masterclause,

      That's great to hear you're enjoying the many upsides of your 85" BRAVIA 5, and thank you for the positive investment advice! We understand your feedback about the brightness; while the Mini LED panel is designed to provide captivating brightness and contrast, you might find an improvement by adjusting the Picture Mode (try Vivid or Standard for a brighter image) or checking the Peak Luminance setting in the Picture menu.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi Pocahontas,

      We apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing with your new BRAVIA 5 TV. The freezing or shutting down when switching apps is certainly not the seamless experience we aim for.

      Based on your description, a simple power reset can often resolve this. Please try unplugging the TV for 60 seconds and then plugging it back in. You should also check for any available software updates, as they often include bug fixes. If the issue continues, please contact our support team for more in-depth troubleshooting. You can do it through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv

    Excellent TV and looks really good. Had it for 2 months now. It’s in the basement, so need a sound bar since it seems like the sound is limited to around a small distance from the TV. But picture quality is great. I connect my phone remotely and works fine.

    Excellent TV, it needed some slight calibration but for the most part it was about 95% of the way there -out of the box. The build in speakers are a bit “tin sounding”, however, I don’t hold this against it for a review , as I doubt you’re buying this level of TV and not pairing it with some kind of external sound system. All in all I have no complaints about this product.
