Posted .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.
Best regards,

TV PICTURE
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is nice, but the picture is better with an OLED. The price is ok.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Linda,
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on the K-85XR50.
We understand your point about the picture quality compared to an OLED. While OLEDs do offer unparalleled deep blacks and contrast, the K-85XR50's Full Array LED panel with XR Backlight Master Drive still delivers excellent brightness and precise local dimming, all powered by our Cognitive Processor XR. This combination helps create vivid, realistic images and colors for a great viewing experience.
We appreciate your decision to go with Sony!
Best regards,

Posted .Hi SkenderH,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and the 4-star review of the BRAVIA 5.
We're glad to hear you find the picture quality "beautiful" and recognize Sony's superior motion handling. We understand your observation regarding the brightness, and we want to assure you that the TV offers extensive settings to customize the picture precisely to your preference and ambient light conditions.
We encourage you to explore the dedicated picture settings, as adjusting parameters like the Peak Luminance and different Picture Modes can significantly boost the brightness beyond the default settings.

Poor service and communication.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I made an initial purchase for a signal tv, and an installation. The delivery and installation was supposed to happen on 11/18 between 11:15 to 2:15. I called around 3pm to find out when they would come, they implied it would come later ( no specific time ). I called again around 6pm, they said it wouldn’t come tomorrow ( no specific time, they said someone would call). I called Wed. Morning 11/19, they explained the TV was not available and it wouldn’t arrive until Fri. 11/21 ( no serials exactly when it would arrived or delivered). I cancelled the order. I made a 2nd order that day for 3 TVs ( 2x85” and a 98” ), picked up that day 11/19, and installed them myself on 11/20 an 11/21.

App Store Horrible
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s okay. I don’t like that you cannot download any app through the App Store. LG you can download any app I should have return to the TV and got another LG

Posted .Hi AirPod4,
We are sorry to hear about your experience, but we would like to clarify that the BRAVIA 5 uses the Google TV OS, which provides access to the Google Play Store—one of the largest app libraries available. To download apps, simply navigate to the "Apps" tab on your home screen or use the Google Assistant button on your remote to search for them; please ensure you are signed into your Google account and have not selected "Basic TV" mode, as a full Google TV setup is required to enable app downloads. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, KatW.
We are truly sorry to hear that you are experiencing terrible picture quality and slow performance on your K-85XR50 television, especially when trying to watch fast-paced content like football. That is certainly not the premium, smooth viewing experience we intend for our BRAVIA XR models.
We understand how frustrating this must be, and we believe we can help improve this performance significantly, as the K-85XR50 is designed specifically for smooth motion. The issues you describe are often related to a few settings that can cause motion blur or judder.
To help you resolve this and enjoy the crisp, clear motion you paid for, we highly recommend adjusting the Motionflow setting. Please try the following:
Go to Settings → Display & Sound → Picture → Motion → Motionflow.
Set Motionflow to Custom, and then set the Smoothness slider to a higher value (such as 3 or 4) to reduce blurring in fast-moving scenes.
If adjusting the motion settings does not resolve the issue, please contact our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv so our specialists can guide you through optimizing your specific settings and ensuring the processor is running efficiently.
We take your satisfaction seriously and regret that the TV has not met your expectations in this instance.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

We are beyond pleased to hear that you are loving your new BRAVIA 5! It is wonderful to welcome back a long-time Sony fan, and we are glad the clear picture quality and easy setup have made the investment well worth it for you.

Posted .Hi, User570900
Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review of your BRAVIA 5 TV!
We're so glad you're enjoying the incredible picture quality. The "natural colors" and "crystal clear images" you mentioned are a direct result of our XR Processor and its ability to optimize every detail. This, along with our Mini LED backlight, is what provides the amazing contrast and deep blacks you've noticed, making the TV ideal for any lighting situation.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!
