Customer Ratings & Reviews

It had been a while since I bought a TV (2012), so I was looking for something that felt like a SERIOUS upgrade. This model by Sony blew me away at the display in the Queens Best Buy, but I initially thought it was too big. I went home and did my internet research and decided that not only was this ok size-wise but that it was a class-leader in screen size, contrast, build, and ease-of-use. I’m not an every day Android software user (I rely heavily on Apple for easy to use interfaces) but I’ve found the Android OS works seamlessly with my Apple TV 4K, the Sony Sound Bar, and both Playstations (ps3 and ps4). Aside from the gaming systems, I can use either of the three remotes to control all aspects of the watching or listening experience. There is a dedicated >ARC< HDMI connection that I would highly recommend everyone who purchases this TV to use. There is a plethora of choices in price ranging from $200-$1500 for Sony Sound Bars and I chose the middle ground ($899, at sale price, $699). The reason I mention this feature first is because that sound bar can become your new amp with minimal wiring and effort. The TV itself intelligently knows when the outside speaker source is connected and defers to the better device. I have now ditched speaker wires and optical cords for just a few HDMI connections which are very easily tucked away because of the sheer size of the TV and the handy folding leg liners that snap shut over your cords and cables both sides. I have not upgraded to a PS4 Pro just yet, as I haven’t seen a great justification for a system that rarely employs the 4K tech often enough. And please be assured, the PS4 looks quite fine on this screen as is. I don’t play many games but RDR2 looks immersive and amazing on this display. As I’ve owned this model only for a month now, I would highly suggest doing your own research. But as a recent purchase, I could not be happier with the product. I absolutely love it. Related tips: *You definitely need AT LEAST one more person to help you move and set this TV up. A helping set of hands is ABSOLUTELY necessary. *One of the few quandaries I experienced was finding a great TV bench that satisfied the size requirements and aesthetically matched the display. The only product I found for less than $1000 was was from IKEA (knock them all you want, but for all of $300 I had a great looking and sturdy TV bench delivered.) They look great together. The model was a Hemnes 72” TV Stand. The display will hang over either roughly 1” on each side, but because of perspective and seating it appears FLUSH in my humble NYC apartment.

Had the tv a few weeks now and i absolutely love it! Sharp image, fantastic color, great sound and its absolutely huge! Watch a lot of football and its like being right there in the stadium. Price is good for this much quality packed into one tv. Did i mention it’s absolutely HUGE?!!?! Oh yeah, Geek Squad did a great job installing and setting everything up for me.

Absolutely LOVE IT! when i was tv shopping my main priority was biggest i could get without breaking the bank. This was it. 85' Sony Bravia! Right off the top being a Sony tv I knew the picture quality would be great, and Bravia is their top of the line tv lineup. Would recommend adding a Sony entertainment system for better Synchrony and output which I did. Two things to keep in mind. 1 this tv is huge, so if you thinking about wall mounting it, be sure to buy one specifically for bigger tvs cause the mount itself needs to be more heavy duty. Also make sure to find beams in the wall where you place the wall mount. You wouldn't wanna be naive and put this tv mounted in just dry wall, it's bound fall. 2 I have the tv on a tv stand. It was extremely hard to find a tv stand long enough to cover the width of the tv. The only was i found is in the picture brought from Nebraska Furniture. Or you can find something ling enough at Ikea.

85 replaces a 65 as the centerpiece of my home theater . It seems larger at home than in the store and it’s in the Man Cave in a finished basement. The Picture is great and the streaming functionality is seamless. OLED sets have better contrast but the size at this price point was the deciding factor. When the Tv is off it dominates the space like a blank black wall so it doesn’t blend in to the decor. Great for sports and friends love it. Goes great will the pool table and man cave atmosphere . Definitely not a family room tv

Whoosh! When you want to add massive (seriously take measurements!) and glorious to your precious tv time, this baby is the one! No sound bar needed. Sony is incredible with their quality and sensational screens! If you have the room and money to splurge, I’d highly recommend this beauty! Only problem, you’ll never want go back to a smaller screen afterwards! So beware of the ultimate, addictive pampering with Sony 85”! I love coming home to it!

So as I read through the reviews gaming was the ONLY area I cared about. Let's face it, if you're buying this class of TV, then you're not just gonna watch movies. I run both the Xbox one x and ps 4 pro consoles at 4k 60 frames. If course the Xbox one x is native 4k so it slightly edges out the Ps4 pro in my opinion. Both systems look incredible and you honestly can't go wrong with Sony for the brand. I got the 85 inch and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE EXPERIENCE. Let's face it, nowadays all TV's can do bright visualizations. Now the TV's that can do hdr 10 and higher, as well as true blacks are what set the classes apart. I have NONE flashlighting, nor any lag inputs, nor any visual issues that plague the other brands I found while searching for this TV. If you are a gamer and in the fence, let me tell you, this is an awesome buy and you won't be disappointed!

The tv is huge and was hard to get home even with a full size truck. This tv has a great picture and I am satisfied with it. The only issue is a small dark spot in the very middle of the tv. Good thing is you only see it in certain lighting. Husband is over satisfied with purchase.

TV quality picture is good - the 4K only works for certain movies & streamed content like youtube 4K etc. the 85" fits nice on our large open living room floor plan/wall. It looks pretty large in person above our 100" media console. WE have soundbar installed below tv. The instal was very helpful as I was able to put up our previous 65" TV by myself... but this 85" was way to big to try on my own. They arrived, mounted the new mount, installed, programed the tv, took away the box packaging which was large too. Only thing is its a little difficult to connect / set up all the features that fancy this tv. Like voice control and google. I don't want to link my personal google so I need to create a different account to set up with the tv for certain features. We usually use netflix and other apps via Apple TV .... even though this offers the feature... my fiance who does most the tv watching still defaults to apple tv by habit vs trying to learn utilizing it through the tvs features... but so far no issues with anything.

We got this at the Super Bowl pricing and have been thrilled with the quality and picture of this TV. Best value for the price! We were concerned because we read reviews that the smaller units lacked contrast. But this model has no problems. Kudos to the geek squad who did a phenomenal job of removing my old TV and moving it to another room and securely mounting the new model. They definitely know what they’re doing!

This Sony TV is magnificent and the picture quality is outstanding. I do recommend a SONOS sound bar to accompany it. This TV is reasonably priced and I used the Geek Squad to mount it.

Love it & a lot of my family is envious. It’s a beautiful picture. Easy to navigate.

I was so impressed with the screen size of this TV that I bought is and because it was a Sony I "assumed" the picture would be great. After a month I was very disappointed as the blacks had shadows and it besides the size it had me WOW factor. I decided that I had traded size for picture quality. After nine months, no clue why I waited, I googled the black shadow issue and there was an answer on some forum. It said to check and see if the picture setting was on "vivid" and if it was put it on "standard" or "cinema" so I did. It not only fixed the issue with the blacks but it improved the entire picture 200%. Every time I watch my TV now I am saying "WOW"! This is a great home theater tV.

After waiting for the price to come down some, we finally pulled the trigger and bought this new TV. Man, what an awesome and amazing picture it puts out. Absolutely stunning. I love Sony products and I didn’t go wrong with this purchase. Had it installed by Geek Squad as well. Absolutely outstanding install. U want a great television for a good sized room? You I need this one. Was great watching the Super Bowl as well

We’ve tried most popular brands LG,Samsung,Vizio Toshiba and they’re ok but I must say the picture quality on the Sony is as close to the LG Oled we could get with this size.The apps that come pre installed was nice.Only issue I had was the first few days the Hulu Netflix Haystack and Tubi kept freezing the picture wasn’t showing there was no volume The YouTube wouldn’t play at all.Called Sony and I haven’t had any issues since.The tech cleared the Cache.Hope this helps

This 85” version of the X850G has a VA panel so the picture is very bright and with lots of contrast. The boot up time is about 2 seconds and as far as I can tell, all commands work at that point, it’s a very fast processor. I haven’t encountered anything negative about it yet, so my rating is 100% positive. It’s a massive improvement over my old W850B in every respect (except the X850G doesn’t have a side by side Picture and Picture option, and I don’t understand why, the silly little PIP feature it does have is far less useful; besides, I use a 4x screen splitter now instead).

I recently had the 82” QLED and there is no comparison between these two. I would recommend anyone looking for a large display with incredible clarity and smooth motion to purchase this model. You will not be disappointed. Highly impressed with this “Flawless Television “ from Sony.

I bought this TV to complete my media Room and it has not been a disappointment. I've read in many other reviews that this TV struggles when trying to handle blacks and a dark Room so I purposely look videos that would show black and I did not notice any graying or blurring. Like all flat panel T v's the speakers are horrible but Best Buy had a deal $100 off on the sound bar I highly recommend you buy one. Its almost a must have. I've owned this TV for 2 weeks now and so far I have been very pleased.

I have one thing. For whatever reason, the remote will not connect with my Sonos soundbar. That being said, THIS IS THE BEST TV for under 2K. If you have the room for it, you will be very pleased. The kid's are watching Disney none stop on Christmas break. Size and sound, it pairs well with the Sonos 5.1 system.

I've been planning on getting a larger flat screen TV for the living room. It definitely takes 2 to lift to the wall. But effort is well worth it. The picture is 85" of awesomeness. Wow...The screen is really bright, I had to turn it down to about 25%. Football games are like you're there. I was planning on getting a lower priced brand, but I decided to get a Sony to match all my other TV's & components. Couldn't be happier !!!

This sony 4k tv is awesome. The quality is nice and the speaker is pretty loud.
