Sony isn't what it use to be . But I'm gonna give them another try after my LG died right after the warranty . This Sony has a great picture. It's also a smart tv and I like it so far

This is the best television I've ever purchased. It has everything you need, built into the television. I get to watch YouTube videos on here all the time. It also comes with Netflix.

Have seen many LED TV's before and Sony seems to make the sharpest image TV to me. This one did not disappoint, was super easy to set up, love the smart TV feature AND it came with mounting brackets to mount it on the wall. An added bonus I didn't realize until I opened the box so as long as you don't want to tilt the TV no need to spend more money on a mount. Picture quality is excellent. The only down side is my wife doesn't like the configuration of the remote and keeps touching a wrong button. Nothing's perfect but would buy this TV again in a heart beat. Also super light weight which made installation a snap. Compared to my old Samsung flat panel the Sony seems light as a feather.

Why I bought this TV? 1. Great picture quality. 2. Great sound 3. Lightweight. Very light. 4. Energy saver. 5. Design. Slim. Color. Table stand. 6. Intuitive menu. Easy to setup. 7. Lot of features. Smart TV. 8. Sony brand (trusted). 9. Price not too high ($600 + warranty) 10. Perfect size for my room. Don't like: 1. No VGA input any more. Unable to connect my old laptop; 2. To use Skype need to buy Sony web camera (extra $82 on Amazon) 3. No Spotify app at all !!! Seriously? 4. A bit slow app's menu, but faster than Vizio. 5. Remote control is good but Volume buttom in wrong place. 6. A little expensive.

I have been researching tv's for quite awhile so I could replace my eight year old toshiba. I wanted a great picture and fast refresh rate. I didn't want that "fake" looking picture that a lot of new screens have these days. I went with the Sony Bravia because of the high refresh rate and amazing smart tv technologies. The size is perfect and the tv weighs less than the box alone! The staff there was incredibly helpful and got me signed up for the store credit card. I will shop there again and send anyone I know there as well.

This is my first Sony TV purchase, and price was my main motivator. I was looking for a 48' , in my "price range", that wasn't an LG as I had just had an LG go dark on me after a little over a year. (Bad LED Driver) The smart TV apps seem to work seemlessly..now I can pop right over to Netflix without firing up my Xbox. There are alot of apps..I have only played with a few. The picture has taken some "tweaking" for it to look as sharp , bright and colorful as I like to see it. The large variety of picture settings were a little bit overwhelming. Dynamic mode by itself didn't have the desired picture I was looking for so I spent an hour + going through each option... I still find myself playing with the picture settings. Fast motion is what you would expect from a 60hz refresh rate. But it is 10x better quality than what got with the Insignia brand I returned when I bought this Sony. The picture looks the best when viewing straight on, and considerably looses quality when viewing from the sides, as with most LED tv's it brightens or looks hazy to me. For the price, this "budget" smart TV is worth it until I can afford a 4k curved one, one day. :)

Sony made a great tv. The picture is vivid and easy to adjust. It is a smart tv that can use the Internet and comes with a lot of apps including Netflix. It even changes inputs when selecting a blue ray player or directv. The tv also has play station capabilities. It was a great purchase that replaced a plasma tv that quit working. The only problem is when you use the Internet to watch streaming video the remote is unable to select full screen.

I had a Sony Bravia for eight years but in my household years I think that totaled about 20 years. The TV is on almost 10 hours a day. When it came to getting a new TV I went right back to a Sony Bravia. This time I went for the Smart TV and it does not disappoint!. I have an older DSL modem and the TV works great, even with that. I do not have cable. I have an antenna on the roof and the reception is wonderful. I do use Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu and HBO-GO and they all come in great, Apps/Sens button brings up these quickly . The extra options are great. Guide and related search buttons give great info on tv shows at a touch of the button. I did not realize it had picture in picture which my last TV did not have and love that feature, but I can use it only when the DVR is on for the second tuner. Great price was also a huge plus. It has a football mode button but only thing I notice is a change in the sound and like regular sound better.

This TV is a great buy at its then sale price of $649-- big, great picture and sound, very thin, light, energy efficient. As soon as we got it home, it took only about 15 min to set it up in the included stand, install the included batteries in the remote, and then baptize the TV with an episode of Planet Earth. It was a great experience. The Smart TV features are wonderful, picture quality and sound are both very good. The TV is a bit brighter than my previous Samsung plasma. The refresh rate is 60 Hz, but with Sony's smoothing technology there is no motion blur. We liked the SmartTV set up. It's not as smooth as Roku's system but perfectly fine. For what it is, we love it. We're not fans of 3D TV so we didn't go for that. The ultra 4xHD TVs were nicer in comparison, but wayyy more expensive and we didn't think there was enough ultra HD content out there to merit its cost anyway. Lots of connectivity options. Wireless connection was painless to set up. I like that the remote control has a Netflix shortcut button. There are lots of settings you can play with to adjust the picture and sound to your preferences. Notes: The apps are solid, other than not having a Spotify app. We supplemented the apps with a Roku so I don't mind the lack of Spotify. The Amazon Prime video app didn't work for the first couple days but then it suddenly started working. With our purchase, Sony Entertainment included a few free movies of our choice to stream. The other things you might buy bundled at BestBuy (HDMI cable, wall mount, and insurance) are cheaper elsewhere. We bought the Best Buy insurance but then regretted the price (and couldn't figure out from the brochure what the actual coverage was) and ended up returning that and getting an online company's insurance for the TV instead, which gives you a prorated value for the TV as it ages. The Best Buy salesperson was great at telling us about the TV's features and the competing TVs without being pushy or going overboard with a hard sell.

I love this tv. It's just the right size and the picture quality is great. One of the simple pleasures of having this tv is that there is a netflix button on the remote. My tv is for video games, movies, and netflix (I don't watch cable tv), so it is nice to not turn on my playstation, and grab different remotes, and surf through menus. The tv is very light-weight and the stand is steady and aesthetically pleasing. The sound quality is just ok, but that is to be expected of the stock speakers. They have to be so small to fit in the tv that their quality will be lacking. That is a given. Along with everything else, the price is great. I am very pleased with my purchase.

This is an excellent TV, you get what you expect from Sony. Tons of settings to adjust to your hearts desire with the picture. The Smart TV functionality is good, it has the necessary apps you need like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus and Youtube. I really the feature of having 4 HDMI inputs which you can never have enough. The thin bezels make it more immersive experience as well. I bought this for $448 which was the lowest I have seen at Best Buy and Amazon. The picture quality is great, no LED backlight bleeding noticed even with a full black picture on the TV. The TV looks classy too and you wont be ashamed to display it in your living room. The remote is nice as well it has the functions I need and the Bravia sync lets me control my PS4 and some Chromecast functionality as well. The one and only gripe is the decent sound. It gets loud enough but it is not the room filling sound which is expected from a LED TV. You can resolved this issues easily with a soundbar.

Best price for a 48-55 inch Smart TV. I bought a Sony that ended up being faulty due to a pixel problem. The LG was easy to set up and perfect for my 83 year old parents. Remote is very simple and easy to use. Has a Netflix button that makes it so easy to operate. Good Picture. I wish it had standard Audio out, for theatre sound hook up on older A/V Receiver. Has optic and digital audio outputs. For $60 more then the Sony and 7 inches bigger screen, was a no Brainer. Great TV for the Money!

My mom recently dropped satellite TV service after her town got high-speed internet. She uses Roku and Netflix, and wanted to get rid of the old CRT television, and so assigned me the task of buying a whole new setup. I was comparing lower-priced brands, but the Sony was the only TV in this size class that had a low enough overall height on its stand to fit into the wall unit in her living room. I was already leaning towards Sony because she's been a happy Sony TV owner since the 1960s, so even though the technology has changed and everything about the company and the world has changed, Sony is the best brand for her. I also purchased a Sony BDPS-1500 blu-ray player and a Roku 3. The TV assembly and setup was quite easy. I wired everything up to a switch instead of using wireless because the internet setup is in the same cabinet. The firmware upgrade the TV needed over the internet was easy, and the Blu-Ray player integrates with the setup as it should. The picture is great (I think Sony has really been doing better recently), the remotes for TV and DVD easier to use than my own Samsung equipment, and the Blu-Ray I used for testing looked fantastic (Lord of the Rings), and most importantly, my mom loves the whole rig, and (most importantly) can use it without calling me to tell her which buttons to push.

i've had this tv for about 2 months and i've been very pleased. the color quality is great - the blacks are really black and whites are whites. it has a sharp picture too. there is a slight bit of pixelation during fast moving sports action but really not bad or too noticeable. I guess I'm comparing it to my current Samsung tv which doesn't have any pixelation/blur at all during sports action - that said the Sony tv has a more vivid, colorful picture. Also, the Samsung smart features are a bit more user friendly but that's not to say that Sony's are bad...they are still fairly easy to setup and use. Also, as many have mentioned the sound quality isn't the greatest but that's expected. Not a big fan of the tv stand either but it being mounted on the wall anyways so that's not a major deal to me. All that said the great picture quality and smart tv features are more worth the money for this tv. Would highly recommend this tv.

Looked and looked for TV's for a few weeks. This was suggested to me by an employee at BestBuy over other comparably priced TV's I was going to purchase. Picture is wonderful. Smart TV options work well so far. I leave my terabyte drive attached into the usb slot and I can watch home videos at the click of a button. Was a bit concerned over the 60hz but after research, I believe due to the size it works well. Anything larger I would make sure to get 120hz. BestBuy matched the amazon price as well.

The TV is very light and easy to install. The picture is clear and vivid and is viewable in all but direct sunlight. The Smart TV functions are handy and easily accessed. Wifi works very well.

I got this TV as a replacement to an old Samsung DLP. Opted to go with a smart TV and put my Roku in my bedroom. All in all, great picture, great features (doesn't have all the channel options of the Roku but has enough to keep me occupied). I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, and the size isn't obnoxiously big or small. Have to add that I got this as an open-box item which saved me a bunch of $$, definitely making it worth what I spent, otherwise I probably would've gone for a bit larger TV- going from a 55" to a 48" was a pretty significant difference. All in all, happy with the purchase and would recommend Sony to anyone looking into getting a new smart TV.

I'll start with the TV set-up... actually, less difficult than I thought and if you followed the enclosed instructions, was able to complete with ease, as advertised! The TV is unbelievably light & easy to move around for its size..48". Have owned for approximately a month and, to date, am extremely satisfied with this product. The picture is clear and realistic that it makes you feel like you are right there in the action!

Great picture, remote is a bit slow when turning on TV, have to wait to change stations. Overall great quality, for a good price, smart tv options are easy to use

I did some research before buying my new tv. Walmart price was $448 for this same tv and Best Buy matched it. I could not be happier with the sharpness and clarity of this tv. I'm just amazed watching programs or movies at how clear it is. Love having a NETFLEX button too. I went from a 32" (dinosaur) to this and feel like a whole new world has opened up for me! :)
