Sony - 55" Class (54.6" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 3D - 4K Ultra HD TV

I first bought the Samsung 7000 due to being a big fan of Samsung TVs in the past. I got the 7000 home and it had the worst uniformity I've ever seen. Whenever a dark image was displayed all four corners on the 7000 had HUGE white clouds. After digging around online I found out that the 55" 7000 is made with an ISP panel...apparently that means it's bad news. After looking at other sites for reviews on 55" 4K TVs in my price range I decided to give the Sony a chance. Not only is the Sony a VA panel, but it's also true 120hz refresh rate (unlike Samsung that advertises 120 motion rate but is really 60hz). I'm so happy I bought this instead of spending another $400 on the Samsung 7100 (or whatever the next 55" would have been)! This tv is great! While the blacks may not be as deep as other TVs, it's still great. Finally I can watch darker shows without 1/4 of the screen having white clouds ruining the scene. The only issue I have with this TV is that the Soundbar blocks the IR receiver, so until I build a riser for the TV, I'm stuck raising the remote over my head to use it. I've been watching 4K stuff on Netflix and it really is awesome to see how great things should look on TV. Regular cable also looks a lot better than it did on my Samsung LED.

I read all the reviews and this lives up to the billing. Great picture, 55" is the perfect size. Easy to navigate through the menus. I would highly recommend getting the highest quality HDMI cables. I have owned a Sony Bravia that lasts and looks great for a long time, so I expect this to do the same. I also bought the Yamaha Surround Sound Theatre in a Box which sounds great. I would get it all in one shot and have the Geek Squad hook everything up and explain it. Well worth the money!!

As a AV installer I have set up and installed tons of Tv's. Because of this I feel that Sony XBR TVs has a more realistic picture quality.

Hello all, Since the reviews are based on products and personal opinions (mostly) then here is mine. It took me quite a while to do a meticulous research about what tv brand features and all the bells and whistles I'd like the tv to have. I'm blown away right off the bat. The tv is very nice and I think for the price 1200 is pretty unbeatable. The quality of the picture is beyond expectation to say the least. Look at the pic. On the other hand, some of the reviews are pointless as you read them. Took a good 40 minutes to set up (initial setup and firmware upgrade). It was very easy to set up the tv on its stand. Requires very minimal effort. The built quality is very nice as well. (This tv works out of the box without any glitches) so I'm not sure what some of the reviewers are actually reviewing:)! Needless to say it is a great buy. Very happy with it, and I would recommend this tv to anyone who wants to buy a great tv. This is the Sony Bravia XBR 55".

When my wife and I turned on our new Sony 55" 4K Ultra Smart TV for the first time, we watched a commercial with a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich that took up the whole screen. The strawberry jelly was dripping over the sides of the bread and we could see the holes in the bread. My wife and I looked at each other with big wide open eyes and just started laughing. We are both so happy with our purchase, and it came just in time for the Seahawks playoff game. We wish they won, but at least we got to see the clear faces of the players as we watched.

I love my new 55" sony 3D tv it's great. Watching avatar right now voted best 3D movie ever it's crazy good. Also have 3D 4K Upgrade blue ray player I'm die hard TV guy my dreams come true
