Considered taking the leap to 4K before deciding on this model. Not at all disappointed that we didn't. The picture quality in HD mode is amazing - - sharp, brilliant color, natural tones. 3D capabilities exceed our expectations. Only wish there were more 3D content available. Also purchased Sony sound bar and subwoofer that are a great complement. Placed bluetooth subwoofer in back of room for awesome surround sound. The surprisingly low 120 Hz refresh rate does, however, show up in some action scenes. Faster refresh rate would be preferable. TV "Smart" operating system is similar to a computer but, unfortunately, not a very good one. It's slow, crude, and crashes. Feels 90's vintage. Come on, Sony, you need to step up this part of your game. Bought a USB Web cam for Skype but discovered the hard way it's not compatible. This set will only accept HDMI cameras of which there are very few.

I purchased the Sony 65 in 3d tv and could not be happier the picture quality is excellent and the 3d looks better than in the theater this tv is in my living room and even with the windows in the room the brightness and colors are great the blacks are black and the whites are white not shades of grey as I have seen on other TV's this size.

Excellent picture quality, and straight-forward setup. Had planned to buy the 55" version but after prepping the wall where this screen is hanging, realized that the 65" model was better. Have watched several Blu-rays on it and am very happy with the image, contrast, black levels, speed and overall clarity of the Sony.
