Many users find it easy to use and are happy with the price point for such a large TV. While some users have mentioned blooming issues with white lettering against a black background, the overall positive feedback suggests that this TV offers great value for its size and features.
I've been an 55 Inch OLED Owner (B6, C7 and B7) for the last 5 years and am someone who has never, NEVER had a positive long term experience with any Sony Product (TV, Cameras, PS4, etc.) so needless to say I was skeptical about getting this TV. I was eying the LG C9 or waiting until the LG C10 was announced but always had the feeling I would ultimately be disappointed at paying $2,400 for a new OLED that wouldn't radically change my experience when my B7 is already an excellent TV. I was content to wait until.... Best Buy had an amazing sale on the 75 inch 950G. $2,000 for the opportunity to get my first 75 inch TV and so far I'm very happy with it. I will say the jump to 75 inches wasn't as impactful as I'd hoped it would be but at this price point. This TV has been a dream. The colors are very nice and richly detailed - after playing around with the settings I got it dialed in nicely. My problem with LCD TVs is I'm very sensitive to bloom, flashlighting, etc and so far I've experienced none of that. The black levels are very nice against the rich color volume and brightness this panel produces. I'm still not someone who thinks "brightness" is everything and while this is a 1,000+ Nit panel I don't think it looks "brighter" than my B7. I don't sit off axis to watch TV but from my Computer desk the X-Wide viewing tech in this TV definitely works about was well as my OLED does and there's no reflective screen which will be a big deal if you are someone who has a lot of Windows, which I don't. The system had a beefy firmware upgrade out of the box that gave me Apple Airplay and Homekit support, however I own an ATV4k so not a big deal to me, but may be to those of you without an ATV4k and most importantly the TV now supports the brand new AndroidTV 9.0. It's buttery smooth and easy to navigate, although I prefer LG's OS, this gets the job done. I will say now that this TV supports Airplay I can move my ATV4k to my Bedroom B7 which doesn't support it. There are a lot of private Apps I use that are only available on ATV so this is great, I do not need to buy another ATV just for 5 or 7 Apps. Things that I don't like about the TV is most of the common picture won't allow me to Zoom into the picture. I HATE black bars and I hate them even more on these nice big screen sizes. On my OLED I'm used to being able to automatically hit a button to get rid of them. I know you purest will scream at me, but I don't care it's MY TV, I should be able to watch it however I want and it annoys the crap out of me that Sony has greyed out that ability on all but my Cable Box setting. Also getting in and out picture settings as well as different apps is still very clunky. It also doesn't provide a visual cue or label letting me know when I'm watching HDR or Dolby Vision Content. Also it's driving me a little bit crazy that I can't get the remote to recognize the Volume buttons with the Sony H9-F Soundbar. Again another Sony product that has given me nothing but problems. So I'm hoping this TV doesn't develop any. It's the only thing that's really giving me pause. TV also has a lot of "hidden" features like Imax Enhanced, Netflix Calibrated Mode, new Remote, better support for Dolby Atmos (thanks to recent update) and amazing built in Audio. Overall great product, I'm not 100 percent convinced that it's something I need. But I have 30 days for it to continue to wow me. Let me also say after my last horrible, wretched experience with my local Best Buy I just ordered this one online and the experience was a dream. Great Geek Squad service. They came early in the installation window, mounted my TV (my first TV Mount) and even vacuumed my living room!

I’ve wanted a 75” tv for several years and when I spotted this at my Bestbuy store on sale, I bit the bullet and bought it. The geek squad installed and quickly set up my new set. Right out of the box I had a stunning picture and going from a 65” to the 75” made a huge difference. Movies look incredible and the larger screen delivers a near cinematic experience. I tried some Netflix 4K programs in Dolby Vision and again I was very impressed, Later I watched some films in 4K HDR from my Sony 4K BluRay player and they were thrilling. This is the best tv I have ever had the pleasure to own and enjoy. Highly recommended.

By far the best TV I've ever purchased, it's absolutely gorgeous. The picture is stunning and having android as the software of choice makes the experience even better. I was a Samsung TV guy but everyone of them I get about 2 yrs of service before something craps out or go's fishy.. I bought this with the intention that I would have it for year's and the chance that technology will surpass its capabilities within that time is probably not realistic. I wanted a TV that was solid and designed to last along with my other home theater stuff and Sony I think hit the mark. It's in a very good middle ground price range and gives the viewer a immersive dive into cinema at its best. Also it's very good at video games as well... I don't dive into that much anymore but when I do I know I have a TV that won't have the burn in like the big boys and there OLED's..
