Sony KD-49X8000G (49")

Good TV with good support from Sony – Note: I originally bought a SONY KD49X7500F (2018 model of the x8000g) and that TV broke down about 1 month after, Sony were good enough to replace it with a new 2019 49" X8000G Series.

did not need a soundbar. (I gave 5 stars because of that!)

It is a SmartTV. I am fairly satisfied with it's OS and apps. Although, TV responsiveness could be a bit more snappy than it is. It's features and controls are adequate Bluetooth and wireless work perfectly and seamlessly. The unit has the right amount of ports and it has most of the ports on the side of the TV so you don't have to access the back of the TV which could be problematic if you have your TV wall mounted like mine.

There are some fairly annoying things with this TV: There's a problem with the TV that was on the previous model (SONY KD49X7500F) that when watching YouTube, the suggestion screen tends to stick on screen even when closed. This is some annoying kind of software problem that Sony has not addressed. The only other problem is that the specs on the TV could be more powerful, I can only emulate Playstation 1 on this TV. So I will need to purchase an external component to boost the TVs power to emulate more game systems.

I wish Sony would add the new metal remote controls to all of their TV selection, not just some models. All remotes should have a YouTube button. Why are they taking away the YouTube button???

Once the update was done, I got my Sony satisfaction with picture and sound. TV remote very old style . It does have… Read more

Netflix button so you can quickly access to Netflix but it doesn’t have the YouTube button . My first Sony TV I bought 5 years ago and I had a Samsung TV in between. It’s sad to see Sony couldn’t improve on their remote.

Why can’t Sony make small smart remote like Samsung???
