Never again Sony – Really loved this tv when we bought it.smart android system works well. Although in hindsight picture quality ok but not up to LG or Samsung standards. But unfortunately worse, it’s now died after only 3 years. Backlight failure. . Sony used to be a brand that had reliability quality and longevity. For a premium price you’re not getting a premium product. Sony is not doing themselves any favours. Beware this is not brand you grew up with. Show details

Lacking Software Support – We purchased this TV in 2019 becasue it was android based (to replace a new Hisense that had horrendous app access). Now that Apple Tv+ is available to Sony they won't support this recent model with a software update to provide access to the App. Very disappointed, shouldn't have to buy a new tv every 2 years to stay current with main stream apps. Lift your game Sony. Show details

Okay picture, loses wifi regularly – Picture is okay, not amazing Remote control, need to be a sharp shooter and have perfect aim. Also counter intuitive always grab it back to front, but that might just be me. Regularly loses internet (once a fortnight) and you need to be an absolute tech buff and trawl through several forums that discuss this issue to resolve. It has wifi… Read more

connection, and all other devices connected to that same wifi work fine, but the tv shows”wifi connected, no internet “ . It appears to be something with the internal clock.... Really..

Also chrome cast disappears of the radar for no obvious reason, takes an unplug of tv and reset modem simultaneously to resolve and hope for the best.

On the good side; it switches on super fast and the kids like the speaking into the remote function.

Great TV lots of useful features – This model has a great operating system and good choice of pre installed apps. The controls and features are easily learned and mastered. The settings are such that you can turn the TV off and be able to continue on from that point, when it is next turned on. Connectivity is seamless. HDMI Ports fitted are adequate. Being able to hang it on the wall is fantastic too. Show details

Just how bad can it be? – TV only a few months old, will not even turn on. Loses internet connection regularly Does not record like previous Bravia. Flimsy base. Ridiculous remote, changing batteries a joke, almost impossible. Show details

Worked for 1 hour and power blew – The apps were lagging. It worked for 1 hour then the power switched off. Sony recognized that it was faulty. I have spent over a hour a day on phone calls, over 10 emails and still no movement forward trying to get a refund. Show details

3 Months on and it's broken! – I got the 65 inch tv from Bing Lee late Feb 2020 and 3 months on it turns of and on by itself after being off for a few hours. I was tossing between Sony or TCL from Samsung when I was looking for a TV, went for Sony cos of the reputation, should have gone for TCL. What happened to "you get what you paid for"? Show details

Nice design but who would offer a 2020 TV that cannot record..we have stepped back in time 10 years.

Almost the perfect TV! – TV looks great and has all the latest bells and whistles on it!!! Usage is a little tricky though, sorting program/channels impossible & USB function very different to other simple TV's. Overall still a very good Smart TV! Show details
