  • The demo I saw at Best Buy was using a remastered 4K blu-ray and the TV was set for 2D->3D conversion, i.e. it was not a legitimate 3D blu-ray
  • If you have a local Sony Store or Best Buy that has a demo of the
  • (I did sit for hours at the Best Buy Lincoln Center store where they had this set next the the 4K set from Samsung and the near $4,000 plasmas from Panasonic and Samsung.
  • Actually, I think I recall getting a business card from the Sony rep that was demoing the TV at Best Buy
  • Because my experience with Best Buy has always been terrific, I purchased this Sony set with Sony media hub, delivery & set up included

  • For a limited time you can can get 3 mastered in 4K movies free (Ghostbusters, Angels & Demons and Spiderman) just submit a form online
  • The device will come with 10 free 4K movies with more to buy and 4K video clips possibly even a subscription service
  • resolutionsI have not hooked up my 4k Sony processor yet, since I'm so happy with it right now already , and confident that when I do hook it up, it will be even better with true 4k moviesWonder if I should return the processor and get some money back , because my blueray movies look so great
  • I'm more comfortable watching movies in my home than anywhere else, I consider the price for my new Sony 4K tv to be reasonable
  • the average consumer wont understand the technicalities involved...but when your shown these demo clips which are out of this world... you expect you get the same from 4K DVDs... waste of money... rather get an O LED TV

Reviews around sound (4.70 of 5)

  • Yes, I want excellent sound without my audio system because I don't like too much... fancy surround sound for talking heads and other programs
  • The sound is also very good on this tv, though i wont be using it much since i already own a system
  • These new speakers produce an exceptional sound better than any Sony TV I have ever had including those that had front mounted speakers
  • I like the TV sound so very much that I seldom want my elaborate 7.1 set up
  • Its nice having the option to have great sound anywhere you decide to put this TV

Reviews around quality (4.67 of 5)

  • Great Sony Smart 4K Ultra TV, Very good picture quality and features with APPs
  • Beautiful TV, excellent picture quality... but Sonyreally dropped the ball with the 4k technology.
  • I understand that technology fails, but this feels like bad quality control to me.
  • But If you want one of the best picture quality possible (IMO) in a current TV and you can afford it, I say go for it
  • I must say i continue to be wow-ed by the beautiful picture quality and amazing

Reviews around color (4.61 of 5)

  • inky blacks, great contrast and rich colors make the image pop
  • This Television has a great picture, bright colors, dark blacks, sharp images, and a really easy to use
  • the average consumer wont understand the technicalities involved...but when your shown these demo clips which are out of this world... you expect you get the same from 4K DVDs... waste of money... rather get an O LED TV
  • I hope this is something all manufacturers, along with OLED for rich colors and contrast, will adopt in the future.

Reviews around content (4.47 of 5)

  • Until true 4k and 8k content is widely available, which is a long way off, you are better off saving your cash and getting a 1080p HD TV instead
  • Needless to say, most consumers aren't going to sit close enough to see any of extra resolution 4k offers, much less 8k.1080p 3-D Content on Passive (polarized
  • As then, I wanted to spend some dough and acquire a future-enabled TV that I can enjoy for years even as new content and technology becomes available.
  • I am waiting patiently for the Sony 4k player, which I hope will be worth the 700 bucks, and I hope it will have some decent content because the announced preloaded 10 movies are (well questionable at best)
  • I know of no significant available native 4K content (beyond demo disks) but my Oppo 103 will up-convert anything to 4K, as does the Sony itself.

Reviews around detail (4.33 of 5)

  • The colors are amazing add to that the detail and you feel like it's not a picture but the real thing
  • Over all, if you want some of the best detail and picture quality on an LED tv, look no further, but be prepare to invest
  • Less confusing than at an IMAX theater, the details are pristine and there are no confusing backgrounds to foregrounds even with Avatar.
  • Bright, beautiful true to life color and detail that surpasses anything i've seen up to this day

Reviews around tv (3.39 of 5)

  • Really nice TV, this may set new levels for picture quality like 720, 1080, did when they first came out
  • First off I would like to say that I really really wanted this TV to work as promised
  • Overall I love this TV and I am very happy with the quality of the TV.I also own the Sony XBR8
  • Which is what you'd expect for a TV this expensive, I guess

  • The sound is way beyond a regular TV and I decided to pack up my towers and go with a minimalistic setup because the speakers sound so good
  • The TV is very bad for video games and this is even in GAME MODE.You will regret your purchase if you plan on gaming on this 4K
  • You can still enjoy 4K content like movies but 2.0 will be needed if you want to enjoy 4K gaming in the future, currently it would be capped at 30fps
  • The speakers are not detachable and definitely make this TV wider than it would be for a normal 55 or 65" TV

Reviews around image (3.06 of 5)

  • For instance, I have a top quality 1080p projector with all sorts of fancy video processing capability, but even with the best 1080p Bluray sources, the image gets unacceptably soft when projected on my 120" screen
  • The image is crystal clear, the difference between 4K and 1080P becomes obvious when you view real 4k video on it
  • I was able to lay my eyes on Sony's new 65" 4K TV in one of their stores, and I have to say this is hands-down the most crisp image I have ever seen
  • Also, Comcast transmits such a lousy image that this TV makes no difference when watching regular cable TV.
  • Sony Tech Support website says that the PKG4.001AAA released on 23Dec13 supports the October 2013 HDMI 2.0 spec and supports 3840 x 2160p at 59.94/60Hz YCbCr 4:2:0 8bit and 4096 x 2160p at 59.94/60Hz YCbCr 4:2:0 8bit, which should handle data rates necessary for 1,920 x 1080p passive 3D images at 60 fps (but I know of no available content).

Reviews around glass (1.95 of 5)

  • We watched some 3D blue rays on it with passive glasses included -- re-watched Avatar, phenomenal
  • Oh yes, the 3D with the Sony passive glasses are the absolute best 3D I have seen at any setting.
  • The picture is bright and colorful due to the passive glasses
  • Also you get 6 pair of 3d glasses that are very nice passive glasses.
  • Easy setup and lots and accessible settings; Factory settings perfectly fine for most use; quick web search will find other reviewers optimum settings; 3D is as good or better than movie house; uses lighter more comfortable passive glasses that don't require batteries (I have read that the 3D on the 65" inch version is better; maybe, but the 55 seems perfect to us).

Reviews around 3d (1.38 of 5)

  • The 3D on this set is very good, but while it claims to push passive 3D to the next level by delivering full HD to each eye, I have yet to see it
  • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOThe 4K TV is currently displaying passive 3D (with current 3D blu-ray) by alternating double rows of pixels, 540 double-pixel rows for the left eye, 540 double-pixel rows for the right eye
  • If someone ever comes out with a 4K TV with full array LED, great sound, passive 3D, and none of the issues the Sony has had I'll buy it
  • As we all know, a 1920x1080 TV would display passive 3D by alternating rows of pixels, 540 rows for the left eye, 540 for the right eye
