Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • On the plus side, the picture looks great, it's big, and the price is decent
  • Thats a great price point, others have been a dumb 49" for less than $500 by phillips, a 49" smart for $650 by LG, and a $1050 smart Samsung
  • Price was outstanding just because it was last years model.
  • For the great price I got from Amazon can't complaint that much either !!
  • I would buy this set in a heartbeat if it was at the more reasonable price of $500, but for what they are charging it is a non-starter as there are just too many better options out now

Reviews around set (5.00 of 5)

  • Great size for a rec room or wall mount where a larger TV won"t fit
  • It's a great set, but one of the reasons I bought it is because it says it can be controlled by Amazon Echo
  • Great Picture and easy set upOnly soundbar to connect via Bluetooth appears to be a
  • The picture quality is excellent (ignore those Consumer Reports comments about the LCD/LED sets not having dark blacks)
  • With the IR blaster cable included, you can just set the cable end in front of your set top box and use the Sony remote for everything.

Reviews around access (5.00 of 5)

  • This TV uses an IPS panel, not VA, and as a result, the blacks are really not as good as on the older version
  • Wonderful picture / clarity, easy to use, love the voice control, access to all apps
  • It's a solid feeling unit, and was easy to mount on the wall, with easy access to all connections
  • I want to be able to show the apps I want and have easier access to the Xbox, etc
  • Wonderful picture / clarity, easy to use, love the voice control, access to all apps

Reviews around buy (5.00 of 5)

  • Went to the Best Buy store and found a perfect set, the Samsung 49" set, but the stand was too wide for our entertainment unit
  • First off, I'm coming to this TV straight from a 2009-model Insignia television from Best Buy
  • Great TV, wish I could get rid of the Sony recommend things but overall great buy

Reviews around sound (4.59 of 5)

  • I love it so far, great picture and sound for the price
  • I had it mounted sounds good if you want to lay on the floor beneath it
  • Sound is good enough to not need a sound bar in my bedroom, past TVs sound was always terrible
  • Cons:-The sound needed a sound bar to be decent.-Lackluster smart home integration
  • The picture quality is first rate and the sound is adequate.

Reviews around quality (4.33 of 5)

  • The Sound quality is good (I checked before I hooked it up to a sound bar system)
  • The sound quality is not very good, but it's not worse than any other flat screen TV
  • Overall (3.5/5), the superb quality of the visual, audio, and design of this tv (in my mind) overshadow the flaws that are found in the interface
  • It didn't help, so they asked me to submit examples of the poor quality and gave me a format with which to do it.
  • Fine hardware, good picture quality, severely let down by Android TV or more specifically its app launcher

Reviews around color (4.16 of 5)

  • Side visibility is excellent and improved over the X800D. Dark colors are dark
  • No distinction between dark colors.
  • Reddit has a pinned thread for Bravia owners that helped me head off any impending slowdown with age, or bloatware included.(My changes made were to set animations to 0.5x but leave the animation speed at normal; it still looks pretty smooth for scrolling.)Upscaling from 480i, 720p, 1080p and so on is REALLY GOOD.4K HDR (based on my watching "The Grand Tour [Ultra HD]" on Amazon Video) shows a definite difference in improved contrast and colors, in my book
  • Not pure black, mind, so OLED-pampered eyes might not like it so well, but for me it makes better sense to have good colors and comfortable viewing angle (even nearly side
  • Great color handling, vivid images, appropriate contrast, and smooth motion handling

Reviews around size (4.16 of 5)

  • Great size for a rec room or wall mount where a larger TV won"t fit
  • Just the right size for my living room and love the colors it deliver.
  • Back to the picture, it really good, and considering the size, price and software of this machine - i doubt you can find a better deal right now.
  • 43inch was actually bigger than I thought.....just the right size

Reviews around design (3.86 of 5)

  • The 43 inch size is great, and actually appears "larger" than it is, because of the sleek design, I bought this TV for my living room, and I am relegated to no more than 43 inches, due to the size of the wall it hangs on
  • So this time, I am going with another TV that has a cleaner design, faster menu, cleaner RF! remote and more simplicity
  • The picture is the best of its price range but the interactive design is pitiful.

Reviews around software (2.28 of 5)

  • The software is just so awful that I HATE using this TV
  • Great TV w/ beautiful picture
  • Great size for a rec room or wall mount where a larger TV won"t fit
  • Android TV just sweetens the pot just that much more, and won't be outdated like the other smart TVs that use closed off proprietary software or OS setups
  • This TV uses an IPS panel, not VA, and as a result, the blacks are really not as good as on the older version

  • I have had a hard time getting out of the menus every time that I go into them, trying to remember how to get out.
  • And design (i.e. remote) are a really big factor for me in today's time as well
  • Great size for a rec room or wall mount where a larger TV won"t fit
  • I have had the worst time getting this TV to work with Apple TV 4K. I have returned the Spple product only to have the replacement do the same thing
  • Lag Time with remote control (slow)All in All, I highly recommend this TV
