Product Reviews

We have had the television for twelve months. We are very pleased with everything except the stand tilts backwards . This makes the tv pick up reflections.

Purchased this in May 2020. Was ok up until 2 weeks ago. Had sound, no screen. Reported it to Sony repairs and have to wait until 29th Dec for someone to take a look at it. No tv over Christmas! The button on back of tv, too small to see to switch tv on /off when going through Sony’s advice regarding screen.

Brilliant, not had a problem, works great with the Sony sound system I have.

We are still finding out everything the television can used for.

Good television nice picture and sound good all round

I bought this 3 weeks ago as have always had Sony televisions and glad to say that I am happy with this new smart television.

Quite a complicated piece of equipment that took a bit of getting used to all the available technology, once I became familiar with the product I must say it is the most versatile tv ever.

The time has come. A new generation of PlayStation is about to be released so I decided to upgrade from 1080p to 4K. The design: The frame is thin so the TV was a perfect fit on the shelf. And even if you just place it on a table it will look good with the dark metal finish. The build quality is good. Everything is sturdy and there's no creaking sounds when you move the TV. The legs are heavy and have sticky rubber pads for good stable stance. The TV is pretty easy to use and the menu is quick. The minus is that the TV channels are changing really slowly. The picture quality is fine. The colors are vivid, the HDR is bright and the refresh rate is fast. One minus is that the backlight ruins black colors. The dark scenes glow. This is really annoying when you use the TV at night. But if you turn on the "Advanced Contrast Enhancer" and keep it at "Low" it will fix the dark scenes without messing up anything else. The sound is better than expected. Can't say much about it as I'm using a Home Cinema, but it's better than on the previous TV. I don't use the Android features of the TV, but there are plenty of them. Google Play and NETFLIX buttons on the remote, voice control, various apps. I think it's a good TV for its price and I see that the picture looks better than on the old one, so I'm happy. =)

Brilliant looking TV, even when switched off ! Picture quality is superb, it is full of very useful apps and is easy to operate. I am really glad that I chose Sony.

A great 4K TV with Smart TV functions so you have immediate access to YouTube, Netflix and most catch up TV services as well as being able to load (and side load) Android apps to enhance the use of your TV. Picture quality is superb and great for sport, documentaries as well as gaming.

I recently wrote a fairly bad review for my new TV. However, yesterday I got in touch with Sony by phone (through Curry's) and spoke to a specialist. He was absolutely amazing and guided me through each step of putting things write. Now my TV is working well and I can begin to enjoy it. So thank you Sony, I should have phoned before. I am now re-reviewing!

The tv in general is nice, good picture, easy to use. 2 things which i dont like is tapping noise when tv is off, happening couple of times at 1 night. Sony says its normal.. ok... And another one is wifi issue, every so often i have to make a tv reset to be able to turn wifi on..

Brought this tv about 3 months ago i have to say i do like this picture it clear sound is good well worth the money

Bought it 1 week ago and very pleased with it !! its replaced a Sony TV that ive had for 15 years & its still going strong

I bought this TV and was pleased with my purchase.However when I had a problem I have found customer service unable to help.

I bought this TV to replace a 14 year old Sony Bravia which has been a good friend,reliable and never let us down. Really pleased to have found a Sony Bravia again in a larger format! Easy to use,great definition and sound good without soundbar etc.. Will definately use Woolacotts in Plymouth again but hopefully not for 10 plus years!!

Hard to initially set up but once you get going it’s incredible, hard to complain about.

I am reasonably happy but have a few niggles: There is no printed manual - you are expected to get on screen help and watch videos which is very inconvenient. FreeSat is not supported. Freeview is not supported if you want to use the satellite tuner. You can set up free to view terrestrial channels and free to view satellite channels but cannot get the FreeSat and Freeview functionality. Cannot see why this is not incorporated in the firmware. Sony should issue a firmware update to sort this out. Sound quality is reasonable but better if I use my HiFi system. Picture quality is good on bright scenes but not so good on dark scenes. I see reflections on the screen. Picture definition is excellent.

Really enjoying this model with the wide range of options, FREEVIEW, FREESAT and INTERNET.

I have used the tv for 2 weeks and think it is excellent value for money and great for sport and sci fi with the 1000 motionflow

Whilst sound quality is poor without an additional sound bar (a generic problem because of the size of Flat Screen TVs) I am very pleased with the entire set-up. Menu structure is a little unintuitive, but usable.

Good picture and sound but complicated to set up. Google setup apps didn't work. ITV Hub cannot be setup without a digital terrestrial aerial and I only have satellite so this service is unavailable, very poor arrangement!

Initial set up proved tricky. Initially wouldn’t connect to the internet via my Wi-fi network. Had yo google to find out that it was due to the correct time not being set on the TV. Picture quality is great, but the built in speakers are awful. Bought this TV at the same time I was upgrading my home cinema from Panasonic to Sonos. I had a week’s wait for my new system to arrive. I couldn’t have put up with the in built speakers long term. It was so tinny that it hurt my ears! Hoping this lasts longer than my last two Samsung TVs, which both broke within 4 years.

Unfortunately the first TV delivered was faulty, however this was quickly exchanged and we are delighted with the new one. Having previously purchased Sony TV's we were not disappointed with this purchase.

It took me 12 years to replace my Sony 40inch lcd 1080p backlit tv. The tv was starting to show signs of malfunction and rather than repair it, i thought i would put the money towards a 4K tv. I didn't have a massive budget, so i went for the 2019 tv and got it at a very good price. The features i wanted was the X1 processor. The record function, via an optional usb/hard drive and the apps. previously, i had to use an external box if I wanted netflix, or amazon prime. there is also a promse from sony, that a dedicated app for nowtv will be available. I am a sony fan, so I was expecting good things from this tv. Sadly, the initial impression was average. My old back lit, non smart tv had a brighter, more vibrant appearance when watching freeview. this was a shock. I have woken up to the fact that edge lit tvs simply cannot compare with back lit tvs, for brightness and contrast. However. All was not lost. I spent some 5 hours tweaking the settings to get the desired image. i like my colours to be quite vibrant. but the default settings are quite bland. its up to the individual, but i would recommend going into the advanced settings and playing around. Freeview Hd is very good. Normal sd is ok. But when start streaming. Then the wow factor kicks in. Netflix is great. blu rays are great. Now tv is good, (from external box) amazon prime is great. The colours are great overall. If your budget will allow, please go for the full array backlit version. at the moment, its over a grand. double the price of my tv. Or if you have a really big budget, go for the OLED. At the money I paid, i reckon its as good as anything else out there. And I have looked. I cant give the tv 5 starts. It didn't live up to my expectation. Only because its not too good at processing poorer quality broadcasts. (anything below 720p). This is annoying because it advertises upscalling to near 4k resolution, even from SD. I will recommend the tv, if you can get it for the price i paid. Around £500. The 2020 verion of this tv, at time and date of review, is between £699 and £799.

Although this TV is now working ok, be careful, it is quite technical to set up, especially if you are using a Youview box. I really do not think it is any different from any other TV that is available at the moment.

I bought this as a birthday present for my Mother. It has superb picture quality - much better than my own budget brand 4k TV !!

I bought this to replace older tv ,very happy with features so far and Siny have good reputation for quality.

I bought this recently and quite happy with it's features and price.

Got sky Q and wanted a tv which made the an impact picture wise and ease of use.

Bought my first pair of Bluetooth headphones and very happy with my choice. The noise cancelling probably isn’t the best but for the price I’d say it’s good enough.

Very pleased with picture quality of our 49 inch Tv altho originally worried as it replaced a much smaller Samsung. Can’t say we have grasp of its full capabilities but picture is stunning + glad we purchased a Sound Bar to complete our at home entertainment.

Fantastic television, great in all departments good

Always impressed with sony tv's, good quality and excellent picture.

So far my experience is good if im being picky I have not found out how to adjust the feet of the tv.

Got the tv two weeks ago and been very pleased with it. Hadn't experienced 4K before , I don't have a blue ray dvd player but there are some 4K films on YouTube.Amazing clarity and vibrant colours. It comes with youview built in. I thought I'd get freeview but it's just as good. All the HD channels can be grouped together. The only thing which I don't like very much is the stand, the legs are a bit ugly.You can control other auxiliaries with the remote but can't switch them on.

Reasonably easy to set up, even for a technophobe like me. Good quality picture and the sound is fine without a sound bar in our sitting room. A real step up from our previous Sony Bravia, which was about 10 years old!

Fantastic picture with excellent control of picture quality but even with 5* review there are a couple of niggles. Sound is pretty good but a sound bar is really required to get the best sound Android isnt particularily fast to start and generally run. When you select something to use, say the, Iplayer. the options are Add to NextPlay or Remove. There is no next play menu so really NextPlay should be PlayNow as eventually your selection will play. Currently no easy access (Android app for NowTV or UKTVPlay), You have to use chromcast from you phone. I did ask Sony if they where planning to add them and got quick reply saying they could neither confirm or deny if they would be adding these apps

We purchased this TV after our Phillips TV broke down. After we got it home and set-up the TV we realized that the sound of this TV in comparison to the one we were used to was very tinny. We then thought about a sound Bar. We have now 3 weeks later purchased another TV of a similar value and this is a much better sounding TV from LG. This Sony has now been taken to an upstairs bedroom to use if required?

Easy to set up. Great picture, good sound. Ensure your platform is wide enough for tv feet.

Brought it the beginning of the year and I can't get enough of watching it. The picture quality is superb

It’s a nice tv and a good picture but I was a little disappointed we brought a smart tv so we would not have so many remote controls but although the sale man assured us that we would be able to do away with them I find that you do not cover nowtv so we are still down to three remotes

Bought this a few weeks ago and very pleased with the tv and it’s features

Very happy with the quality of picture. Excellent as always from Sony. Great features.
