    As with many other reviewers, the first television that was shipped to me arrived with a broken screen. Amazon replaced it of course and I had a new one 4 days later. Upgrading from an old 42 inch plasma was long overdue, and I think I made a good choice. I am NOT an Android person, so that feature isn't something I can comment on. This was clearly designed more to be mounted on a wall, but that's not an option for me. So...Things I really HATE about this (and you probably will too):- The base stands really suck. Aside from feeling cheap (half plastic, half metal...WTF?!?), the television tilts slightly backwards. It's really odd and no sure why Sony did this. I'm replacing with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4KI7RJ- The remote is a brick from 1992 and you have to really mash the buttons down to get them to function.- Power cord is pretty short. Again, if you mount it on a wall, this won't be an issue.- Shipping was slow and receiving the broken one was a bit frustrating. Amazon was cool about it though and even sped up the shipping on the replacement. (Bit of advice...CALL customer service, don't chat)Things I really LIKE about this:- Setup was pretty easy and not overwhelming (unpack it carefully - the metal base stands come in two parts each and are not packaged together in the box)- Picture quality is amazing. I use the new 4K Firestick with it and everything is clear and crisp.- My two cats never paid any attention to the old plasma television, but this one...they were fixated when NatGeo Wild was on...it was hilarious, but also says something about the quality and size.Overall, I am pleased with this item and would recommend it. Yeah, there are better options out there, but this one is a good value for the price from a well-known brand.-

    5.0 out of 5 stars High-performing 4K set with an IPS panel for wide viewing angles
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020
    Size: 43 inStyle: TVVerified Purchase
    This is hands-down, the best HDTV I’ve owned. It has an IPS panel with a VERY WIDE viewing angle and no input lag (more on that below). I switched from a Vizio to this model - a 43” X800G. Out of the box, the vivid setting looked phenomenal, with very bright colors and contrast ratios. I tuned the custom setting to create a more tame mode for everyday viewing. Some professional reviews have stated this model has poor input lag. I’m not sure why they say that, or if the firmware has been updated in more recent models, but I can assert that is simply not the case. I have a Nintendo Switch and a PS4 connected to it. I’ll either use my custom setting (with the MotionFlow, etc, turned off), Vivid, or the gaming setting. Button presses are instantaneous. This model doesn’t appear to have any “dirty screen door” effect. That is, on other TVs, you may see artifacts in bright pictures due to the placement of the LED lighting. This model, in particular the 43”, doesn’t have those artifacts. It really is a phenomenal TV, especially when it’s on sale. The display technologies in HDTVs nowadays are daunting. You really have to do your research in order to get the best value for your money. I can attest this after using a hum-hum Vizio model with a murky VA-panel type.

    Some criticisms: the Android TV interface is slow at times. I sped mine up by deleting frivolous apps and removing any extras that I had added. Clear caches where you can. Don’t rely on the built in guide for TV viewing (don’t allow apps to add to it either).

    The sound quality is “OK”, but that’s par the course for flat panels these days

    The TV picture is crisp and clear. specially on 4K HDR format, use Apple TV or Watch Blu-ray with HDR format to see the difference. Easy to use remote and control features. software has been upgraded and Android software works great. previous model (2018) was very slow but in this model Sony updated the CPU and it's working very fast, I got $600 on Black Friday with good deal, so this is a good deal for 65" TV. it's a little heavy but mounted very well. all HDMI inputs works fast, but the issue is changing the input channel. it's not fast enough the transfer the picture to the new input.
    WiFi module is good (5G), but Bluetooth module is not fully support all Bluetooth devices.
    one of the best option is Google Assist, it's very useful but there is no browsers like others TV to surf on the internet.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice upgrade!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2019
    Size: 65 inStyle: TVVerified Purchase
    This TV has a very clear picture. I have always been a Sony fan and for the price of this TV, it has performed nicely. My only issue is I turned off the function where when you turn the TV on, all components turn on as well. I prefer not to have my DVD player turn on when I don't intend to use it. However, by disabling that feature, if I manually turn on the DVD player, the surround sound does not work and I have to go to the TV settings and change the audio. No major deal, but inconvenient all the same. I kept my 50" Sony since it has 3D capability and this TV does not. It will not play my 3D movies, which is disappointing. Overall, the TV does have a very nice picture but not the best sound.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cord Cutter's Delight
    Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2020
    Size: 43 inStyle: TVVerified Purchase
    If you are a Canadian Cord Cutter then this is an excellent choice. I have had this TV for a couple of months. The OTA features are excellent along with a much better TV Guide (aka Programming Guide). A great selection of Apps are available such as Crave, CBC, NBC, CNBC, CBSN, Aljazeera, RT, Spotify and of course, Netflix. Reuters is not available but they are no longer on the Roku box either which I am a bit sad about. It also has Disney+, ESPN, a 4K nature type channel, TED, Curiosity Stream and a few other pay channels that I don't subscribe but are there for those who want it. New ones keep popping up.

    OTA (Over-the-Air) features are fantastic! Thank you Sony for not giving up on OTA like some Vizio models have. Sony's features are best in class. It's a little hard to find but if you press the "Help" button on the lower left of the remote and go to "Signal Diagnostics" it displays the Signal Strength, Number of Errors and SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio in dB). Very very useful when pointing the antenna in the best direction. It has both Auto Scan AND Add Scan. Auto Scan resets and scans for all available channels while Add Scan does not reset the found channels but adds any new channels found. This is great when you have intermittent reception of channels or, like me, you have two or more antennas and use an A/B switch to switch between them to get all the channels you can. You can also get rid of channels you don't like and Add Scan will remember. In addition, the ATSC chip Sony uses is excellent. Some channels come in week from the US and even below the 15 dB SNR, I can still watch shows without too much pixilation. I do not know what the receiver noise figure is as I use a preamp on all my antennas but that is what you should be doing anyway if you want OTA. Again, thank you Sony for doing a best in class job.

    Regarding the TV Guide, It's powered by Grace Note which is a company that provides TV Guide services around the world so it's not some fly-by-night service and is supported by several TV manufacturers and provides programming info in Canada and the US. I am in Toronto and I can get CBC, CTV, CHCH, StarRay TV (Canada's only pirate channel), TVO, Radio Canada, Global TV, OMNI, OMNI II, CITY TV and occasionally CTV2 in Canada. I also receive PBS, Fox, MyTV, ION almost all the time and NBC and ABC (and maybe CBS) from Spring to Fall. Fortunately the Super Bowl was on Fox in 2020 so I got to see the American commercials rather than the lousy Canadian substitutions on cable (or cabal as I like to call it). I could get more channels if only I did not have a five story mid-rise condo in between my house and the US but at least I got PBS which is my favorite. In any case, all the channels I am able to receive show up in the TV Guide which pops up when you press the very nice "Guide" button on the remote. One weeks worth of programming with cover art and a decent description. Not only that, there is a "Genre" guide that groups shows into several categories such as Entertainment, News, Educational, etc.... It's actually quite a useful service. This is a whole lot better than the old way where broadcasting services provide a description of the show that is embedded in the TV signal over the air. I hated the old way because maybe you got a few hours worth of programming guide information. It's still available but the TV Guide tends to be more specific while the old type of programming info tends to be more general. I don't think broadcasters care that much about giving the 10-15% of the market that watches OTA. The old programming info is also know as PSIP for OTA geeks. Important note on TV Guide programming in the Greater Toronto Area, CTV and CHCH do not provide programming information for either the TV Guide or the old (PSIP) programming guide. They are not very cooperative with the whole cord cutter movement. CTV is owned by Bell which owns a cable company. CHCH almost went belly-up so they are not going to spend any money on programming. The Pirate channel, StarRay TV also does not provide programming info but they operate on a shoestring budget for a very limited audience.

    Regarding Apps, I have had a Roku Box and Roku Box Pro and have been a fan of Roku for years but I no longer need them for this TV. I hope Roku stays in business as competition to make sure TV makers don't have a monopoly though.

    There are also apps that some Pirate cable services use for those of you who are taking that route to lower your entertainment expenses. I don't "subscribe" to them as I am happy with what I get. There are some VPN services as well such as NordVPN and some others.

    I have an old, 2009 sound system that supports most Dolby Audio and the TV works very well with it. I use the optical audio connection along with the HDMI Monitor feature. They talk to each other no matter which remote I use. Thank you for excellent support for sound systems. Even old ones. Only Netflix seems to have trouble with my sound system. It's probably some newer version of Dolby. Mine is 5.1.

    If Sony is listening, my wish list is as follows. Please provide BlueTooth such that one or more people can listen to what is on the TV using BlueTooth headsets. Yes. I like that I can play my music on the TV which goes to my sound system but I think that if possible, you do the reverse so that I can listen while the kids are sleeping without having to buy another product to attach to the TV or sound system. Just a thought.

    An even more important item on the wish list is to incorporate PVR functionality so that we can connect a USB drive and record at least the OTA channels even with only one tuner. Two or more tuners would be even better. Yes, we can buy clunky PVR devices but for some reason, they all have lousy ATSC receiver chip sets based on the old 2007 Samsung chip. The Sony receiver is much much better. It would be nice to have an app that manages this and be able to set future recordings from the TV Guide just like the cable companies. Complete integration. Thanks in advance!

    As for other features, read other reviews as I think HDTV is enough resolution for me. What I saw in 4K is great but HDTV is still awesome. I am sure I am forgetting something important here but my review has already gone on and on long enough. Love this TV. Goodbye Vizio.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cord Cutter's Delight
    Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2020
    If you are a Canadian Cord Cutter then this is an excellent choice. I have had this TV for a couple of months. The OTA features are excellent along with a much better TV Guide (aka Programming Guide). A great selection of Apps are available such as Crave, CBC, NBC, CNBC, CBSN, Aljazeera, RT, Spotify and of course, Netflix. Reuters is not available but they are no longer on the Roku box either which I am a bit sad about. It also has Disney+, ESPN, a 4K nature type channel, TED, Curiosity Stream and a few other pay channels that I don't subscribe but are there for those who want it. New ones keep popping up.

    OTA (Over-the-Air) features are fantastic! Thank you Sony for not giving up on OTA like some Vizio models have. Sony's features are best in class. It's a little hard to find but if you press the "Help" button on the lower left of the remote and go to "Signal Diagnostics" it displays the Signal Strength, Number of Errors and SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio in dB). Very very useful when pointing the antenna in the best direction. It has both Auto Scan AND Add Scan. Auto Scan resets and scans for all available channels while Add Scan does not reset the found channels but adds any new channels found. This is great when you have intermittent reception of channels or, like me, you have two or more antennas and use an A/B switch to switch between them to get all the channels you can. You can also get rid of channels you don't like and Add Scan will remember. In addition, the ATSC chip Sony uses is excellent. Some channels come in week from the US and even below the 15 dB SNR, I can still watch shows without too much pixilation. I do not know what the receiver noise figure is as I use a preamp on all my antennas but that is what you should be doing anyway if you want OTA. Again, thank you Sony for doing a best in class job.

    Regarding the TV Guide, It's powered by Grace Note which is a company that provides TV Guide services around the world so it's not some fly-by-night service and is supported by several TV manufacturers and provides programming info in Canada and the US. I am in Toronto and I can get CBC, CTV, CHCH, StarRay TV (Canada's only pirate channel), TVO, Radio Canada, Global TV, OMNI, OMNI II, CITY TV and occasionally CTV2 in Canada. I also receive PBS, Fox, MyTV, ION almost all the time and NBC and ABC (and maybe CBS) from Spring to Fall. Fortunately the Super Bowl was on Fox in 2020 so I got to see the American commercials rather than the lousy Canadian substitutions on cable (or cabal as I like to call it). I could get more channels if only I did not have a five story mid-rise condo in between my house and the US but at least I got PBS which is my favorite. In any case, all the channels I am able to receive show up in the TV Guide which pops up when you press the very nice "Guide" button on the remote.

    5.0 out of 5 stars good value 4K TV for the price

    75 inch 4K - did lots of research - I found this TV met the criteria for size, quality of picture, and price. The picture quality is good for this size, however I went to my cousin's to watch his 50 inch OLED TV with a much sharper picture - however an OLED TV at 75 inches would probably have costed upwards of 8000$. I got this for Black Friday. The vendor is great, with fast delivery; his price was cheaper than Best Buy for the same TV

    1.0 out of 5 stars Loses connectivity

    Update. After many calls and chats with Sony and online searching the problems still exist and have not improved. I tried a wired connection for internet. It connects that way but cannot stream from the comme on streaming apps. Connectivity problem is still ongoing. Now I have had to unplug the TV to turn it on. After unplugging I can turn it on with the remote.

    HI, Seller delivered on time - so all good with the seller. The TV itself has a good picture and sound. It has all sorts of interesting smart TV features, but it fails tremendously with connectivity. WIFI needs to be reconnected almost everytime that I turn on the TV. I need to re-enter the password. In addition I installed a soundbar and used the best possible connection with the HDMI ARC. That connection is sporadic at best. The soundbar is fine since it works well with the optical output. My Amazon Firestick is connected to another HDMI port and it follows the same connectivity schedule as my soundbar - so intermittent. I did a chat with SONY customer support. Following a factory reset it worked for approximately two days. If returning the TV was not such a pain I would return and chose another brand. I am hoping that SONY does a firmware upgrade to resolve this issue.

    Only got the TV yesterday and set it up so can't really give a definitive overall review yet but what i can say is that the TV is easy to set up to everything i have connected to it including the ability to have my Apple Tv turn on the TV and soundbar at the same time. I could not do that with my last TV. I also do not get the dreaded sync issues that you get when connecting a soundbar to a smart TV. I had this issue with a TCL i bought so it went back. The picture quality seems good but i have not really tested it to its full potential. One thing i do not like is the fact that the TV is tilted backwards slightly. I do not like this one bit as my TV sits on a taller TV/Fireplace stand. I have never seen another TV quite like this. It may or may not be a deal breaker at this point!
