Sony - 55" Class (54.6" Diag.) - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV with High Dynamic Range

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing my TV and after comparing final details and prices with my BB sales person bought the 55" Sony. I purchased Sony soundbar, PlayStation new router and universal remote and the Geek Squad came out and totally mounted on my wall, including wiring in the wall so no ugly cords hanging, programmed and networked everything and spent time teaching me how to use it all. I'm completely happy with the picture and the whole system! Simple enough for a nontechnical person like me, who still wants great sound and versatility between TV, games, DVR, DVDs and music. Now I can watch the ID channel in every creepy detail Special thanks to my BB sales team and GEEKS :)

Sony has made a TV with great picture and a clean bezel. Blu-ray movies look great. Haven't tried 4k yet. Very pleased with our purchase. Integrates well with Sony Blu-Ray player and with your wi-fi connection. Stream movies from your computer easily. Chromecast is integrated into this TV. Channel Guide is more comprehensive than your cable providers guide. It includes Cast/Crew, Ratings and Related Content for each show. There are a few cons. -The external power supply is hard to wall mount and keep hidden. It also comes with a very short power cable. -The IR remote requires external "eyeball" type sensors to be mounted somewhere. Also not easy to hide while still giving a clean appearance. The (2) sensors come with sticky backing to attach somewhere, and have fallen off numerous times. -The tv channel guide integrated within the remote doesn't page up/page down and does not automatically go to the channel you are currently on. Besides those things, if you are looking for a TV with great picture and reasonable price this is a good option.

I have been wanting to replace my existing 2007 47" 1080p Vizio for some time now and have been researching a replacement that met my current requirements. Primary goal being, a family room HDTV that had excellent side viewing angles due to our unique room situation shared with an overlooking kitchen area. This requires an IPS panel that will have lower contrast numbers but will maintain color accuracy viewing from different angles. This Sony had one of the highest IPS panel contrast ratings. Used "rtings.com" as the primary information site for comparing numerous makes and models. And if I had a home theater room, then I would have selected a model that had a VA panel with much higher contrast ratios but extremely limited side viewing angles. Regardless, it would have been a Sony. The price point for this HDTV was more than some and less than others but it was the reviews from this site, and many others, that changed my mind from an LG or Samsung, to the Sony. Couldn't be happier! Didn't think I would use the online internet surfing feature, but found I do enjoy surfing with the MIC feature. The one downside to this HDTV, is the low quality speakers. But I knew that going before buying and will supplement with a high end sound bar, sound base, or 5.2 receiver (still researching those). Caught this on sale and saved another $100 and used the BB free deliver service. Will add that the BB delivery team of 2 plus a supervisor were prompt, professional, and keep me updated on the delivery schedule. Got to love that!

I think this TV is great. The picture and quality along with the color is so crisp and clear!! Wonderful investment in a Sony product! I included a photo of someone on the television to see just how great the picture is.

Great TV....Wonderful picture and sound. So glad I purchased this television. Have never owned a Sony and I am so happy with this one. Totally would recommend this to anyone who wants a high quality TV.

Picture quality =great. Crisp and clear on regular tv as well as 4K. Good sound..had to add a center channel to hear well. Great color. Love the voice search feature. Easy to use once you take a moment to look at the remote. It makes sense which is good.

This is an amazing tv, the picture quality is beautiful. However within the first week of purchase we noticed the remote control stopped working. I called Sony's customer service line and after 30 minutes on the phone troubleshooting we had the problem resolved. So I thought. The tv worked for a couple of days and then randomly out of the blue it let out an ear piercing screech (that's the best way I can describe the sound) the screen turned a scratchy green color for approximately 20 seconds and then it died. It attempted to reboot on its own but would not fully load unless we unplugged the power source and rebooted that way. After this happened I called customer service back only to be told they would have to call me back. That call never came. So the holidays came and went and we were busy so I figured I would call after. The tv kept doing this same quit/restart at least a dozen times. I finally called again, and after over an hour this time explaining my issue they transferred me to the warranty dept. I was required to submit pictures of the tv, which I did, but it's hard to see the issue when all the picture showed was a dead tv. They denied my claim. So I waited.... I left my phone open on the camera app and sat for two hours waiting until it finally did it again. This time I was ready. I took a video of the tv "dying" as I call it. This finally was enough to satisfy Sony to send me a replacement, which I'm satisfied with so long as this new one works properly. We shall see.

For a little more money, the Sony picture is better than Samsung or Visio. Blacks are blacker like the old plasma TVs. Clarity is exceptional. The set up was terrific. My only complaint: the TV stand is impossible to put together. Just don't try and call the 800 number. The instructions are drawings only. There is no narrative. "Step one- do this." Gee, the only reason to leave that off is because there are so many languages to cover. Directions for TV stand get a failing grade. TV is an Aplus.
