Beautiful
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is great. It was esay to set up. This is my first Sony TV ... because they typically are more expensive than models with simialr specs. During the unboxing and mounting the quality of product was very evident. Becasue I've separated from dependence on cable it was important to me to have a TV that supported 5G versus 2.4G which is what I was finding with many other brands Looking forward to many years of enjoyment

Best TV Ever!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I couldn't be more excited about a TV! My new Sony OLED looks great in my living room and offers the best, most colorful picture I have experienced! I am especially impressed with the full screen sound. I had planned on buying a separate sound bar, but was not necessary. TV was expensive but worth every penny!

Completely Blown Away!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After experiencing burn-in and returning a 55" TCL LED (6 series), I decided to take the leap and get the TV I originally wanted. I knew this was a crazy amount of money in relation to the TCL, however after experiencing them both, I can only say, wow! This TV has completely and utterly blown me out of the water! After deciding to upgrade to 4k for the first time after feeling spoiled watching my 42" Pioneer Kuro Plasma for well over 10 years, I knew it would take a lot to impress me. This Sony OLED exceeds all of my expectations, and then some, and to me, is totally worth the extra money. No ghosting, deep blacks (as deep as I had with my plasma), fantastic speakers (through the screen!) and a picture that is just mind-blowing. I've got this bad boy mounted on my wall and it looks like a work of art!

Great OLED Smart TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this Sony OLED Smart TV. Excellent picture quality. The sound comes right out of the screen so no real need for a sound bar. You can still add a sound bar, but I have mine mounted above my fireplace and the sound still fills up the room. Highly recommend this TV.

An amazing oled TV just as good as LG
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This will be my second Oled TV in my house as an addition to my LG. I like the Sony better due to it's Android TV user interface is a lot easier to use! I'm a wedding cinematographer and I love how accurate the colors and detail this TV has. I definitely recommend the buying the extended warranty from best buy as TV manufacturers don't know how to fix tvs no matter what brand you buy. All they know how to do is sell.

Sony TV Best Picture Great Sound

It has the google assistant which my google home device will operate its sound and additional special features. Having a FIOS TV Sound Remote will give full operation to this Sony TV.

Answered by Slim
Q: QuestionI had my TV installed by the contractor doing my house renovation. They hooked my TV up to HDMI #1 and I only get 1080p picture. How can I correct this? It's plugged into the HDMI port on the back on the bottom left side bottom plug. Comcast Cable.
Asked by NonTechMan.
- A:Answer You will need to make sure the video source is 4K. Using Comcast/Xfinity you will need to upgrade your cable box to a new unit that can deliver a 4K signal. Also make sure you are using a high quality HDMI cable. You should also know that there is very limited 4K content available on cable.
