Not a true wireless printer
on February 2, 2017
Posted by: duder12341
from 54601
This printer has no way of allowing you to enter the wireless network.
The automated process did not work on windows or android. USB worked fine. Honestly, the Android app is terrible. I am sending this back for a printer that actually allows you to enter the wireless network so if this automated stuff doesnt work than you are still in business.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best budget 4k money can buy

The Android interface and built in Google cast are fantastic. No need to buy a streaming box or Chromecast because this TV has BOTH.
The picture is really great. I have watched some Netflix and Amazon contentin 4k and cannot believe how detailed and bright the colors are.
The only thing I don't like about the TV is the remote but the voice search button more than makes up for it.

Last years chipset
on April 5, 2016
Posted by: duder12341
from 54601
I bought this TV and unfortunately returned. The Android OS and picture quality was phenomenal. The Operating system is hands down better than any smart TV on the market. You get full google play store and built in chromecast support. Voice search even smokes Apple TV/Fire TV. The possibilities are endless for a TV while still being super user friendly. Now for picture quality the colors absolutely pop like no other TV I have seen before. Only small complaint I would have about the picture quality is the blacks could be better in a dim lit room.
What wasn't good is the fact that Sony decided to use last years chipset /processing so the X850D (and the X930D) is still very slow to navigate. I have an Nvidia Shield Android TV and the interface is so smooth the Sony Bravia Android TV felt like a downgrade. Also, I could not believe Sony shipped this TV on Android 5.1 when 6.0 is out and we are approaching 7.0 already this summer.
I think this TV is still a great buy its just doesn't warrant the expense over last years model due to Sony using the same internals. I will see what they bring out next year and hopefully wont be disappointed by them using cheap processing and outdated OS.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Smart TV Available

The Android TV Operating system is so good it puts this tv far above competing sets from Samsung and LG.
First off the interface is great and you get a huge selection of apps from the Google PlayStore. The voice recognition is also phenomenal. Also if you don't want to stream apps on the tv you can stream them from your phone since it has built in chromecast!
Oh and the picture is fantastic too ;)

Best picture quality and smart TV operating system
on May 31, 2015
Posted by: duder12341
from 54601
Just want to comment about some of the reviews giving this TV a bad review because of missing Netflix... People, you buy a TV to keep it for 5 - 7 years. Why are you saying a TV is terrible because its missing an app that will be out any day on your JUST RELEASED TV with the BRAND New Android OS.
The funniest part about these complaints is this TV has built in Chromecast support so while you are waiting a couple more days for the TV Netflix app just CAST IT FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE!
This TV is awesome and all the major apps are on their way. One of the only TVs with built in Chromecast and a full operating system! It is better than any smart TV out there. Samsung included.

Battery Life and Perfomance Problems
By William
I have had my 5X 32GB for 3 months now, and I have found that it gets hots and starts to lag when I use it for too long. The battery also has to be charged a couple of time a day (thankfully it has fast charge). I have had nothing but problems with my phone. I cannot recommend this phone for any reason.

Disappointing
By robb
bought this TV and returned it a few days later. Picture quality with cable TV was awful, and optical audio out connection would not play sound through my Sony receiver. Couldn't get help from my Best Buy store or Sony online materials. I have owned many Sony products and always had a good experience, but not this time. Disappointing, frustrating, and time-consuming.

Undecided
By Thefarside79
TV picture is great. Upscaling is phenomenal. Android is so so. TV locks up constantly. Netflix opens to a black screen. Have audio sync issues with Sony blu ray player. The black in a dark room is pretty terrible. Of the constant locking up doesn't end and I continue to not be able to open netflix, I will have to return.

Lockups are related to Sony, not Android
April 18, 2016
The processing is too slow to handle the OS. Thats why you get lockups here and there.

Don't buy it
By Adam
I only got this for few days before returning it because the sale guy kept convincing me that Sony in 2016 beats Samsung. I brought it home and tried it for couple of days but ended up returning it right away and getting the Samsung 8500. i didn't like its colors and when tried it in games it was awful. the remote is basic style. i thought that android will provide a better experience but in reality Tizan software from samsung was way faster and smoother than this.. honest advise don't go for this one

Great Pic, Andriod need work, Needs better remote
By wireman
Have this for 30 days great Pic... really nice.. would give it 5 stars but there seems to be a few bugs.
Sony uses this TV and one of the USB ports can be an IR Blaster. This IR Blaster is to control my AT&T uverse cable box. Problem, It sometimes just stop working the cable box. After I reset the Android system it works again.... Really Sony why not an learning remote???
after all its not an cheap TV? I like the Android look but seems little sluggish at times. If you press to many keys system reboots. I love the Pic on this TV its the operating system that needs work

This Sony 65-inch 4K HDR TV is slim enough to place or mount in most areas. Android TV offers more entertainment options, and Sony's 4K processor X1 generates a wider brightness range than typical LED TVs. Use a smartphone to quickly find information and search by voice command on this Sony 65-inch 4K HDR TV.

Life Long Sony Buyer, was Hesitant
By bwnotredame06 from Lubbock,Texas
It seems the last couple of Years Sony was starting to DIp in Quality. I was thinking about going with Samsung. But I read on this one and pulled the Trigger. a month and a half and No Problems at all, it's beautiful and I am glad I made the Purchase. I wish there were a few more apps, i.e. Flixster but maybe down the road, and I wish I could delete all the Bloatware apps that I don't want and Fully customize the UI, but it's not bad. It's a great TV.

missing screws
By missingscrews
I got the tv home and it had missing screws. I called the store, and they put me on endless wait; I called Sony, bounced from number to number... endless wait. It may be a good tv. I guess I won't find out. Also, what's the deal with requiring an Android device (per the other review)??? I only have Apple phones, Apple computer, Apple TV...

Cannot complete setup without Android device
By rouwerkerk
It turns out that without an Android device you can not complete the setup. You cannot bypass the setup 'wizard' pages and just use the TV for an input source, or get to the setup menu for a firmware update. I spent 40 minutes with Sony support chat. The TV keeps looping back to the black start page with 'SONY', and then progresses to language choice, Wifi setup (successful) or Android page before it loops back to the start. Best Buy now has the TV to fix it with the use of an Android device. A firmware update may fix it. Fingers crossed. This has happened to other customers at the Best Buy and neither Sony nor Best Buy warns customers that this TV should not be bought by customers who do not have an Android device.
Is it not time to produce and App for iPhone or iPad that has the same functionality and why do we need to do a Android related setup if we only want to watch a DVD Apple TV or antenna input?

Read the screen. there is an option right below that that says you can skip without using an Android device. If you use an android device there is very minimal setup so it is just a bonus feature.

Great price
By Brian
I've picked up this TV from the Best Buy store on Wednesday, 9/7, and actually opened the box and used it yesterday, 9/8. So far so good. However, I encounter two issues. First, the TV has the Voice Search/Command feature, but the remote control doesn't have the Voice button. Weird. Second, I tried to connect this TV via Bluetooth with my Harman Kardon Onyx speaker but unsuccessful. The TV keeps "Searching for Devices" indefinitely even though the Harman Kardon speaker Bluetooth is in the pairing mode. For other devices such as smartphone and tablet, the TV connects via Bluetooth flawlessly. So I don't understand why it can't connect to Bluetooth speaker. Other than these two issues, then I believe this TV is good overall and at the very affordable price.
