Immerse yourself in full-array contrast and full 4K HDMI with this Sony HDR Ultra TV. Five times dynamic range brings every bit of the action into sharp relief, whether you're gaming or streaming live events. This Sony HDR Ultra TV is compatible with PlayStation Vue for live streaming, and Google Play apps are available for even more fun.

This TV is fantastic! I recently upgraded from the Sony 850D, which isn't a bad TV, but it's not the best. No backlight bleed, no grey blacks, no IPS glow AT ALL on this set. If you're looking for a 4K HDR TV, this is the one to get.
I'll start off with the pros. This is a beauty of a 4K TV. Outside of an OLED set, you'll be hard-pressed to find better quality in a LED 4K HDR TV. The black levels on this TV are pretty good, and it does very well in low-light settings. It's not going to give you OLED-level blacks, but it does pretty dang well. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better non-OLED TV for black levels. The colors on this TV really stand out, and are realistic, without over-saturation. At 120Hz, and the X1 HDR processor does a great job at taking away motion blur and judder, giving an extremely smooth picture. The sound on this TV is pretty good for built-in speakers. Nothing jaw-dropping, but if all you have are the TV speakers, it's certainly passable.
As for the cons, the WiFi on this TV isn't very good. Lots of lag, and streaming quality suffers from time-to-time. I have a top-of-the-line router, and pretty good internet speeds, yet this TV struggles with online streaming content - specifically YouTube. I haven't experienced any issues so far with Netflix, and Amazon Video does alright, but it does pause to load from time-to-time.
Overall, a great TV! Definitely recommended.

This is a very initial review. I have had the TV for little more than 24 hours, and my first impressions are that this TV is pretty great.
As for the pros, it produces a FANTASTIC 4K picture, and the HDR is excellent on this set, as well. The HDR quality on this TV is really the cherry on top with its amazing 4K quality picture. It adds an extra element of realism, and gives the picture a more vibrant, natural look. The colors are vibrant, and more realistic than the comparable Samsung model sets I've looked at, but to be fair, it could just be the settings. Either way, this TV delivers colors that are rich, vibrant, but aren't not over-the-top. There is zero motion blur with this TV. None. It's one of the best I have ever seen, and it DOES beat the Samsung in that department. If you're looking for a TV to watch sports on, or fast-action scenes in movies, this is the one you want. The sound on the TV is actually pretty good for straight out of the TV sound. It's not Bose surround sound quality, naturally, but it's certainly not terrible. If it's all you have to go on, it's certainly doable. And the TV stand is very well designed. It looks sleek, and it doesn't take up an obscene amount of room, or doesn't require a stand as wide as the dining room table, like the Samsung's.
As for the cons, there are a few. The black levels are not that deep with this TV. If compared with the Samsung's, it gets beat in that department. If you're looking for pure black levels, jump up another $1000-$1500 to the OLED's. It's not a deal breaker, in my opinion, but if you're sensitive to this area, you might want to look at the Samsung. In addition, the IPS glow is pretty noticeable. Granted, this glow is existent in virtually every LCD/LED screen, but it is noticeable even more so than others, I have to admit. The only time you really notice it is on an entirely black screen, and in low-lighting situations. If you're in a lit, or semi-lit room, it's not so much of a problem. Backlight bleed, as I've read in other reviews, has been a problem on this model; fortunately, it's not an issue on the TV I have. It seems to me that this might be a case-by-case sort of thing.
Overall, I'd give the TV an overall score of 4.6/10. In short, it does most things pretty well. The 4K picture is great, and the HDR is among the best in any TV set out there, and the motion blur technology is better than any I've seen. The things it doesn't do as well isn't to the point of being a deal-breaker, in my opinion, but you should be aware that other TVs do perform better in those categories. If you're deciding between Sony and Samsung, like I was, what it comes down to, is WHAT things you want done really well. Deep blacks vs. realistic colors, great motion blur technology vs. reduced IPS glow and backlight bleeding, etc. You can't go wrong with either one, but it does come down to a person's preference. This is a great TV. I'm not disappointed.
