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.

Very disappointed
on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was interested in HDR tech and wanted to try a different brand than Samsung since I'd not had the best of luck with my 4K Samsung. Best Buy had a promo where this was going to be $300 off for one day only in November so I went beforehand to check out the TV and was very satisfied with the way it looked. But I guess that's how they get you. Things look fantastic in the store and then you bring them home and...Not so much. I feel like I need an engineering degree to "calibrate" my TV. I experimented with all the presets and couldn't find one that worked across all platforms i.e., live TV, streaming, sports, video games , Blu-Rays etc. There was always something amiss with one or the other. Video games being the best and live TV being the worst. I don't know about anyone else but I don't want to spend over $1200 on a TV that won't give a good picture on live TV. But anyway, the presets didn't work so I bought a calibration disc and fiddled with it and still couldn't get things working well.
But this stuff isn't even the worst of the problems. Right from the get-go there was tremendous backlight bleeding in all four corners. If you're on a night scene or like a movie in widescreen format, there are white clouds behind all four corners of the TV. Highly visible and VERY distracting. I couldn't believe it. I thought how did I end up with a lemon out of all the TV's in Best Buy and the city of Baltimore? But apparently this sort of thing is a common issue with Sony TV's and monitors or TV's in general. I have never personally seen it until I spent more money on a TV than I have ever before in my entire life. Go figure. In addition to this, in the short time I've owned the TV, today is 12/6 and I bought it around 11/6, the TV has simply gone off in the middle of things and rebooted all by itself several times. And has also frozen to the point that it wouldn't respond to the remotes at all. I had to go look up where the power switch was to turn it off to reset it and pressed the button and IT didn't work. I then had to unplug the TV and plug it back in. Brand spanking new. This thing is a piece of garbage as far as I can tell. I found an email address in reviews here and have a call set up with Sony for today so maybe I will update this to say everything is wonderful but I'm skeptical. I was more upset because I went away for Thanksgiving and thought I missed the return window for the TV but it looks like with Elite Plus there's a chance I can still return and exchange it. If these Sony techs can't help me today or they tell me something like update software (as if I didn't try that already) or to turn the brightness down then it's going back to Best Buy for a different product and brand entirely.

Kind of disappointed
on March 24, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I walked around Best Buy for a while checking out all the different AIO's they had. I needed something to replace my old desktop and wanted to save space because I was going to start working at home more and have a small desk everything was sitting on. I wanted a robust machine so I could handle my work and play and didn't want to break the bank either. This wasn't the most expensive but not the cheapest. I played with the floor model and some others. There was another guy looking at the AIO's and he was with a BB clerk and I overheard the BB clerk tell him this was the beauty of the bunch. I had already narrowed it down to this and another one and once I heard that I thought Oh good I made a good choice then. But maybe BB wanted to get rid of these because it has been kind of a disappointment. It's not nearly as quick or responsive as I thought a brand new PC would be. It's slow to start up which I thought Windows 10 was supposed to have fixed??? It is like my previous computer that I bought at least 12 years ago in how slow it is to get up and running. I don't have anything extra on here really to slow it down so much so I guess it's processor is kind of lame. The touch screen part works fine but I don't even use that really other than to show someone else, Hey look at this. Or when my Bluetooth keyboard conked out on me I had to use the touch screen keyboard temporarily. I was also disappointed in the way it was unable to communicate with an HP printer I had. I connected them both and it's very sluggish with all of these updates and getting started printing. You'd think that they'd be the most compatible and work flawlessly but that wasn't the case in my experience. The display is bright and pretty. The speakers are nice. But the performance is lacking to me. I can't imagine how a real computer buff would take this but they're probably not buying HP machines off the shelf at Best Buy either. I thought about boxing it up and returning it but it seemed like such a pain in the rear that I am yet to do it so instead just go along with it as is.

All looks, no substance

I bought this on January 16th and it is March 24th and it has suddenly started acting up terribly. I replaced the batteries 3 times. Unpaired and paired again. Read about 6 articles on how to fix issues with Bluetooth keyboards and none of the solutions have worked so I think this thing is just a lemon. But when I logged in today to start working at home, it had a terrible lag and would repeat strokes completely on it's own like "d-i-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" and I got so frustrated with it after an hour of trying to fix it I finally dug out the keyboard that came with the computer and I'm using it to type this review and it's flawless. The Microsoft keyboard looks and feels great, needs backlighting for the keys. But other than that it's very aesthetically pleasing but the functionality, after barely 2 months of use and not heavy use at that, is unacceptable. I think it's outside the return policy of Best Buy so that sucks. A $60 paperweight now.

So far so good

Bought this as a Deal Of The Day due to my gf's battery problems in her car. Have used it 2 - 3 times and it was able to jump start her car, unlike the cables we have that are new. It apparently can charge things like your phone and such too but haven't used that feature. I didn't realize it would need to be charged itself but I guess that makes sense. So don't depend on it to start your car if you haven't used it in a long time because it needs at least a 60% charge level to be able to charge a car battery.

I played these games as a kid and didn't have any trouble with them but playing as a grown-up I find them nearly impossible to beat. Haha. Not sure what happened but I can't get past any of the levels so far. But still fun reminiscing.

Not bad

At first I wasn't pleased with the clumsy controls and the graphics were disappointing but after playing it a bit longer than my initial try I liked it better. It's a duck and shoot game like so many others. Quite difficult to kill bad guys, Multiple shots needed. Must be wearing Kevlar under their hoodies. I like the missions where I can join other players to accomplish whatever goal is presented. Haven't gotten very far into it but it's enjoyable.

Haven't had any problems. Bought this to replace my Norton protection after replacing my old computer. Seems fine so far but haven't really gotten into the nuts and bolts of it and they probably wouldn't make sense to me anyway. Haha.

Haven't made it through all the special features but I watch the episodes by themselves then with the commentaries then move on to the special feature segments. Nerd! This is by far the best show on television, to me.

I have this tv and am experiencing light bleeding through. Are you? Windering if i should keep or return and go with vizio. Dissapointed in sony...

Yes! I just wrote a negative review about it. I have a call set up with their techs today and hope they will magically resolve this for me but I have a feeling the TV is going back to Best Buy. I am disappointed too.
