Excellent Picture and Sound, but Very Heavy
The included two-year Bravia Core service with ten free movies offers image quality comparable to or better than Blu-ray, with many IMAX HDR titles. The TV delivers striking visuals, a noticeable upgrade from lower-tier sets. Its built-in sound exceeds expectations and outperforms most TVs, though not a high-end sound system. It pairs well with the PlayStation 5. The set is very heavy, so handle with care.
Pros
- + included Bravia Core with free movies
- + outstanding picture quality
- + surprisingly good built-in sound
- + great synergy with PS5

Beautiful QD-OLED TV with Gorgeous Color
This 65-inch QD-OLED TV delivers gorgeous, bright color that outperforms last year's OLED model. It arrived with fingerprints on the screen and a slightly warped, discolored base, but the picture quality remains stunning. The reworked remote is simple and appreciated, and Google TV conveniently gathers shows from different services in one place. The mic integration feels sloppy, often routing everything to search rather than system settings. Using it with the PS5 is mind-blowing. Opting for the delivery service that unboxes and installs the TV resulted in an undamaged unit. Would buy again.
Pros
- + gorgeous, bright color
- + better color than last year's OLED
- + simple reworked remote
- + Google TV aggregates shows
- + mind-blowing with PS5
- + delivery and installation option prevents damage
Cons
- − arrived with fingerprints on screen
- − slightly warped and discolored base
- − sloppy mic integration

Sony TV Fails Shortly After Warranty
This TV stopped working after about a year and nine months. It powers off on its own and blinks a red LED four times. Repair costs range from $150 to $450 and take one to two weeks, with service locations over an hour away. After paying around $900 for a repair, the same problem returned within a day. The extended warranty push at setup seemed like a warning sign. Those without nearby repair options may find this especially frustrating.
Cons
- − Stopped working after about 21 months
- − Powers off on its own
- − Blinks red LED four times
- − Repair costs $150–$450
- − Repairs take 1–2 weeks
- − Repair services over an hour away
- − Paid ~$900 for repair, same issue returned within a day
- − Extended warranty pushed at setup

Heavy TV, Impressive Picture and Cable Management
This TV is heavy and awkward to lift alone, with no handholds, and the stand accounts for much of the weight. Setup requires care and ideally two people. Cable management is excellent, with three covers hiding most wires. Connecting a Google account imports media apps and passwords automatically. Picture quality is astounding on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and YouTube, and auto brightness and Bravia sound work well. Gaming through the 4K HDMI input also performs impressively.
Pros
- + excellent cable management
- + automatic Google account import
- + astounding picture quality
- + well-executed auto brightness and Bravia sound
- + impressive 4K gaming performance
Cons
- − heavy and awkward to lift alone
- − no handholds on the TV
- − requires two people for setup

Sharp Picture and Strong Built-in Sound
After about two weeks of use, the picture is very sharp and detailed, a clear step up from a 52-inch Sony Bravia. The built-in speakers and two rear subwoofers deliver great sound for most listening, so a sound bar is not needed. Setup with external peripherals is a bit challenging. The picture looks warmer and more natural than a same-size Samsung, with less aggressive color. Burn-in is a concern, so pausing video requires care. The price is high for a 65-inch TV.
Pros
- + sharp and detailed picture
- + great built-in sound with subwoofers
- + warmer, more natural picture than same-size Samsung
- + no sound bar needed
Cons
- − setup with external peripherals is challenging
- − burn-in concern requires care with paused video
- − high price for a 65-inch TV
