    I bought this Sony 50" Bravia Google Smart TV July 2025 to replace Samsung. The tv itself is ok. A lot of reflection in screen, I don't care for all the pop up adds, it does glitch some. What is the most frustrating is since last July we have not been able to get our Denon AV S960H 2021 to stay connected properly to the Sony. The prior samsung worked great with the Denon surround system. This unit will interface properly for a day, a week and one time it went a whole month. It will drop out and revert to the tv speakers for no reason. Multiple phone calls to both companies, multiple hard resets, new eARC HDMI cable, nothing has worked to keep the two playing together permanently. So sorry to have bought this unit.

    I just bought the new 85 inch Sony Bravia 5 mini LED and it is the worst piece of garbage I have ever owned! All my older cheaper TVs function better without resetting constantly. You will never be able to set it and forget it with this TV. Too many things go awry, change without notice then you got to go back and reset everything over and over and over again and that's the least of its problems. Just trying to get a good picture is pretty tough too. And I bought it on the Sony name which now means mud to me. No more Sony anything for me.

      My Sony tv is 5 year old. It had a complaint regarding sound. The service operator told that its speaker got complaint and needs to be replaced. It had taken from my house for 2 months. In between the service operators called us and told that our TV repaired and demanded to rate their service as excellent. We did the same. After two days he told that parts are not available since it is a five year old tv. And recommended to buy a new one. I recommend never to buy this brand. Its parts are unavailable soon.

      I purchased a Sony Bravia 65” OLED TV under 2 years ago. Had an issue with the picture. Cannot be fixed. Stayed in the phone with customer service for 50 minutes and was passed to 4 different people. Last I heard is that they would get back to me. Of course I have heard nothing since and it has been 3 weeks. 2200 for a tv and i have to toss it in the garbage.

      I purchased a 65" Sony Bravia TV and it did have great picture, but within a year it started turning off randomly and progressively got worse until it was unusable. My attempts to get it serviced and/or replaced was the most frustrating, time intensive, and in the end futile experience I have ever had with customer service for any electronics company. I have never had a tv last less than 5-10 years, so if you have any interest in longevity and efficiency with your own time, I highly recommend buying from a different brand.

      So, to start this off, I’m usually a Samsung guy. However, Sony had a good deal and I was told by a Best Buy employee that it would be comparable to my Samsung that I wanted to replace (with a newer Samsung). However, my Sony Bravia is very glitchy. Anytime I’m trying to watch sports, it’s very skippy. My living room has some light, but I wouldn’t say a considerable amount. With that, my tv is very hard to see in sunny days. The tv is ok, but it’s not even close to my Samsung. Step it up Sony. Will never buy a Sony again!

      Sony has long been my go-to brand for home electronics. Every product I’ve owned - until now - has delivered years of reliable, high-quality performance. That changed with my 2020 purchase of the 55-inch XBR55X90CH LED TV, which has been a rare and frustrating disappointment. Over time, the screen developed blotchy areas that are especially noticeable in bright scenes. I reported the issue to Sony while the manufacturer’s warranty was still active. A technician reviewed photos I uploaded and concluded that the problem was likely caused by foreign particles entering through the TV’s rear ventilation and settling on the backlight. I challenged this assessment, providing a detailed explanation of the TV’s clean, controlled environment - one that could not reasonably have caused such an issue. Despite this, Sony reaffirmed their original decision without ever sending a technician to inspect the unit in person.

      This experience has completely eroded my trust in Sony’s warranty process. Nowhere in their warranty terms is there an exclusion that applies to my situation. I followed all care and usage guidelines, yet Sony denied coverage based solely on speculation from photos. As someone with over 40 years in the information systems field and extensive experience with electronic displays, I can confidently say this appears to be a manufacturing or design defect - not user error. If Sony won’t stand behind their products when issues arise, even under warranty, I can no longer recommend them. I urge potential buyers to be cautious: warranty coverage may not be honored, even when you’ve done everything right.

      I had been lusting after a SONY Bravia 7 for months. After reading reviews from highly trusted internet sites and watching as many YouTube videos as I could, I decided to go with the Bravia 7--and wow! I'm blown away. After deciding both the Bravia 8 and the flagship Bravia 9 prices were too steep, the price at several outlets had dropped the Bravia 7 to what I considered to be a more-than-reasonable price for SONY reputation for quality and customer service. Out of the box, the standard settings were impressive without fiddling with tweaking, although I did up the brightness to my taste. Watching fast-motion content (like sports) was outstanding.

      In the many reviews I researched, the most common criticism was "off-axis" viewing, but that seems to be overblown (in my opinion). I live in a very small apartment, so it's not an issue. I'm not a gamer, either, so I can't speak to how well it performs in that capacity. But I'm more than ecstatic about the price and quality. Overall, I believe I got the "best bang for my buck". If you can ignore the common belief that SONY TV's are too expensive, you may want to rethink your stance. Can you tell I'm extremely happy with my experience? I say: GO FOR IT.

      The Sony brand, as of today, its products are made for a long enough time for them to ruin and you continue spending more of your money. My TV is like new, without a single scratch, in excellent condition, it has never been moved from the same place, in perfect condition, and out of nowhere, it broke down. This is my second Sony TV that has the same problem, which is why I'm doing this review this time because it's not fair and then they don't want to fix anything at all. This is my phone number **.

      Ordered a Bravia 9 75 inch. Sony has a listed price for a product and advertises next day shipping. Once you get to finalizing the cart, they change (increase the price) not due to taxes. Then once you submit payment, they delay your order processing and then change your delivery date from next day to 4 - 9 business days later. It is impossible to get a live agent on the phone and when the virtual assistant finally allows you to get connected to someone, the virtual assistant hangs up the phone call. This happened twice. I get on the chat line, and the chat bot is speaking to me in english, I am responding in English, then when I verify my last name, it immediately switches to spanish, assuming I can read in spanish just because of my last name, regardless of the fact that I have been answering english questions with English answers.

      I get on the chat finally with a live agent and they are short, apologize briefly, clearly without even reading my grievances, then doesn't want to assist with canceling my order and leaves the chat before I can confirm or ask anymore questions. So here I am with this TV that isn't at my house, that I paid for to be here today, and I am told basically tough luck, you're not getting your money back until the tv gets to your house two weeks from now and you refuse it. Bye. Agent leaves the conversation and then sends me a request to fill out this survey. So here we are.

      Needless to say, I don't care how great the picture is, this is by far the worst handling of an order I've ever had and I JUST ordered this TV and haven't ever experienced a Sony TV. With this kind of customer deception and treatment, I will never buy a sony TV. I could care less for the product if the experience is this terrible. I will not be purchasing a Sony TV and I will make sure anyone I know doesn't purchase one just to keep them from this kind of behavior.

      Shame on you Sony for advertising a price and delivery that isn't honored, just to entice someone to make the purchase and then, take zero effort to correct the issue. Other than your typical "Sorry for the inconvenience". Honestly If the support person said I'm sorry we shouldn't have promised today, let me cancel the order or change it from shipping to pick up so you can go to best buy and get it, I would have been a happy camper but that's not what happened. Congrats Sony, you lost a customer before he ever even got your TV.

      Sony Bravia LED X850F Series 2160p Smart 4K UHD TV With HDR is pure trash. All the customers are right. Picture freezes, blacks outs, tv has problems powering up, etc. I cannot believe a class action suit has not been filed on Sony Bravia tvs. I am being way too generous by giving Sony Bravia one star.

      I am extremely dissatisfied with both the quality of my Sony television and the lack of accountability from Sony’s customer support team. I purchased a Sony TV for approximately $4,000, and from the very beginning, the unit exhibited technical issues. The screen would intermittently go dark and then power back on without explanation. When I initially reported the problem, Sony dismissed it, attributing the issue to my household electrical system — despite the fact that no other devices in my home experienced similar failures.

      Two years later, the television has now completely failed. The unit displays eight red light flashes, which is a critical error code. A Sony-authorized service provider examined the TV and determined that the main board is defective, not repairable, and not cost-effective to replace. This confirms my belief that the television was defective from the start. Despite repeated attempts to seek assistance, Sony has refused to take responsibility or offer a fair resolution. For a product in this price range, the failure is unacceptable, and the lack of support is even more concerning. I expected durability, quality assurance, and customer service that stands behind the brand name. Unfortunately, Sony has provided none of these. Based on my experience, I strongly caution potential buyers against investing in Sony televisions or relying on their customer support.

      I ordered the Bravia 7 TV on July 3rd through Sony instead of Best Buy, thinking I would receive better customer service with a quality brand. It's August 13th. First, the initial TV was delivered 2-1/2 weeks, which was told by Sony themselves it was not normal to arrive that late. I received a damaged TV and started my return process immediately. I asked for accommodations for lateness and a damaged product because I ordered this product for an important presentation. After weeks of back and forth with Ethan, who was helpful throughout this process. I could not get in touch with the supervisor, Nathaniel, who wouldn't return my calls after only speaking with him once. I asked for services that would ensure I did not receive another damaged product when delivered.

      If they can unbox and check, so i would not have to go through this again, since they take no responsibility for the third-party company used to deliver their TVs. I was denied twice. I also asked for an extended warranty they offered a one-year basic warranty extension. I am so disappointed with Sony, as I thought a 2000 dollar purchase would be worth some sort of careful execution for customer satisfaction. I've had to call Sony every time to receive updates. It seems Best Buy would have been a much easier and seamless purchase experience.

      I suggested several accommodations, all of which were rejected. I ask 1. Why would you deny checking if your product is working and delivered safely after the first delivery was unsatisfactory? 2. Why would you deny a customer “Protect Plus” warranty after this long and arduous ordeal, make you wonder if you know the product will not outlast the warranty??. If you’re too busy to return my phone calls, that cannot be a good sign. I did not receive any reasons for any of my denials. When I spoke to a rep, they said they would add it to the case to better improve customer relations. Which means I will not hear from them again. Very surprised at Sony. I’m not pleased with the outcome of my case #**. Buyers beware!

      77" A80J Reliability, Truly disappointed in this TV. It was great for the first year. Since then the Power board went out and you could not turn it on or off with the remote. Most recently, a horizontal black line appeared across the entire screen. Minutes after that the TV just kept shutting off every 3 minutes after I turned it on from the rear power button. Yes, I tried everything including resetting all timers, unplugging from the outlet to have it restart, and even managed to do a complete factory reset to the entire system. Still the same issues and cannot watch the TV any longer. I suppose that now the mother board is damaged as well. The picture was great while it lasted, but when you make a $4000 investment in a TV, you expect a bit more longevity than 3 years. Impossible to think that I could trust another Sony product. I'll be looking to replace this with a competitor equivalent. Ralph

      I purchased a Sony Bravia, 80” 4K Tv a few years ago and it has been one of the worst TVs I’ve ever owned for reliability. Every couple months, since it was brand new, I have to reboot the TV. It’s not a huge deal but it is annoying. I first had Hulu as a streaming service and had to reboot the TV at least once a week. After speaking with Hulu customer service, I found the Bravia was not compatible with their service. I switched to YouTube TV and things were better, but I still have to reboot the TV about once a month. Sony used to be top of the line but it seems they have slipped. I will never buy another Sony.

      I bought a 43" Sony Bravia TV, assuming it would be amazing, as most Sony products tend to be. What a piece of trash. It worked great out the box, looked amazing. However I don't like streaming apps, so I uninstalled them. I kept getting ads for the same uninstalled apps, which bothered me a lot. I spent 2.5 hours chatting with a Sony tech, he had me restarting it, wiping it, and redoing this for 2.5 hours. It did nothing, I still see the obnoxious app ads. Then the next day the remote voice command stops working.

      Another 1 hour chatting with another Sony tech, who can't fix anything apparently. He tells me to contact Google. I hang up on him, I'm very unsatisfied. Now, the pc of crap TV refuses to connect to my VERY expensive top of the line wifi. So I have to unplug it now daily and wait for 60 seconds, it seems to work. It's too late to return it, so I'm stuck with this 1000$ hull of trash, and to make matters worse I'm still seeing the ads for the disgusting and immoral show on Crave that I originally wanted GONE, (that I l'd rather not have to see every day until I chuck the tv out). This TV is a total pc of junk, I'm very unhappy with it for so many reasons. I'll never give Sony another cent of my money after this ordeal.
