Best Tv For Google Home (2024 Update)

So my sister and me got new TV's at roughly the same time. Like within a month of each other. Ok, so I can't help but compare, especially as we're both on a budget and went with quality budget brands who from what I've seen are frequently pitted against each other. She got this Hisense TV and I got a 58 inch TCL TV. Other than a 3 inch size difference, which is almost totally negligible BTW, is comparing brands. Neither of us had either brand before, we both went entirely off of a few reviews, store recommendations and best bang for the buck. Her's was sale priced at $280 and mine was sale priced at $340. Considering a bit of a size difference, both were competitively priced, mine was more, but again, also slightly bigger. So we live in different states. We frequently visit each other though. So it wasn't long until we seen each other's TV and was able to compare. Her's really isn't a bad TV, she made a good choice, but at the same time, even she realized that she could've done better for roughly the same cost. While again her's isn't bad, it's also nothing special. Pretty much the definition of meh. Whereas my TCL does well all around night or day (and several windows gives me tons of daylight during the day affecting my viewing conditions) giving a nice picture regardless of circumstances. Sound is about the same for both. Neither will blow you away and both will probably have you at least considering a soundbar, but both are also sufficient for 99% of scenarios, though you may have to turn the volume up a good bit in some cases. Still, the point is that there's better for roughly the same price. Sure this is a decent TV, but if you're out to get the most out of your money, TCL at this time has a distinct edge. Oh, and I almost forgot, I got a TCL series 4 model. Definitely baseline for a bigger TV from them much as is this Hisense, so it's not as though one of us bought the lowest end model available and the other got the very best and then did a comparison. No, their, supposedly both these companies most basic offerings and so are very comparable. Get a Hisense if you plan to get a better model of theirs, those are a solid choice. But if you can only get the basic model, then a TCL series 4 is what you should really be shopping for.Matt

We bought this to use in another room. Wanted to diversify from our roku and try the Google TV experience. Was not really impressed. Cons, The picture quality is poor. There is a lot of zoning and green hues in the dark areas. I have tried to fine tune the settings which didn't help. Many times when switching inputs, the menu comes up, the selection highlights when pressed but nothing happens. I have had to unplug it to get it working again. The lack of a bezel makes it very tricky to handle, especially when wall mounting it. Streaming is frustrating because of so much buffering, even with ethernet. Pros, it was cheap, does the job for the most part using Dish network or a DVD player. Volume is good. Has 3 hdmi ports, ethernet, USB and cable inputs. All in all, would not buy again. Would stick with my tcl roku.Eileen

This TV is superb at this price point. I've previously owned Fire TVs, so adjusting to the Google TV format took a while, but I love that you have separate profiles and google accounts. I don't have to share my YouTube with my partner who usually messes with my algorithm. The picture quality is really outstanding. We rewatched some Marvel films and saw details we'd never seen before. We have a soundbar so we don't use the built-in speakers. I recommend a soundbar in general to enhance your TV and movie-watching experience. The only issue I've encountered is the homepage gets stuck sometimes and you aren't able to scroll for a few moments. So far it's only a few seconds before it unsticks itself. Overall, I would highly recommend this TV. I hope it has longevity as my last smart TV of this size (not Hisense) died almost 2 years to the date of purchase.DwannC

Expensive Yes, worth it ? Big Yes. Feed this baby some 4K disc material, turn all the room lights out and be amazed. OOTB performance is very good, but there is a strong emphasis with Red when using the Standard preset, recommend you use the Custom preset and settings shown at FlatpanelsHD website review of the A95K, this gives a Great picture. Make sure the cabinet you intend to put the A95K is 145cm wide at least, the stand will break if you try to have the edges overhanging, as the whole weight of the TV is only 7cm from each end of the stand, the stand is heavy, but the TV itself is not. The new small Sony remote with the A95K is made of metal and back lite, not so with other Sony TV’s, it’s a joy to use. The A95K shows absolutely NO dirty screen, banding, vignetting or screen uniformity issues, which is a first, and pretty much all owners are reporting the same. If you need a larger screen size WAIT ! As it has been confirmed that a 77” model will be out in 2023, but expect to pay around 50% more than the 65” current price. The 2023 model will also be 2nd Gen, as the panel makers will be adding Quantum Blue technology, will allow a even brighter screen. If you can control your room lighting, get a QD-OLED, and you will see ALL the benefits, if you can’t you might not, it’s certainly NOT suitable if you have a LOT of light in your room, you would be far better off getting a new Mini LED TV if that applies to you. IMHO opinion, as of 2022 this is the best TV ever made, but only if used in the environment that best shows it offTweaky

Best ever picture: (The following review I posted on Sony’s website. I have wasted many hours trying to get Sony’s attention about their firmware bugs. All I get is repair service help. There are bugs they need to fix! Don’t know what I can do more to report them except to write these reviews.) I have only purchased Sony TVs and this one has a remarkable picture. However I find my current up-to-date software, (not Google) needs attention: I find during trial and error, older setups can't be removed. I have multiple selections for each HDMI input that can't be removed. I can setup my Directv DVR (HR24-500) but it won't power off with the TV. During power on it asks me if it should turn it on. No way to change this behavior! Over The Air (Next Gen) the audio channels are reversed, Spanish selects English and English selects Spanish. Alternate sound from a different Next Gen Ch only sends audio to my right-front Theater speaker. Channel surfing is not smooth because it pauses when the OTA tuner starts tuning digital weak channels. After these pauses, pressing the "123" button then selecting "Display" can hangup or display without detail information. I also find my TV Guide Favorites change by including all available channels. Then next time I turn on TV it is fixed. When a digital channel is too weak to lock in. Then the signal improves, the tuner will not display until you move to another channel and return to that channel. My Sony UBP-X1000ES blu-ray player most of the time is powered on/off correctly. But sometimes selecting that HDMI port it doesn't turn on. Also the "123" button doesn't offer an option to eject the tray. It seems that there is too much emphasis in the whole setup to automate. Not leaving any options to come back later and make changes. There is no deleting or adding another Cable box setup. As normal these days there is never any details in the Help Manual to explain what the software is really doing throughout setup. There are other odd behaviors I have seen. I have tried "Restarting" the whole system but nothing improves. I really don't want to restore factory defaults until the firmware is updated and improved. I am looking forward to Sony updating and fixing these problems. It is early in this product's history but better quality testing of the firmware should have been done at Sony. I have hopes that these problems get addressed. Believe me they are there!ElectronicTechSWadmin

I have been using this TV for a month and I absolutely love it. Absolutely stunning picture quality. I must have watched all the 4k HDR content available on youtube so far. The Bravia core which comes pre-installed with 10 credits gives some really good high resolution movies. I have never felt more immersed in games before. The TV works like a charm with PS5. VRR implementation is very good. However, these HDMI 2.1 settings are hidden behind HDMI input settings that need to be enabled to get full use of VRR and ALLM on HDMI 4 port. (I wish Sony could enable them by default). Bravia cam has a decent resolution for video calls. The included remote control is very cool with backlight controls. I love the 65' size for gaming. This TV is not as flush against the wall as LG Gallery series. With the best mount stand, I could get from amazon, I could get it as low as 6cm from the wall. However since I prefer the Google TV OS to LG's webOS, I went with Sony. Used my quarterly bonus to pay for this bad boy and definitely delighted. Josh from Sony Parramatta was really helpful in assisting me with the purchase and even offered a price match.bmehra

This is an exceptional product and clearly has been manufactured to the highest standards.Unpacking and putting it together and connecting up took approx an hour and does require two people minimum to lift it. I like that you can have the feet at the ends or towards the centre to accommodate various stands. Ive got them towards the centre and the TV is very stable. The Sony TV came with two remote controls but not mentioned why in packaging but easy to work out after a while in that one is mainly sued for the Google TV side. There are some duplication of controls which make sense like settings, channels, audio etc. See picture showing both controls. As I don't have a Satellite dish I wasn't using this input but Digital TV via the Aerial scanned very quickly and setup the channels. However as I have a Cable TV box this was my preferred setting when you press the TV button on the remote as it's configurable. The 4K hires picture quality and upscaling from any of the inputs sources that you don't have as 4K is gorgeous and really comes into its own on wildlife and natures programmes. As it's a Google TV there are various Streaming android apps you can download and setup and these were as easy to configure as the TV itself. The Sony TV includes builtin airplay and Google Home so you can use this as a google hub. As it also has two built in Satellite inputs you don't need a separate box to plug in. The TV has the latest version standards for HDMI with 4 sockets. 3 at rear and one on the side. Aerial input for Free to air broadcast transmissions. All these sockets are neatly hidden behind panels that are flush with the TV. It can be wall mounted but Id advise buying the approved Sony Brackets and having it expertly fitted for safety and best experience. I do like the auto screen display change to Dolby Vision when the content is detected as such. The sound is superb from the inbuilt 6 speakers and does really follow the source on the picture of where the sound is located. A cinematic experience from whatever you're watching and crystal clear almost reflection free viewing wherever you re in the room. As part of the setup you can tailor the audio based on where you usually sit through the remote control which has a microphone and you can speak the commands instead for anything accessible on the TV All in all this Sony Bravia XR75X95K is visual and audio quality at its best and if you want to watch without disturbing others then you can pair and connect Bluetooth Headphones for private listening.davecres

My mom needed an upgrade from her 32" TV, but she has a small table where her TV is placed. Additionally, she sits in one spot to watch TV. The 50" X85K first came in view because the feet are the right distance apart to fit on her table. Mom watches sports, so the 120Hz panel also stood out to me over other TVs in the price range. The promise of Sony image quality added to the appeal of the X85K. I was able to get an open box excellent deal on the TV. I set up the TV for her this past weekend. I helped her get her YouTubeTV, Disney+, and Netflix all configured. After some tweaks, the picture looks great. SDR has lovely colors and smooth motion. For HDR, the TV automatically selected DolbyVision on Disney+. Even off angle viewing wasn't all that bad. Other plus: the new Sony remote is nice and simple. No more number pad makes it easy to use. Sound is what it is. Without a soundbar, it was okay, but I added a soundbar. Speaking of the soundbar, I connected it via eARC, but no sound came out. I did some research and found an article on Sony. After unplugging all the HDMI and power cables then reconnected them, HDMI first, sound did come out through the soundbar. Overall, I am very pleased since my mom is very pleased. She is so impressed and loves her new TV.JeffM

Pictures or words cannot begin to describe the experience. From the moment of taking delivery youll realize you made the perfect decision. Dont try to buy instore & take it home yourself, this beast is another level. Once you have the screen setup youll have a theater like TV, paired with a soundbar content just pops together. Now my cons with this TV; it does take a slight learning curve to configure things properly like the PS5 requires a quick switch to enable VRR & other picture settings. But once you have this sorted out its such smooth sailing!dope7000000000000

I was skeptical with getting this tv. At first I bought the LG 83 series mini led, it was the same price. But I decided not to get it and went with this Sony. Yeah it's just a regular LED panel opposed to qned or oled. But man this picture is clear as day, the details just pop out at you. Some concerns I saw were the dark blacks but to be honest I don't see a problem but that's just me. I game with the Series X and it is the clearest and cleanest picture with no motion blur at all. Yes it does support 4k @ 120hz you just have to change the settings to enhanced hdmi on the tv for it to work. I am super happy with this Sony and my 12 year old daughter has high jacked my living room ever since I got it.Scoobs

As an owner of the sony a90j oled, I was quite surprised to see how well this TV performed as a mid level tv. It's not perfect, however the power of the cognitive xr processor is the beauty of the TV when it comes to clarity, upscaling, and color. It didn't take me long to calibrate the TV to my liking and I truly impressed with this TV. After hooking up an 4k apple TV with an audioquest cable, my experience with this TV jumped to a new level of quality. Although it's not oled quality and there is minimum blooming (as there is on all full array TVs) I did not find it distracting. If you look for a mid level tv with high performance for watching movies, TV shows and or gaming this is the one you should keep an eye on. Only way I won't recommend this TV is if you watch your TV at an angle or if you have a lot of sun light that will be shining on the TV as this TV doesn't have any anti reflection for handling glare for very bright rooms. Overall, great TV for the price.Maury

This TV should be a winner, especially at the sale price. However, the image quality underwhelms. IF the scene lends itself well to local dimming (Iike discrete bright areas separated from discrete dark areas) the picture is very good although viewing angles are narrow. However, if the overall scene is generally lit evenly (as most scenes are), the contrast ratio is not as good as competing televisions and actually can look a little washed out or like it has a grey haze. This X90K set was right next to a Sony X80J (one model down and 2021 model) without local backlighting. Both were running the Sony Demo content and so comparing the two was very easy. The older and cheaper X80J looked visibly 'better' most fo the time, even thought the x90K was brighter. The salesman manually adjusted the X90K gamma and brightness and black levels and was able to come close to the default of the x80J, with some effort, but even then the X80J usually just looked better overall. We also compared to the 2022 X85K which is a step down in price and but does have the 120hz refresh and slightly updated 2022 software. It also looked better to multiple people than the X90K. The x85K simply had richer contrast in most scenes and less tendency to wash out/grey haze off-axis. Based on this, save several hundred dollars and skip the X90K and instead get the X85k or save $500 and get last years X80J.Bryanmsi

This TV is overall great, especially if you are looking to utilize the power of modern gaming consoles. It has HDMI 2.1, 120 Hz Refresh, and VRR support. The screen is beautiful, great colors, and awesome picture for you games and movies. HOWEVER The Apps, operating system, and usability are absolutely horrible. First, it wants you to sign into google, so if you have privacy concerns you have to be pretty careful about your settings. It is absolutely full of Apps you will probably never use and they are tedious and annoying to uninstall, if it even lets you. For example, you press several buttons to get to the screen, click uninstall, confirm, then BAM it sends you to the home screen requiring you to do everything over to uninstall the next bloated garbage useless app. Once you run an app, they often lock up or crash, requiring a reboot of the TV. You can chose to not sign into Google, but then you cannot download additional apps, at least, I have not found out how. So you are stuck with the BLOATWARE garbage that is pre loaded. Sorry, no one watches Tubi. Want to get that app off your home screen? Good Luck. This isn't talking smack about the TV itself, its fine. It is just a chore to use such a poorly designed OS and the Google TV is simply awful. I highly recommend using an external steaming device, never signing into google, and watch your TV from there. I love the simplicity of my ROKU player and wish this TCL TV had Roku instead of Google. My old TCL had Ruku and most do. Unfortunately, the only comparable TCL TV with Roku installed does not support the modern gaming features for PS5. TCL, if you read any of these, know that Google is a farty dumpster fire and all your TVs should use Roku. If you have an external player and want a good TV get this one. If you want to be constantly annoyed, bombarded by obtrusive Ads, use Apps that work 15% of the time, difficult navigation, and want all your personalized data monetized with no benefit to you, get this TV. Of course I am joking, if you don't care about the gaming stuff, get the TCL 55S546 with Roku and avoid Google TV like plague.Raptorchef

Decided to pull the trigger and get a new TV for my Series X. I was a little skeptical about the differences 4 years would make. The series 5 had Dolby vision, atmos, and 4K HDR. I wanted a TV with native 120hz. First thing I noticed when I picked it up from Best Buy was the weight difference. It was about 10 pounds heavier than the old tv. Which I didn’t have any gripes about. Brought it inside, took it out of the box, and I finally understood the weight difference. The bezel is way thicker but in a good way. (Keep reading) The stands and everything was made out of metal, which I liked for the price. I got it up and running, it took about 30 minutes of software updates but that was to be expected. I would recommend Google over Roku due to its android platform, it is actually 175% faster in benchmark testing than the Roku. Me and the wife immediately downloaded all the streaming channels and started watching one of our shows. The difference in quality from the series 5 to series 6 is unbelievable. The 120hz 4K hdr is smooth and crisp (with good internet) and the brightness and the colors of the screen were crazy to look at during nighttime. (Turn the brightness down at night or you’ll be blinded) The motion of the scenes were unparalleled to our old tv. After watching it for a while we noticed that the Samsung soundbar we have hated for the past three years actually was encoding correctly for the first time (7.1) and we could finally hear the voices of the protagonist/actors/antagonists clearly for the first time. I’ve been playing F122 and am start in to notice the differences when playing. It’s way more responsive which leads to better lap times (playing with a driving rig) I had to tinker with the colors and brightness, and still tinkering with them but everything is very smooth, crisp, and clean. The only gripe I have is DOLBY VISION isn’t picking up when I load a game. But I’m sure TCL will fix that glitch sooner or later. Yet to play a shooting game, but I’m sure it will be awesome. Also this thing with google is packed with features. So many features I haven’t used them all yet. It’s nice to dim the lights with the remote, or check the doorbell as well with the TV. It’s a great value. Best value I’ve had with a tv. I didn’t think the upgrade would be worth it. But it was so far so good. I got it at Best Buy for $680 after tax and I’m glad I did. Like I said there are shortcomings in the software that can be patched. But the software that’s embedded in the tv is way more responsive than my series 5. I’m planning yo buy another 6 for the bedroom to update that tv as well. It’s worth the price point,Vames

It's a very solid TV for the price. I would like to say though that after seeing so many glowing reviews I was a little disappointed with the overall picture quality. Our main TV in our living room is a Sony A8H OLED so I realize this isn't going to be on par with that – but this one was bought to simply replace a very aged Samsung tv that was from 2012 in our bedroom. First, the big reason a lot of people probably came to this TV set was that it has the mini-led technology which helps with the deep blacks. It certainly does get rid of most of the halo but in doing so it crushes the blacks more than it should – to the point you lose a lot of shadow details. I was also very underwhelmed with the tone and color in general of most content on this TV – no matter which picture setting you select (even the vivid setting) the colors are very muted in my opinion – sometimes even looking a bit washed out. I ended up purchasing an Nvidia Shield to help out with however this TV processes the picture and that did indeed help out overall I still feel the picture is kind of average compared to what I thought it was going to look like. That's not to say this TV isn't a solid buy at this price point. It has an option to set it up as a "dumb" tv which is nice for using it with a dedicated device like the Shield and the TV itself seems pretty solidly built – especially for devices in this price range. The included remote feels nice in the hand with it's rounded edges and rubbery buttons. It's not a backlit remote though – something I don't understand why it isn't just commonplace.Eric

I really wanted to love this television. I researched it for a year and probably looked at the BestBuy displays a half dozen times. There are dozens of acronymns and features mentioned in specifications, most of which mean nothing to me. I only really cared about one, and Samsung is the only manufacturer that even seems to try. The anti-glare screen! How annoying when trying to view the picture on a modern gazillion pixel high resolution TV only to have to view light bulbs and windows and the fireplace. Since I was really excited about was the anti-glare coating, so after a lot of research I paid twice the price of an ordinary set to ensure I had the anti-glare. My large living room is a tough customer. It has three large glass doors, six windows, three entrances to other rooms with their lighting, and up to six lighting sources in the room itself. A fireplace sits in a corner opposite the TV. Nothing gets direct sun, but there is always light coming from somewhere. The QN90 had better anti-glare than anything else on display, so I had hope, but when I got home and placed it next to my 15 year old television it was only slightly better. I probably would have made it work, but then there was the sound. My 15 year old TV's ARc HDMI connection recognized my 4 year old 5.1.1 receiver. The QN90 did for some applications, but when using a traditional over-the-air antenna, the sound didn't work. After hours of fiddling with settings, I finally got some sound through the receiver, but the settings had to be re-adjusted EVERY time I changed the channel. Watching the news with the good weather person and want to switch to the channel with good sports – better have the remotes handy. I didn't realize until I tried the TV out for a week, but I watch as much antenna TV as anything else and I change channels regularly. In similar fashion, the QN90 had trouble recognizing my top of the line 2019 model Roku Ultra. On the 15 year old TV I can adjust sound from the Roku remote. Only Samsung the remote worked for the TV, despite all advertised as ARC compatible. All of the above meant I had to keep at least 4 remotes handy. So, if you are keeping score, I'm not saying it is a terrible television, but for the money it had a picture not much better than my 15 year old television. And several key features I use every day were handled BETTER by my 15 year old TV, especially when it came to interfacing with my other relatively current equipment. I give credit to Samsung for better than average customer service. I made several calls for some of the issues above. Patient and reasonably well-trained live people quickly came on the call and tried. We did find some workarounds in the setups, but unfortunately they tended to reset every time the TV turned off or channels changed. The problem was the TV itself. Samsung's solutions seemed to be buy new Samsung branded equipment and hope for the best. So the QN90 went back and I am very sad about it. The 15 year old TV came out of the spare room and is back in the living room. The QN90 wasn't better at the only things important to me, certainly not $1600 better. Old Hat, New Hat I guess.dieselcoondog

Risk purchase was SO worth it! Best Buy did not have a floor display near me and unfortunately could not see the 85" version before purchasing but was reassured by sales staff that the smaller version was a good comparison. After blue-taping the wall to make sure this was the size I needed (wanted), I took the plunge. Picture is as described by other reviewers: GORGEOUS, amazing, superb, etc. Interface is fast and relatively intuitive. Some thoughts to consider: -This thing is a beast and was glad to have had it delivered and installed by GeekSquad -If you do get the 85" be sure to request 3 people for installation if you plan to have it installed higher than maybe 4-5ft off the ground. My installer informed me on the day of delivery that the standard 2 person crew could not install even just a few inches above their max height for safety reasons. They were gracious and rescheduled to come back with a 3rd person later in the week and I was glad to have it done right, even if I had to wait. Also, It helped to know exactly where I wanted the tv before hand. Some thoughts: -Find the right mount: I went with the Best Buy recommendation after also purchasing 2 others from Amazon that did not instill the highest confidence even though they were highly reviewed and crossed off all the requirements on paper. -Your streaming services, cable, etc. will likely not show off the true capability of this tv. If you want to test it out, watch a 4k/8k HD ultra video on the YouTube app on your new tv and be prepared to drool. -Resolution: should I have gone with the 8k? Meh – I haven't really thought about it since I purchased the tv since the picture quality is already great (and really limited by what you're viewing anyway). I am sure I would have enjoyed the 8k version when standing really close to the TV but otherwise no problem. -Glare: this was a concern for me going into the purchase because the room has several large windows that would be placed pretty much to most angles of the tv ..and yet I have never once been frustrated by any glare.SoGr8peWow

Initially I bought the Samsung 9-series (top of their Neo QLED 4K line) 65" QN65QN90A to replace my 15 plus year old Panasonic Plasma TV, and was beyond disappointed and preferred the picture clarity of the 15 year old plasma over the brand new Samsung, so returned it and researched further and bought a competing technology OLED and found the Samsung Neo QLED pixel bleed-over from bright pixels into dark pixels across an entire screen full of typical video picture is far more noticeable than you might initially believe. I bought the competing LG OLED C1 – immediately noticed the drastic improvement in picture quality/clarity of the LG OLED over the Samsung Neo QLED – LG OLED is what ideal HDTV picture quality is expected to be – perfect blacks unaffected by bright pixels bordering the dark pixels eliminates the slight fuzziness of the Samsung you might overlook in the showroom. The Samsung user interface is also full of programming bugs that haven't been corrected by Samsung over at least 3 separate model years. Talking with a neighbor with a low end Samsung from 3 model years prior, I found they have the exact same Samsung GUI interface glitches, bugs and poor functionality as the 2021 model year high end 9-series Neo QN90A , meaning Samsung hasn't bothered to correct and improve simple lines of programming code for over 4 years. For instance, certain Settings submenus would be randomly grayed out / disabled for no reason (including primary functions like Picture for changing Brightness/Contrast/Color Mode etc, and Broadcast for scanning over-the-air OTA HDTV channels – simply turn off the Samsung TV power and turn back on a second or 2 later and the menu option becomes enabled again. Many advanced functions deep in the nested Samsung menus would be grayed out or when selected say 'This feature not available' – leaving you unsure if it is because of the random menu disabled programming bugs or the feature really isn't available on this model (then why would it be listed in this model's menu structure, easy to hide with simple programming and model-specific 'properties' files). The Samsung program guide often defaults back to the eastern time zone even though the TV is connected to the internet, showing the wrong TV Guide time period, once you change a channel, Samsung logic then re-reads the time from whichever source (internet, OTA broadcast signal, internal TV BIOS clock) and shows the correct time and program guide time period again – there is no problem with any other computer or device connected to the internet and the router timeclock remains with the correct time while Samsung programming logic is confused. For OTA channels, you can't manually add a single channel, Samsung needs to rescan all channels which takes longer and you lose far distant channels that come in and out of signal strength. Your favorite channels also get reset by Samsung's scanning and possibly other functions. There were numerous other inexcusable Samsung glitches I've already purged from my memory. All of which my neighbor with a lower end model 3 years earlier has the same Samsung programming bugs. Do yourself a huge favor and go with OLED technology, or at minimum avoid Samsung's buggy user interface with another brand.hdtvsdca

Superb television! I was a little disenchanted with this TV at first; it did not seem to have very brilliant color (and I am really picky about this!) You can run this on VIVID setting, but this is not advised. I did have the general viewing set to VIVID but I made a lot of modifications. I even 'tweaked' a little for the EXPERT SETTINGS. Don't be intimidated by articles which suggest that only experienced personnel should use these settings. They are worthy of experimentation, in my view. Overall, I am really satisfied with the quality picture that this Sony set provides. Note about picture settings: turn black levels (on brightness settings) DOWN LOW. I first thought that turning this setting higher would give the 'black saturation' which looks so good, but you have to turn the setting DOWN. If you turn this one way up, the dark colors are 'washed out' looking as are the shades of charcoal and black. The 4k content to be found on YouTube is breath-taking with the right settings. Since I am not a gamer, I can offer no advice about use of these peripherals. The TV is well set to received wireless internet; this seems to work much better than my other 4k set. I think the cost of $1000 is about right for this one; you may able to find other brands with as good a quality picture at a lower price but I am very happy with this one. I also had bought a new Sony receiver and it interacts really nicely with the TV. This more or less is a good home theater combo ( I have surround sound Klipsch speakers which do a real nice job. You can blow the roof off with the receiver if you want to.) Overall, really satisfied with this purchase.4klover

I wanted to get a TV for the PS5 and to replace my 2018 TCL 617, was a fantastic TV for its price. I was looking at the C1 Oled, 48 inch, because that does indeed have the better picture quality compared to this, but it was also $100 more for a TV 7 inches smaller. Its amazing what this TV can pull off with just 24 dimming zones. I did a test of this in Uncharted 4, where Nate and Sam are in a basement, and you use a lighter to get around in the dark. On the TCL 617, which has 4 times as many dimming zones and actually gets brighter, there was obvious blooming and clouding around the lighter. On this TV, practically no clouding whatsoever, despite the low count of zones. Sony's tone mapping algorithm is really second to none, everything in a game that needs to be emphasized in HDR gets properly lit up, providing an amazing balanced image. I'm currently playing Horizon Forbidden West and its incredible looking. The Sun just pops and it's just a super clean, yet punchy image. I played all the way through RE: Village on this TV in a dark room and the black level performance is fantastic for the most part. Obviously if you're coming from OLED, it won't seem that amazing, but that should go without saying. Some other recent TVs that have more dimming zones might perform better in super contrasty type scenes but won't have such a balanced image. This TV has zero black crush as well, as far as I can tell. Another amazing thing this TV does too is the upscaling. 1080p content essentially looks 4k. Choose "Custom" picture settings for the best image quality, it's awesome the TV is basically calibrated outside the box. The Google TV too is very snappy on this. You can go in and out of apps super quick (barring a decent wi-fi connection). Overall though, if you want an excellent overall TV for general use and also gaming, this is a fantastic purchase. Don't expect super inky blacks all the time obviously and it could use more dimming zones. But having fewer dimming zones with a better HDR algorithm is better than more dimming zones with a much worse algorithm. Fantastic buy for $998 for the 55inch.JEF8484

I decided to get a new TV primarily for gaming and since this has HDMI 2.1, 120hz capabilities I was sold. Now for a bit of a story, I actually started out on the 50 inch model of this TV, but they had, issues… The first one had damage from shipping and needed returned, the second one, had banding all over the place, the third one had internet connection issues then flat out died after 2 days, then the fourth one had dead pixels in the center of the screen. Honestly I was frustrated because I loved the TV, but after getting so many lemons, I decided to get the LG C1 everyone raves about. Hated it. It had a garish blue light that killed my eyes, 30 fps content looked awful, and the fear of burn in was too much for me, so I returned it and decided to try the X90J again, but in the 55 inch size. Again though I had issues, dead pixels on 2 models, before I finally got one that was clean. Now you're probably asking yourself "Why go through all of this and not just get a different TV" because this thing, when you get a good one, is amazing. It has a feature on it called "Reality Creation" and that's Sony's upscaling technology. This feature makes old content look new again. If you play a lot of older games from the PS3/Xbox 360 era or before, this will make your games look remastered at 4K, and will even make your next gen systems look even better too. The 120hz is buttery smooth and works flawlessly on PS5 and Series X, Dolby vision looks incredible in movies that support it, the Google TV interface is smooth and packed with features, it has Apple airplay, and is just all around a fantastic TV. If it wasn't for the woeful quality control issues I encountered, the easily would be a 5 star rating, but I have to knock it down a few pegs for the hassle I went through. Shout out to Best Buy too for being so understanding and great with the returns. If you get this TV, immediately go on Youtube and look up a dead pixel finder, and do a banding test, then go to Rtings and check their calibration settings and you'll be good to go.Aaron

This is a nice Sony set with a very good picture and good sound. What makes this set more useable for me was the feet which are closer than similar sets. This set fits nicely on a smaller table than other sets. Setup was very straight forward and the set works very well.Duane

Great television, picture quality is 100%, it is a nice compact size for where it is located and has all the Google TV features. The only niggle I have with it is the TV program guide. The guide is hit and miss as to whether it shows information about the programs, but the most frustrating thing is how long it takes to scroll to the next, or previous, page. Other than that, I am enjoying my purchase.DaveEx

Happy with ease of set up & picture etc. but did not realise it this set up like a computer complete with battery pack ! Rather fat on the back , not slim line at all (apart from frame) I think it should be stated more this unit is closer to a true computer /laptop than a tv . I think this may have hidden costs/problems later &may have reconsidered buying this product.AdamH

Really easy to install, it’s lightweight, and can be installed on your own, however due to the size, an extra pair of hands is extremely helpful. Absolutely amazing television picture. The sharpness, clarity and detail is amazing. We are big sports fans, and tbh, the picture on this television, shows every blade of grass, and takes television viewing to the next level and beyond. If like me, your into your nature programs, then this television is a must have piece of kit. I was recently, watching an underwater documentary and a shark turned, opened its mouth and headed towards the camera, it was as though the shark was actually in front of me, and bearing down on me opened mouth. The picture quality gives the impression that you are there in the documentary. The clarity of the picture, is so good, that whilst watching a certain quiz show, you can see the contestants breaking out into beads of sweat. Well worth the investment. I’m really impressed, with the remote control, it’s sort of has rubberised outer case, so when I drop it, knock it off the table etc, it’s protected and the outer does not crack. Hence it won’t be held together with gaffer tape like my previous RC.Mum1964

Primed by friends and family to expect big things from an OLED TV I had set a high bar for the LG A1. Nevertheless it has completely surpassed expectations and I have been blown away by what LG has accomplished. For anyone looking to invest in a state of the art TV, a few areas are often front of mind when weighing up your options. My review therefore provides a brief overview of the A1's Form, Functionality, Ease of Use and Panel Quality. Form – Set up out of the box is simple and mounting it to a stand, bracket or wall is achieved with little fan fare. Once installed, the razor thin side profile works to minimise the impact of having such a large screen in the room. Face on, the miniscule bezels of the panel are barely perceptible from two metres, creating an ethereal floating effect and giving the TV a premium, minimalist finish. Functionality – Everything but the kitchen sink. The interface provides a wealth of options for granular personalisation of your viewing experience hidden behind a disarmingly smooth webOS that gets you from off to Netflix in a flash. The TV offers 4K and HDR but that just scratches the surface when compared with the many headlining functions available, including an AI sound mode that enables the (surprisingly effective) TV speakers to work seamlessly with an external sound bar / woofer. Port connectivity is good if not exceptional. USB slots for external memory can enable live pause and playback on the native Freeview player, but gamers might be disappointed by a lack of HDMI 2.1 ports (although I certainly haven't missed this!). Ease of use – LG has clearly worked diligently to provide an intuitive and fast user interface throughout the TV guide, home screen menus and settings, with the magic wand remote being a particularly ingenious and novel way of navigating. You will have access to streaming apps for all the major terrestrial channels, as well as all major online streaming platforms, each of which I have without a hitch. Panel – there's little to say here other than this is by far the most impressive panel I've ever laid eyes on. Infinite contrast with over 8 million pixels and an adept motion processing engine leaves nothing wanting and I imagine it will be decades before I have a compelling reason to upgrade. LG has delivered an intuitive and yet comprehensive user interface, an outstanding panel and an attractive form factor. Combined, the A1 offers a class leading package that I unreservedly recommendedday

OLED… You see them in the shops but once I had one at home, I couldn't believe the thing. Firstly, the Blacks are very black! And as this is an entry model that's great. Local dimming zones do an excellent job, obviously higher price models will have more dimming zones. Interface is good and has lots of apps. Sound quality is also impressive for such a thin display. HDMI 2.1 port is great to have, and the rest of the port selections are great, nothing i was missing. 4K Quality is amazingly detailed when you get the right content, and even standard HD Content looks great. As these are some of the cheapest OLED models currently about its a fantastic way to get onto the OLED train without giving away a kidney. Now I've got one at home i wouldn't go back to another TV technology. So, there has to be some things you're not a huge fan of with any product, so far, I've found, Legs for TV were very flimsy, only plastic, TV is very thin at the top, but the bottom isn't, so defeats the need to make the Top of the panel so thin. Remote is good if the apps pinned to the buttons are what you use, and although there are plenty of apps etc the interface still feels a little mixed up / confusing. But in summary this is an amazing TV for the Price, and id highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try and OLED TV, just a word of warning, go bigger, always go bigger, 55" is great but i wish id got a 65".cakonopka

Owned 6 months now. Picture superior, colors are realistic the shades of them not overdone. Streaming, mostly YouTube vids flawless. No buffering ever. Purchased the needed adapter for my 10-year-old DVD and VCR players. Most all of my older discs and tapes appeared upscaled as well as were most older TV shows except for ones that probably were recorded at a different speed, as Sony upscaling starts at 480p. 4K is the big plus. I feel like being immersed within the Picture with the larger 50" screen. Preferred 55"+ but my home area is small. 2 calls to Sony Customer services were very positive. From other reviews I read about certain issues I felt that some of these were addressed within my tv from the start up. Example: when turning on it will always go to the google start page and from there I hit TV button and it will always go the last channel I watched. I like the remote it has it all on one platform including operating my Sony dvd player and Sony sound bar. I also found the screen on mine can be seen clearly from almost up to an 180 degree angle. I even see it clearly from my kitchen which is about 15 feet away. At 180 angle the pic loses some of the color. The "night" views of say Las Vegas vids and others are super clear, the lighting is so bright and enhanced it is like your there. I had a Sony Vega Trinitron 32" for 12 years and finally decided it was time to upgrade. Two great choices.Wellpleasedsenior

Well, if you are in the market for a new TV, you’d better buckle up! Our 60” 7 yr. old Samsung started with an issue of a dark line across the screen (see 1st pic), so I started researching the myriad of televisions made. Also, tv repair guy told me “don’t expect to get more than 5-7 yrs. out of these new TV’s”. WHAT? At these prices, that’s all you get?!?!

I checked out Best Buy and bought a 70” TLC, online with curbside pickup. Went last Sunday and picked it up, brought it home, had Jules Ann help me unbox it, put the brackets on the back, hooked everything up, hung it on the wall and NO PICTURE!! Just hard lines!! See 2nd pic!! Called Best Buy, and was told to bring it back for another or exchange/upgrade.

Took back, was greeted by their front door guy, who was awesome! He put me in contact with a guy from the TV department and “Shawn” explained about 600 TV’s in great detail! There are SO many choices and SO many prices, my head was spinning! He really did a great job with listening to my budget and telling me about all the options. He said 70” TV’s are most companies low end options and really recommend coming up to 75” or going down to 65”. I opted to go BIGGER with a 75” Sony. Also, best to stay “name brand” when choosing a new TV.

So, that $500 TLC quickly went to a $999 Sony and I opted for the 5 yr. protection plan, even though I know it will break on the 5 yr. 1 week mark!! Anyway, $1,200 and 24 months 0% interest to pay it off and it is GREAT!!

Now, if you go for it, you will find 4K is the “big deal” now. And, after I got it, delivered this time, and Julie and I once again, hooked it up and hung it on the wall, the picture was good, but not “awesome”. So, I looked into this whole 4K thing and found we weren’t even recieving a 4K signal. I called Xfinity and was told “Oh yes Mr. Jeff, we will have to send you out a box for that. And, Mr. Jeff you will be happy to know this is a FREE box and comes with Peacock, a $4.99 a month value, also FREE.” Now, he must have dealt with me in the past, because I do like FREE, but I felt it necessary to remind him that “we pay $300 a month for cable, internet and landlines” (yes, with my Mother here, we have landlines), he quickly told me “Yes, Mr. Jeff, I see you have been a very loyal customer and I will credit your account the $15 for shipping the new 4K box 📦 out to you.” I said “Thanks, but I was really hoping to get this before the Super Bowl, since we are having a small gathering.” He said he would “get a rush on it” and damn if it did show up today!!

I have hooked up this new 4K box, to the new 4K TV and WOW, it is INCREDIBLE!!! Basketball, Golf and the Olympics all look outstanding!! I’m sure football will be the same!! Movies are also looking GREAT!! I mean, who doesn’t like a BIGGER TV?!?

I would definitely recommend Best Buy and I used the one in Ownings Mills, Maryland. Ask for Shawn, he knows his TV’s.Jeff Hinton

THE GOOD: My first 55" tv ever and the first Sony in 25 years! First, the picture (4K) is superb and worth the cost. It walks all over ANY 1080 image! Plenty of adjustments you can make )some required reading to see exactly what they do). Another positive is the weight at appx 50-55 pounds. Not bad because it is a big TV and should have some heft. Finally, sound is surprisingly GOOD for flat screen TV speakers. These speakers can get loud while staying quite clear, but this is no hard hitting subwoofer! As it sits, I had an easy time adjusting settings for loud/clear audio for NASCAR races and Indycar races. I wish this Sony had 4 corner woofers for tight bass accompanying the good high and mid range sound it already has. The Neutral: I'm not happy, nor mad about the constant gagging to "setup your Google Tv channels now. Well I use a ROKU with about 6 pay-for streaming channels and none are Google TV that the Sony software pushes so hard. It wasn't very difficult to setup my ROKU, yet it wasn't CLEARLY STATED / recommended for the best HDMI cable needed for true top of the line 4K viewing, great sound. Sony should offer a TOP version HDMI cable for a great HDMI experience. PRICE: Obviously not cheap or free, but under $1000 with taxes and shipping. $865 shipped by FedEx 2-day delivery was fine with me. The BAD: I feel Sony could have given a stronger warranty for a new, higher end set with a load of tips and tricks. I think a solid 6- month FULL COVERAGE warranty of items with shipping, handling, wear and tear, AND a comparable to even 1 step-up better model TV set to take its place in the event something goes afoul. Finally back to speakers: these are great but with some Sony engineering magic, add a true bass speaker in the lower left and lower right front fascia to broadcast out hard hitting, tight, snappy BASS! Not a subwoofer; they would need too much room. 2 or even 4 square woofers would add next level sound! DavidFrances

I just finished a minor update on my home office and wanted to add a flush mounted tv to be used occasionally for video conferencing, but also as part of my wall decor. The Frame fit the bill and really looks sharp in art mode. My Best Buy experience was great – checked out a floor model in store on Cyber Monday and was able to get a 55" model of tv for $500 cheaper than it was selling just a few days later. Had to order the TV as none in stock at my local BB, but delivery occurred 3 days later – so no problem. Mounting the TV is where the problems started to occur. The TV was supposed to come with 2 different sets of mounting hardware to affix the flush mount to the back of the TV – 2 Long screws (if you wanted it spaced off the wall with spacers) or 2 short (if you want to flush mount it, like I did). My factory sealed package had 3 long and 1 short. The screws are of a very particular size and shape, and not something you can replace at the hardware store. I called Samsung (well, texted them – their phone system doesn't seem to work) and had a terribly frustrating encounter with a service rep who seemed to have no idea what I was saying, even though I was texting pictures of the hardware held against a ruler. They eventually agreed to send a new hardware package – in 15 – 21 business days ! Never got a confirmation about my request, still don't have the hardware. I tried to go up to my Best Buy to see if they had an open set of hardware – they were sympathetic and willing to exchange the whole TV, but I already have the thing unpacked and ready to go. Totally frustrating. I suppose if I don't get the new hardware in a couple weeks, I'll have to return the whole thing, and if that happens – this will be my last Samsung purchase ever (too bad, I've got another TV and 4 phones I kind of like). Terrible business to lose a customer over a 5 cent piece of hardware because your service department couldn't be bothered to arrange for one to be put in an envelope with a stamp and be mailed out. So, I guess I have to be fair – the TV looks great and does exactly what I wanted. But it's been a 3 week headache that Samsung could care less about and likely I'm not going to have my office "done" before the holidays. ** Also note it is not abundantly clear on the advertising material, but the One Connect cable they tout is not in-wall rated – so even though there is zero chance anyone alive has ever bought this TV with the idea of NOT hiding the cables in the drywall, if you want to do that you will need to run conduit OR spend another $200 to buy their super expensive and not-at-all-available-anywhere-in-the-United-States in-wall rated cable. Terrible decision by Samsung to not just include that with the TV.JohnV

If you have ever owned a Samsung TV, you are familiar with the features: access to apps, internet browser, etc. If you have a Samsung phone, you can also download the SmartThings app and connect the TV to your phone. We are huge Samsung fans. When I bought my home, I bought a Samsung TV for our living room. A few years later, I bought a Samsung TV for my bedroom. I love that I can utilize different apps within our television, such as Roku, internet browser, internet service provider app, and more! We received the 55" Samsung The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV to review. I chose the smallest size available as I am unsure if I want to have it in my bedroom or replace our living room television as it is about 4 years old. I may be selfish and replace my bedroom television with this new one. So far, we are impressed with the picture quality. The colors are so crisp. The picture quality is impressive. I also appreciate the anti-reflection with matte display. With my former television, I always get a glare if I am watching early morning or when the sun is shining! I use my new Samsung TV to watch my favorite shows and movies. I use a few apps as well to view my favorite programming (Roku, Xfinity, etc) The 55" Samsung The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV allows you to elevate your home decor. You can easily transform your television into a work of art when you are not watching by using Art Mode. This is such a unique feature! I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.beautybrite

After a lot of consideration I bought The Frame from the very helpful Richer Sounds. They fairly pointed out that one was paying a premium for design and could get a better absolute picture with another product. That advice was correct in that the picture is not the very best, and hard to adjust, but this is a design concept which suited us and we do not regret the decision. The combination of Frame as a picture display and remote connection box with a near invisible wire works extremely well if you do not want a room dominated by a rectangle of plate glass. Especially with the 2022 addition of a matt screen. Therefore 5/5 for the basic concept. This is a great buy for people whose TV is an adjunct to their lives and not something to dominate them. It comes as a surprise that matters then descend downhill in both concept and execution. 1. It is no surprise these days that there are effectively no instructions. The thickest wadge of paper being the H&S disclaimers nobody reads. But where is the QR code in the box, applies to the Sound bar as well, to download the manual? 2. You can find these documents on the Samsung site but it is a model of obfuscation. The word support is in tiny print even after you manage, with great difficulty, to navigate to the page for your product. The search on the site is dreadful. The FAQ a disgrace. Such answers as there are not hyperlinked to more detailed explanation. Whoever manages these pages for Samsung should be sent to an inner circle of hell. Where he/she can have a similar experience to the customer. 3. The mounting bracket for the Frame is a great design. Again, the documentation is a curate's egg. Good in parts but missing such as the obvious need for a spirit level to help anyone doing the job themselves. Far more remiss is that the suitably hefty screws to fix the brackets are complete junk. The tiny Philips (not Posidrive) heads chew up if the needed force is put on them having drilled an 8mm hole for the raw plugs. The hex on them is so minute and useless that one could miss its existence. These should be Allen bolts with a proper hex on them. They are cheap junk letting down the good quality of the rest of the fixing ironmongery. 4. The templates for the fixing holes are a good idea but again poorly executed. For many people exact centre and height will be critical. Whoever drew the templates and the accompanying measurements has simply failed to factor that. I had to use my own measurements based on hole positions and the offset to the top of the template paper so that I could position my spirit level and get it right. I spent a long time double and tripple checking those measurements. I should not have needed to. 5. Getting the TV on the brackets was something my wife and I were easily able to achieve. It is a super design as are the flat to the wall brackets. 6. Connecting the TV and Sound Bar were not hard but would have been easier had there been a proper layout plan. It took me some time to find the USB ports (no USB-C BTW) as they are concealed on the side of the remote box. Itself an excellent idea. 7. Setting up the TV was not the simple exercise it should have been. I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra which is running the latest updates. It failed to work. That then left me with the manual settings. Which is where I found that the combination of buried settings on the TV itself with a myriad of sub menus and two truly terrible remote controls left me wondering whether to put the thing back in the box and buy a Sony or LG. The white remote is so pared down that it is nearly impossible to use without reference to the guide. The black one is like something from 1980 with even the movement arrows so functionally badly set out that one is as likely to hit the wrong button as the right one. Samsung might do well to have a crash course from Amazon who have really cracked how to make set up and control work. Actually, I am considering ditching the smart side of the TV. See below. 8. I am still not sure that I have optimised the picture. Certainly, anyone not technical and who accepts the out of the box settings would end up with an over-bright screen (max brightness being the default) and sub-optimal quality. They would get no help from anything provided by Samsung to improve it. Further, with the Sound Bar the sound was out of sync with the picture and were I to review the setting on that I would want a brick to smash the thing as ludicrously unhelpful. For goodness sake, Amazon even provide a mobile phone control app for a lot of their kit. Why has Samsung not done this for a WiFi connected and BT Sound Bar? It is another example of failing to concentrate on the end user UX. I think I have now got the picture and sound to sync. 9. The smart apps, if that is the right phrase, have two major failings. The first being that 3 year support for a product costing 4 figures is unacceptable. Back to buying a Fire Stick? The second is that the implementation of thJTEF

This is my very first 65" and 4K TV. The QN60B Samsung QLED 4K Smart TV is absolutely amazing! It’s incredibly thin. Before I even did setup, just after installing it on the wall, I noticed that after using my Samsung phone, the TV had automatically recognized and connected to my Samsung soundbar through the software. It recognized the series and everything. It automatically switched the volume over to the soundbar so that my Samsung TV remote volume buttons actually control the soundbar and not the TV volume. I didn't have to download another app or find some deep-hidden setting. It also easily connected to my Amazon account and for the first time, I can change my volume just by telling Alexa!!! The ease of having everything pretty much connect itself was amazing, no having to dive too deep into a manual or have to find some loop hole to get something to work. One word for this TV? EASY! All of this in and of itself was awesome but the video…Oh my gosh, you would have thought this was a 3D TV. My husband and I watched The Walking Dead and it looks like you are standing right next to the actors. It is so crisp and clear and we noticed how much detail in the picture we've never been able to pick up on before. We saw details that we had missed before because we can finally see!! Between the size and the QLED 4K, it reminds me of VR. We watched a movie with the kids and even though it was an animated film, the picture quality makes it look like you are right there with the characters. It's funny because we saw more of the mannerisms displayed by the characters in the way they moved and in their expressions – I felt like I was watching the movie for the first time. Now, I haven't previously owned a Samsung TV with this capability, but seeing it in QLED 4K, it changes the way you see movies and characters. My family and I are gamers. When we tested out with the Switch and played Mario Kart, we were thrilled that although we had to break up the screen for the four of us, it was so much easier to see! We each had 32" for our viewing square!! I could make out better where I was going, was able to better see traps, and overall had a greater appreciation for the upgraded picture quality. The kids absolutely loved it and wanted to stay up to see more movies in the better quality. Even the sound seemed better (matching electronics?). It's amazing how much of a difference 4K is! I have received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.Lauren1988

Recently purchased the 2022 55" Serif. Externally it is a gorgeous looking TV that doesn't for once, look like a piece of huge tech dominating the living room but rather more like part of the decor. In fact it will likely become a minor talking point with guests seeing it for the first time because it is so distinctive and nice looking. The screen is stunning. More than bright enough in bright daylight near windows. Colours are natural (after tweaking the picture settings from the factory showroom one). Nice balanced tones and contrast. The new matt screen surface feature for the 2022 version is brilliant, neutralising all ambient light reflections. I predict other manufacturers will copy this feature looking ahead. The Serif plays nicely with the latest Sonos Arc soundbar via eArc-HDMI connectivity but did need some tweaking to sync the sound to the image which can be achieved via settings. Setting up via the software prompts/guide is easy and should be too for the non-techies out there. Connected to our home WiFi easily. I should mention Samsung's treatment of the rear, especially the cable management and the smooth panel that unclips / clips back on, hiding the ports and cables, is well thought through and a nice touch providing a dust free clear lines appearance. I haven't yet used the inbuilt NFC capability on top of the TV to play music directly from my phone as we use a connected media centre (Mac Mini) to store and play our media (music, movies, pictures). On this point, we are experiencing HDMI connectivity issues between the Mac Mini and the Serif. The Serif becoming a monitor for the Mac Mini for playback of media. Other users online are experiencing similar issues apparently. I'm currently looking at a workaround so hopefully this can be resolved. Finally, a couple of other mentions – the remote control is very good. Minimal controls. Just enough to use day-to-day. Easy to read and use via the inbuilt Samsung TV menu navigation. Feels great in your hand. Responsive. Controls both the TV and the Sonos Arc and does not need environmentally wasteful AA or AAA batteries. Yes that is right, it charges its own inbuilt lithium battery, initially via a USB-C cable and then is kept topped up via a small solar panel on the rear. Brilliant Samsung! Finally a nice looking remote one is happy to leave out on the coffee table rather than hide away. The design complements the TV design nicely. The final item worth mentioning too is how easy it is to load apps into the menu. We stream all of our free2air channels rather than receive via broadcast (via TV antenna). Searching for iView and SBSOnDemand apps and loading them took a couple of minutes at most. You can easily delete unwanted channel / streaming apps if like me you want to get rid of clutter. Samsung pre-loads software/apps I didn't want. Samsung have included advertising in their software. Some may not like this 'intrusion'. I ignore it and choose the app I'm looking for. Would I recommend the Serif? Yes. Certainly one to consider to compare with others if you are in the market for a new TV along with its sister product, the Samsung Frame (same tech features).Winco

My initial thoughts while unboxing the 75” Samsung Q60B was how impressively slim both the width of the TV is as well as the bezel around the screen. This replaced a 2017 55” LG and even with the big upgrade in screen size, the Q60B still feels less obtrusive in my living room since it sits so much closer to the wall. That being said, I was a bit disappointed when I noticed a gap between the back panel of the TV where it attaches to the screen in the top left corner. Definitely a slight manufacturer defect that I wouldn’t expect from a TV in this price range. Luckily it doesn’t seem to affect the image quality but as the other three corners sit flush with the screen, it is a noticeable defect. After getting the TV mounted and turned on, the setup was pretty straight forward. The SolarCell remote is awesome and can be charged with the built in solar panel on the back or via usb-c. The picture quality is incredible. I felt like I was watching newly remastered versions of existing TV shows. There’s a noticeably wider range of colors than previous televisions I’ve had, but I will say that out of the box, the default picture settings can be a bit hot when it comes to whites or brighter scenes. As far as gaming, there are times where dark objects on screen can be hard to differentiate from dark backgrounds. I do believe this can also be corrected by adjusting the picture settings, but it stood out as something I’d need to look into and work on. Who do I think this TV is for? If you’re like me coming from an older, smaller entry level 4k television and you’re looking for a feature loaded TV with a size upgrade from a reputable brand that won’t break the bank, I highly recommend the 75” Q60B. It looks more expensive than it is, and it’s got the tech to keep you happy for years to come. If you’re a gamer and willing to spend a bit more to get something with a 120hz refresh rate for your next gen console, you might want to hold off. I received this TV at a discounted price in exchange for my review.gus99041

originally I was going to get a cheaper TV, near the $300-400 range during the BF sale and came in store to take a look at what they had. for every single TV under $500, the picture quality was beyond disappointing. when I came over to this display, the Bravia TVs were SO visually satisfying that I knew I needed to bring one home. I am going to be eating very light for awhile to accommodate this purchase, but it's so worth it. I mounted it on my wall with a rocketfish mount and movies and shows do so well on this TV. I would recommend turning off some of the color correction settings, as it can cause weird movement and discoloration but ultimately this has been a delight to use. i recommend looking in to optimized settings for these online to get the most out of your TV. if you can afford the 60fps version I would go with that, but the 30 has been doing well enough. the built in speakers are solid, but the $200 Bose TV soundbar has blown away every sub-$1000 sound bar system that was on display in Best Buy. I am a musician and softcore audiophile, so sound quality is a priority. the optical connection is the way to go if you want to be impressed. overall 10/10, would happily purchase again. only complaint is a software one- I wish there were a way to *only* show titles I already have access to with my current subscriptions on the home page. nothing more gross than selecting something and finding out you have to pay more to view it. Sony cannot control what happens inside of apps, but it can control what it shows me on the Home page. additionally, the remote controller is NICE! it feels so solid and is aesthetically pleasing- I hate a bulky, ugly remote but this one feels and looks excellent. killer design across all fronts.Misha

Great looking TV good size for me not too big and not too small. Very easy to set up the TV, the feet were straightforward, slotting safely into place with no screws to worry about. I found the on screen set up guide extremely friendly to follow. I soon had the TV up and performing complete with internet connection and Google TV. The standard picture quality was adequate, however with a visit to the comprehensive on screen settings it is possible to upgrade the picture quality to vivid and using BBCiPlayer some programmes can be set up and watched in UHD. The only snag I have encountered was when I connected my SkyQ system to the TV. As the TV is such a new model the Sky remote control is not yet listed. All this means is that for now the volume setting on Sky has to be adjusted from the Sony remote. I know that over the coming weeks the TV remote will be listed by Sky and I will be able to cure this small problem. I would certainly recommend this TV to my friends. The TV is a great design either for a table top or for a wall mount. The built in speakers are fine and the sound is adequate, i have linked up my existing Sony soundbar and I will compensate the sound for watching concerts and movies. There are a terrific number of features built into this TV and yet the price point is well within reach. I love exploring this smart TV and it has extended my knowledge and enjoyment of what is available as all its features are so responsive and easy to use. I am now in my early seventies and I still enjoy technology advancements. I am male, living in the South West. As a Sony fan of many years I found this Bravia a superb piece of kit and without hesitation I would recommend Sony to my friends and relativeshobbsy

This Hisense TV is absolutely amazing. It's also using Google's Android OS for it's software. There are a lot of advantages if you're in the Android eco system. The Google Play Store is pre-installed on this TV, so you will be able to access your Google Play store account directly from this TV and you'll have the ability to download Apps from the Google Play Store and use them on the TV. This is a huge advantage over other TVs because you'll be able to find more of the apps you want using the Google Play Store rather than some of these other companies online app store. I purchased this TV after my TCL Roku TV's backlit array went out.. I had a 65" TCL and this TV replaced it. I use this TV as a monitor plugged in via HDMI to my ASUS laptop. I use it as a 4k Monitor to work and code with. The HDR feature is amazing and works very well with my laptop. Also being able to watch videos full screen looks amazing as well. The picture quality is really good considering how I use the TV. In Windows, I am able to set the resolution to 4096×2160. When using the standard 4K 3840×2160, the picture didn't look as good coming from my laptop. I discovered the 4096×2160 in the display settings in Windows 10 and switched and that made all the difference in the picture quality. So if you're intending to use this to hook up your PC/Computer/Mac, make sure you set it to that resolution and the picture quality will look amazing in comparison. The sound that comes out of the speakers on the TV is what most TVs sound like. It can be very loud without distortion but lacks the quality of a good sound bar or my Sonos speakers.. but again, this is to be expected.. If this is for a bedroom, then it will sound perfect there.. Even if this is for your living room, it will fill your living room with good sound, it will just lack a bit more bass than I am used to. It does have options for TruSurround and TruBass, and these do make the TV sound a bit better than your every day TV.. So it's definitely an improvement over my previous TV. Also with Dialog Clarity, it helps to ensure that when you're watching TV and there is talking going on, it prioritizes that over music or something playing in the background on your show. This TV also has an option to tell it that it's been wall mounted so that it will adjust the sound for a TV that is higher up on the wall and not on a stand where it can bounce the sound all over the room. One of the features this TV has that my other one did not have is a lip sync sound setting.. With this you can adjust the delay of the sound to make it sync up with the video or show you're watching.. This way it won't look like a bad kung foo movie. There is also Auto Volume Control so that it will help keep the sound normalized. The amount of options this TV has to allow you to set is absolutely amazing.. There are options for all kinds of different things that my other TCL Roku TV did not have. Like for picture mode, you get 6 options.. And the options are for both HDR or non HDR, Vivid, Standard, Energy Saving, Game, Sport, and Theater. These all adjust how the picture looks on the screen. Since I use this on my laptop, I generally keep it on HDR Game so that it's processing the image quickly for the PC so you don't notice any real lag while moving the mouse, watching a video, or playing a video game. This TV also has the ability to pair speakers via bluetooth and then use your TV as an amazon alexa device. You will of course need to sync this with your amazon account, but then you have access to amazon alexa built right into the device. As mentioned above, you have access to the Google Play Store, but keep in mind, this TV only has 4.3GB of storage.. So you're not going to have a lot of space for apps.. Although you can get quite a lot of apps on it. When going through the setup, it recommended quite a few apps if you wanted to get the TV to go ahead and install them for you to kind of get you up and running quickly.. Among these is Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Twitch, Youtube TV, Youtube Music, etc. You get the idea.. After going through the setup and choosing the apps that I wanted installed, I have 25 apps installed and 2.0GB of free space left on the device.. So you will be able to get quite a few apps installed to use. This is a Google Android based TV and you can chromecast to it. So it's very helpful to be able to pull up your phone or other things to it. Since I will be purchasing a security system here in the near future, from what I'm reading, I should be able to use my voice to say show my security camera on my TV and using the Chomecast technology, it should show up on the TV.. It will be very interesting to see if this works like that.. One feature that this TV also has it Automatic Content Recognition. It uses this to adjust the TV to what it thinks is the most optimal setting based on what you're listening to and/or watching. You can turn these on individually..

I searched long and hard deciding which TV to buy (70 inch Hisense, Android). I thought the reviews on this site were an indication of the quality of the TV I would be getting. I also purchased a Hisense 2.1 Sound Bar – specifically wanting to get a matched pair from the same manufacturer in order to avoid any glitches. Sadly, there is some problem with the Hisense TV and it's sound setup. After reading the manuals and trying everything we contacted the Hisense Customer Support group and they gave us a phone number to speak to. Simply stated, the Sound Bar does not stay connected to the TV. It (the ARC Setting) will just disappear and go back to using the Internal Speakers on the TV. The Customer Support Group had us reset the TV and all settings, and it worked for a while, but then started with the same failure more. We continually have to go into the Settings and switch the sound back to the ARC / Sound Bar. Often times watch TV with the Sound Bar is like an old Japanese Godzilla movie from the 1950's where the picture and sound don't match up. While I like the Hisense TV and thought the price was a good value, I would not repurchase this product due to the problems with the TV and Sound Bar working together.JLESeminole

I use it as a second monitor for my computer that I stream to. Couple things I wish I knew, you cannot have it start on a particular HDMI input, so that when I turn it on it defaults to the android screen. Second is for some crazy reason, unlike Roku, I cannot add my cable provider app to the menu. Not supported. It was supported on my old Roku TV. Had I known these things I may have actually regrettably opted for the ROKU version of this TV which was the same price. An advantage is the Android version has Dolby Vision, the Roku version does not. The color difference between the Roku HDR10+ and Dolby Vision is amazing, although no TV can take the full advantage yet of it's color scope. Dolby Vision vs. HDR10+ HDR10+ formats are designed with 10 bit and 1.07 billion colors However, Dolby vision HDR formats are designed with 12 bit and 68.7 billion colors. That's quite a bit. I can buy a streaming Roku device for short change and then have everything I need. Very happy with the pros and cons and that I have the Android version.MD1951

The picture quality (which ultimately is what matters most) is good but nowhere close to my other Hisense TV which is a 65H9. As such I would say this TV is suitable for a bedroom but not your main viewing room. The 65H9 is brighter, has better contrast and has a native refresh of 120Hz. This TV is stuck at 60Hz and despite 240Hz motion compensation, just isn't as convincing. The picture suffers from mediocre contrast and slightly washed-out color (compared to the H9 series). Whereas with the H9 you could enjoyably watch the TV with the out-of-the-box settings, the U6 truly requires a half hour playing with the picture settings to get a pleasing result. I noticed the motion compensation was turned off by default. After playing with the picture settings, we found a satisfactory compromise between color and contrast. We left the motion compensation turned on because otherwise the TV is hard to watch during action sequences. Overall, in terms of picture quality, I would suggest spending the same, or less, money on a FHD (2K) TV – especially if that TV comes with 120Hz native and better color. But of course, it's all subjective! Where the U6 does win is the menu navigation and especially the settings – these are head-and-shoulders better than the H9. We had no issues getting ApplePlay to work and likewise we were able to quickly change the optical audio output to the format required by our receiver. The navigation speed is also better than our H9 TV which came as a surprise. We will primarily be using a 4K Fire Cube TV but it's good to know the 'Smart' part of this TV is respectable. We do not play games on TV so cannot comment on that capability. Default sound (not using our receiver) was also adequate but not spectacular. So, was it worth what we paid? Well, mostly yes. However, I would recommend you evaluate alongside others in the same price category before buying – go compare the picture quality for yourself. I'm not sure if I would've bought this TV had I done so – unfortunately I was falsely biased by the superb picture on our Hisense 65H9! Anyhow, Best Buy staff did a great job – I picked up the TV the day after Thanksgiving and it was a zoo! However, the staff were helpful, efficient and got me on my way quickly. The packaging was intact, the item brand new (not previously opened) and functionally the TV is perfect. Requires a 200 x 300 wall mount (no surprise).AlastairS

The Hisense Uled 4k is the most stunning, vibrant, sharp, and most clear sounding television experience me and my family and friends have experienced to date. This past weekend with UFC fight night we found ourself lost into new vibrant colors. Our past television failed to deliver to new standards that the Uled Hisense has brought to our viewing experience. With the crystal clear sound of every punch and kick we heard with the Dolby atmos features the television has to offer. The sharpness in the quality of the fighters were brought to life in every walk out has our minds blown and amazed that this powerful television made such a difference in experiencing how up to standard other brands should be up to par with the new Hisense UlE4kNelson59836

Picture looks really great considering the price I got it for on black friday. No complaints in that department. My only issue is that the software on this TV is below par. It has only been 2 weeks and the Google TV interface is already lagging a bit in day to day usage. The TV recceived an update that enabled HomeKit and Airplay from apple devices. This was great and was the only feature the TV was missing to make it an absolute steal for me. Unfortunately my experience with this has been really bad. I set it up and after I turned the TV off and turned it back on the TV would no longer show up in the home app or on the device list for airplay. I tried going to AirPlay settings to fix this issue but now pressing the AirPlay settings menu now just results in a black screen and nothing happens. Extremely dissapointed in this but you get what you pay for I guess. Will probably buy an apple TV 4K to fix these software frustrations down the line.Cole

Well for the price "was on sale" and what i need it for it was 1 of 2 options i was looking at it does actually well. I purchased for my 11 year old who just wanted something to watch some hulu,hbo,Netflix and such on. Picture looks great so far, clear and vibrant and is about average for ease of use. Only problems are refresh rate and sound even then its fine at this price point. Sound isnt bad basically what you'd expect out of a cheaper tv. Actually ive heard far worse, ones you have to crank until them tweeters sing inside your head and then for some reason you still cant hear it. This isnt like that but isnt a 500$ stand alone speaker. Would work good for a RV tv or spare bedroom. You can get a better TV for about 60 to 80 bucks more or so. You can also spend 2 grand and get something great. But for 250$ I aint mad about it.WhyAmIHere

IDK, somehow Amazon suddenly making TV's and budget models just seems like an experiment and one I wish to study a few more years before coming to a conclusion on. Their TV's aren't terrible, reliability is TBD for sure, but their so comparable overall to long established budget brands like Insignia & Hisense I'd probably say go with one of them because their an established TV maker. Whereas Amazon is still new enough to TV's to the point that I think it's very fair to question their reputation in this field. Any company can make TV's! This looks like a typical budget TV but I'm definitely holding off on giving a final opinion here until Amazon TV's have been around for at least 5 years. Until then, their reliability is definitely a valid question.Matt

Picked one of these up from a local Best Buy. The first one I had to take back because of a burning smell which I suspect the glue they use on the screens was it or a bad tv logic board. This also happened with the toshiba hisense made fire tv which I had too manny problems with which I took back . Now the second Amazon fire series 4 tv I exchanged it fore doesn’t have the burning smell but had to turn up the brightness and colors on the second one. Also have to note if you set these TVs to movie color setting the tv will flicker. Which means eighter the tv can’t handle that setting or Amazon needs to come up with an update to fix that and the dull colors and bit too dark for the screen. But noted I think tcl made these TVs for Amazon and there not the greatest tv company so your gonna get inconsistent quality control etc. I needed this tv because of the HDMI earc connection for proper Dolby Atmos sound to work with an Atmos sound bar. Also the 4K . Too bad this model doesn’t support Dolby vision it should have for this price. Overall it’s an ok tv if you find one cheap enough but I wouldn’t recommend it otherwise.John

Bought the tv 2 weeks ago, and noticed that the picture requires a bit of tweaking sometimes. The tv automatically detects what type of movie you are watching and switches to the best picture mode, so for some movies the picture is really astonishing but sometimes the picture is average (in my opinion, the "standard" picture mode could be better, I find that my old Samsung TV that is 5 years old has a better picture than this Sony TV when comparing to the Stand mode). Now, for gaming I really enjoyed it. Again, after a bit of tweaking, the picture was great. It has the most recent features so you can enjoy 4k at 60 FPS. Finally, the audio also is a bit average. To be honest, I think I was expecting more from a brand like Sony, but overall, the TV is pretty decent.andrew27

It's been over a month. I love it! Especially when watching anime. The colours are just beautiful with great contrast and sharpness. No reflection problems whatsoever. During dark scenes there is a little bit of blooming but it's doesn't really bother me. Watching streaming services have been a game changer as dolby vision adds visual impact I've never seen. (My old tv was an 32inch lcd panasonic from 2010) It's amazing how much tv and technology have changed over the years. I was more surprised with the speakers. They were pretty good to me considering other reviews I saw. Obviously a sound bar is better but I think it's fine. Very happy with the purchase and got a good deal with a soundbar.

This is a great TV in a lot of ways, but it has some serious problems. I believe these are all design problems… I don't think I just got a lemon. (1) When you turn off the TV, the Wi-Fi connection is not properly maintained. I often see error messages when I turn the TV back on saying "No Wi-Fi connection" or "Internet connection lost". Most of the time this will resolve itself fairly quickly, but it's still annoying, and sometimes it can take well over two minutes to re-connect. Sony support will most likely respond with a link to an article suggesting you try things like resetting your cable modem and router. This advice is worthless as the fault lies with the TV, not with your network. The only way around this issue is to turn off the Wi-Fi and connect the TV directly to your router with an Ethernet cable. At least that's the only thing that worked for me. (2) I was shocked to find that this TV has some really bad motion problems. For example, a scene will cut to an actor who simply turns their head, and it looks like half-a-dozen frames were dropped (very jerky motion). I'm seeing frame-drops all over the place. Frankly, I never imagined an advanced TV like this with a native 120hz refresh rate and motion interpolation support would have any problems like this, but it does. Once again, the suggestions from Sony have been worthless. I've tried everything possible including doing a factory reset on the TV, but the motion problems still persist. (3) If you wish to use the TV speakers, be aware that there are no sound modes. Fortunately there is a 7-band equalizer in the settings, but it's pretty much worthless. While it sort of works, the adjustment range is so limited that I can hardly tell it's doing anything, so forget tailoring the sound to your liking. (4) I really don't care for the stands that came with this TV. First, they are extremely thin, with very tiny pads on each end. Second, Sony purposely designed the feet so the TV will tilt back on an angle rather than stand up straight. This seems crazy to me, but apparently Sony does this with all their TVs. I had to stick small felt pads under the back feet to correct the problem. It's very unfortunate that Sony released this model before it was ready, and now I'm stuck with all these problems. The motion problems are the worst as there is no work-around.Giarc

This android TV has so many impressive features. For a family with young kids, one of the major challenges I face is filtering out all inappropriate programmes for young kids. The Sony KD55X85KAEP TV went above and beyond in this. The security features mean business. I can lock apps, games, programmes with passwords, set viewing times, or even lock the TV entirely. This feature has given me peace of mind when the kids are in control of the remote. For the remote, there are two of them – one to set up the TV (mainly), of course, it can be used to control the TV after the set up. The second one is the most used. There are four keys that takes you straight to YouTube, Netflix, Disney plus and Amazon Prime Videos. The same remote controls my soundbar that has been wirelessly connected to the TV. It’s incredibly ingenious. For storage for apps and games, the TV has 4.4GB internal memory. However, some of my games are quite heavy. I inserted a USB flash drive and boom, the TV accepted it as internal storage. I now have over 30GB of storage space for apps and games. The icing on the cake is the quality of the display. The crystal clear, unambiguous, pure display could glue you to this TV for hours. I had to watch movies I had watched before, and I can tell that TV displays, matter! I wall-mounted this device, the flat feature is so gorgeous that all I can say is that I have the meeting point of art and engineering on my wall. One feature I also loved is that the screen can be set to respond to external lightning. If it is too bright in the living room, the screen adjusts to ensure a clear and pure viewing. I strongly recommend this TV.Broadway

Awesome tv, im happy I went with the 43 it's the perfect size. I'm running with an Xbox series S , to get 120hz you do have to chage some settings. Go into your settings on the TV, select channels & inputs, click on external inputs , and select HDMI signal format. This TV has 4 HDMI ports but 3 and 4 are HDMI 2.1 and can do 120hz video. I'm using the Xbox series S. I use enhanced format VRR to get 120hz 4k gaming looks amazing. The series S can only run enhanced format Dolby vision at 60hz 4k. Not a limitation of the TV I should note. Advertised knits were lower however than I expected however color is perfect brights look great and blacks are black, so the low rating surprised me, On sale this is one wicked TV. Best for dark room viewing in my opinion and the VA screen looks best viewing straight on, which is how I watch TV and game. Lovely remote, a joy to use, I used to wish that buttons were illuminated somehow for dark room viewing on all TV remotes. Until I started to use the voice commands on this TV, I haven't pick up my remote in a week, so five stars. For an entry level 4k 120hz TV I think this sony x85k provides excellent value, it looks sharp nice quality metal feet that slide and click into place and require no hand tools and feel very sturdy. One highlight for me is the excellent sound quality Sony hit it out of the park for me here.Brennan

Overall, this is a great TV and was an upgrade from a Vizio 55" M series that we had that was a few years old. Picture quality is a significant improvement and the true 120 hz refresh rate is evident. I use the TV with a sound bar, but was able to control several of the audio aspects from the TV which is a huge plus (including Lip Sync – to ensure the audio matches up to lip movement on the picture itself). I used a Digital/Optical cable to connect to the sound bar which also worked great. You can also turn off the built-in TV speakers so you don’t accidentally raise the TV volume and have to deal with audio echo. It also just looks great – the bezel-less design and thin bottom border leaves you with a crisp, clean design and the TV looks great mounted. The TV’s feet also looked high quality so I expect this TV would look great on a stand as well. Out of the box, the picture looked really great too, however I did have to tweak some settings to reduce some graininess on older content that had been upscaled (either through remaster or by the TV itself). Overall, the picture quality is really good though, and the picture itself is really bright, which can of course be changed for gaming if needed by selecting the right picture mode. Noise and signal reduction also need to be modified to get a truly great picture. A minor inconvenience though, but it is to be expected with a new television to ensure the picture is to your liking. There is also more than one 4K 120 hz HDMI port which is great if you have multiple external devices to connect. There is also an eARC HDMI input and an antenna input (the setup also had setup for over the air broadcasting if you want/need to set that up). In addition, Dolby Vision works great and quickly (no delay testing compatibility) with my Apple TV 4K. The menus and information bar on the TV also do a great job of indicating the source picture and quality level. The main drawback is the software. It took well more than the 10 minutes indicated to set up – probably closer to 20-30. That being said, the native interface is still clunky and slow at times. Opt for an external streaming device if you don't want to put up with that though. This is the reason for the loss of a star. There were also a lot of setup steps to get through to get to using the television. It is also evident the WiFi chip in the TV isn't the greatest as it showed a fairly weak connection to my WiFi network even though other devices in the area showed a strong connection – this could simply be a software representation though and not indicative of connection strength. I did notice though that on a WiFi connection 4K streaming quality wasn't great, but resolved using a wired connection or external streaming devices. The remote is also extremely ergonomic and user friendly, but I did have trouble getting my Apple TV to learn it (which wasn’t an issue with previous Vizio TVs). However, the Apple TV is able to turn the Vizio TV on and off without issue and control my sound bar so no huge issue there – probably a larger issue if you want to control the TV’s speakers with a third party remote though (that has a learning feature). There are also several built-in shortcut buttons (Peacock, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Crackle, and Tubi) on the remote that make access to these services quick and efficient if you plan on using the built in TV software. Vizio also has its huge library of Watch Free+ content that is included with the TV. The voice control was a bit of a letdown though, I constantly got error messages saying “Voice control unavailable”. I don’t plan to use this functionality as I have external streaming devices I plan to use primarily (that have voice assistants), but it’s something to consider if you plan to use the native functionality on the TV. It could be due to the perceived weak WiFi connection/quality of the WiFi chip, so a wired connection is probably needed to take full advantage of the native features. In terms of mounting the TV, it was very heavy compared to my previous 55” Vizio TV but I was able to use the same mount, which was a huge plus. I have no comparison to other 65” TVs though to know if this TV is heavier or lighter than others in the 65” class. Overall though, this is a great TV and I highly recommend it, minus the few drawbacks/issues noted.JediPy

For personal reasons, I have stayed away from OLED until the longevity is improved. I'm very much a "make a TV last at least 5 years" kind of person and seeing all of these OLED burn in stories have kept me at bay. Naturally I have to look for the next best thing. Vizio's P series does just that. VRR 120hz support, new processor, and its price point is just too good to pass up. So far I've enjoyed this TV since January and I have never thought about regret or wishing I bought a different TV. It's just a good product. I've seen all the horror stories posted online about Vizio QC, and so far this is my 3rd Vizio TV with no concerns in terms of quality. Their firmware updates do need a bit better polishing up. The new August 2022 update is causing some issues with not playing certain files from my Plex server (before the update, they were playing no problem), and the occasional reboots but nothing that is a deal-breaker. Literally the only reason why its not a 5/5 for me.Erik

There are many TV manufacturers out there, and VIZIO has always seemed to me to be a middle of the line brand, especially when compared with the big Korean and Japanese brands. With their P-Series Quantum line, they have really stepped up their game! The VIZIO 65" Class P-Series Quantum LED 4K UHD SmartCast TV is replacing a fairly older (9 years old) 60" FHD TV. When we first set it up, we installed the stands while we were waiting to find the time to get it mounted on the wall. The stands have two height settings, with a taller one that can be used if there is a soundbar. A nice little feature is that the top edge of the stand feet has rubber for placing soundbar directly on. In looking at the instructions, another use of the stand is it can also be used to mount a soundbar (when removing the lower feet) when the TV is using a wall-mount (which seems to be a feature only for VIZIO soundbars). When first turning it on, it has a few basic setup actions: selecting location, pair voice remote, connecting to Wi-Fi. Then, it will check, and if necessary, download software updates. This shouldn't take too long, but for me, it went through the download and install process four times (with one time taking a very long time). Overall, it was about 20-30 minutes before it was fully complete. Once finally in, the ScreenCast interface is displayed. It has a couple of "Suggestions" rows at the top, just below the menu. Then, it has a row of all the apps. If going to the left from the first app, it will get to the App Catalog and Customize App Row Selections. A couple of things that I feel that could use some improving are related to these two. For the App Catalog, it does have a quite few category-grouped rows of apps. Then, at the bottom, it has All Apps, but it is only a single row and to get to the desired app, I have to keep scrolling to the right. I would prefer to multiple rows to get to them all. In the Customize App Row (for the row on the Home screen), the most used apps can be moved to the left, but I haven't found a way to hide the ones we won't use (to make it just a little less cluttered). We are a streaming/Over the Air family and had been using a popular brand streaming stick since the native apps on the older TV were quite lacking. Almost all the apps that we use come with the VIZIO TV, and work quite well, but there isn't app for the OTA DVR/streaming box we use, so will still need the streaming stick for it. We could use the built-in Chromecast for that, and while it does work (and the remote will still pause/play the shows), that can be a little cumbersome to get going for each episode. The display is great! The quality of streaming 4K/Dolby Vision movies is very nice! The brightness settings may need to be adjusted from the default (which was very bright for us), but it does have several different brightness setting presets to start with, and can be fine-tuned (and even saved a new profile). Also, one thing I noticed when looking at the descriptions of the different settings, is that the "Enhanced Viewing Angle" (in Advanced Picture settings) might need to be turned off as it says it reduces the horizontal resolution. I'm not sure if that can prevent the full 4K display or not, but I turned it off just in case as we don't need the wide viewing angles. Also, if this going to be used for gaming, it does support AMD FreeSync Premium at 4K/120fps The physical design is pleasant. On the front display, it does not have physical bezel on three sides (top, left and right), and the screen viewing area comes to just less than a .25" of the edge of the glass. There is still a bezel at the button, but it less than 1" wide. The overall thickness of the TV isn't too bad, but definitely not thin (so it won't be an extremely tight fit against the wall when mounted). One positive is that the import/output ports are still easily accessible from the right side when mounted. There are 4 HDMI ports (2x 4K/120MHz "Gaming", one for eARC, and one additional), a 2.0A USB port (which is nice as it can also be used as the power source for streaming sticks that normally need to be plugged into a wall outlet). For Audio output, there is a 3.5mm jack and an Optical connector. Also, there is a typical RJ45 Ethernet port, and a Coax connector. This TV does work seamlessly with our non-VIZIO soundbar using the eARC HDMI connection, with it automatically detecting it when it was first plugged in and does always turn it on and off when the TV is turned on/off. The soundbar volume can be controlled by the TV remote volume buttons. And while we will be using the OTA DVR for watching live local channels, I did see how setting up and using the OTA TV channels worked out. I found that I had to change the input to "TV" first in order to get the scan to start (as the TV Channels option in the Settings Menu was still disabled). After all the channels are detected, the ones not needed can be hidden through the TV Channels Settings Menu. For chKCRoanoke
