Great tv
Upgraded from a plasma tv. What a difference. Brilliant
Our tv
Great integration and east set-up
Bought to replace an older-model Sony Bravia HD TV. Overall very happy with the product especially the ease of integration with other devices (home cinema, PlayStation, Virgin Media box, etc.). Straightforward set-up and decent picture. Glad I have the home cinema as despite the claims, the built in sound is pretty weak.
Polar89
Sound is good as speaker behind screen
This was an up grade to our faulty one which was 4 years old… as this is a direct replacement it’s really no different we can’t see any update? plus it now have 2 handsets why?

Brilliant picture and colours
I am really happy with this tv. The picture is so sharp and clear and the colours are beautiful. The sound is great too.
Gill78
Generally good and excellent sound
Easy switch from previous Sony, good picture quality and I love the sound. The sound was so good we could get rid of our old soundbar so now the new TV installation is much simpler with fewer remotes. The new remote takes some getting used to as there are no numbers or coloured buttons so you have to discover new ways to find channels or red buttons so you features. The manual for the system is only a few pages and some features we had to work out using google searches and online videos. So the manual could be improved. Only slight grouse is that starting up from a full power down seems to take a long time with nothing appearing on the screen. Sony seems to assume you will always leave it in standby mode which we never do. Else all good so far.

However, sound can be output from both an audio system and the TV speakers at the same time using a digital optical cable. You can learn more here: https://cutt.ly/Nr7vmZ09...
