Amazing Sound Technology
I bought this a month ago and the sound quality has transformed my enjoyment of watching TV. Far superior technology to side/rear speakers TVs or soundbar boosters. Now I never miss a word of diction and live sport is a joy - just like I'm in the crowd.

Excellent picture and sound quality. Easy setup
The TV was easy to set up. It has two remote controls - one has fewer buttons but does all the common stuff. The other looks more like a “standard” remote control and I guess will allow me to do some things more easily. The GoogleTV part of this was easy to set up, and we got on line very easily. Picture quality is fantastic compared with what we had been used to, and the sound quality is great, too.

Lovely with one minor niggle
Lovely TV. Superb picture and I really wanted a Google TV so I could put apps on it (to get rid of bloatware + do proper streaming from my NAS drive). job done! Issues preventing 5 stars only one really - an integrated short power cable you can't change - I was wall mounting the tv so want a longer cable - had to splice the mains wire which I assume voids the guarantee. Unacceptable on such an expensive TV in my view! Oh - and the TV is quite thick compared to some newer TVs - I don't care, but if thats your thing,.....

Disappointed...very disappointed
I have had Sony Bravia's down the years, Sony camera's Sony Video camera's, sound systems, sound bars, photoframes etc etc....utter Sonyphile based on quality and performance...........right up until the last KD 3D TV....this I recently "upgraded" to this model.....what a disappointment...spent a great deal of money etc etc....Google TV....cannot alter aspect ratio on smart tv...only on external inputs....so example BBC I Player wrong aspect, looks weird....if 2016P selected, great in UHD with Sky etc....but change to normal TV ....poor picture....need to change to 1080P everytime....really wish I hadn't bothered....hopefully others will see what a trial you will have....very disappointed. No more Sony for me on anything now....
Mr Enthusiastic
As a high definition TV with good sound certainly.
Picture and sound quality very good, strong depth of colour. Assembly of the stand legs, particularly screwing legs into deeply recessed holes in the back of the TV was a real challenge took 40 minutes of cursing!! Needs a redesign.

Good TV for the Money, does have some misgivings.
The picture is Clear vibrant, colours are excellent. Remote control buttons are very small, channel menu tv guide button is placed in the wrong position and much to small. No instruction book, remote receiver needs to be at the top of the tv unit. The program guide list / text is much to small so needs to be larger / more readable like our previous Panasonic TV. We brought this Sony TV because the Satellite Guide Text is in the Freesat sensible order like our previous Panasonic.

Top quality, excellent picture
One of the few "small" 4k tvs available I am very happy with my purchase. An excellent quality picture and, though quite complicated to set up, I was impressed with the way it automatically tuned in to my sony av system. Upscaling dvds in fantastic too. I've had Sony tvs for decades and they have all been top quality.

Pretty good TV
Had this TV for a couple of weeks now. Picture quality is very good. Was told at purchase that it didn't need a sound bar. Not sure that is correct as the sound, at times, is not all that loud. At start-up, I have noticed that sometimes the speech is out of sync with the picture. Not sure if that is the program or the TV. a quick flick through other channels then back to the first program we looked at seems to fix it but it does seem a little odd that this occurs. Would be nice if the stand was easier to assemble or even ready attached. The stand it comes with is a dust trap unfortunately. Overall though, happy with my purchase even with the high price tag!

Very happy
Love my new TV. A good size for a small London sitting room. Good sound quality, pleasing wide screen ratio is elegantly rectangular. Home page is well laid out and not too busy. Bought it to watch the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics so did the install myself. I am a non technical person and though the instructions are somewhat complicated I was able to work it out in the end. I definitely needed a second person to help lift the TV out of the box and on to the supports. So happy.
