Sony XBR-55X800G 55" 4K UHD LED Smart Android TV with HDR (2019)

This is hands-down, the best HDTV I’ve owned. It has an IPS panel with a VERY WIDE viewing angle and no input lag (more on that below). I switched from a Vizio to this model - a 43” X800G. Out of the box, the vivid setting looked phenomenal, with very bright colors and contrast ratios. I tuned the custom setting to create a more tame mode for everyday viewing. Some professional reviews have stated this model has poor input lag. I’m not sure why they say that, or if the firmware has been updated in more recent models, but I can assert that is simply not the case. I have a Nintendo Switch and a PS4 connected to it. I’ll either use my custom setting (with the MotionFlow, etc, turned off), Vivid, or the gaming setting. Button presses are instantaneous. This model doesn’t appear to have any “dirty screen door” effect. That is, on other TVs, you may see artifacts in bright pictures due to the placement of the LED lighting. This model, in particular the 43”, doesn’t have those artifacts. It really is a phenomenal TV, especially when it’s on sale. The display technologies in HDTVs nowadays are daunting. You really have to do your research in order to get the best value for your money. I can attest this after using a hum-hum Vizio model with a murky VA-panel type.Some criticisms: the Android TV interface is slow at times. I sped mine up by deleting frivolous apps and removing any extras that I had added. Clear caches where you can. Don’t rely on the built in guide for TV viewing (don’t allow apps to add to it either).The sound quality is “OK”, but that’s par the course for flat panels these days

As with many other reviewers, the first television that was shipped to me arrived with a broken screen. Amazon replaced it of course and I had a new one 4 days later. Upgrading from an old 42 inch plasma was long overdue, and I think I made a good choice. I am NOT an Android person, so that feature isn't something I can comment on. This was clearly designed more to be mounted on a wall, but that's not an option for me. So...Things I really HATE about this (and you probably will too):- The base stands really suck. Aside from feeling cheap (half plastic, half metal...WTF?!?), the television tilts slightly backwards. It's really odd and no sure why Sony did this. I'm replacing with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4KI7RJ- The remote is a brick from 1992 and you have to really mash the buttons down to get them to function.- Power cord is pretty short. Again, if you mount it on a wall, this won't be an issue.- Shipping was slow and receiving the broken one was a bit frustrating. Amazon was cool about it though and even sped up the shipping on the replacement. (Bit of advice...CALL customer service, don't chat)Things I really LIKE about this:- Setup was pretty easy and not overwhelming (unpack it carefully - the metal base stands come in two parts each and are not packaged together in the box)- Picture quality is amazing. I use the new 4K Firestick with it and everything is clear and crisp.- My two cats never paid any attention to the old plasma television, but this one...they were fixated when NatGeo Wild was on...it was hilarious, but also says something about the quality and size.Overall, I am pleased with this item and would recommend it. Yeah, there are better options out there, but this one is a good value for the price from a well-known brand.-

The TV picture is crisp and clear. specially on 4K HDR format, use Apple TV or Watch Blu-ray with HDR format to see the difference. Easy to use remote and control features. software has been upgraded and Android software works great. previous model (2018) was very slow but in this model Sony updated the CPU and it's working very fast, I got $600 on Black Friday with good deal, so this is a good deal for 65" TV. it's a little heavy but mounted very well. all HDMI inputs works fast, but the issue is changing the input channel. it's not fast enough the transfer the picture to the new input.WiFi module is good (5G), but Bluetooth module is not fully support all Bluetooth devices.one of the best option is Google Assist, it's very useful but there is no browsers like others TV to surf on the internet.in compare with Samsung I'd recommend this model with this price.Thanks.

Initially I bought the Sony X800G to upgrade from a Sony Bravia 32" 720P LCD from 2009. The 4K image quality is incredible and the sound options are vast, but the feature that stands out is Motionflow. If you are playing a console game which usually has a locked frame rate of 30fps the feature increases the motion fluidity to appear similar to 60fps. I tested a number of Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 games and the conclusion is the feature works very well. The next feature that stands out is Mastered in 4K feature which does a great job of making 1080P movies appear closer to native 4K. I absolutely recommend this TV for anyone looking for pure quality and performance.Personal Likes:・Very natural, vivid, and pristine colors・Motionflow has 30fps appear similar to 60fps・Mastered in 4K does exactly what it says・Reality Creation sharpens all resolutions・Extremely easy to set up and light weight

This TV has a very clear picture. I have always been a Sony fan and for the price of this TV, it has performed nicely. My only issue is I turned off the function where when you turn the TV on, all components turn on as well. I prefer not to have my DVD player turn on when I don't intend to use it. However, by disabling that feature, if I manually turn on the DVD player, the surround sound does not work and I have to go to the TV settings and change the audio. No major deal, but inconvenient all the same. I kept my 50" Sony since it has 3D capability and this TV does not. It will not play my 3D movies, which is disappointing. Overall, the TV does have a very nice picture but not the best sound.
