AMAZING TELEVISION......PATHETIC REMOTE CONTROL

This tv is unbelievable. Everything about it is perfect....with the exception of the worthless, TINY remote control. This is a $6500 Sony 98'' television. This remote is simply unacceptable. I immediately ordered a new universal Sony remote with backlit buttons and a numeric keypad and play/pause/rewind/fast forward options.

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tv was so easy to set up! Super easy to use and I think the quality is great. There are mixed reviews online and maybe to the pro eye this tv isn’t the best but for me it does the job and I’m very satisfied. Good smart features and no connectivity issues!

Love it!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sony BRAVIA 5 is a solid choice if you're after vibrant colors and sharp details, thanks to its Mini LED and 4K HDR. Google TV integration is smooth, making streaming a breeze. While it's not the cheapest option, the picture quality and smart features make it worth considering for a premium viewing experience.

Good TV but only lapse is can't connect Hard Drive

It's a good TV with good technology but the only thing is that I cannot connect my external hard drive with this TV as I have seen that because of some power output this TV doesn't supports external hard disk.

Hi Vaibs67, It's great to hear that you find the Sony BRAVIA 5 to be an excellent TV with good technology, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave a 4-star review! We also want to address your concern regarding the external hard drive immediately. We apologize for any confusion, but we are happy to confirm that the BRAVIA 5 absolutely supports external hard drives for media playback! It sounds like the issue you encountered may be related to the drive's formatting or its power draw exceeding the USB port's output. For future reference, the BRAVIA 5 officially supports external hard drives that use the following specifications: Supported File Systems: FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS Maximum Drive Size: FAT32: Up to 2TB exFAT and NTFS: Up to 32TB If your current external hard drive is formatted outside of these systems or exceeds the size limits, that would explain the connection issue. For a full breakdown of compatible hard drive requirements and additional troubleshooting steps, you can visit: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00148248 We hope this clarifies the situation and helps you get your hard drive connected so you can enjoy all your media! Thanks for choosing Sony! Regards, Dominick

Hi RandyW, We are sorry for the trouble you experienced with the remote during setup, though we are glad to hear it is now working. We recommend checking for a TV firmware update to ensure the Bluetooth connection remains stable and prevents this from happening again.

Well, if only it worked

Took an hour or so to have it set up on TV stand. Plugged it in and it powered up. Only problem was the remote and the TV didn't recognize each other so all I had was a $1000 nothing in the room. Called the retailer PC Ricardsxand was transferred four times before getting to speak with someone. No service available today or tomorrow. I asked him to overnight a new remote and he said he'd get back to me. Four hours later I'm still waiting. My suggestion, don't purchase from PC Richard's.

Please don't waste your money.

I bought this TV yesterday at Costco 85 inch. We chose it because we thought Sony was a good brand. We didn't want a cheap TV. It had great color in the store. after installing it on the wall, which was not easy we are severely disappointed in the pitcher quality as the demo mode is 80 times better than any other thing that you're watching, including high definition, 4K videos on prime at this point, I wished I would've bought a cheap TV at least then I wouldn't be $2300 disappointed. we are using high definition cables we have gone through all of the different views adjusted the settings. It's extremely grainy and my Vizio TV in the back bedroom that we paid a couple hundred dollars for has 10 times of the better picture. this is the most disappointed I've ever been in any product I've ever bought.

Hi Shari26, Thank you for sharing your experience! We understand how disappointing it is to invest in a premium display and not see the clarity you expect, especially after the effort of wall-mounting it. We want to ensure you are getting the stunning, high-clarity picture that our BRAVIA displays are known for. Because an 85-inch screen provides such an immersive and large-scale image, the quality of the incoming signal is the most important factor. When standard definition content is scaled up to this size, pixels can become more visible. To help ensure you are getting the best possible picture, we recommend the following steps: 1. Source Resolution: Please verify that the content you are viewing is specifically labeled as 4K or UHD. On a screen of this magnitude, true 4K content will look significantly sharper and more detailed than standard high definition. 2. Input Testing: We suggest testing various sources, such as a 4K Blu-ray player, a 4K cable box, or different streaming apps, to see how the processor handles different high-quality signals. 3. Connection Strength: Streaming 4K video requires a high-speed, consistent internet connection. To maintain the highest resolution without drops in quality, we recommend keeping the TV within 25 feet of your router or using a wired Ethernet connection for maximum stability. If you have explored these steps and would like further assistance, our technical support team is available to perform a remote diagnostic to ensure everything is performing perfectly: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv Thank you for considering Sony!
