If you have the budget for something more premium, then Sony won’t let you down.For the first time after owning Bravia TVs for 20 years, I also signed up for Sony Pictures Core. Despite some negative reviews, it’s a solid icing on the cake, which I wish I had looked into sooner. It’s not like other streaming platforms and acts as more of a movie catalogue, with some included movies and other more recently released titles requiring you to purchase. But you get 10 free movie tokens to redeem with the purchase of a new Bravia TV, which allow ongoing access to purchased movies, rather than just renting for a temporary period. Less

items 5: content: I bought this TV after seeing it in store. I had spent a really long time ( almost 2 years!) looking for a good TV. I must say this was worth the wait- It has changed my viewing experience! Films are cinematic, tv shows sharp and the sound is perfect. Really enjoying this TV and would highly recommend. The HD is superb, but will obviously only show HD when the channel/ programme has it (so some channels that are not in HD will still be blurry- something I was not aware of before). Overall very happy with the product and John Lewis for the great delivery service. Thank you!

Blu rays are old school but the picture quality is amazing. If I watch new wildlife documentaries the quality is sensational. So happy I purchased this TV. I hung it on a bracket on the wall which makes the room look larger and more modern. If you buy this Sony Bravia you won't be disappointed.

items 7: content: I got this TV 2 months ago, even on HD it has amazing picture quality and sound. It includes all the features we were looking for. U can customize everything to suit your preferences. It's a TV that you control, not one that controls you.We've had Sony, Samsung, and LG in the past, but I'm glad we decided to go back to Sony-it's even better than I expected. The Dolby Vision and Atmos are excellent, and we've paired it with an A8000 soundbar, which still allows sound to come from the TV as well. It looks fantastic mounted on the wall, and the picture mode really looks seamless.I didn't like the Google Home screen, but found video to get it off and showing apps onlyHighly recommend!

With having had the Bravia lcd I thought that going for another Sony TV was a no trainer. Looked at all the brands and options on offer and the Bravia 8 was the best picture and value I could find. The picture quality is amazing, you can see the pimples under the presenters make-up, the x box x has come alive and the 4k screen is worth the money. The staff at HN were fantastic and Sony truly make a high classproduct and is worth the money.

Turn it up - it doesn't distort.This set sits very near the table so don't plan to have anything in front of it but do realise that the low profile and tiny bezels mean that this 48" set seems no bigger than the old 42" one we had - a nice surprise.Now this set was more than twice the price of any we've had before but think about how much time you spend 'consuming content' on your TV and how happy you are with the current setup and it can easily make sense.It has lots of discretely hidden connection at the rear but all we have connected are the power lead, aerial cable and Blueray DVD - remember those days?! A single beautiful metal remote tops of the package.Two minor niggles - 1 - No Apple TV app yet but it is promised by the end of the year and in the mean-time you can Airplay from your phone or iPad for the same 4k content. 2 - No live TV pause on the Youview guide - just access the content from the app if you want to pause and of course anything you select that is not currently being broadcast will do that automatically anyhow. Now TV, Amazon, Disney TV and every other app naturally have 'pause' built in anyhow.All content from old SD through HD to 4K, from Youtube, Apple TV, Netflix etc. looks great; with the quality getting more dazzling as you go up the food chain.4k is coming - His Dark Materials is on 4k on the iPlayer now - just check you've got good internet before you make the commitment.

The picture is fantastic, deep black, sharp definition and contrast.The design is pleasingly minimal and the edges incredibly thin so it also look OK when it's turned off.Importantly for me, the TV is ready to use within a few seconds of turning it on. My previous Sony Android TV (a 2019 model) wouldn't respond to the remote for nearly a minute and was always slow to respond to the controls. The fact that the remote uses Bluetooth is also great as it works regardless of where you're pointing it.

items 22: content: Very easy to set up, takes about 30 mins in total to get it installed and up and running. Picture quality is what you would expect with a TV at this price point, very detailed and vibrant. Sound is a vast improvement on previous flat screens. Yes a sound bar would certainly give it a boost but unless you are looking for a full cinematic experience the sound from the TV in terms of quality, presence and volume is probably enough for most uses.HD and Ultra HD broadcasts are a joy to watch, like most modern TVs SD channels look pretty bad but that an issue with the source material and not the TV.Highly recommended if you are in the market for a TV under 55inches. Without a doubt the best available at the moment.
