I purchases this TV around 2014 and the picture and sound quality is still superb. However, I am limited to what I can watch because the streaming apps and PS Now are no longer supported and cannot be updated. It's like I was sold something I could only actually benefit from for a year or two. No ability to upgrade, no trade-in or replacement option, just a pretty picture. The point of me purchasing this TV was that it was considered ahead of the times and would be supported for upgrades.
I own and have owned a lot of Sony products over the years because I always felt they made quality products. My last two purchases, an XBR-55x850B and a bluray player with internet access have been huge disappointments because the online features have been disabled by Sony. Sorry Sony but my next purchases will not be Sony products!
PROBLEM ! Ocasional Flashing Horizontal Lines. Fixed by unplugging TV for 1 min.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We purchased ours back on April 20,2015. We have always chosen SONY products over the years. Great quality and dependability were our reasons.. The excellent picture quality is breath taking, just like you were there! We are very satisfied with our purchase and we keep Netflix busy with movie after movie, so enjoyable on this product. I would recommend getting the sound bar to go with it. We chose the HTCT770. It gives you the theater quality sound. Buy it and set back and enjoy it. You will be glad you did.
The picture on this TV is simply amazing. I stream a lot of programming and have no problems with the refresh rate on this set. The one problem that I do have is a random lip sync issue. Sometimes the lip sync is off for OTA broadcast, sometimes it's off for shows streaming. When there is a lip sync issue it is pretty severe and distracting from the viewing enjoyment of the program being watched. The issue does not happen every time and it's strange because I have two other TVs set up the same way and have no issues. Aside from that it's a wonderful product.
