We had our main smart TV go belly-up about a month ago. We did a short look on what TV's are available right now and were sold on the picture quality of the new XBR-49X900F Sony Smart TV. So far we like it. Pros: auto sensing for input levels, width and breadth of apps setup on the TV, good sound for our needs. Cons: The voice recognition takes you back to a global Sony search. I would like it to be able to fill search and password fields on voice recognition (like Apple TV.)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked great for 46.5 days. Turned off and will not restart. Attempted Sony restart and reset instructions in Sony owners manual. Also, attempted the same following the Sony website instructions. TV will not turn on. Had technician do circuit check, results: power to TV ok, but no power to the screen.

Hi mikey27, We regret to hear about what happened. Please follow the troubleshooting steps on the link below to resolve this issue:
We’ve had this tv for a while now and it’s still a pleasure turning it on! We had owned a Sony Bravia for 10 years before this, and it was still in perfect working order, but I felt we were missing out on having a high definition tv, so I researched for ages before buying this, and although this was slightly more expensive than the LG I was also interested in I decided that the reliability of our old Sony counted for a lot. I’ve nothing bad to say about it, it was straight forward to set up and as I said before, the picture quality is great and the apps it comes with are excellent.
I would recommend this to a friend!
