Sony 4K Ultra HD TV: With 2160p resolution, this 4K Ultra HD TV delivers your favorite movies and TV shows in realistic detail. The generous display is large enough for everyone in the room to view. Plus, you can connect to the Internet for access to streaming content on Google Play.

Before I review the tv, there's things I learned about video. In order to get the best video quality, it depends on video source. Top quality source, top to bottom is 4k, blu Ray, over the air, some streaming service, then cable.
If you use great quality videos, then 4k upscales good quality. If you use bad quality, the 4k magnifies the bad quality. I watched multiple YouTube videos 1080 that were the same content but quality wasn't the same. 4k YouTube and amazon content look good. Some can't tell the difference between 1080 upscale and true 4k. It goes to how the video is compressed for streaming. Something will be lost. I've compared transformer blu Ray vs streaming service. The sound doesn't have the same explosion AND colors don't pop as much. I compared Flash TV show netflix and Comcast ondemand. Cable compresses their video DEPENDING on the show. Also, over the air antenna generally looks better than cable(its not always 1080). My friend noticed during super bowl that antenna generally looked better. Even if you stream 4k, its still compressed so it won't be a big upgrade (vs 1080)unless you use a hard copy.
The reason I talk about feed the beast(good video quality) is you might read reviews saying picture is bad(bad source). They'll say my old TV is so much better. I compared my old tv and I thought sony tv sucked ONLY with cable (lowestcsource). 4k TV will magnify bad videos. So if you have a big screen already and don't use blu Ray, see if that makes difference.
TV Review
My main goal for TV was overall TV quality. I only cared for colors to pop (red, blue, green) and people to look natural, not over saturated. Is for sports and movies. I only liked Sony and Samsung SUHD. Issue with Samsung was it cost more for same picture quality I like, 60hz for sports and people looked oversaturated. Be careful with Samsung panel lottery. I went to different best buy and another TV store. I asked them to show a Samsung model comparable to this, all of them said you're going into $2000 range.
As far as the higher model Sony, I could tell they were nicer, but very minor for the price. I watched transformers movies on blu Ray and optimus prime blue and red really pops. The 4k upscale does really well. I also watched the super bowl and everything looked natural. I found the 4k YouTube video they use on display and it was the same as best buy(beach scene with animals)
For Android OS, it works fine if you use your phone with the sony and Android TV app. The remote d pad is too small for big hands. The higher Sony comes with a special remote and it works well once you get the hang of it. Also, you can use voice recognition on your phone. If you use Chromecast, the phone recognizes the TV like it was plugged in.
Sound quality is like every other TV, not that great. I'm using an inexpensive vizio soundbar and it works well.
Drawbacks, not the best in large bright rooms. I put it on vivid mode to improve it. For the price and quality, I'd still get this TV.

Showcase your television on this Walker Edison stand. With open shelving, a large drawer and concealed cabinets, the console provides plenty of storage, and its sturdy fiberboard and laminate construction supports most flat-panel screens up to 65 inches. The urban, reclaimed design of this Walker Edison stand conveys a rustic industrial vibe.

Maybe I'm color blind but the picture looks more gray but product is light brown. Also, the instructions didn't specify the black ends as right and left. I installed it backwards so the predrilled holes for the cabinet doors were in the back instead of front. I didn't mount my TV so there's just enough room for soundbar and TV. My fault so watch out
Overall, I wanted a TV stand that was functional storage but didn't look like typical stand. I would really give it 4.5 stars.
