I purchased this TV as a replacement for a 15 year old Bravia model KDL-40W5500 that suddenly went out of service. I was surprised by the low price, as my original TV (with a smaller diagonal) once cost me 30k. Even today, there are many thousands more expensive models on offer that offer plus/minus the same, but they're just younger model years, for example)
The TV doesn't weigh too much on the shelf because it only weighs 10 kg. I was surprised by the beautiful picture, compared to the older model the difference is very noticeable). And I don't see it as a problem at all that it doesn't have 100 Hz (like its predecessor), but only 50 Hz. nothing's breaking and I don't see any difference.
The TV has an awful lot of features, including subscription services, eco features, etc. Some are useful, others are for two things. But they're there and nobody's forcing them on you. It is possible to record TV programs to an external USB drive, but unfortunately you can only play them back on the same TV, without the possibility of transferring the recording to a computer. With this limitation, the whole recording function is almost useless. It can perfectly control external sources via HDMI (Blu-Ray, multimedia center, etc.)
Two remote controls are included: one classic and the other with Bluetooth connectivity, so when you have a curious child in front of the TV, it still works. The second remote contains six useless buttons for subscription services (Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, etc.). These services can be selected in the TV menu.
I appreciate the possibility of connecting both terrestrial and satellite antennas, so I could throw away the set-top-box for satellite and the set-top-box for DVB-T2.
There is a DLNA function, or playing music, photos and videos from AV servers, but unfortunately only some videos work. Most of the time it endlessly digs and the film doesn't start, even though the 15 years older TV was able to do it perfectly. I appreciate the option to choose between Classic TV and Google TV mode, especially the option to keep Classic TV mode, as I find the Google TV environment incredibly irritating. Unfortunately, logging into your Google account is followed by an automatic and irreversible change from Classic TV to Google TV mode, and you can only return to Classic TV via a factory reset. I'm missing the output cinches to connect the sound to the amplifier. There's only an optical output, so it works through a conversion box + optical cable. An extra five hundred bucks. I also miss the older AV inputs, i.e. composite, component and SCART. If you, for example. you want to keep the old VHS video connected, so you need a SCART => HDMI conversion box.
But overall, despite some of the negatives listed (which can be resolved), the TV is really excellent.
