Sony XBR-49X800G 49" 4K UHD LED Smart Android TV with HDR (2019) & Sony HT-S200F 2.1ch Sound Bar with built-in Subwoofer and Bluetooth

Model: XBR-43X800GJust wanted to warn everyone that Sony is shipping 2019 Android TV's with Android TV OS 7.0 from 2016 and no upgrade is available through the TV or on Sony's website.Why should I care, you ask? Imagine for a minute if your shiny new iPhone XS came with IOS 9. It means that the TV is running an old OS with an obsolete version of the user experience and missing features instead of the new one being advertised by Sony and Google.In other words, classic bait and switch.I'm trying to decide who is more at fault here... Sony for shipping a new TV with a 3 year old OS or Google for allowing this anti-consumer behavior from their partners.This is definitely going back to Amazon. I'm getting a non-Sony TV with an nVidia Shield for less money and a much better experience.I recommend that everyone steer clear of 2019 Sony Android TV's until they can treat the platform and their customers with some respect.

When I was researching what TV to buy I was told by Sony (directly in a chat) that this TV would update immediately to Android Version 8.0 (Oreo) as soon I connected it to the network. It did not.I contacted Sony. They told me to allow 2 to 3 weeks for the update. It has been nearly 4 weeks. Still no update.The TV itself looks great and works great but I bought it based on the fact that it would be running the latest version of Android and Sony told me (before my purchase!) that it would be. It is NOT. It is running version 7.0. Sony completely misled me (FALSE information) and Sony did not resolve the problem.

My dog was playing with a heavy rope toy and it grabbed another toy which was whipped into the screen of my TV. Screen broken, TV destroyed, bad doggie. So I replaced it with one of these X800Gs. When I hung it I noticed that the screen was pulling away from the frame at the top, leaving a small narrow space with bright light coming through. Whatever caused that damage also put an anomaly in the picture so when the picture was very white, you could see dark images in the picture. So I called Sony thinking that they would apologize and send a replacement, or at least send someone from a service center near me to investigate. Instead they told me they would do nothing and that I most likely did it when I hung it (I'm in AV - I know how to hang a TV...) I asked to speak to a supervisor and the guy said there was nobody who would give me a different response. When I asked if they were ready to lose a customer for life for under a grand, he said sorry nothing I can do... So I hung up, got on Amazon's site, looked up the order, and of course they made the replacement as easy as pie. Makes me want to buy everything through Amazon, and I guess that's the point. Anyway, as bad as Sony's customer service is, their TVs are pretty good and this one is no exception. Great picture, nice user interface.

I normally am reluctant to buy a TV online but seeing a Sony TV at this price I thought I would give it try. ABSOLUTELY IMPRESSED! What stands out the most is the perfect colors. I watch everything from movies, news and sports so seeing people look like "real" people and not weird skin colors was a plus. I just finished watching a basketball game and I'm definitely convinced I made the right decision.

I’ve always been a fan of Sony TV’s and this one absolutely did not disappoint. I do a lot of streaming through Netflix and Amazon so having a good TV processor is very important; which is why I like Sony. The overall picture quality out of the box was stunning. After setting up the TV, I re-watched a few recorded basketball games and a few avengers movies and was super impressed with the stunning picture, colors, and especially the motion. A few weeks ago I ventured off and got a Samsung Q60 which wasn’t quit what I expected so I’m returning it. Someone recommended that I upgrade from the Samsung to this Sony x800 and I’m glad they did. It’s Sony Quality at it’s best and I highly recommend this model!

As with many other reviewers, the first television that was shipped to me arrived with a broken screen. Amazon replaced it of course and I had a new one 4 days later. Upgrading from an old 42 inch plasma was long overdue, and I think I made a good choice. I am NOT an Android person, so that feature isn't something I can comment on. This was clearly designed more to be mounted on a wall, but that's not an option for me. So...Things I really HATE about this (and you probably will too):- The base stands really suck. Aside from feeling cheap (half plastic, half metal...WTF?!?), the television tilts slightly backwards. It's really odd and no sure why Sony did this. I'm replacing with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4KI7RJ- The remote is a brick from 1992 and you have to really mash the buttons down to get them to function.- Power cord is pretty short. Again, if you mount it on a wall, this won't be an issue.- Shipping was slow and receiving the broken one was a bit frustrating. Amazon was cool about it though and even sped up the shipping on the replacement. (Bit of advice...CALL customer service, don't chat)Things I really LIKE about this:- Setup was pretty easy and not overwhelming (unpack it carefully - the metal base stands come in two parts each and are not packaged together in the box)- Picture quality is amazing. I use the new 4K Firestick with it and everything is clear and crisp.- My two cats never paid any attention to the old plasma television, but this one...they were fixated when NatGeo Wild was on...it was hilarious, but also says something about the quality and size.Overall, I am pleased with this item and would recommend it. Yeah, there are better options out there, but this one is a good value for the price from a well-known brand.-

I received the product to replace a smaller Samsung and this one feels like garbage. I installed anyway and the screen looked like it was cracked on the inside when you turned the tv on. Sending right back to amazon and Sony should be ashamed of themselves for charging so much for a piece of junk.

This is supposed to be a smart TV with Bluetooth support. Don't believe it! I'm more than a little deaf and I wanted to play the TV sound through a speaker so that the whole neighbourhood didn't have to listen to my TV too. The procedure to pair the TV with a Bluetooth speaker seemed so simple except it didn't work. A little more digging and I found out that this TV does not support pairing with a speaker, headphones or soundbar. What else is there to pair a TV with? This is false advertising. As a TV, it is great so if they just dropped the Bluetooth bit, that would be fine.

Update. After many calls and chats with Sony and online searching the problems still exist and have not improved. I tried a wired connection for internet. It connects that way but cannot stream from the comme on streaming apps. Connectivity problem is still ongoing. Now I have had to unplug the TV to turn it on. After unplugging I can turn it on with the remote.HI, Seller delivered on time - so all good with the seller. The TV itself has a good picture and sound. It has all sorts of interesting smart TV features, but it fails tremendously with connectivity. WIFI needs to be reconnected almost everytime that I turn on the TV. I need to re-enter the password. In addition I installed a soundbar and used the best possible connection with the HDMI ARC. That connection is sporadic at best. The soundbar is fine since it works well with the optical output. My Amazon Firestick is connected to another HDMI port and it follows the same connectivity schedule as my soundbar - so intermittent. I did a chat with SONY customer support. Following a factory reset it worked for approximately two days. If returning the TV was not such a pain I would return and chose another brand. I am hoping that SONY does a firmware upgrade to resolve this issue.

Perfect,right from the get-go.Even the box it came in was very easy to come off....clips at bottom.Absolutely no regrets about this tv.....and I'm fussy.Thanks

75 inch 4K - did lots of research - I found this TV met the criteria for size, quality of picture, and price. The picture quality is good for this size, however I went to my cousin's to watch his 50 inch OLED TV with a much sharper picture - however an OLED TV at 75 inches would probably have costed upwards of 8000$. I got this for Black Friday. The vendor is great, with fast delivery; his price was cheaper than Best Buy for the same TV

Only got the TV yesterday and set it up so can't really give a definitive overall review yet but what i can say is that the TV is easy to set up to everything i have connected to it including the ability to have my Apple Tv turn on the TV and soundbar at the same time. I could not do that with my last TV. I also do not get the dreaded sync issues that you get when connecting a soundbar to a smart TV. I had this issue with a TCL i bought so it went back. The picture quality seems good but i have not really tested it to its full potential. One thing i do not like is the fact that the TV is tilted backwards slightly. I do not like this one bit as my TV sits on a taller TV/Fireplace stand. I have never seen another TV quite like this. It may or may not be a deal breaker at this point!
