Best in price,
Price: This is without a doubt the best looking TV in its price range. I paid $998 for mine and I can’t imagine getting a better bang for my buck. If you want to buy a noticeably better 55″ TV you’re looking at a $2000 price point which is where the OLEDs currently are.
Design: Stand is wobbly, but nothing to worry about, if you’re not constantly touching your TV it won’t matter at all. You can always wall mount it if you’re not convinced.
Movies: One of the best contrast ratios for any LED TV, only OLED will comfortably beat this. Black uniformity is pretty good, there’s a bit of clouding around the corners but only noticeable when the screen goes mostly black. This TV has perfect Judder-free playback regardless of content and without the soap opera effect. You can still turn on the soap opera effect if that’s something you like. There’s no 3D which is great if you’re like me who doesn’t care at all about 3D. There’s no local dimming (may or may not be a good thing). Edit: HDR compatibility was recently patched in.
Color and Calibration: I calibrated my TV using the settings from Rtings as a guide. I found that it gives a good baseline and then you should make your own adjustments/turn on or off the various picture enhancements based on your own personal preference. If you’re having backlight uniformity issues (e.g. picture is brighter on the sides) then set Black Adjust to High and then lower the Black Level until the uniformity improves, (for my tv it was 44).
Video Games: The input lag is about 35ms on Game mode which is great. Pixel response time is also really good at 12ms. However, there is another setting you should definitely turn off which is actually found in the Sound adjustments menu and that’s “ClearAudio”. Leaving this setting on will create a ton of audio lag, and the difference in audio quality does not justify its existence at all.
PC Monitor: If you’re looking for an HDTV to use as a monitor, this is as good as it gets. This will do 4k @ 60hz 4:4:4 and it’s one of the few TV’s that can actually accept a 1080p 120hz signal.
Sound: Your expectations for an LED TV in terms of its speakers should be minimal. The sound on this TV is serviceable, best suited for casual TV watching. For movies or video games your best course of action is always to hook up your own speakers, or even headphones.
Menu and remote: The Smart OS is Android, it comes with a number of Apps that I will never use because this TV is in the same room as my computer. The remote is okay except for the directional buttons, the placement is terrible (too close to the six buttons that surround it), and actually pressing them is not a good experience, sometimes I’ll press a button and nothing will happen, and I’ll think the OS froze, but actually it’s because the button press didn’t register. Other times the OS did in fact freeze, and it’ll take a few seconds to respond again. One time the Action Menu stopped responding entirely and I had to turn off the tv AND unplug the power cord to get it working again. Overall both the remote and the OS are subpar. If I was the type of person who’d constantly use the remote for the various Apps then I might’ve given this tv a 4/5.
Inputs: 4 HDMI 2.0 (one ARC and one MHL), 3 USB (two 2.0 and one 3.0), 1 Headphone out (3.5mm), 1 Optical Audio out, 1 Component in, 1 Composite in, 1 Ethernet, 1 RF in, 1 IR out. The power cable is about 3 feet long so you may want to get an extension cable. Also make sure you plug it into a quality surge protector so your TV doesn’t get killed in a storm.
Overall I am extremely satisfied with this TV, as far as I’m concerned this is the best 55″ non-OLED TV worth buying as of right now.

Pros:
– The picture is quality is amazing. There’s not a lot of 4K content out there but everything that’s 1080p or better looks like magazine print.
– Android software is awesome. I like being able to download apps that I’m familiar with. Hopefully, they will have regular software updates and add additional features in the future.
Cons:
– The sound is probably the worst thing about this TV. You will definitely want to get yourself a Sound Bar. I’m guessing this is true about all flat screen TVs because all of the ones I’ve seen have pretty terrible speakers.
– The stand feels a little flimsy. You can definitely make the TV wobble by applying some pressure on it.
– Bluetooth connection only supports accessories at this point. According to Sony, future updates will add additional support.
– The remote control is terrible. There are many features lacking such as a button to quickly scroll through the picture modes.
