Design
If you have a brightly lit living room, I recommend the Sony Bravia 5. This mini LED TV has a bright and high-contrast screen. This allows me to see every color tone, without a gray cast. I hardly notice any reflections. I only see them in direct sunlight and when viewing from a sharp angle.
High-Contrast Mini LED Screen I find the Bravia 5 a striking TV. I don't adjust any settings and immediately watch colorful, high-contrast images. Colorful nature documentaries, in particular, look great. I can see every detail in a cheetah's fur, for example. Dark films with many bright light sources also look beautiful. Explosions in the action film Ballerina are realistic and don't negatively impact the picture quality. Because of this strong contrast, I recommend this TV if you enjoy watching movies and can't darken your room properly.
High Brightness Like other mini LED TVs, the Bravia 5 performs well in a brightly lit room. I'm not bothered by ambient light and can clearly see what's happening on the screen. The TV is therefore bright enough for most rooms. Bright light sources like a table lamp are clearly visible, which I consider a drawback. The TV also has a narrower viewing angle. The image quality deteriorates quickly if you're not sitting directly in front of the TV. The viewing angle is wide enough for your family, but too narrow for larger groups.
Clear Google TV smart platform The Google TV smart platform is a clear advantage of the Bravia 5. I appreciate the clear menu and the wide range of apps. I quickly find the app or streaming service I'm looking for. There's a strong emphasis on movies and series. This allows me to immediately see an overview of movies I'm currently watching and quickly pick up where I left off. Google TV also lists many recommended movies and series. I consider this a drawback, as this part of the menu takes up a lot of space.

I think the image is very good. The colors are not too aggressive.

While searching for a replacement for our current TV, I came across this one. The size is just right, and the design is sleek with a slim black bezel. The picture is clear, whether watching TV shows or gaming on a console. Connecting external devices is easy to set up, and streaming apps are also accessible with a single button press. Without a soundbar, the sound leaves a lot to be desired, sounding flat and sometimes even tinny. Screen settings can be adjusted separately for each input channel, which prevents a lot of switching between settings. Considering the price, I had higher expectations for the sound, but overall I'm definitely satisfied!
