40 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This is a Renewed Sony 65-inch OLED running Google TV, priced at $1,258. Sony's OLED lineup has historically delivered accurate, cinematic picture quality backed by the company's proprietary picture processing. Google TV is a well-regarded smart platform with strong voice search and app availability through the Play Store. The set measures about 57 by 34 inches without a stand, and HDMI is listed as the primary connectivity option.
120 Hz handles gaming and sports content cleanly, and Sony's OLED panels typically come factory-calibrated to a standard that appeals to enthusiasts who care about color accuracy. Google TV integration also makes it a natural fit for households already in the Google ecosystem.
The 3.8 rating from 40 reviewers is the most important piece of data here. 40 reviews is enough to be statistically meaningful, and 3.8 is noticeably below the 4.0 to 4.5 range that most competing Renewed OLEDs achieve. Before buying, reading the critical reviews to understand what problems owners reported is strongly advised.
Pros
- Sony OLED picture processing is known for accurate, cinematic image quality
- Google TV provides broad app support and strong voice search
- 120 Hz refresh rate covers fast content smoothly
- 65-inch screen fits most living rooms well
- $1,258 is meaningfully below new Sony OLED pricing
Cons
- 3.8 rating from 40 reviews is the lowest in this roundup and is a genuine concern
- Renewed condition adds risk on top of the below-average satisfaction score
- Connectivity is limited to RCA per spec listing, which requires verification
- Weight data shows 1.0 lb in spec sheet, which appears to be a data error and cannot be relied upon
Performance notes
4K UHD resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, OLED display, Google TV smart platform. Connectivity: RCA per spec. Dimensions 9.88 x 56.88 x 33.75 inches. Note: weight data of 1.0 lb in spec appears to be a listing error.
What buyers say
40 reviews at 3.8 stars puts this in the lower tier of owner satisfaction for a premium Renewed product. While some buyers are clearly happy, the 3.8 average indicates enough negative experiences to warrant caution. This is not a set to buy on price alone without reading the review text carefully.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this Sony OLED have a lower rating than other options?
A 3.8 rating from 40 buyers could reflect issues with the Renewed condition grading, unit-to-unit variance in refurbishment quality, or actual performance concerns. Without reading the individual reviews it is hard to pinpoint the exact cause. This is exactly why reading recent one and two-star reviews before purchasing a Renewed set is important.
Is Google TV better than webOS or Tizen for daily use?
All three are capable platforms. Google TV has an edge in voice search accuracy and Android app availability through the Play Store. webOS is known for a clean, simple interface and fast loading. Tizen is highly polished and well-integrated with Samsung hardware. The best platform is largely a matter of personal preference and which smart home ecosystem you already use.
What should I check in the reviews before buying a 3.8-rated Renewed TV?
Look for patterns in the critical reviews rather than isolated complaints. Common red flags for Renewed TVs include dead pixels, damaged connectors, remote pairing issues, and screen uniformity problems. If multiple unrelated buyers mention the same specific problem, that is a signal worth taking seriously. One or two complaints about cosmetic blemishes are less concerning.
