    What do you like or dislike about Sony TVs?
    bernardo
    over 1 year ago
    I think Sony’s TVs are overrated. I have heard a lot of people say that Sony makes great televisions, but I disagree. The picture quality is not as clear as some of their competitors and the price point is too high for what you get in return.
