Our take on the Sony BRAVIA 5 K-65XR50 4K Ultra HDR Smart LED Google TV
The Sony BRAVIA 5 K-65XR50 is a 65-inch 4K LED TV running Google TV, with HDR support and Sony's XR processor for upscaling and color handling. It sits in Sony's mid-range, below the Mini LED BRAVIA 7 and 9, so it uses a standard backlight rather than Mini LED. That makes it a sensible pick for bright living rooms and mixed streaming, gaming and sports use, where its Google TV app range and Sony's motion handling matter more than deep-black contrast. Buyers wanting OLED or Mini LED contrast should look higher in the range.
- Google TV with the full range of major streaming apps
- Sony XR processor handles upscaling of HD content well
- HDR support across common formats
- Four HDMI inputs, including HDMI 2.1 features for consoles
- Slim design and straightforward wall mounting

What reviewers say
Owners generally rate the BRAVIA 5 as a solid, well-rounded 65-inch 4K TV, praising its picture processing, Google TV interface and gaming features. The recurring complaints are contrast and black levels typical of a standard LED panel, and sound that needs help.

- UpscalingPraisedReviewers note that HD and older content look cleaner than on many rival sets thanks to Sony's processing.
- Google TVPraisedThe interface is called fast and well stocked with apps, though some mention it takes setup time.
Questions and answers
- Is the BRAVIA 5 worth it over the BRAVIA 7?
- The BRAVIA 7 adds Mini LED backlighting for much better contrast and brightness. The BRAVIA 5 is the better value if you watch in a normally lit room and don't need deep blacks; step up if dark-room movies matter.
- Does it support 4K at 120Hz for consoles?
- Yes, it has HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz and variable refresh rate support for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, a stand, remote, power cable and quick-start guide. No HDMI cable is included.
- Does it have Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
- It supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos pass-through, so a compatible soundbar or receiver can handle Atmos audio.
- Can I wall mount it?
- Yes, it uses a standard VESA mount. Check the bracket's weight rating for a 65-inch set before buying.
- Is Google TV easy to use for cable viewers?
- Yes. It combines streaming apps with inputs, and you can set live TV or an HDMI input as the home screen.
