Intermittent problems? 
This is a great feature. You can also bring up these fault codes ON-SCREEN to see a list of the problem numbers with the abbreviation of the problem and the number of times this problem has occurred. This is slightly different than entering the service mode. To see the diagnostic screen, Press the following buttons: 
Display, Channel, 5, Vol Minus, ( Not plus ) then Power. This brings up a screen with a list of the problems and number of times they have occurred. Each of the problem names is abbreviated as, "OCP", "OVP", "V STOP", ETC. We have repeated them in parentheses in the text for the "Blinks" described above so you can correlate between the diagnostic screen and the blink codes.

Great picture quality and 4k streaming. Have owned this TV for over 4 years, no problems at all. 55 inch viewing is awesome with my swivel TV stand. Sony TV is one of the best set ever owned. Will always purchase TVs from this maker. Their name speaks for its self. Very happy with my choice of Tv.

I realize many people may not be interested in TVs of this size. My space wouldn’t permit anything larger. But honestly the picture is absolutely the best I have ever seen, period. To call it lifelike is an understatement. It’s like being there. Color depth, accuracy, sharpness is all best in class. The Google Os is fine, and Chromecast built in is great also. I can’t find one thing I dislike or would change. It’s just the best TV I’ve seen personally in my 65 years. If you’re trying to decide, just stop and buy this. You may find cheaper but you WILL NOT find better, period!

I've had a great experience. No complaints at all. Will definitely purchase another. I've had it for several years and still works like brand new. I've since bought other brands that didn't last. I have only good things to say.

Over the years, I have had a 62 inch big screen last for years till it got outdated, had the ability to watch 2 shows at once. Could browse through every channel like out of The Brady Bunch. I have had a Sony DVD player. It's the best. Can hold a ton of DVDs. Plays perfectly. I had a Sony Xplod sound car system with the surrounding audio auto correct button to make it sound perfectly. I had a Sony amp with 20hz to 20,000htz. Worked like a champ. I had a HiFi system. Sounds perfectly. The best audio equipment arround hands down. And they never break. I love Sony stuff.
