Sony products rarely get deep discounts, so we were thrilled to see this top-notch 49-inch 4K TV on sale for a ridiculous $201 off. Right now, you can snag the Sony 49-inch 4K LED Smart Android TV for just $499, down from $700, at Amazon.
If you’re looking for a shiny new toy, this is it: The TV sports a spectacular picture quality, superior audio and incredible features.
And since it’s from Amazon, you can get free two-day shipping with Amazon Prime. If you’re not a member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial. Otherwise, shipping is free on orders of $25 or more.
Here’s the lowdown:
Sharp picture
The Sony TV comes equipped with a brilliant 49-inch LED display with a sharp 4K resolution. This display has the full power of Sony behind it, with bright colors and deep black levels.
Everything sounds just as good too, thanks to Sony’s ‘ClearAudio+’ for rich, balanced and immersive audio. No need to rewind to catch what characters are saying to each other—this TV brings audio clarity to the table.
“Absolutely impressed,” writes a delighted five-star reviewer. “What stands out the most is the perfect colors. I watch movies, news and sports, so seeing people look like ‘real’ people was a plus. I just finished watching a basketball game and I'm definitely convinced I made the right decision.”
The ultimate Google TV
The Android TV features video streaming built-in. This means it has all of the best streaming apps available, such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, Prime Video and more, plus it has a few rarities like HBO Max and NBC Universal’s Peacock streaming service too—which aren’t even available on Roku or Amazon Fire TV devices.
You can stream just about anything from your laptop or smartphone, too, thanks to its included Chromecast. Just tap a button on your device and ‘cast’ your content onto the TV.
This TV also boasts smart home settings with Alexa and Google Assistant support.
“This one absolutely did not disappoint,” raves a satisfied Amazon shopper. “I do a lot of streaming through Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, so having a good TV processor is very important, which is why I like Sony. The overall picture quality is stunning.”
Bottom line
At $201 off, this Sony 49-inch 4K Android TV is everything a premium TV should be, but at an affordable price. It has stunning picture and audio quality, and also has exceptional bells and whistles to get you started.
“It has everything I want—namely Amazon Prime, Netflix and YouTube, and I've had no problems using the apps,” shares another five-star reviewer. “Picture wise, it's absolutely gorgeous. It's easy to switch to whatever picture choice you want, too, but I don't see much difference between them. Am I happy I got this TV? Most definitely.”
Our advice? Snag it before the price jumps back up.
