The Sony BRAVIA 5 is satisfactory for mixed usage. It looks decent in reference conditions, with fairly deep blacks and vibrant enough colors to enjoy, but its mediocre HDR brightness means HDR content lacks the impact it should have. It gets bright enough in SDR to fight glare from indirect lighting, but direct light sources are distracting. Although the TV supports most modern gaming features, its very slow pixel transitions mean motion is blurry, which holds back its gaming performance. Sadly, its narrow viewing angle means it's not great for wide seating arrangements.
