This is the type of elegant design choice you expect from a Sony TV, as opposed to more affordable brands. Photograph: Parker HallThe Bravia 5 comes with Google TV, which ties with Roku for me when it comes to the best TV OS these days. I also really love that Google TVs can be made to show recent Google Photos of loved ones when in standby mode. I used it to watch the F1 finale on F1 TV with great ease and effect. You get five free films with the purchase of a Sony TV, and you can also purchase more films or rent films after the five run out.
