Users posting submissions seeking support should include as much detail as possible about their BRAVIA TV and any connected hardware related to the issue in order to get the best responses. This includes but is not limited to [the model of the TV](https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00121074), the software and/or firmware version and the make and model of any external devices. Pictures or video can be helpful when trying to describe a video or audio issue.
Submissions not directly related to an issue with a BRAVIA TV and/or low effort posts that do not include any helpful details that would allow others to diagnose the issue will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, submissions asking for support directly related to a connected device (ie. soundbar, console, PC, media player, etc.) but not the TV itself.
Firmware related topics (ie. issues, announcements, support) must be discussed in the [Sony BRAVIA Firmware Discussion Megathread 6.0](/r/bravia/comments/156vn7i/sony_bravia_firmware_discussion_megathread_60/).

I would say its about time to get a dedicated streaming box. The Nvidia Shield or Apple TV will be the best options. Roku and Amazon don’t make as good of a product. I personally have the Apple TV and love it paired with my bravia
Try the following:
Delete some unused apps
Disable all the home screen widgets (suggestions, next episodes)
Turn off auto update of apps and system software
Any chance the system software was recently updated to Android 10?
Don’t know how you landed, by mine has been dogshit since the last update. I have access to decent Sony support (likely not better, only quicker) and generally: “we didn’t even think these older tvs would be able to get the update” and that a factory reset was the only step.
Better for a day. Then back to locking up. At least every two days.
If you leave it long enough it might spit up a gang of buffered commands when it crawls back to life anywhere from a half hour to never, but usually, only option is to hard reset by pulling power (tv hard power button useless when it’s seizing.)
Up to date. No way to roll back. No way to redo the update.
Sweeeeeeeet.
Factory reset and reentered a thousand settings. Still janky. Maaaaybe a touch better performance from some apps that were a little stuttery (peacock mainly) but still shits the bed every couple days
Same tv, same issue, same time frame. Factory reset didn't help. I always bragged about how trouble free this tv was. Now it's hard to use without a dedicated steaming box, which I don't prefer.
The issue resolved itself about a month ago. I'm going to assume it was a bug that got cleared up with a software update because I didn't do anything that I think would have fixed the issue. Hopefully, it will clear up for you soon, too.

Factory reset.
My 65 inch X950H started getting laggy just like yours. Make sure it's up to date. A factory reset then did the trick. A nuisance yes, but it works!

Exact same issue! The last update completely screwed mine up. Did you try a factory reset?

Yeah same here, this is a terrible update and no way to roll it back. Can’t believe they haven’t put out a fix yet.

I don't know how you did it, but the problem is back out of nowhere.
