Review: [Sony Bravia 2M2 Series 55″ (K‑55S25BM2)
Author: Ashwini Karela
If you’re hunting for a 55-inch TV that ticks smart, quality and brand reliability boxes, the Sony Bravia 2M2 Series (model K-55S25BM2) deserves a close look. In this review, I will walk you through what it brings to the table, where it excels — and where it falls short.
Design & Build
The TV features a sleek design with thin bezels and a clean finish. According to listings, the model dimensions are about 1227 × 724 × 82 mm and weight around 13.2 kg for the 55″ version.
It comes with the usual stand or wall-mount options. The build feels premium — as you’d expect from the brand. The aesthetics blend well into a modern living room setup.
Display & Picture Quality
This TV offers a 4K Ultra HD (3840 × 2160 pixels) panel.
The back-light type is Direct LED and it supports HDR formats like HDR10 and HLG.
Sony’s “4K Processor X1” and “4K X-Reality PRO” upscaling tech are built-in, enhancing non-4K content.
In real-world use, the picture is crisp, colours vibrant, and the upscaling helps older content look better. For regular streaming and TV watching this is a solid performer.
On the flip side: the refresh rate is quoted as 50 Hz / 60 Hz in some specs. That means for ultra-fast motion (like high-end gaming) it may not be as smooth as some 120 Hz models. If you’re a hardcore gamer, that’s a caveat.
Smart Features & Platform
The K-55S25BM2 runs on the Google TV platform, offering access to Google Play, voice control (Google Assistant), built-in Chromecast, Apple AirPlay and HomeKit support.
Navigation is intuitive. The interface loads your favourite streaming apps, and switching among them is fluid. The inclusion of voice remote makes life easier.
Connectivity wise: multiple HDMI ports (for set-top box, console etc), USB ports, Bluetooth, WiFi.
So if you want a “smart” experience with minimal fuss, this delivers.
Sound & Audio
Sony has equipped this model with 20 W output (2 channel) and supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X audio formats.
In practice, it gives clear dialogue, decent base and immersive enough sound for day-to-day viewing. However, it won’t match a dedicated soundbar or home-theatre setup if you demand deep, booming bass or theatre-level surround.
Value & Use-Case
For a 55″ 4K Smart LED TV from Sony, this model offers strong value. Users on Amazon report high ratings (4.8/5) and praise for picture quality, service & installation.
If your use-case is: streaming, TV, console gaming at moderate frame-rates, general home cinema — this fits very well.
If your use-case is ultra-high performance gaming, very wide viewing angles, or extremely bright HDR viewing environments, you might find a few compromises.
Pros & Cons
👍 Pros

Crisp 4K panel with effective upscaling
Full Google TV smart ecosystem + voice remote
Good connectivity options

👎 Cons
Refresh rate limits for high-end gaming (50/60Hz)

Last words
The Sony Bravia 2M2 Series 55″ (K-55S25BM2) is a very strong all-rounder for 2025 in its segment. It keeps things simple, delivers the essentials well, and carries the reliability of the Sony brand. For most households, this TV will hit the sweet spot of size, features and smart usability. If you understand its limitations (especially for gaming or ultra-high performance demands), it’s a solid pick.
