This is a SUBSTANTIAL upgrade from the 2024 Bravia 3, which felt like a budget model. Despite this being considered entry level (I purchased the 43" version), it feels like an expensive, premium television. The remote feels sleek, the XR processor runs at IMMACULATE speeds, the picture quality is clear, the FOUR 2.1 HDMI ports are PERFECT for numerous consoles, the HDR, VRR, and ALLM gaming features work like a charm, and the Google operating system WITH Gemini is awesome for streaming. Paired with the PlayStation 5, it gives you all the immersion you'll ever need out of your Sony console. Blooming is hardly noticeable despite the lack of local dimming zones. The colors won't pop like an OLED or QLED, yet it manages to do a phenomenal job for vibrant videos and cleans up low bitrate shows. I've been enjoying the additional 5 Sony Pictures Core credits aswell. They managed to put in all the necessary features of a high-end model into a smaller, affordable device. It's perfect for a bedroom, guest room, or a living room! When toggling off ambient light sensor, you get to feel the maximum brightness. The 120hz refresh rate is EXTREMELY noticeable during fast paced games. No complaints thus far.

Thank you for the incredibly detailed feedback, JAYCEEG!
We are so glad to hear the BRAVIA 3 II is hitting the mark for you as a substantial upgrade! It is awesome to know that the fast XR processor speeds, the four HDMI 2.1 ports for gaming, and the picture quality are delivering that premium, high-end feel you were looking for. We also really appreciate you highlighting how well it pairs with the PlayStation 5 and how much you are enjoying those Sony Pictures Core credits.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

I really like the picture quality I get from playing on my PS5. Huge upgrade from a 27 inch 4K monitor. I don’t compete in multiplayer games so a small screen wasn’t necessary for me. Sounds good with the speakers it has but I do have a Bose sound bar hooked up to this as well. 4 HDMI ports is wonderful very helpful. The remote control is easy to use. Only real complaint is price. If you can accept the cost of it I would say you’re going to be satisfied if you want to upgrade from a small PC monitor to a bigger TV.

Hi SamuelM,
We are truly heartened to learn that upgrading from your monitor to the BRAVIA 3 II has provided such a fantastic picture for your PS5 gaming sessions! It is wonderful to know that you are enjoying the four helpful HDMI ports, the easy to use remote, and the great audio setup with your sound bar.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

We bought this size TV to replace our old Sony that finally gave out on us. It fits nicely into our wall unit. My husband was able to do the set-up on his own. Video tutorials were very helpful. We are happy with the quality of the picture. The remote control has some features that are new, but I found info online to explain everything. I do not have any complaints or concerns. We do have a sound bar, so no complaints about sound. I would like to say that the brightness is just right -- my previous Sony was sometimes too bright on a white screen. This model does not overwhelm your eyes when it is on a white screen. We also like that this model is very energy efficient and will use less electricity than our old Sony. I also noticed that our new Sony TV does not put out heat like the old Sony did.

I am pleased with the picture quality, sound, and brightness of the Sony Bravia 3. The remote control worked perfectly for nearly two weeks as I switched from the Sony channels to my Verizon cable channels until now. It takes nearly 5 minutes for my television to turn on. What is the problem? How can this be fixed?
Posted
Hi BROOKEF,
We are so sorry to hear about the long delay you are experiencing when turning on your BRAVIA 3, as we know how frustrating that wait can be after such a great initial experience. To help resolve this, we recommend performing a quick power reset by unplugging the TV's power cord from the wall outlet for two minutes before plugging it back in. Additionally, try temporarily disconnecting your Verizon cable box to check if an HDMI signal handshake is causing the startup lag, and verify that your TV software is up to date in the settings menu. If the slow startup continues, please visit our official Sony Support page at https://www.sony.com/electronics/support so our team can help you resolve this issue.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

This is my 4th Sony tv purchase and couldn’t be happier. The report seems a little cheaper in quality and makes a loud clicking noise when pressing buttons. The volume has a big jump from lever 4 to 5. Not a big enough issue for me, and I’m still super happy.

Hi Lalaloveme!

bought this as an open box deal listed as excellent condition but it was far from that - my bad thinking excellent would be like new. the screen had a few dead pixels, vertical banding and this line of light that flashes and appears on different parts of the screen whether it’s the edge of the tv, around titles, or the frame of the movie meeting the black bars (as seen in one of the photos it’s a blue line). anyways best buy should do a better job on testing open box products but i digress my real issue is actually sony itself lol the reason i would not recommend this is solely because sony support said “all these things are completely normal for this type of tv, this lcd led model and that it’s functioning as it should be,,”>_> anyone else have these problems with their brand new tv?? like on app screens, trailers, ads, etc? because what they’re saying is that its completely normal if it does|: ofc i power cycled the tv even factory reset it everything that would be suggested to do and then some but still yielded the same results): aside from that my remote was responsive for a day or two and then suddenly stopped being as responsive, itd take ages to exit out of streaming apps or wouldn’t register d-pad clicks, but volume buttons were still responsive kinda weird also as someone mentioned before there is a big jump in sound from volume 4 to 5 anyways some pros would be the tv is bright and has real nice coloring;; kinda sad cuz i wanted to love the tv but if this is the quality it should be by sony supports standards thats wild and disappointing,, i returned this tv and ultimately purchased a different tv brand and upgraded to an oled model(:

Hi TANNIES,
We understand and are deeply sorry for this frustrating experience with your open-box TV and your interaction with support. Dead pixels, vertical banding, erratic flashing lines, and remote responsiveness issues are certainly not the standard of quality we aim to provide, and we apologize if you received incorrect information regarding how these issues are classified.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be shared directly with our product and support teams to help us improve our products.
Thank you for giving Sony a try, and we wish you all the best with your new OLED TV.

I love my new Sony Bravia 3-II. Picture quality is very good and second only to an OLED or Mini-LED which would cost almost twice as much. The only area that I found less than stellar was the Google TV interface which I found was good but not quite as user friendly as the FireTV I was using prior to getting this unit (which I is the reason I rated it a 4/5). My TV sits in my office and is exposed to a lot of sunlight. The pricture brightness and the Sony electronics sold me on this set. I definitely would recommend this TV as a good second unit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great TV! I absolutely love my new Sony BRAVIA 3 II 43" TV. The picture is fantastic! The colors are bright and natural, and everything looks incredibly clear and sharp. The Google TV is very easy to use, and I really like being able to use Gemini to search for things and control the TV with my voice. I also like that it has four HDMI 2.1 ports, which is great for connecting gaming systems and other devices. The sound is also better than I expected for a TV this size. What really stands out to me is how good the picture looks, especially when watching movies and sports. Sony's picture quality and processing really make a difference. For a 43-inch TV, I honestly think this is an excellent value. It looks and performs like a much more expensive television. I highly recommend the Sony BRAVIA 3 II. It's an outstanding TV and definitely gets 5 stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm very happy with my Sony 43" Bravia 3 II. The picture quality is excellent--bright, sharp, and crisp. Sports especially look fantastic, with vibrant colors and plenty of detail that make watching games really enjoyable. The sound quality is also very good, and I've been impressed with how clear everything sounds. Setup was easy overall, although it did take a little longer than I expected. Once everything was set up, the TV was very easy to use. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.

This TV fits perfectly in an armoire, and despite its smaller size, it offers the same picture quality and features as much larger TVs. For TV is easy to setup, and the remote is uncluttered and simple to use.

Before this TV I was using a Samsung 43" Monitor/TV, it was 60hertz which was plenty fine for watching TV and playing my PS5 on. After 5 years that Samsung Monitor/TV started showing its age, it was slow when you turned it on - taking a solid 30-45 seconds to get fully up to speed after you power it on, not the brightest screen anymore and just seemed like it was time to get something new since I do game daily. This TV was a great choice, it was the same size - 43", came in 120hertz refresh rate, 4K and is an LED, I know Sony has been making TV's for decades - so I wasn't overly concerned about the quality. It's been a great change, it's bright, amazing sound, is nice with my games.

Thank you for the fantastic feedback, Dmlong1!
We are so glad to hear that making the jump to the K43XR30M2 has been such a great change from your old setup. It is awesome to know that the 120Hz refresh rate, 4K picture, and brightness are hitting the spot for your daily PS5 gaming sessions, and that you are enjoying the amazing sound too.

Great 43 inch tv. The upgrades from my older 800H was impressive. The motion controll and colors are impressive. Side viewing has some washout. Over all a great tv. Would recommend.

The TV has very bright colors It is best viewed straight on as LED televisions typically appear more faded from side views. The sound is better than a lot of TVs.

Great picture quality and brightness, but the sound is poor, and you'll need a sound bar.

I was very excited to see Sony come out with this TV, as I have been in the market for a newer 120hz TV without breaking the bank. Set up was a little frustrating, as the QR code for Google TV did not work, which meant I had to type everything out on the remote. I'm still currently in the "figuring out" phase to see which settings work best for the PS5, DirecTV etc, but I can say the graphics on the PS5 are much smoother. Color on the TV is great, only downside I would say is I don't like the sound quality coming from the TV. Excited to see the TV's full potential as I perfect the settings, but nonetheless a great value for what you're getting.
