Best Modern Direct-Lit LED Television of '26
JAYCEEG Posted
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!

Love this tv!
Lalaloveme Posted
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.

Remote Glitch
BROOKEF Posted
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?

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,

Good Value for the Money
KatyTiger Posted
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.

A great entry level 120hz TV
JORDANZ Posted
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.

This model TV has a defect. Sony - 43" BRAVIA 3
AnthonyM Posted
I had these problems with this TV and the same model replacement. Both were returned. Screen freezes, very slow remote control response, TV did not turn back on. To fix these issues I had to unplug the TV wait, plug it back in and it would work until it happened again. 3 week nightmare until I purchased the Samsung . Not a single problem with this one. Best Buy customer service was great!
