Sony 50" Class BRAVIA 3 LED 4K UHD - Excellent!
Picked up the Sony 50" BRAVIA 3 LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2024) at Best Buy in Watertown, MA last month and I’m really impressed. I am writing this review after 1 month of daily use. Setup was easy, the picture is stunning—vivid colors, deep blacks, smooth motion and even HD content looks great. Sound is surprisingly clear, though a soundbar would level it up. It was a bit difficult to connect Samsung soundbar that I had before; however I feel its my lack of understaning the technology to connect two devices. To be honest, the sound bar is not required for sony TV. The sound from TV itself very smooth and clear. Inbulid, Google TV makes streaming super simple, and I set up accounts for both my wife and me. It’s super easy to switch between profiles, and each of us gets personalized recommendations. Gaming on it (PS5) is fantastic with low lag and crisp HDR. For the price, it feels like premium quality without the premium cost. Definitely recommend and worth every penny.

Sony TV
The Sony tv had a higher price, than other options, but I’m glad I went with it. Note: I don’t do reviews typically. It has a nice picture, and has been easy to navigate

Great TV
Just got access to internet and needed to upgrade my tv. Purchased the 50' Sony Bravia 3 Led 4k UHD Smart TV. It was easy set up and picture and sound is fantastic. Would definitely purchase this again when another tv needs to be replaced.
