High quality for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for my grandmother as an upgrade to her older TV. Super easy setup and has a great picture. For the price, you won’t get the best of the best picture, but won’t be disappointed, either.

Great TV but lacking one important feature
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this TV to replace a previous TV whose backlight had failed. The picture and sound quality are excellent. I watch TV through both an HDMI satellite box as well as through several streaming services. When I watch older shows that predate HD by decades, I'm impressed by just how clear the engine upscales the images. I made a few extra tweaks of my own on top of those settings, and everything looks even better. I subtract two stars because this TV doesn't support wi-fi direct display mirroring for Windows laptops. The much cheaper TV this one replaced had that feature. I hope Sony rolls this out at some point through firmware. If they do, this will be a perfect TV.

Posted .Hi TylerB,
Thank for commenting. We're happy to hear about your satisfaction with the amazing picture & sound quality, upscaling feature, and superb performance of your BRAVIA 3. We greatly appreciate your input about the Wi-Fi Direct or Screen Mirroring function and we're sorry if this TV doesn't support it. As an alternative, you may use the built-in Chromecast of the TV to cast your favorite websites and app screens on your mobile device or computer directly to the TV. For more information on how you can cast content from your mobile device or computer to a Google TV, please refer to the following article:

A Perfectly Fine TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a cinephile by any means, but I upgraded from a 30" TV when I moved into a new apartment and as far a modest upgrade goes, it's...fine, I guess? It's essentially an entry-level 4K TV: it *technically* does HDR but not very well, and I wish it was a bit brighter (or at least had less glare when a light was shined in its general direction). For what it offers, it's fine, if maybe a little expensive. Can't comment on the sound quality, because I immediately hooked it up to my soundbar.

Posted .Hi David,
We appreciate your candid feedback regarding the 43" BRAVIA 3. We understand that as an entry-level 4K model, you were underwhelmed by the brightness, HDR performance, and were impacted by glare.
To help maximize the picture quality, please try turning off the Light Sensor in the picture settings and switch to the Vivid Picture Mode in bright rooms, as this will help the screen reach its maximum brightness. If you are still unsatisfied with the viewing experience, please reach out to our support team for model-specific picture adjustments and to ensure the TV is performing optimally: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US
Thanks for choosing Sony.
