My Panasonic Plasma Television recently failed and I need a replacement. The screen quality and energy savings is better then the Plasma, given it is newer technology. The weight of this LED Television, one man can carry it, for safety use two people to lift bulky items.

Controls lack a number pad to select your TV station. It does have voice commands that work good.
TV is hard to turn off. Not sure what it wants. Some times I have to use voice commands to get results.
Manual is very poor.

Hi JonathonG,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the BRAVIA 3. We're glad that you are enjoying the picture quality of the TV and how it works well with your PS5.
We understand your need to switch input effortlessly. The TV remote control supports voice control using the Google Assistant or MIC button. Ask Google to find movies, stream apps, play music, and control the TV - all with your voice. Press the Google Assistant (or MIC) button on the remote to get started. For more information, please refer to this link:

Sony screen freeze problem

Bought the Sony - 43" Class BRAVIA 3 LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2024) Model:K43S30 SKU:6578580. Within 2 days had the channel screen freeze as noted by other reviews. Sony response is to factory reset and restart. Best Buy store rep said to change antenna source. Did not work. Returned and received a replacement. Two days later same screen freeze. I was going to by another like model, now I'm not.
Sony needs to have a software update to solve this problem.

Hi DavidB, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. We understand your frustration with the screen freezing issue. Our team is aware of the problem and are actively working on a solution. In the meantime, we recommend trying the following steps:

Hi PatriciaM,
Thanks for sharing your experience. We understand that setting up the remote alongside both Wi-Fi and a Verizon Box can be a little confusing at first. Once everything is properly synced, though, the control should be much smoother. Your input helps us continue improving setup guidance for future users. Thanks for choosing Sony. -Eliab
