    Television gives crisp clear picture. Sound is good. Instruction manual is not much help. Doesn’t give much detail on how to navigate the tv. So you have to go online or ‘hunt and peck’ to figure out how to do stuff.

    Best high-end 43in TV

    My previous TCL TV died, and I needed to find a replacement for my bedroom. I was looking for a TV that had all the current features, like Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. At this price point, other high-end brands like Samsung and LG don’t even offer both of these features, but Sony does. The TV also has excellent sound and picture quality. The four HDMI ports are a nice touch. Overall, this TV checks all the boxes. My wife loves it too! I definitely recommend the Sony - 43" Class BRAVIA 3 TV.

    Second-Best Smart TV I've Owned

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This television is great. I've had mostly positive experiences with Sony's Android TVs, and this one is no different. My only complaint about this particular TV is the "picture mode settings" that it defaults to. If I let it "setup a device" then it always ends up locking itself into the worst settings imaginable for the device. If I choose to so it manually, the TV still defaults to a greyed-out "Game" mode, meaning I have to swap the picture settings everytime I change device inputs. Other than that, this TV has been perfect.

    Sony Bravia Issue with ESPN app

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My 11 year old Vizio TV stopped working. I was planning to buy a 43" Samsung TV. The salesperson at BestBuy talked me into buying this Sony Bravia...I was rather easily persuaded because the picture quality on this TV appeared substantially better than all the rest of the ones on display. However, out of the box the picture quality was so unnatural and pretty bad. No instruction manuals comes with it, I had to watch a few youtube videos to adjust the picture quality. Do not be misled by how good TV screens appear in a showroom. I have subscriptions to Amazon Prime, Youtube Premium, and ESPN+. There is a major issue with the ESPN app on Sony Bravia TVs...after 45 minutes on ESPN app, TV freezes and shuts down, you have to unplug and replug to restart the TV. Everyone has this problem with Sony Bravia TVs and Sony has no solution for it! If you call Sony support, they will tell you to uninstall and reinstall the app which is a complete waste of time, the same issue still exists. I wish I bought a Samsung TV.

    This TV is outstanding. We have purchased about 5 Sony TVs over the years and have never had a problem. This TV replaced my 10 year old Sony which was not a Smart TV. Otherwise I would not have replaced it. Perfect size for a bedroom and the sound quality is very good - no real need for a sound bar.
