BRAVIA 3
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If your just wanting to watch movies its good but other than that below par Sony is crazy thinking this thing is worth 600$ new

Posted .Thank you for sharing your candid feedback, RichardL.
We understand your perspective. It sounds like you are satisfied with the movie-watching experience but feel the TV falls short in other areas, and you believe the initial price point is too high for the overall feature set.
The BRAVIA 3 focuses on providing a quality 4K picture (with the 4K HDR Processor X1 and Triluminos Pro) and smart features (Google TV, Dolby Vision) for the most common use cases, like streaming movies and shows.
However, we certainly understand your disappointment if you were looking for features that are typically found on our mid-range (like BRAVIA 7) or premium models.
Your feedback on the value proposition at its new price is crucial, and we take all customer comments seriously as we evaluate our pricing and product offerings in the competitive TV market.
We appreciate you being a Sony customer and for giving us this honest assessment.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

TV cannot hold wifi connection
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV constantly drops wifi connection. I took all required procedures to address this issue including constant contact with my wifi provider. This only occurs with this tv. My other 3 Sony Bravia's don't seem to have this problem. I have reset the network, disconnected the power source, reset my router and I can't watch more than 10 minutes of a program before it drops the wifi signal. The issue is not the quality of picture and sound, it is the failure to maintain wifi connection.

Posted .Hello Oles,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your BRAVIA 3. We're here to help! Let’s go through some troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem with your TV disconnecting from the network.
1. Check for missing updates: Occasionally, your TV may not function as expected due to outdated software. You can verify this by navigating to Settings > System > About > System Software Update > Check for Updates.
2. Verify your router's frequency band settings: The performance of your TV can vary depending on the band it is connected to. We recommend using the 2.4 GHz band for optimal performance.
3. Review your Internet Protocol settings: It is advisable to use IPv4 instead of IPv6 for better compatibility.
4. Enable IP control: To improve network performance, we suggest activating simple IP control. You can do this by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Home Network > IP Control > Simple IP Control > Turn it On.
5- Check the distance: When using Wi-Fi®, the distance between your router and your device plays a crucial role in connectivity. Ensure that the router is positioned within 25 feet (7.62 meters) of your device for optimal performance.
6- Utilize physical connections: For a more stable connection, consider using an Ethernet (LAN) cable to connect your router directly to your TV.
7- Test with a hotspot: If your router is not providing a strong signal to your TV, try using a mobile hotspot to determine if the issue persists. If the problem does not occur while using the hotspot, it may be necessary to review your service agreement with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If the problem continues, please reach out to us via email for further assistance. Kindly include your name, Best Buy username, model number, details of the issue, and your telephone number in your message to [email protected].
We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced and are committed to helping you resolve this matter. Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Gus

Good - but on dark colors, hard to see detail
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The colors and sound are good. However, for anything really dark, it is hard to see detail. Someone wear's something black, and it's like black paint. Hard to see detail.

Posted .Hi DanV,
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you're enjoying the colors and sound, but we're sorry to hear about the difficulty seeing detail in dark scenes. This is not the intended experience.
We recommend adjusting the Brightness or Black Level in your picture settings, or trying a different picture mode like Cinema to help reveal more detail.

50” Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV would not download the Spectrum app without having Xumo box. I was disappointed in the fact, I asked about Spectrum app.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi PattiB,
We apologize for any disappointment regarding the Spectrum TV app. Currently, Spectrum does not offer a native app for the Google TV platform. However, you can still enjoy your Spectrum content on your BRAVIA 3 by using the built-in Chromecast feature to cast the Spectrum TV app directly from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to the TV. Alternatively, the TV supports Spectrum through external devices like a Roku, Apple TV, or the Xumo box connected via HDMI.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

Posted .Hi BradS,
We're truly sorry to hear that you’ve had a difficult experience with your TV and its Wi-Fi capability. We would like to work with you directly to get your BRAVIA 3 back online.
To rule out common signal or hardware hang-ups, please try these three troubleshooting steps:
1- Dual Power Reset: Unplug both your TV and your internet router from the power outlet for at least 2 minutes. Plug the router back in first, wait for it to fully boot up, and then plug in the TV.
2- Check Distance: Ensure the TV is within 25 feet of your router and that there aren't major physical obstructions (like thick concrete walls) blocking the signal.
3- Network Diagnostics: You can see exactly where the connection is failing by going to Settings > Network and Internet > Network Status > Check Connection.
If the Wi-Fi still isn't working after these steps, please email us immediately. We want to personally evaluate this situation for you. Send the following details to [email protected]:
