    Overall, great TV! Was very surprised at the clarity and the overall “Cinematic “ experience was exceptional! The sound quality was great, I just wish there was a way to make it more even and less cinematic at times; but, I’m okay with it regardless. i hooked my sound bar up. Great buy.

    Bought this at the suggestion of the Best Buy salesman. We also purchased our previous tv through Best Buy. We started having problems with it and then lost picture. Although we are total tech we had to pay for the tech to come out. That fee was 99$ to tell us it could not be fixed. The tv was just a few months passed its two year warranty ! We also had to pay for delivery and install of the new tv. We’ll see if this tv lasts more than two years!

    I was a little hesitant to purchase this because it had no reviews but I am extremely happy that I did. It has access to all the apps you could want (Hulu, Netflix, etc.). The menu is easy to use and responsive. The picture quality is excellent! I connected my PS5 to it and i think the picture quality is better than our 85" Sony. Perhaps I need to upgrade the cables on the 85". The sound is ok I suppose. I would prefer to pair this with a Sony soundbar and wireless subwoofer, but it would be too loud at that point.

    Set up took awhile as the eARC for an AV receiver must be in input 3. Not sure but this then triggered a large firmware update on my Yahama receiver as I was not getting any sound. The TV also had a large update once first powered up. All was good for several hours then the picture quality went to an impressionist painting style. Tried many things but it was the TV. A call to geek squad solved this with instructions for a hard reboot aka pull the plug, wait, and plug back in. Problem solved. Picture and sound setup much easier with less options than the Samsung it replaced. On screen navigation once learned is OK but could use some intuitive help. If you have an AV reciver, check your eARC and 4K upscale settings for best experience. There is a long delay for the TV to turn on the AV receiver, then my Yahama receiver also has a time delay before pumping sound. Get use to it and it is no big deal. I have both Samsungs and Sonys. Just pick the best bang for your buck. At the required 50-inch size needed to fit my wall unit, Best Buy had one of each in my price range. The ones at the club stores are stripped down cheaper versions which might be OK for guest bedrooms, not for main living rooms. Sound is thru my AV receiver but I guess the speakers are OK. There is a speaker setting for if table or wall mounted.

    I have had this over a month now and I have nothing but high praise for this TV. I come from a world of Samsung, and the difference in quality to me is striking - the video, the sound, - all better. The Google TV integration is seamless, bringing together all my favorite streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video in one place. Its sleek design fits perfectly in my living room, and the build quality feels premium. It’s been a great addition to my home setup. Overall, this TV has exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether I’m watching movies, sports, or just streaming shows, the experience is immersive and enjoyable. I highly recommend the Sony BRAVIA 3 LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV to anyone looking for a high-quality viewing experience.

    It's a fine tv. I have the comparable Samsung in another room as well and can honestly say that the sound quality straight from the Sony TV is far and away better than the other and to me, that's worth it. Don't get me wrong, it can still benefit from a sound bar, but out of the box, it sounds great.

    Love the picture quality, but had some difficulty with the mounting instructions. Turns out the 4 female/male screws that come with the product are not needed for all wall mounts. After screwing them in as instructed then discovered it was a mistake we could only remove 3 of the 4 screws so now the tv is a crooked on the wall.

    Purchased the New Bravia 3 TV over the older models after a discussion with the Best Buy Sales Consultant. He provide very useful information and offered valuable advise. Delivery to the store took 2 days, as promised. The pick-up was easy and set-up the same. The image quality is very good. At this point, I've only set it up as a standard TV but once I'm used to its operation via my DISH remote, I'll activate the Google TV feature.

    This is my first Sony TV since the days of the big box TVs. I've purchased Sharp, LG, Samsung, and Insignia brand TVs in the past. This is better than most of those brands. I have an OLED LG with better picture quality than this TV but it cost quite a bit more, and this TV comes pretty close to that quality. The build and look of this TV are great, the interface is easy to use and the remote control works well. I haven't tried gaming on this TV but for streaming, it's pretty close to perfect at this price point.

    Great picture but it takes a lot of tweaking to get it right. The default settings has the backlight low so the screen is dark. The built in speakers aren't good definitely going to need external speakers
