      Hi Hammer,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the BRAVIA 3. We're sorry to hear that the picture clarity isn't meeting the high standard you've come to expect from Sony and your previous TV.

      The picture preferences on new models can sometimes feel different right out of the box, but the good news is that the BRAVIA 3 offers extensive customization for picture settings, including clarity.

      We have a complete, step-by-step guide designed to help you customize the picture settings—including sharpness and clarity—to perfectly suit your viewing preferences:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00190409?utm_source=glean

      Following the steps in this guide can often dramatically improve the clarity and overall viewing experience to your liking.

      If you are using external devices such as a cable box, streaming stick, or Blu-ray player, a less-than-optimal connection could also impact picture quality:

      Please ensure you are using a High-Speed HDMI cable between the external device and your TV. Standard or older cables might not support the best resolution that the BRAVIA 3 can display.

      We are confident that by following the guide and checking your cable connections, you will be able to enjoy the superb picture quality your new Sony TV is capable of.

      Thank you for considering Sony!

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    I was disappointed with my Sony Bravia TV. The bluetooth connectivity is not as quick as my last Sony Bravia. I need to intermittently tell the TV to connect to my head phones. Picture is OK. I stream using ATT as my ISP and suspect they are streaming 1080p instead of 4K. The sound is "tinty" with little base hence the headphones. My next TV will not be a Sony.

      Hi BodinH, thanks for sharing your experience with the Sony - 50" Class BRAVIA 3! We're genuinely sorry to hear about the issues you've faced with your TV, we understand how disappointing this situation must be. Here are some recommendations you can try:
      1- Make sure you turn off the Bluetooth on your other devices so that the TV is the first one that will be connecting to your headphones.
      2- Make sure the headphones and the TV are not too far from each other when pairing, recommended distance is around 3 to 5 feet
      3- Check for any software update available for the TV
      4- Use the built-in equalizer that allows you to customize the sound to your preference for better bass, you can go to settings > display and sound > sound > sound customization > equalizer
      We hope these steps help you to improve your overall experience. Thank you for considering Sony products! Best regards, -Dominick Sony_US

    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.

      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.

      If the issue persists, our support team can provide further assistance. You can contact them directly by visiting this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
