    Picked this tv based mostly on price and size. It has the audio and video inputs I needed to pair with an older soundbar as well as a 4K blu ray player (Sony).

    Not too fond of dealing with a TV run by an internet company. But I've been told it's what comes with every TV now.

      Hello CarolynE, thank you for your feedback.

      We recognize that navigating technology and internet-based services can be less than ideal when purchasing a new television. However, the BRAVIA 3 offers impressive features, and accessing online content is simple and convenient—just a few button presses will do the trick.

      Some advantages of Internet-Based TV Systems
      Enhanced Content Access: Internet-based TVs provide access to a vast range of apps and streaming services directly through the television. This means you can watch Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and many more services without needing additional devices like Roku or Chromecast.

      Smart Home Integration: Sony TVs with Google TV offer integration with smart home devices. This means you can control your TV and other smart devices using voice commands via Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, creating a seamless home automation experience.

      Regular Updates: Operating systems like Google TV receive regular updates, which improve functionality and add new features over time. This ensures that your TV remains up-to-date with the latest technology and security improvements.

      Customization and Personalization: Google TV allows for personalized recommendations based on your viewing habits, ensuring you can easily find content that interests you without extensive searching.

      At Sony, we recognize that sometimes all you require is a straightforward television. By selecting the basic TV option instead of Google TV, you can enjoy access to select streaming apps while still using your TV as a non-smart device. It's the perfect solution for those who prefer a simpler viewing experience!

      We hope you find this information helpful. If you require any assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would be more than happy to assist you. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Thank you for sharing your feedback about your Sony TV and highlighting how the features keep improving over time, RODH. We're glad to hear you're enjoying your K50S30 in your bedroom!

      Across Sony’s TV lineup, there has been a consistent focus on enhancing features and user experience. Many recent models benefit from updates such as improved picture quality, enhanced color accuracy straight out of the box, more responsive smart TV platforms (like Google TV), and frequent firmware updates that add new capabilities or refine performance. For example, these updates can deliver improved support for streaming apps, better sound customization options, and even energy-saving features—making our TVs adaptable for both living rooms and bedroom environments.

      If you ever want to make the most of new features as they’re released, be sure to check for the latest software updates on your TV. We're glad your Sony TV is serving you well, especially in a comfortable space like your bedroom! If you have specific features you love most, we'd love to hear more.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Best regards,
      Gus

    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

    Do not buy any of the open box TV’s especially when it says excellent condition. It’s a lie. Ours had a huge crack along the side where the outer frame seam is located. You can see pixels shining through the crack. Garbage and misleading. I would consider this condition “FAIR” at best.

      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.
