Excellent picture.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent picture and perfect size for an apartment living room or bedroom. Unpacking it was a hassle, but I suppose that's necessary to protect it. If this model looks good to you, be sure to check out the 55-inch version; I failed to do so during a Memorial Day weekend sale and realized later I could have had the slighter larger version for just $40 or so more. I've got it hooked up to a Sony sound bar, so not sure just how good it sounds without the help.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the Sony K50S30, Safari10. We are immensely pleased to hear that you're enjoying the excellent picture quality and that the size fits well in your apartment living room or bedroom. We strive for a high standard in image performance and appreciate you highlighting this aspect.
We understand that unpacking can sometimes be challenging. Our packaging is designed to protect your TV during shipping, but your note is extremely valuable for identifying opportunities to improve the setup experience for our customers.
Regarding the Memorial Day sale and size options, we recognize how easy it can be to miss a deal. Your suggestion to consider the 55-inch version is a helpful tip for others looking for the best fit and value for their space.
As for the sound, pairing the TV with a Sony sound bar often creates an immersive audio experience. If you ever try the TV’s built-in speakers and have feedback to share, we’d be interested to hear your thoughts.
Thank you again for your honest review and for being part of the Sony community.
Best regards,

We are delighted to hear you find the picture quality to be very impressive, especially for a standard LED model! Delivering outstanding visual performance is our top priority.
We also recognize your comments regarding the built-in speakers. With modern display designs prioritizing ultra-slim profiles, we often find that an external sound bar or system is the best way to achieve the robust audio experience that matches the picture quality. Thank you for confirming that adding a sound bar resolved the issue and allowed you to fully enjoy your viewing experience.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Good tv
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the open box one. It was in good working condition. Picture quality was good. I like the time display feature it had as well. My only compliant is the bulkiness of the screen. I ended up returning it due to that and got a slimmer model. Other than that it is a good tv.

We are glad to hear that you found your open-box K-50S30 in good working condition and that you enjoyed the picture quality and the time display feature.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the design and thickness of the screen. While we aim to provide a high-quality viewing experience at every price point, we understand that the physical profile of the TV is an important factor for your home setup. It is great to hear that you were able to find a slimmer model that better fits your needs, and we hope you continue to enjoy the Sony experience with your new television.

High quality Sony TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Almost a great TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The smart TV took a bit more to set up for an acceptable picture than an of my previous smart TVs. Works great now, just hope I dont get a reset and have to start over. Also disappointed with the remote and the fact that when changing channel too fast, the one gets a frozen picture. To fix, one needs to power off and back on.

Posted .Hi Radioman, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Sony - 50" Class BRAVIA 3! We're very glad to hear that you've been able to fine-tune the settings to your preference, unlocking the full visual potential of your TV! Regarding the momentary freeze when rapidly changing channels, this isn't normal and we want to ensure you're getting a seamless performance on your TV. You can check for any available updates on your TV by going to settings > system > about > software update. And you can also check for updates available for your remote by selecting settings > remotes and accessories > remote control > software update. Having both devices up to date will ensure they communicate properly. If the issue persists while changing the channels, remember you can contact our technical support team via: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv

Affordable option for 4K and a a reliable brand
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have purchased some movies in UHD and they look great on the Sony Bravia 3. We have another tv that is not 4K and UHD looks really weird on it. Definitely nice to have a tv that keeps up with higher resolution, and less expensive than many models. Didn't have to pay $1,000 or even twice that for all the features we wanted. Google TV Home is very convenient.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, GALib!
It is wonderful to hear that your movies are looking great on your new BRAVIA 3. We definitely understand that "weird look" you see on non-4K TVs—since those screens can't handle features like HDR or upscale the content as our BRAVIAs do, the colors can definitely end up looking a bit strange!
We’re so glad that the BRAVIA 3 is giving you all those premium features like Google TV and high-resolution playback without the premium price tag.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
