Dont connect the tv to wifi. Use external devices and it is perfect. Seeing some scenes in 4k is almost disturbing with how much emotion is conveyed

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

Sony TV was in good condition, just one small ding in the plastic around the screen. The box arrived on time (but Fed Ex did not ring the door bell; they just dropped it off on the porch...) However, although all the parts were present there were no instructions for set up. We had to go on line to find the TV on the Sony site and look through their materials to see how to set up the TV. It is now working well but set up took a few hours.

This is a solid choice for a bedroom TV. T does put have the wide viewing angle of an OLED TV, which you need for a living room so that people can watch from the side if they’re not sitting strait at it. However, this is more than sufficient for a TV that will be facing the bed.

Extremely happy with the color quality but I feel the menus are complicated for someone not accustomed to a smart TV. I haven't even started to set up many features. Some communication issues between my cable box and the TV bad enough. One day I will learn the features of this TV.

I’ve had this Sony TV now for three months. So far I’m not all that impressed. The picture quality is average at best and moving through the smart tv apps seems slow compared to my 10 year old 60” Sony Bravia using a Chromcast with Google TV. Also, the picture quality on my older Sony is noticeably better.

Hi JVRR, We are sorry to hear that the Bravia 3 did not meet your expectations when it comes to picture quality. We'd love to troubleshoot the issue and make this a better experience for you.

Also, please check if the issue also occurs on different sources such as the built-in applications (Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Etc.) and other inputs. You may also check with the picture and sound test of the TV if the picture quality of the TV shows a bad picture. Using the TV remote, please go to [Settings] — [Display & Sound] — the desired option. Please adjust the picture setting based on your preference.
May we contact you to help? If so, please email the below information to [email protected] Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.
