Customer Ratings & Reviews

Well, my 18 year old, 65 pound Sharp Aquos with 29 (I counted) jacks on the back finally passed away. It had a good picture, great onboard sound and it didn't owe me anything. It was a good soldier. Being a bit of a tightwad, my first stop was to my members club where I grabbed a 55 inch Vizio Quantum QLED. For $350 it sounds great right? It wasn't. Picture and color were substandard and hours of adjustments couldn't make it acceptable. The onboard sound? Think giant walkie-talkie. Back it went. Then I grabbed a Samsung at the same price point and it wasn't much different. Back it went. My point here is that at this price point for about $200 bucks more you can have a huge upgrade in quality with this unit. Right out of the box the color and picture quality were night and day. A two minute tweak to the brightness and saturation and it was perfect. I think it's established that in the age of super thin flat panels onboard sound is never really great, unless maybe if you're spending thousands on a TV. I'll never know. I will say there was a very noticeable improvement in depth with the Sony over the Vizio and Samsung. Again, the picture is excellent. Setup was a breeze. The operating system is smooth, sensible, & streamlined. It probably took me about 15 minutes to run through all the menus and have a firm grasp on how to navigate everything the TV does. The Bluetooth works great with my old Polk soundbar. There are some complaints in the reviews about connectivity and lag. I have seen none of that. You have to think a large percentage of these people simply have crappy wi-fi. So if you are like me and are shopping in the lower-ish price point, take my advice and spend few bucks more and go with the Sony Bravia 3. you'll probably save yourself a lot of headache and disappointment. (Full disclosure .... I've had it less than a week, but will update with any problems ... but I'm not expecting that.)

Very good I feel Sony is a good long lasting brand of tv and when I found this tv I was sooo excited it was on sale I already felt I was going to be making a good choice and im so happy I did the brightness on this tv is great Was easy to mount Beautiful picture Sleek remote Love love love would purchase again and i highly recommend

It's amazing that we can get such high quality for such an inexpensive price these days. This TV is fantastic. Amazing picture. Super easy setup. Has digital audio out to easily add a sound bar, but the speakers are already so good (compared to my last tv) that I'm not sure I even need the soundbar anymore. Overall - couldn't be happier.

I have owned low end, mid range, and higher end TVs over the years. Tried them all Samsung, LG and Sony… This Bravia 3 in the 55 inch for the price is hard to beat. No, it doesn’t have OLED/Mini LED etc, nor is it 120hz. What it does offer for just a bit over $500 is a nice bright picture, surprisingly good PS5 performance (important as I game casually) and awesome upscaling of DVD/480, Blu-ray/1080 and standard Dish Network/1080 satellite. By the way 4K/HDR content from my Sony X700 4K Blu-ray player is good as well, not as good as the double the price Sony X90K we have but for the money very respectable. The speakers are as with all TVs are just OK. I have a dedicated Denon 570BT 8K AVR driving Bose Acoustimass 5 Series V speakers so I don’t really need great built speakers. If you want a solid, not over priced mid-range TV from a quality brand like Sony you can’t go wrong. It is a perfect basement living area TV. In fact I also have a 43 inch version in a bedroom!

This is the best tv. The colors are fantastic. Red and green are very vibrant, edges are sharp. I don't want to watch any other TV. Also, set up was a breeze for a non tech person. I would definitely buy this TV again and recommend it to others.

I upgraded to this Bravia from an Insignia. The Insignia was a good price but it had some issues with color banding and bloom. This Bravia has neither of those issues. Set up is easy if a bit lengthy. As an Android user, I don't mind the Google OS but I opted out of everything that was optional. I figure they already have enough info about me. The sound is good for tv speakers but I'm using a soundbar. My only issue was that Prime and Netflix movies wouldn’t play one day. I unplugged the TV for about 10 minutes and that resolved the problem. I hope that doesn’t become a regular issue. Overall I am very happy with this tv.

I bought a larger tv for my home and this one for my vacation home. I do like the google linked sony TV's in that you have all of your viewing information in one place. I also have basically the same TV in each home which is good for being able to operate it. I had Best Buy set it up for me so that was smooth sailing. The only thin with this smaller TV is that the remote does not light up when you pick it up. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase and would but it again.

I love Sony's tvs always easy to set up and great quality.

Great tv. I’ve been searching for a tv for my loft and tried several brands but always come back to Sony. Really like this 65 inch screen it works great in the space. I bought the 85 inch about a year and a half ago and really love it in my living. Very sharp picture. So BB had two 65 inch tv’s left at the store (2023 model) so it was a no brainer to get it because the price was less than the 55 inch model. Almost 1800 reviews at a 4.8 rating. If this model is still out there….GET IT!!!!$

We are very happy with our new TV! We’ve always been happy with Sony products! Their quality has always been top notch and reliable. The picture is vivid and clear. The colors are amazing. We were very pleased with the sale price. Delivery was quick and efficient: no damage. My only negative was I obviously misunderstood that delivery wouldn’t take it out of the box. My husband was very ill, and I’m a senior. I wanted to make sure that the TV wasn’t damaged. However, I would highly recommend this TV! We still have to learn all the functions of the “smart system”, but that should be fun (I hope)!

Excellent value and impressive performance. I bought it because of the blue USB3 port (unique to Sony). With a USB3/Gbit adapter, I now have a wired Gbit ethernet connection that fully utilizes my 600 Mbps Internet service. The regular ethernet port, standard on all current TVs, is only good for 100 Mbps. Super streaming!

Great screen. Vibrant colors. Amazing definition. Love the sounds. I had it for a few months now and it works perfectly.

Very nice TV for the price. Well packaged and very easy set up. Settings out of the box are fine. High quality from a great brand at a reasonable price

The Sony was the best TV purchase. Great color and vivid picture

This TV gives me a sharp picture and beautiful color, but the real plus was the service I received. The sales person who helped me knew the products and was able to explain the pros and cons of each. All my questions were answered with patience. The delivery and installation was flawless—and tidy. The technicians did not leave until I had a clear understanding re: how the TV worked. They were patient and explained everything to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Best Buy for their outstanding customer service.

This was an unexpected purchase when our 4 year old Samsung 52” Smart TV zonked out without warning. Off to Best Buy we went. A replacement Samsung tv would have set us back $350 compared to the Sony at well over $550, but our aging Sony in the family room has been super reliable with great picture for 10 or more years, so the choice was easy. The new Sony TV has a nice bright picture and while synchronizing the cable remote was a 5 step process, we seem to have it dialed in. TV is used for cable programming and streaming with no issues hooking up to Apple TV

Replaced an older Sony 55 inch with the new Bravia 3 55 inch. Definite improvement in picture quality, especially color and crispness of picture. Sound quality is better as well. While some find the remote difficult to use I find the brevity of the controls actually easier and more intuitive than the older remotes with more buttons. Access to setup and options menus easier as well. In addition this model has sound settings and controls, like an equalizer, that help tailor the sound to the environment better. Would recommend this tv without hesitation.

sharp picture with vivid colors. Easy set up as well

Are there other tvs that are brighter? Yes. Are there other tvs that have deeper blacks? Yes. Are there other tvs with better image processing? I dont think so. Look, if you want a punchy bright vibrant tv get a samsung or tcl. If you want actually great PICTURE QUALITY with crazy good upscaling, get this tv. I walked in ready to buy a tcl qmk6, but the sales rep swayed me to this. No crazy over saturation and really great visual more akin to how directors intended content to be seen. Only negative is slight blooming in really dark scenes but really zero regrets with legendary sony quality.

I ordered the TV online after reviewing several TVs that were listed on the website. The delivery was free and on time. The delivery personnel were polite and professional. I am not a tech professional, but the setup was very easy. The picture is so clear and the colors are vivid!! I would definitely recommend this TV.
