      Thank you for sharing your feedback, LindaM.

      We are sorry to hear that the picture quality of your K-55S30 television isn't performing as well in your home environment as it did in the store, and that you are having trouble with brightness adjustments.

      The lighting conditions in a retail setting are often very different from a home, and sometimes the default picture mode isn't the best fit. We want to make sure you're getting the best possible image.

      We highly recommend trying a different Picture Mode (like 'Vivid' or 'Standard') and also looking for the Ambient Light Sensor setting within the picture menu. Disabling or adjusting this setting can often give you more control to brighten the screen to your liking.

      If you continue to have trouble, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly. We are here to help you optimize the picture to your room!

      Best regards,
      Gus,

    This was the worst buying and delivery experience i have ever had. I will never purchase throuth Best Buy again. This was a Christmas gift for our daughter and granddaughter, and customer service with them is HORRIBLE. They don't call you back and they don't give you correct information on your product or delivery. They're short on help so they rely on 3rd party contractors who.don't follow through. It took nearly 3 weeks for product to be delivered and installed, and i paid alot of extra money to have it installed and set up.

    Our Sony Bravia purchased in 2017 suddenly died. Best Buy employee says to stick with the Sony. I wanted the 85k but it wasnt in stock. Easy to set up but immediately noticed three corners were bright. Only the upper left corner is black on a dark screen. Sound is good so maybe i just got a faulty tv?

    Best Buy offered $50 bonus for spending $499.99 or more TV's. It did not qualify for $50 bonus after using Best Buy certificate that falls below $499.99. It was misleading offer. By the way, this Sony TV need better selection on closed caption with bold letters.

    TV lasted less than a year

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After 11 months of ownership, the TV is going bad and needs replacement parts. Basically, the screen turns off, and red lights start flashing under the TV, which indicates that one of the internal parts has started to go bad. The TV will still work after being unplugged for a bit. This is very disappointing and very frustrating to experience with a TV that is less than a year old.

    Do not recommend. I need a TV quickly, found a big.box version of Sony. Thought it would be a wise choice, as my other Sony TV's perform flawlessly. Currently on my 2nd unit. Worked well for a few months, now I can't watch anything without the unit glitching to the point where you can watch anything. This time, the unit will randomly pause shows, drop input signals from PS5, etc. I have tested all devices on other Sony TV's, worked great. Sony did honor their warranty on the first device. It did take a couple of weeks and a couple of hours speaking with technical assistance. I'm not sure if it's even worth it to try again.

      Hi Rellim1861,

      We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your Sony BRAVIA 3. Based on the information provided, it seems that your unit is glitching, randomly pausing shows, and dropping input signals from your PS5. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

      1. Check Connections: Ensure that all cables and connections are secure and properly connected. Sometimes, loose connections can cause signal drops and glitches.

      2. Reset the TV: Perform a factory reset on the unit. This can often resolve many issues by restoring the unit to its default settings. You can find the reset instructions in the user manual or on the Sony support website.

      3. Firmware Update: Check if there is a firmware update available for your unit. Updating the firmware can fix bugs and improve performance. You can find firmware updates on the Sony support website.

      If the issue continues after trying these steps, it may be necessary to contact our product support team via phone call at 239-245-6354 or chat through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US

    Total waste of my time and money! I purchased in January 2025 and less than two months, this TV stopped working. Best Buy would not help me so I had to contact Sony directly. After satisfying Sony that the TV was not working, they agreed to ship me a new one. It’s been three weeks and I’m still waiting for the TV to arrive??
