    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.

    In my opinion this is an excellent TV. I am totally pro Sony. They have beautiful color and last. The sound isn’t the best. In my opinion, none of the new tv’s have great sound. I solved that issue by adding a Bluetooth sound bar and surround speakers. The setup was easy and the remote works nicely.

We agree that dedicated external audio enhances the experience, and it's great that you easily solved the sound with a soundbar and surround speakers. We're happy the setup was easy!

    This is our first smart TV, as my spouse is not tech savvy and wasn't interested in getting a smart TV. After several years of coaxing, I finally sold him on the benefits of a smart TV and this week we purchased this Sony Bravia. It was installed today by a fantastic Geek Squad employee and we are extremely happy with our purchase. Having a smaller home, we purchased the 55" model with a Sony Bluetooth-enabled soundbar and it's perfect for us. The images are crisp, clear and bright, and the sound quality without the soundbar was very good. Because my spouse watches mostly sports and action movies, we opted to add the soundbar for the added depth it gives to the audio, which he loves. Though we're not big streamers, tonight we test-streamed content from a few of the streaming apps we occasionally use via our cable box, and the images and sound were great. As the Geek Squad rep was going through our setup today, I saw that this TV has many features that should meet the needs of those who are frequent users of streaming services/apps. We've been Sony TV buyers for a long time and this purchase exceeded our expectations. Additionally, I wish there was a way to recognize the great service our Geek Squad rep provided today. He was so polite, professional and helpful in setting up our TV and soundbar and in explaining our new TV's features to us. He should be commended for the great job he does!

    I had a Sony Bravia 1 for several years. This time I tried an LG QLED and was disappointed in viewing angles. So I returned it for this Bravia 3. This is a much improved device over the original. Picture can be adjusted to taste and viewing angles are excellent. Also the TV connects flawlessly to my Denon Surround sound amp using HDMI eARC connection and control. This is a huge improvement over the early model because the eARC use to be unreliable on Bravia 1. This TV has a bright detailed ultra HD picture. Very good buy for the price.

    New TV with a great picture, color and overall presentation. Sony is great with it comes to visual and color. The only thing was getting used to numberless tv remote. Yes, everything is access via stream, but to have ease with switching channel- we can pick our favorites and switch with only our favs and not see all the other channels.

    I was looking to end the holiday spending spree with a new TV for my bedroom. The Bravia 3 is an entry level tv that delivers the experience I was looking for. While it is a little more expensive than some other brands, the features and build quality leave me without any complaints. Video games work very well, whether they be PC or console, and I am able to do some late night gaming without any juttering ir slow down issues. The downsides of the TV are relatively minimal. If you wanted something larger for the living room or have the money to spend on OLED, this tv would likely not suit your needs. All in all, the TV works very well for it's purposes, and I would give it a 8/10 on a good day.
