if you need hearing assisted devices
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.sony is a great tv but it does not have a headphone jack. if you use RF headphones to help you hear tv, this one will not work. i have had another sony for 12 years and it is wonderful. the old sets had headphone jacks.

Posted .HI felicia,
We are delighted that you've had such a wonderful 12-year experience with your previous Sony TV, and we understand your disappointment regarding the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack on the new 55" Class BRAVIA 3 model, as many newer TVs utilize digital-only outputs. While it does not feature an analog jack for your older RF headphones, we want to assure you that you can still connect them by using the TV's Digital Audio Output (Optical) port and connecting that to a readily available Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC); this adapter will convert the signal back to an analog format that your RF headphone transmitter can plug into. Alternatively, the new TV supports Bluetooth 5.3, allowing direct connection to modern Bluetooth hearing devices and headphones.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
Google linked TV - thumbs up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent TV in this price range
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

We're also thrilled that the HDMI eARC connection to your Denon Surround Sound amplifier is performing seamlessly and reliably.
We're delighted that you're enjoying the vibrant, detailed Ultra HD picture, and we agree that it's an outstanding value for the price.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Posted .HI MeganC,
We are pleased to hear that you are enjoying the clear picture and light uniformity of your 55-inch BRAVIA 3! You’ve highlighted one of the key benefits of this model’s Direct LED backlighting; by placing the LEDs directly behind the screen rather than just along the edges, it provides more consistent brightness across the entire panel for a much more immersive viewing experience. When combined with the 4K HDR Processor X1 and Triluminos Pro technology, it really brings out those vibrant, lifelike colors and sharp details you've noticed.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Image
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Sony TV preferred over Samsung

Solid
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a bit concerned as my last TV wasn't even a smart TV, but easy setup. Excellent picture, but sound seems a bit ... limited? It's like my treble has been turned up more than i like. I'm sure I could fix that with a soundbar. It's a solid TV for the price.

Great Bed Room TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
