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.

Loving my Bravia
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this tv so far. It had the best looking display (in my opinion) when I saw it in-store. I really hate how plasma screen tvs (?) lose their brightness and vibrance if you’re not standing directly in front of them. The picture is equally bright and clear from any angle. The speakers leave a lot to be desired, but I intend on getting a sound system soon.

Its a Sony Bravia
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a Sony Bravia, so yea, it's a great TV. It looks great out of the box, and the settings allow you to turn off all the atrocious upscaling 'features' fairly quickly. I have it wall mounted in the bedroom, so I do not have any external soundbars or speakers attached, and the sound out of the TV is more than adequate for my use. The Google TV interface is hot garbage, but so is every smart TV interface on the planet. So it's standard hot garbage. All in all it is exactly what I paid for and I have zero regrets purchasing it.

Best 4k tv 2024
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I always own Sony TVs. Once my old tv broke. I decided to give samsung a try. I like it at the beginning but the software and constant freezing or lag on its software made me change back to sony. This tv has it all. And its super easy to work your way around the software from Google. I personally think its a lot cleaner.

Great tv for a great price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always been a fan of Sony products and this TV is another great product. The 55' screen is great in my smallish living room. It was easy to connect to my sound system. It is my first 'smart' tv and I had no trouble connecting it to my Google account and watching all the shows on my PBS Passport. My previous tv was an early Bravia from Sony, still working great and I expect this TV will be every bit as good or better.

Great tv for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this TV to replace a 15 year old Bravia XBR. Had planned on moving the XBR into the bedroom, and purchased a larger TV to set up a dedicated TV room. Havent had time to set up the TV room yet, so this has been the primary TV for the house. The specs are slightly lower than the old XBR, but it looks FANTASTIC to me! It cost about 1/4 as much as well. Unless you’re a super picky AV connoisseur, I’d 100% recommend this TV.
