I was happy with my old 55 inch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this 55 inch Sony to replace my old 55 inch Sony which finally decided to stop working. Picture is comparable to my old one, I'd have to do a side by side comparison to really tell, but it's not working. The reception isn't as good as my old TV, I suppose it's because most people have cable or satellite now days and Sony cheapened up in that area. I'm not happy that you have to buy another remote control if you want one with numbers on it.

We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the great picture quality of your K-55S30 for your movie nights and binge-watching sessions.

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.

Setting up Youtube TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am having problems setting up youtube tv on this tv. I have 3 other Sony Bravia Google TV's but for some reason I can't get this one setup. My remote control stopped working and I could not turn the tv off. I finally had to unplug the tv from the outlet. As of this review it is still unplugged.

Posted .Hi RandyB, Thanks for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your remote controller and with the YouTubeTV app. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have.
Kindly check the link below. There are steps you can perform to resolve the issue with the YoutubeTV app.
As for the remote, make sure that it has fresh new batteries and there should be nothing blocking the lower part of the TV.

Hope this helps.

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.

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
||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.

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
