New TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not have the TV for too long. Sound quality was great but picture was not the same as seen in the store. I was disappointed since Sony are have a good reputable name. TV was returned. Later I was told by another Store that you would have seen good picture quality if you streamed in 4K. I did not know that if I would have I would not have returned the TV. I ended up getting a Samsung QLED. Picture quality is great.

Posted .Hi there!
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It's great to hear that the sound quality hit the mark for you, even if the picture didn't quite match what you saw in the showroom before the return.
The store's later advice was spot on—streaming in native 4K is the best way to see the full potential of a Sony TV. While the BRAVIA 3 uses a powerful processor to clean up lower-resolution content, a 4K signal provides the millions of extra pixels needed for that ultra-sharp "window to the world" look you see in professional store demos.
Feedback like yours is incredibly helpful in reminding everyone that the right high-quality source makes all the difference in getting that premium cinematic feel at home.
Thank you for considering Sony!
Regards,
Dominick

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.

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.

Awesome TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using my Sony Bravia flatscreen TV for a while now, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The picture quality is outstanding, with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and crisp detail that make watching movies and shows an immersive experience. The sound is surprisingly good for a flatscreen, but it pairs perfectly with a soundbar for a full home-theater effect. The smart features are intuitive and responsive, offering easy access to streaming apps and seamless connectivity with other devices. Overall, it’s been a fantastic addition to my home setup, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance and reliability. Highly recommend!

Solid choice.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great TV, picture is clear - I like that the LED is throughout the entire screen and not just on the perimeter, makes for a better experience in general

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 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.
