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

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.
