Solid LED TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bravia 3 has a narrow niche - basic picture quality on a high-quality build that will last a long time - if that is exactly what you’re looking for, this is your best option. Once you upgrade from LED it is hard to go back to it. Lack of local dimming made for blocky blacks w/ poor contrast, but that is to be expected. Not a good choice for gaming or dark rooms. Know what you are buying - significantly better picture quality is available in higher-end Bravia models. I ended up upgrading to a Bravia 5 75” mini LED, which better matched my wants - cost twice as much, but the upgrade was worth it. In the age of $300 65” TV’s, the appliances don’t need to last very long to get your money’s worth. A Sony TV that lasts 10+ years less useful than it was a decade ago. If you don’t have $1600 to buy a Bravia 5, consider a cheaper brand w/ high picture quality rather than the $800 Bravia 3. My personal opinion, Google interface is better than the other stock options. Quick, minimal ads, simple, intuitive, smooth. Four stars as it lags in value and picture quality, commensurate w/ Sony pricing, and LED technology.

Sony 65 in
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Bravia 7 is hard to describe. It rplaced a a 12 year old Samsung. I thought there would be a big difference but this was huge! My whole family thinks the Bravia 7 was a gerat buy. The picture is great and the up scaling from DVD is very good. The Bravia is setup with a JBL 1000 sound bar (earc), after resetting the sound bar to factory settings it connected with out a glitch and the sound quality is excellent.

65” for Large Bedroom - Great Choice
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the Bravia 3 65” for a few days. I have it in a large bedroom and it looks great in a dark room for what is it. The blacks are not OLED black but still impressive for a $800 TV. The main things I like is its motion handling is terrific for a budget tv. It’s surprisingly brighter than I had expected and I lowered the max peak brightness. I also own a Sony 950H and really like the updates to the Google interface. It incorporates my streaming services nicely. I prefer it over WebOS on my LG C2 OLED. The ability to play my PS5 remotely is a nice touch as well. I don’t have to leave my bedroom to play some games if the other TVs are occupied. Overall really happy with it and I had considered and researched other budget TVs before going with the known quality Sony gives me. Fits the need perfectly.

A GOOD BUY FROM BEST BUY!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good picture and easy links to Verizon, Disney, roku and many more. Unbelievable number of options remote provides, BUT like most remotes this uses batteries and does not have a normal ;recharging stand. WHY? A stand is perfect, like for a phone, and no requirement to use it, but you will now normally know where it is! Picture on tv is sharp, and as soon as I can I will hook my ear buds up, so I can set volume as I want

We Love Sony!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony BRAVIA 3 (65") delivers a stunning 4K UHD picture with vibrant colors, deep contrast, and smooth motion, making it a great choice for movies, gaming, and sports. Powered by Google TV, it offers a seamless smart TV experience with access to streaming apps, voice control, and Chromecast built-in. The LED panel provides good brightness and clarity, though it lacks the premium OLED-level contrast. ✅ Pros: Crisp 4K UHD resolution with HDR support Google TV integration for a smooth smart experience Great motion handling for sports and gaming Sleek, modern design ❌ Cons: Lacks the deep blacks of OLED models Sound quality is decent but benefits from a soundbar Slightly pricier than some competitors in the LED category Overall, a fantastic mid-range 4K TV with smart features, perfect for everyday entertainment.
