I recently picked up the Sony 65” BRAVIA 3 LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2024), and overall, I’m really happy with it. As always, Sony delivers on build quality and picture clarity, and this TV feels like a solid upgrade for my living room.
What I Like (Pros)
• Picture Quality: The colors are sharp and natural, and upscaling works great for non-4K content. It makes everyday watching (news, streaming, sports) very enjoyable.
• Google TV Interface: Super smooth and easy to navigate. All the apps I use are right there, and voice control with Google Assistant is a nice bonus.
• Sound: Surprisingly decent for a flat TV — clear dialogue and balanced audio, even without a soundbar (though pairing it with Sony’s theatre setup makes it even better).
• Value for Price: For the size and features, it’s a great buy without jumping into the super high-end range.
Things to Improve (Cons)
• Blacks & Contrast: In darker scenes, the blacks look more gray than deep black. It’s noticeable when watching movies at night.
• HDR Performance: HDR is okay but not mind-blowing. Brightness could be better to make highlights really stand out.
• Gaming Features: Fine for casual gaming, but it doesn’t have 120Hz or VRR. Serious gamers might miss those.
Overall
If you want a large, reliable 4K TV with great color and a smooth smart interface, this is a fantastic choice. It’s not perfect for hardcore movie nights in pitch-dark rooms or advanced gaming, but for everyday use, streaming, and family viewing, I’m really enjoying it. Another solid product from Sony.

Stunning Picture and Smart Features – Sony Bravia

So I picked up the Sony Bravia 3 65” from Best Buy after convincing myself that yes, I do need a TV bigger than most LA apartments—and wow, no regrets. This thing is gorgeous.
Picture:
The image quality? Chef’s kiss. Everything is super crisp, colors pop like crazy, and it handles dark scenes like a pro. I turned on a nature doc and suddenly felt like I needed to start recycling more. Even my dog got confused by how real the animals looked.
Sound:
Surprisingly solid sound for something this thin. I expected to have to buy a soundbar immediately, but I’m holding off for now. The speakers get loud without sounding like a tin can with a megaphone.
Smart Stuff:
Google TV is snappy and easy to use—plus, it has all the apps I actually care about. I was watching Netflix within 5 minutes of plugging it in. Also, being able to yell at the remote and have it find my shows? Peak laziness. I love it.
Gaming:
I hooked up my PS5 and it’s a dream. Smooth, no lag, and everything looks stupidly good. I actually started losing because I was too busy admiring the graphics. Worth it.
Final Thoughts:
This TV made my old one feel like a toaster. If you’re on the fence—jump off and go get it. It’s sleek, smart, and probably the best 65” you can get without selling an organ.

The picture quality is excellent for the price. Very easy to set up. Google tv and apple tv built in saves a step to watch your favorite shows and movies. But i cannot get this tv to stay connected to my WiFi. Have spent endless hours online researching, tried all suggested steps and eventually, the disconnected notification shows up on the top right of the screen. This drives me crazy!! Im not sure if it needs to be replaced, or of theres a fix available. If anyone can help, please do!!

Seems great, so far and has great picture quality. Setup is pretty straightforward, though I think the intercace could be a bit better. My biggest, and only real gripe, is woth the remote. I understand wanting to try and simplify things, but they went a bit too far on this one. It is a bit confusing and lacks some basic functions that shouldn't be missing. Otherwise, nice TV.

Sony Bravia is a quality picture, we went from 55" to 65". The Sony was easy to adhere to the wall. Sony gave us a 5 year warranty, not sure if that was a promo or all time. I just know i had to have proof of purchase and within 90 days. Please with our purchase and quality.

Hello darlyn63,
Thank you for choosing Sony!
It's great to hear that you're enjoying your K65S30 TV and the upgrade to a larger screen! Taking advantage of the 5-year warranty promotion with your proof of purchase was a wise decision—this level of coverage is not always standard, as the typical warranty is only for one year. You've truly made the most of a fantastic offer. Thank you for sharing your experience and your appreciation for the picture quality!

I absolutely love this TV! It was a fantastic upgrade from my Roku, and it looks stunning in my living room. The sound quality is incredible—no need for a soundbar! However, the Presidents’ Day sale was an offer I couldn’t pass up, and the savings were perfect to add a soundbar with a subwoofer. Highly recommend!

Sadly it is slow when you do any buttons on the remote. Entering a new menu freezes the TV and no button presses work until a few seconds have passed. Then once in the menu it does fine but will pause briefly during presses. Overall, the picture is fantastic but even after the 1.2 GB update it is still slow to respond.

Hello TomM, thank you for the five-star rating! We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying your BRAVIA 3! The vibrant colors and deep blacks are made possible by its 4K HDR Processor X1™, which intelligently enhances every scene in real-time. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the remote control and will take it into consideration for future releases, It's good to know you're using the previous one instead as it adapts better to your needs. Thank you for always choosing Sony! Best regards, Jenn.

We purchased our Sony 65” Class Bravia 3 LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV on Tuesday September 3, It was delivered early on Saturday September 7, we hung it, and set it up ourselves, and we were watching it that evening! We’re very happy with our purchase, and very happy with the sales representative Nick! No regrets!
