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.

An excellent TV if you value Sony quality

This is an excellent TV. Sure, "on paper" it loses out to cheaper, more spec-heavy TVs from the Chinese brands (TCL, Hisense), but this TV is excellent in all the ways that makes a Sony TV great, quality. The colors on the Bravia 3 (like all Bravias) are accurate out of the box. No weird hues, or oversaturation. This TV also has Sony's XR processor which makes lower quality content look phenomenal in 4K. Go ahead and try streaming an old season of Survivor from 2010, which originally aired at 1080i, and you'll be able to see details like facial hair on people's faces. It's honestly like magic. Build quality is great too; it feels hefty and sturdy, not light, hollow and plasticky. TV review sites will give the Bravia 3 mediocre reviews because it has a direct lit panel and no local dimming zones, but honestly, if you value build quality and picture quality, this is your TV. If you wants specs for cheap, go TCL or Hisense, but if you value the Sony quality, this is a great option for the price.

Thank you for the incredibly detailed review, Alexander!
We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the Bravia 3 and that you appreciate the "Sony magic" that goes into our processing. It is wonderful to know that the XR Processor is making such a visible difference for you—there is nothing quite like seeing those fine details in classic content brought to life in 4K!
We also appreciate you highlighting our commitment to out-of-the-box color accuracy and sturdy build quality. While we know there are many options on the market, we strive to provide a premium, reliable experience that goes beyond just the spec sheet. Your breakdown of why the K-65S30 is a great value for those who prioritize picture quality and craftsmanship is incredibly valuable to the community.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your expertise!

Gus, Sony Social Media Team

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.

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

65” for Large Bedroom - Great Choice

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.

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.

Excellent TV. Our fam is primarily a Sony family. I was a bit apprehensive though at first when we looked at this Bravia because some of the reviews, (more than I’m comfortable with), gave it less than desirable reviews/scores treating it like a bottom feeder or something because of UHD. I was curious to see for myself since I’ve never had a bad experience with any of our Sony products, but also never purchased UHD. Til this day no issues and I’m pretty sure we’re good moving forward.

It doesn't have the dolby vision or the faster processor. The good thing is while you save up for the TV you really want. The video quality and structure build is very good. Make sure you buy new HDMI cables with the tv. If you use the older cables while streaming your picture will be foggy. The sound is very good! Soundbar would be better. You need to save up for a system if you want one and this TV helps!

Turned our living room into a theater. We went to Best Buy for a different 65" TV. Expected an upsell but it was fine. The advice we got was spot on. This TV is great. We generally watch from 10' away but have dinner at the back of the room (30' away) and it's great from both spots. All we used to watch was TV shows. Now we're watching a lot of movies.

Ever since I bought my first Sony Bravia tv 10 years ago, these tv's have become one of my all time favorite electronics purchases. This 65" Sony Bravia is my third tv in this series and it is amazing. The picture is so crisp and beautiful. The UI is very simple and intuitive- using the Android operating system makes this familiar easy to maneuver. The controller for this tv is smaller and quite frankly far easier to use than my last two Sony Bravia tv's and is a great improvement. As long as Sony keeps making these tv's, I will keep coming back for more.
