Very Impressed
I’ve really enjoyed the x90L that I bought last year, so decided to give this one a chance as a secondary, bedroom tv. Was a little concerned with low contrast ratings in reviews, but don’t see much difference from the x90L. Nothing that bothers me anyway. Blacks seem nice and dark. Maybe they lack detail in comparison? At any rate, most impressive is that it has similarly wonderful color as the x90L to my eyes. Put picture mode to professional, contrast to 90, gamma to 0 or higher, other settings tweak to taste, and the image is fantastic. After a couple of days, had to unplug for a minute as tv was unresponsive. Hopefully not a sign of things to come, but had to do a couple of resets for the x90L early and haven’t had issues with it since. Volume is a little laggy and skips levels, but ok. Menu navigation more laggy than x90L, but good enough that I’ll be fine if not adding a streaming box. Didn’t give the sound much of a chance before hooking up an ht-s2000 bar. Tv/sound bar hook up sync up very well.

Happy with my Smart Google TV Sony Bravia 3!
I replaced my 13 year old Sony 43” TV with the Bravia 3 because I “cut the cable” and wanted a Smart TV. This TV has excellent color and sharpness and as an added plus, Google TV is included. The setup was so easy as the step by step instructions are clear and concise. If by some chance you make an error in the setup, Google TV makes easy to get back on track. I have the TV connected to a Samsung sound bar and the Google TV made connecting that device easy as well. All in all, I am very pleased with my Bravia 3 and any extra cost incurred over lessor brands is well worth the expense.
