Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the High Quality vivid color it gives , I like how easy it is to use and how well beef’ed up it’s manufactured. The only downside is you have to have a solid good Internet connection or it will lag and freeze up a lot .

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.

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.

I wanted to replace a twelve-year-old Samsung 40" Smart UHD TV with something that has newer screen technology and smart features. I have not been disappointed with my new SONY. The screen is bright; colors are rich and vibrant. The home screen gives access to all the streaming apps and other smart features. Included with the purchase is the SONY Pictures Core app, with 5 free and many other included movies. This TV doesn't have a NextGen tuner (ATSC 3.0) built in, so I am using an outboard tuner/DVR for those signals. Watching "The Americas" in full HD and HDR (High Definition and High Dynamic Range) is an excellent demonstration of the picture quality. The TV sound is good and has a range of adjustment options but not comparable to listening with a soundbar or multichannel audio system. For most, this TV will be an excellent choice for a small living room or family room, with seating under 15 feet from the screen. I am really happy with this purchase which was an open box item and marked down substantially from the retail price.

Took a while to get used to the menu and settings and still trying to figure out how to easily change the OTA channels. A number pad would help. Sound Bar and Internet were very easy to setup. I prefer a TV with natural color and don't want to spend a lot of time making adjustments trying to get it just right. After reading many reviews for a 43 inch TV, the Bravia 3 had several comments about out of the box color being very good. Not only is the color amazingly good, the picture quality is superb. Fast action is smooth. All images and videos are lifelike and have incredible detail. I left it on Standard Mode and Cool temperature. I am very happy with this purchase. It was an open box, but it was just like brand new. GaryP

I love the new Sony Bravia 3! It’s sound quality and picture quality are awesome and the ease of use!

After my Samsung gave out in under two years, I decided to switch things up and go with the Sony Bravia 3—and honestly, I’m SO glad I did! Right out of the box, the setup was quick and painless. The picture quality is noticeably better- I especially see a major difference when watching sports! The motion is smooth, the colors are more natural, and everything just looks crisp, especially in 4K.

Picture quality is excellent. Home Screen is easy to navigate, and we have yet to have any issues with finding and using our favorite streaming apps. It also works great for playing Nintendo Switch. Thus far, we are very pleased with our purchase!

Beautiful colors, easy control via remote, phone and voice. My daughter loves it. The image on SONY is more realistic than in real life ))))

Perfect size for our TV room. Quality of picture is sharp and clear at night or with daylight. Sound is good didn't need the sound bar. SONY everyday!!

Great picture, replaced a 23 year old TV. Had to convince my husband it was time for a new one.Replaced a 23 in. and it fit in the TV cabinet. What a picture!! He loves it.

Good quality product. Easy installation, everything is in the box

My wife and I really love this TV we enjoy the sound and picture quality

Picture is perfect! Love to set. Perfect set for a small space and with the sound bar, the sound is great too!

Great picture. Everything my wife and I are looking for.

A nice solid budget TV from Sony. You definitely could get a bigger TV for cheaper from other brands but the build quality and interface UI is very smooth.

I love the Sony TV and Best Buy offered me out at a discount price. I saved $100 I have a Best Buy credit card so they also gave me a $25 gift card which I appreciate. Thank you.

I bought four TVs before settling on this TV. I first got a LG oled which I didn’t like. The motion on it gave me a headache. Then I got a Samsung QLED and Neo QLED. I couldn’t get the picture to look right for movies on both TVs and the Neo QLED was way bright. Watched a movie on the Sony Bravia 3 at the demo room at Best Buy while in professional picture mode and decided on this TV. Tested a few movies at home and they all looked really good in professional mode. Sports look great also. The downside was I had to tweak a few settings to get the TV to work right especially when turning off the TV it would want to restart . Upon buying the TV I had to download the firmware which took about an hour before I could even start using the TV. Also there is no app as far as I know that works with the TV. And there were a few other settings that I had to tweak.

The picture quality is what you would expect from a Sony Bravia-excellent. As it is at the lower end of the Bravia line, it does not have all of the bells and whistles that more expensive models in this series have but it has a good quality picture and sound for a smaller room and gives you access to streaming apps through Google. The remote is the one feature that is only adequate. It is very small & while this may be a minor issue, it could be a problem for someone who has dexterity issues as the buttons are very close together. Because of its size, functions are not labelled on the remote. This might also be a challenge for someone who is not used to having to memorize what symbol controls what functions. And, of course, there is no longer any paper instruction manual/quick guide included to describe the functions on the remote so identifying buttons other than volume,channel & power, is a trial and error exercise. However, the remote issue aside,overall, it is an excellent, solid Smart 4K TV from a reliable company at a reasonable price.

I have always bought Sony TVs and i feel they are worth the extra money. this is the first TV larger than 32 in i have bought. its 42 inches. it is a 4K , Bravia 3 TV. unfortunately the cable is only 1080. as a result the picture is not as perfectly clear as it was on my 32 in SONY TV. Streaming is 4K and is not better on the 42 in than it was on 32 in TV. oddly the closer to the 42 in TV you are, the clearer it is. the film on the surface of the new TV gives a very slightly soft quality to the picture. Set up was a pain. Its a google (android) TV for streaming. i am on apple smart phone. My previous streaming service was amazon firestick. i decided to stay with fire stick for streaming which is no problem. there are multiple HDMI ports on the TV. Getting cable to work on the new TV was a challenge but that was due to the awful Spectrum service, not the sony TV, Overall i am happy with the TV. it is not the top of the line sony which costs at least $2000. this TV was only $500 which i thought was a decent price. there are cheaper 42 in TVs on the market, but not a sony.
