Pros & Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Picture Quality: Users consistently praise the sharp 4K resolution, vibrant yet natural colors, and the ability of the X1 processor to upscale older, lower-resolution content with impressive clarity.
- Strong Value for Money: Many reviewers highlight that this model provides the premium build quality and performance expected from the brand at a much more affordable price than high-end OLED models.
- Intuitive Google TV Interface: The smart TV platform is frequently described as snappy and easy to navigate, offering seamless integration with popular streaming apps and effective voice control via Google Assistant.
Cons
- Frequent Software Freezing: A recurring issue among users is the TV's tendency to freeze or become unresponsive, often requiring the unit to be physically unplugged and restarted to restore functionality.
- Poor Remote Control Design: The included remote is widely criticized for being too small, lacking a numeric keypad for direct channel entry, and having no backlighting for visibility in dark rooms.
- Unreliable Wi-Fi Connectivity: Multiple customers reported that the TV frequently drops its wireless connection or fails to find networks entirely, necessitating frequent network resets or hard reboots.
Customer Fit
- Primary audience: People using this model as the main living room TV praise the large screen sizes (65–85"), theater-like feel, strong color, and clear dialogue for sports, movies, and everyday shows from across the room.
- Secondary audience: Many buyers explicitly installed the 50–65" sizes in bedrooms and liked that it’s easy to mount, sounds good without a soundbar, and is quick to get streaming.
- Ideal scenarios: Reviewers say PS5 gameplay “looks great” and input lag feels low for casual gaming, but competitive players wanting 120Hz/VRR or simultaneous 4K+HDR may be disappointed.

Junk!
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Mark C. October 17, 2024Review source: AmazonJunk junk junk. Not the same quality as in older Sony products. About every 4 weeks, have to unplug it for ten minutes or so, plug it back in, just to get it to turn on. And it always turns on the DVD player on its own. Can’t figure out how to stop that. Sony=junk. Stay away from this one!!

If you want have most of your apps inoperable, have to constantly update and restart over and over and over, buy this tv, you won’t be disappointed. What you can expect is not to be able to stream anything whatsoever, you won’t be able to use apps and you won’t be able to use anything apple or google! If you don’t believe me buy it. I willnever ever buy anything from best buy or sony again in my lifetime!

Love Sony Bravia. Do NOT LOVE built-in Google.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.SusanM October 13, 2024Review source: BestbuyThe quality of the picture is excellent. However, I did not realize getting a Google enabled TV would take over my entire life. It is now encroaching on my phone and every aspect of my TV experience. If I could return the two that I purchased and get great quality as Sony Bravia provides without built-in Google I certainly would.

Best tv I've ever purchased.
Dom Acciardo October 12, 2024Review source: AmazonThis Sony Bravia 3 4k Smart tv is awesome! You can control the features to fit your viewing preference. Color is brilliant. Viewing from the side is the same as viewing from the front. Best tv I’ve ever purchased. (There is an automatic download update before you can start viewing the tv, takes about 30 minutes depending on your internet speed.)

Customer service was awesome. We had two young men helping us, one a Best Buy employee and the other a Sony rep. They answered all our questions, and we had many. Never once did they act as though we were asking stupid questions. We appreciated their patience with two elderly people who don’t fully understand today’s technology. Great experience! Thanks guys!
