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.

    I purchased this TV to replace a previous TV whose backlight had failed. The picture and sound quality are excellent. I watch TV through both an HDMI satellite box as well as through several streaming services. When I watch older shows that predate HD by decades, I’m impressed by just how clear the engine upscales the images. I made a few extra tweaks of my own on top of those settings, and everything looks even better.

    I subtract two stars because this TV doesn’t support wi-fi direct display mirroring for Windows laptops. The much cheaper TV this one replaced had that feature. I hope Sony rolls this out at some point through firmware. If they do, this will be a perfect TV.

  6. 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.
