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.

The worst
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.DougR August 15, 2025Review source: BestbuyI ordered the Bravia 3 open box-excellent condition because of the great price. It arrived without the two legs for the stand. Best Buy told me my only option was to box it up and return everything for a refund. I told them I didn’t want that option. Just credit me the difference between excellent and good condition and I would find the legs online. They refused. I then asked if they would contact the store it shipped from to see if they could locate the legs. Again, they said they couldn’t do that. So I paid for excellent condition which is supposed to contain all parts and received good condition-no credit from Best Buy. I won’t order from them again. They lost a customer over two plastic legs. I located them on eBay and paid that additional fee.

Second-Best Smart TV I've Owned
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product. Incentivized Incentivized review: The reviewer received a benefit for sharing feedback.GDNALK August 15, 2025Review source: BestbuyThis television is great. I’ve had mostly positive experiences with Sony’s Android TVs, and this one is no different. My only complaint about this particular TV is the “picture mode settings” that it defaults to. If I let it “setup a device” then it always ends up locking itself into the worst settings imaginable for the device. If I choose to so it manually, the TV still defaults to a greyed-out “Game” mode, meaning I have to swap the picture settings everytime I change device inputs. Other than that, this TV has been perfect.
