Perfect Mid Range Tv
**Review of the Sony Bravia 3 50-Inch TV**The Sony Bravia 3 50-inch TV delivers exceptional performance, offering a perfect balance between quality, features, and price. Right out of the box, the design stands outâsleek, modern, and minimalist, with slim bezels that make it look even more premium than its price suggests. The 50-inch display is ideal for mid-sized rooms, providing an immersive viewing experience without being overwhelming.**Picture Quality:**The Bravia 3 shines in terms of picture quality, with vibrant colors and sharp, crisp details. The 4K resolution ensures that movies, sports, and games come to life, while Sonyâs proprietary technology, like the HDR support, brings out deep blacks and bright highlights. The display has excellent contrast, and the upscaling technology works impressively for HD content, making older shows and movies look far sharper and more defined.**Sound Quality:**The sound quality is solid for a flat-screen TV, with clear dialogue and rich audio. Though not quite as immersive as high-end soundbars or home theater setups, itâs more than adequate for day-to-day viewing. If you’re looking for room-filling sound, a dedicated sound system would enhance the experience, but for most viewers, the built-in speakers get the job done.**Smart Features:**Running on Google TV, the Bravia 3 offers seamless integration with popular apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+, as well as voice control via Google Assistant. The interface is responsive and intuitive, and navigating through apps or settings is smooth. Additionally, it supports Google Cast, making it easy to stream content from your phone or tablet to the TV.**Build and Durability:**Sonyâs build quality is top-notch, with a sturdy frame and solid stand that keeps the TV stable. The TV is not overly heavy, so wall-mounting is an option if preferred. The construction feels robust, and it has a premium look and feel that matches the quality of the display.—**Shipment and Packaging:**When the Sony Bravia 3 arrived, I was immediately impressed by how well it was packaged. The shipping box was large and sturdy, with a layer of reinforced padding around the TV to prevent any damage during transit. Inside, the TV was securely cradled in custom foam cutouts that held it in place, ensuring there was no shifting during handling. The box also included clear instructions for unboxing and setup, which made the process easy and straightforward.The TV itself was wrapped in a protective plastic film to guard against scratches, and there were no dents or signs of mishandling. All of the accessoriesâremote control, power cables, and stand componentsâwere neatly organized in separate compartments inside the box, making it easy to find everything you need for assembly.Overall, the packaging exceeded expectations, providing peace of mind that the TV would arrive safely and without issue.**Conclusion:**The Sony Bravia 3 50-inch TV offers stunning picture quality, reliable performance, and a solid build, all within a reasonable price range. Paired with its excellent packaging and smooth shipping experience, itâs a standout option for anyone in the market for a new TV. Whether for casual TV watching, gaming, or streaming, it delivers on all fronts and is well worth considering.

Good value excellent features
Easy out of the box set-up. Hung on wall, powered up, connected WiFi, auto update ran to upgrade soft code. Took about 25 minutes and set was ready to roll. Great picture decent sound. Nice UI, typical Sony, our 3rd in 12 years. Other 2 still going strong, this 65 in master bedroom. Put Sony 3K HTA wireless sound bar and SA SW3 Subwoofer. Definite upgrade to the onboard audio. Amazon, Netflix, Google TV, all streaming apps there. Good value for price point. Would recommend.

Great upgrade over dated samsung TV
My in-laws needed a new TV for a reasonable price, and this fits the bill hands-down.Picture is vibrant and colorful. Setup takes a bit long, it more than likely will do a firmware update, so hopefully you are not in a rush. It is pretty straightforward though and it has easy to follow-along steps. Picture brightness can easily be adjusted with the built-in presets.To take advantage of all the Smart-TV functions, you’ll need a google account or a gmail account. It integrates you youtube history as an added easy-access benefit too.

Great TV. (sometimes has bad input lag).
*EDIT: I’m using a windows pc and the recommended resolution is what it defaulted to (3840×2160). Running at THAT resolution is what caused the terrible input lag, but setting it to 4096×2160 fixes it and gets rid of the input lag.4096×2160 is slightly narrower than 16:9 and does lead to thin black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, but that doesn’t bother me too much; I’m just glad I’ve fixed the input lag. I guess this tv just takes issue with 3840×2160. I don’t own a ps5 or xbox so I can’t test it with a regular game console, unfortunately. I don’t know if modern game consoles let you set their resolution, but if they can’t, this might be an issue.—original review:I wouldn’t buy this for gaming. The input lag has got to be around half a second (500 milliseconds). It feels horrible after using a computer monitor. That is, of course, after putting in it gaming mode. Without that, the input lag is seriously over a second. It’s comically bad.The picture quality is good; probably a great option for watching movies and other normal TV stuff, but awful for gaming.

Buggy, glitchy, with random video problems.
We just bought the Bravia 3 (50″) and it’s been very laggy, buggy, and has video and color issues that have required us to to a reboot, several times in the last 3 days, to rectify it.We bought the Bravia 3 to replace our 50″ X80K (2022 model) and we thought it would be an upgrade.We were very wrong.The Bravia is very laggy. Sometimes, pressing the volume on the remove has about a one-second delay before the volume level appears on the bottom of the screen. Wow.Menu navigation is also laggy, making it a real pain to navigate.Yesterday, the screen suddenly became overly bright, with over-saturated colors. Nothing we tried (even doing a factor default reset) fixed the problem. The only thing that fixed it was unplugging the TV.We are returning it to Amazon. Please buy a different model. The Bravia 3 has problems.Yeesh… not 30 minutes after posting this review, it randomly booted my out of YouTube TV, in the middle of the Mavericks/Thunder playoff game. This is the worst TV we’ve ever bought.I’ve added photos of some of the horrible problems, juxtaposed to how they should look (when the TV’s screen is not malfunctioning).

The Colours are Amazing. So many different Vibrant Colours! The Playstation 5 Experience is Great! The Sound is Great too! It is so enjoyable watching a movie or playing Playstation 5. And it is so big!For some reason it is still showing as undelivered but it was delivered the very next day. Incredibly fast delivery! And the men who delivered it were very professional and polite.

Es una televisión cuya calidad de imagen es muy buena desde cualquier ángulo. La caracterÃstica de movie vision le da una realidad adicional al 4K. Muy buen producto.
