Love my TV and Crutchfield

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Bought this TV for the bedroom and didn't want to spend alot of money. Pleasantly surprised with the beautiful picture! Sharp and clear! A superb value and very pleased with my purchase. I have purchased all my TV's from Crutchfield for the lifetime technical support. I needed some help during the setup and was thankful I got my TV from Crutchfield! My most strongest recommendation for anyone considering this TV.

Pros: Great picture.

Cons: None.

Smaller, but sharp

William from Two Harbors, MN on 3/24/2025

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have owned Sony electronics for 50 years and have never been disappointed with the performance or the quality. This is a small set by today's standards, but it is the perfect fit for our living room area. The picture is sharp and high definition, and the setup was straight forward and simple. I would recommend this set to anyone with a smaller space to fill but where you still want high quality. The latest sound quality has also been improved.

Trying to figure out how to add individual apps in addition to Sony / Google apps. Doesn't seem to connect with other devices via blue tooth. Still investigating.

Great picture and looks great with stand.

Kevin from Alexandria, MN on 3/12/2025

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The products arrived in a timely manner and in good condition. The TV was pretty easy to set up. Need to have your passwords ready though for all of your streaming services. Great picture. The remote could be a little larger so the buttons are easier to find. The stand is very heavy duty and looks great on the stand with the TV mounted on it. The swivel feature is sweet.

Pros: Looks great. Great picture.

Cons: Remote could be larger and easier to use.

Good, some issues

David from Houston on 2/23/2025

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Ordered this for my mom. she likes it. It has a strange issue where the picture will freeze but audio continues. Have to turn it off, then back on, to unfreeze the picture. Not sure what that's about. Happens about once or twice per week. If it keeps up, may have to return it. Other than that, it has a great Sony picture, and is relatively easy to use.

great upgrade

Thomas from Katonah, NY on 2/7/2025

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Replaced an older Samsung with a processer that couldn't even get Netflix anymore. Went with the Bravia over cheaper options, and glad I did. Beautiful picture with depth, all apps you need, very happy.

Pros: Bright, clear, sleek

Cons: Set-up takes a little work, but not horrible. Wide stand width makes a rotating lazy-susan type base difficult to use.

I like this television, however, it took me a while to adjust the picture to my liking. It's the entry level tv from Sony so I realize it's not going to give you an OLED picture quality.

Pros: Cost, good picture

Cons: Not OLED

Crutchfield customer from Washington, DC on 12/23/2024

Verified employee review (What's this?)

The built-in smart features and the interface are great to have and user-friendly with Netflix, Prime Video, Peacock, etc. I barely need to touch my streaming devices anymore compared to my older Samsung. Its responsive and makes navigating easy. The picture is crisp and sharp and the colors are rich and natural. I know I could have spent double this and gotten a "better" tv but I am very happy with this. I paired it with a SONOS beam sound bar and football watching is incredible (other programs, too).

Stunning Picture Quality and Seamless Integration

Joe from Sebastopol, CA on 12/21/2024

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The Sony BRAVIA 3 (K50S30) has been a fantastic addition to our home entertainment setup. The picture quality is absolutely beautiful and vivid, making classic movies like Lord of the Rings and cartoons for the kids look amazing. The colors are rich, and the clarity is unmatched, making everything pop on screen. It works flawlessly with our Crutchfield-designed stereo system and Sony Blu-ray player, creating a seamless viewing and listening experience. If you're looking for an affordable TV that offers great value with stunning visuals and smooth integration into your home setup, the Sony BRAVIA 3 is a perfect choice!

easy to operate, fast, and good color

David from Houston, TX on 12/18/2024

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Great color gamut, like all Sony TVs. Controls and menus are fairly easy to navigate, especially as TVs get more and more ridiculous features and menus to control them. The TV is fast and responsive. This Sony replaced a 50 inch LG TV that would ponder the meaning of life every time you changed a setting or input. Got this for my mom. She mainly watches over the air HD TV, and it works fine for her. If I was going to watch 4K movies and such, I'd probably go for a higher level Bravia. One issue I had was that the box looked like it went on an adventure by the time I got it. It had split on top and was hastily tapped together. One of the feet for the TV was missing, but in great Crutchfield fashion, they sent me a new foot, which got to me in less than a week. Overall pretty pleased.

Great picture, nearly excellent overall

Kenneth from Dedham, MA on 12/3/2024

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Picture quality is excellent. I have three Sony Bravia in the house and it is nice to have compatible remotes. Two concerns: (1) This is a Google TV and I am not a fan. I turned off as many Google TV features as possible and now am able to go (almost) directly to YouTubeTV and other streaming services; and (2) The only audio out is optical digital. There is no headphone jack nor Bluetooth that I have used with older Bravia TVs. I am ordering a Digital-Analog converter so that I can hook it to my speakers.

Pros: Picture, remote

Cons: Google TV, only one audio out option
