What Buyers Say
Sony BRAVIA BZ30J 32"
The Sony 32-inch 4K TV receives mixed reviews, with many praising its excellent picture quality, vibrant colors, and deep blacks for gaming, but some criticize the washed-out look and poor viewing angles. A major point of contention is the remote control: the included one lacks a microphone, making Google Assistant inaccessible without a separate $65 purchase. The operating system is also debated, with some calling it Android TV rather than Google TV, though others confirm it is Google's Android OS. Overall, it is seen as a great monitor or secondary TV for 4K streaming and gaming, but not ideal as a primary TV due to sound and tuner limitations.

- Crisp and clear display for monitors
Cons
- Missing microphone on remote control
