The Sony Bravia 3 receives mixed feedback. Many users praise its excellent picture quality, vibrant colors, and good value for the price, especially for gaming and secondary rooms. However, a significant number of reviews highlight frustrating issues with WiFi connectivity dropping, the TV turning on by itself, and smart home bugs requiring hard resets. Open-box purchases frequently arrive damaged or missing parts like stands and remotes, leading to poor customer service experiences.
