Get This Price

The BRAVIA 3 does not chase the flagship Bravia 9 tier, and it does not need to. For just $998, down from its list price of $1599.99, you get a genuine Sony picture processor, Triluminos Pro color, and a Google TV interface that pulls Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and YouTube into one home screen. The all-time low sits at $899.99, so this is not the cheapest the set has ever been, but it is the first time in recent months it has landed under four figures.

What You're Getting

- 85-inch 4K UHD LED panel with HDR support and Triluminos Pro for over a billion accurate colors.

- Google Assistant voice control built in, so you can search and launch content hands-free.

- Google TV streaming hub with Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube access.

- Sony Pictures Core app streams high-bitrate 4K UHD movies.

- PlayStation 5 optimized with Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode for better gaming picture.

- Ideal viewing distance of about 15 feet for that 85-inch screen.

Who This Is For

Best for anyone outfitting a large living room, a home theater, or a media room who wants a massive 4K panel without paying flagship money. It is also a strong pick for PS5 owners who want a set that auto-tunes HDR and picture modes for their console.

If you already own a mid-size 4K TV and are happy with it, hold off, but if you are moving into a bigger space or upgrading a dated panel. This is the buy.

The Caveat

This is an LED panel, not OLED or mini-LED, so contrast in a pitch-black room will not match Sony's higher-end Bravia lines. The all-time low of $899.99 also means patient shoppers have seen it cheaper during past sales events.
