Is the Sony BRAVIA 3 85-inch worth it?

If you want the biggest Sony screen at the lowest price, yes. If you care about deep blacks, high brightness or 120 Hz gaming, spend more on a Mini LED or OLED set.

How does it compare with the BRAVIA 7 or 8?

The BRAVIA 7 and 8 use Mini LED backlights with local dimming, much higher brightness and 120 Hz panels. The BRAVIA 3 is dimmer, 60 Hz and has no local dimming, but costs far less per inch.

Does it support 120 Hz or VRR for gaming?

No. The panel is 60 Hz and the set lacks HDMI 2.1 and variable refresh rate, so it suits casual console play rather than competitive gaming.

The TV, its stand, a remote and the power cable. You supply the HDMI cables and any wall mount if you skip the stand.

Can I wall-mount an 85-inch TV this size?

Yes, but use a mount rated for the set's weight and a stud-finder; an 85-inch panel is heavy and needs two people to lift. The stand is included if you prefer a tabletop setup.

Large TVs like this usually drop around Black Friday, Super Bowl season and end-of-model clearance. Track the price history and buy when it sits near its low.

Our take on the Sony BRAVIA 3 85-inch 4K HDR LED Google TV

The Sony BRAVIA 3 is an 85-inch 4K HDR LED Google TV, Sony's entry-level big-screen model for the 2024 lineup. It runs Google TV with Google Assistant built in, has four HDMI ports, and uses a direct-lit LED panel with a 60 Hz refresh rate. The 85-inch size is the draw here: it puts a Sony badge on a very large screen at a price well below Sony's Mini LED and OLED sets.
