- Is the Sony BRAVIA 3 good for gaming?
- It handles 4K gaming at 60Hz and has a low-latency game mode, but it lacks the 120Hz panel and advanced HDMI 2.1 features of Sony's step-up models. Casual console play is fine; competitive gamers should look higher in the range.
- Does the BRAVIA 3 have local dimming?
- No. It is a direct-lit LED TV without full-array local dimming, so dark scenes show gray blacks compared with mini-LED and OLED sets.
- Which smart platform does it use?
- Google TV, with Chromecast built in, Google Assistant voice search and access to the major streaming apps. It also works with Apple AirPlay and HomeKit.
- Can I add a soundbar?
- Yes. It has an HDMI eARC port and optical output, and it pairs with Sony BRAVIA Theatre soundbars for integrated control.
- How does it compare with the BRAVIA 5?
- The BRAVIA 5 adds full-array local dimming and higher brightness for better contrast and HDR. The BRAVIA 3 is the simpler, cheaper entry point with the same Google TV platform.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, its tabletop stand legs, a remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are sold separately.
