I put the Sony Bravia 3 II through its paces — and it's an easy recommendation under $1,000
The Sony Bravia 3 II impresses with vibrant, detail-rich images in well-lit rooms, thanks to Sony's excellent image processing. The TV also sports flagship-level features like multiple HDMI 2.1 ports and both VRR and ALLM support.
Choosing a new TV isn't an easy decision during these hard financial times. Fortunately, Sony has a mid-range option that stands out from the crowd - the Bravia 3 II. Positioned above the entry-level Bravia 2 II and replacing the Bravia 3, this mid-tier LED TV offers excellent picture processing at a mid-range price point starting around $900.
After thoroughly testing the Bravia 3 II in our New York City lab, it's clear that this TV is a great pick for those who plan on using it for daytime viewing in a living room setting. However, for those who prefer nighttime viewing or have a dedicated, lighting-controlled space like a home theater, Sony's other high-end models like the Bravia 9 II might be more suitable.
The Bravia 3 II is priced starting at $569 for a 43-inch model, with the 65-inch version we tested available for $849 (MSRP $899) or on sale for $849. Prices rise for larger sizes, with the 100-inch model hitting $3,099 (sale $1,999). While these prices are more expensive than competitors, the Bravia 3 II still offers superior picture processing compared to other brands, making it a worthwhile investment despite its higher price tag.
