The Sony Bravia 3 is considered the brand’s entry-level LED smart TV, especially when compared to its high-end OLED cousins. But it still offers signature Sony picture and audio quality as well as a suite of smart features to turn your living room into the ultimate entertainment hub, just in time for the Super Bowl and 2026 Winter Olympics. And right now at Amazon, you can save $600 on the 85-inch version, bringing the price to just under $1,000.

The Bravia 3 uses an integrated sensor that monitors your room’s ambient lighting to automatically adjust screen brightness for the best viewing in almost any environment. It also supports Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound for 3D audio, creating a more immersive experience while streaming music, shows, and movies.

You’ll also get access to the Sony Pictures Core app, which offers about 100 Sony Pictures and Sony Animation titles. With 5 free Core credits included with your TV purchase, you can redeem up to 5 titles right away. And with Bluetooth connectivity, you can share media from your iOS and Android devices, stream video and music in more ways, or set up a fully wireless home audio system for the ultimate home theater setup.

How I rated this deal

Sony televisions rarely see discounts outside the holiday shopping season, and markdowns this steep are even rarer. And with a $600 discount, you’re getting an even better deal on a high-quality TV from one of the biggest names in home entertainment. That’s why I gave this deal a 4/5 Editor’s deal rating.
