BRAVIA 3 LED 4K HDR Smart Google TV
Delivery between Jun 15 – 26 $16.49
Sony's flagship MASTER Series OLED is consistently one of the most highly rated TVs available. And yet somehow they improve it every year. For 2023, they've enhanced their already-great OLED panel with a Quantum Dot layer for improved color volume. Powered by Sony's XR Triluminos Max technology, the BRAVIA XR-77A95L delivers incredibly vibrant color and realistic texture at any brightness level, along with the infinite contrast that made OLED TVs famous.

The most reliable tv brands in the world?
TVs are not BIFL…. Some can last very long, but hopefully you’ll live on long enough to see even the longest lasting TVs die :) In general, Sony is on top in terms of both quality and reliability. They have been for a long time as well. In the past, other brands such as Toshiba, Panasonic were also seen similarly, but they lost their way later (Panasonic has started to make their return to the US so let’s see how that goes). Of course, besides periods of good sales, Sony TVs also top the price lists. Depending on your budget, X90L, Bravia 7, Bravia 8, Bravia 9, A95L are all great. Avoid Bravia 5 and Bravia 3. I would avoid LG TVs that aren’t OLED. They’re top of the mountain for OLEDs (extremely comparable to Sony but quite a bit cheaper). Models like C4, G4 and later are great, but avoid their QNED, LED, etc ones. TCL makes great mini LEDs at a great price as well. QM7 and QM8 are great bang for your buck. That said, though, it’s important to know that you’re much better off buying TVs with a good warranty (especially for OLEDs, you want warranty that covers burnin. Costco’s Allstate one doesn’t). Regardless of brand, there’s a bit of a luck factor with panel lottery. You can end up with a shitty panel even from the best manufacturers. I recommend RTings . com for TV reviews. No reviewer is perfect, but they don’t post sponsored/biased stuff.

Panasonic Vieja 27” TV
Nice! I have a Sony Bravia purchased in 2008 I still play video games on.

Every year I think about replacing my 2011 Samsung TV but it’s still going strong. The design and picture quality has held up. I’m sure the new TVs would blow mine out of the water side by side, however, everyone is shocked when I tell them how old it is.
I also got a Sony XBR3 46" approx 20 years ago and saved $1k through a friend who knew a Sony distributor. TV was on most of the day in a shared house for years. I only ever had one issue after about 10 years where it wouldn't turn on that cost me $400 to repair from a local repairman (200 part, 200 labor). Still going strong today.

I think I have a 2006 Sony Bravia and one of the nice things about it is it has front facing speakers, instead of rear facing. Makes the sound slightly better, but it has no base at all and kind of farts unless the base is kept low. The picture is still decent though, and it stays in what ever setting I leave it, never updates (because smart features weren't a thing) and starts pretty fast in comparison to modern stuff. My 2023 Sony has a far better picture, but a lot of annoying junk I never use, since I have an Apple TV to handle the modern stuff. The visual gap between the two is huge, but the older one makes me wish I could just spend more for a completely dumb, non-data harvesting, version of the new one. No one really cares about that though and would always go for the cheaper version, I probably would too.

65" TV Recommendations
hmm, yeah I would rather not have another gadget. I think I'm leaning towards the Sony Bravia now. But I don't know if I should go LED or OLED with how much brightness my house gets. I don't have to use any lighting in my home until it starts to turn dusk. I also read that OLED has stepped up since the earlier releases and if you are getting a top-of-the-line TV in either category, you are unlikely to be disappointed in its brightness or black level. If I do go with Sony, can I stream directly from an android tablet to the TV? With the current tv we have now its not possible and that's a major disappointment for us, unless we got the chromecast and like I said I don't want to have to purchase something extra.
