Our Verdict

Sony BRAVIA 3

Sony BRAVIA 3 II

The Sony BRAVIA 3 II is better than its predecessor, the Sony BRAVIA 3. The new model uses a matte anti-reflective coating on the 65- and 75-inch models, which greatly reduces glare when watching TV during the day. The other sizes have a similar glossy coating on both models, but the newer generation is still better. The new model is a bit brighter, and it's powered by a more advanced chipset, so it removes judder from more content, and it supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four inputs, instead of just two on the older generation.
