 Sony just revealed its lineup of new TVs for 2024. While many boast interesting features that we'll get into later, the biggest change is naming conventions. Sony TVs used to be named confusing strings of numbers and letters, but that's all gone now. The names here are clean and simple. They all use Bravia, a long-time Sony moniker for televisions, and a single digit number.
The Bravia 3 is a standard 4K LED TV with dynamic HDR, upscaling technology and a 60Hz refresh rate. This is the most basic box within Sony's lineup, but it still looks plenty capable. The company promises that it also uses eight percent less power than last year's equivalent, which is always nice. The TV is available in sizes ranging from 43-inches all the way up to 85-inches, with prices going from $600 to $1,800.

The company says this allows it to feature 790 percent more dimming zones compared to last year's similar X90L. The more dimming zones a TV has, the smaller each one will be. This leads to an increase in precision and a better contrast ratio.
It also uses less power than the X90L, to the tune of 15 percent, and boasts a new calibration mode
