Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my very first OLED TV purchase after dedicating ample time to comparing other brands and posing numerous questions at various BestBuy locations to gather insightful feedback ultimately leading to an incredible OpenBox deal discovery from a Ocoee location. Picture Quality – Stunning OLED Brilliance From the moment I powered on the Bravia 8 OLED, I was floored by the sheer clarity and richness of the image. The self-emissive OLED panel delivers perfect blacks and stunning contrast. Shadow details in darker scenes (like nighttime shots in The Batman) are nuanced, never crushed or washed out. Color reproduction is natural and vibrant thanks to XR Triluminos Pro, which handles subtle skin tones and vivid landscapes equally well. The XR OLED Contrast Pro engine dynamically adjusts brightness, so HDR content pops without oversaturating colors. • Resolution: 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) • HDR Support: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG • Peak Brightness: Impressive for an OLED — much improved over older models ⸻ Sound Quality – Surprisingly Full Without a Soundbar Sony continues to innovate with Acoustic Surface Audio+ — the screen itself acts as the speaker. It’s wild how sound feels like it’s coming from the actor’s mouths or the exact spot where an explosion occurs. Dialogue is crisp and clear, and bass is respectable for an all-in-one system. That said, pairing it with a dedicated Dolby Atmos soundbar (like the Sony HT-A5000) truly elevates the cinematic feel. Smart Features – Google TV Done Right The Bravia 8 runs Google TV, and it’s the most intuitive interface I’ve used on a smart TV. Content is well-organized, and voice control with Google Assistant or Alexa is responsive. It also supports AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in, so casting from an iPhone or Android is seamless. If you’re a Bravia XR user, the Sony Bravia Core streaming service offers IMAX Enhanced content and near-lossless quality (far better than Netflix compression). Design & Build – Elegance in Simplicity This TV is gorgeous. Super thin panel, nearly bezel-less design, and a solid aluminum stand with adjustable height for a soundbar-friendly setup. It oozes premium quality. Eco & Smart Features • Ambient light sensors adapt brightness and tone automatically • Energy-saving modes are customizable • Auto Power Saving via presence sensors Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It? 101% Absolutely. The Sony Bravia 8 OLED is the perfect blend of performance, design, and smart features. Whether you’re watching 4K blockbusters, gaming, or streaming, it delivers a rich, immersive experience every time, Thank You BestBuy

The Sony BRAVIA 8 is a premium OLED TV with stunning picture quality, deep blacks, and excellent color accuracy. It also has a sleek design, strong Google TV integration, and surprisingly good built-in sound, though it can be pricey and isn’t the brightest option for very sunny rooms.

The Sony Bravia 8 is a TV that truly delivers on its promise of stunning visuals and a premium viewing experience. The OLED panel produces breathtakingly deep blacks, vibrant colors, and an overall picture quality that feels cinematic. Whether you’re watching movies, sports, or playing games, the clarity and detail stand out. One of my favorite features is the Google TV interface. It’s intuitive and gives easy access to all streaming platforms, making it a breeze to switch between apps. The TV’s design is sleek and modern, blending seamlessly into any room setup. On the gaming side, the support for 4K at 120Hz and VRR means fast-paced action feels smooth and responsive, which is a huge plus for any gamer. However, I did notice the TV could struggle in extremely bright rooms since it doesn’t quite reach the brightness levels of some competitors. Overall, the Bravia 8 strikes a great balance between performance and value, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home entertainment system without breaking the bank.

What would you expect from a Sony Bravia 8 TV? Great picture? Great sound? Great connectivity? This model has all that and more. Beautifully styled, thin, light weight. It’s a great choice for any place in your home. I mounted mine on a wall in our bedroom, replacing an older 55” set, and we couldn’t be happier. I have a JBL Bar 5 soundbar already in place in there, but I did listen to the TV speaker output. It is plenty good enough to stand on its own. If the soundbar ever gives up the ghost, I won’t need to replace it. The attached pictures are from DirecTV, Roku and a couple of Blu-ray movies played on a Sony 4K blu-ray player. Consistent quality across all inputs is evident. I primarily use Roku for streaming apps, but this set seems to have plenty of capacity for onboard app storage, should that be your preference. The one slight disappointment is the remote. It lacks a backlight and a separate button to directly select an input source. As is, you must go into settings first to select a source. Not a big deal, but it could be more user-friendly. Still, this model is a great option if you are looking for a superior 65” set at a less-than-top-tier price.

The picture quality on the Sony Bravia 8 is excellent. Colors look very natural, black levels are deep, and the brightness is strong enough even in a well-lit room. Movies and sports both look incredibly smooth, and the OLED contrast really stands out compared to my previous LED TV. I also like the Google TV interface because it is fast and easy to navigate. The TV feels premium overall, and the build quality is solid. Sound quality from the built-in speakers is better than expected, especially for dialogue clarity.

Love the color and OLED clarity. Perfect blacks are no joke. Sometimes between scenes it looks like the TV turned off. Google platform (android tv) is king and was a consideration when getting a TV. Much cleaner and easier to navigate, which is a preference. Only complaint is the brightness which I think the Bravia ii has addressed with the new panel. Even though we are in a semi-bright room it does struggle a little with indirect sunlight from and adjacent window, but surely still watchable. Covers for the back panel ports are a really nice touch. Upscaling content to 4k content is unmatched with Sonys XR processing, period.

I bought the 65 inch for my man cave in the attic and it displays an incredible picture. The black look fantastic and the upscaling is superior when watching 720 or 1080p. The Elf movie look like 4k. I have last year model in my living room xr77a80. So this is an upgrade. They are a few Sony perks that l will personally look hard to buy a non Sony TV. Google TV is by far the best smart feature. It’s not even close. You dont need Fire stick since you get all the app and features and it at the palm of your hand and dont need extra gadgets. And even thought i really liked the LG G4, their smart Web-Os was non starter for me. I love the ht-a7000 soundbar and you can pair any new Sony tv with Sony soundbar to make the TV as center speaker. When l paired with the 77 inch oled as center speaker with my 7000, it make monster music, very impressive. Granted the 77 inch doesn’t need additional speakers. I also look into pairing my Sony PS5 with the Sony TV. The new Bravia TV come out factory calibrated with Prime video, Netflix and Sony Core which gives the buyers 5 Sony free Movies to chose from old or new movies and a year subscription to use it.

Beautiful picture and feels pretty premium. Although it’s not as bright as the Bravia II it’s pretty bright once you bring it home. Perfect for movies and good for gaming but the best for picture accuracy. Really nice that Sony gives you panels in the back to protect from dust and feels like a tv that you will last you a long time however, I always recommend a protection plan on a Oled no matter what brand. Lastly there is a a little glare but pretty minimal compared to what else is out there. Photo I attach is with the tv off but you can see. That it’s minimal with the tv off and not noticeable when it’s on. Of course I’m talking about when all lights are on. I’m not washing my hands like goofy.

Excellent product. Aside from the functionality of this TV, which includes a lot of standard features, the absolute black is a headache saver for someone who is sensitive to light. The picture quality is top notch. My husband is partially color blind and so we see depth and definition on screen differently. This TV allows him to see the depth of the image on screen and the absolute black technology prevents headaches for me. I also like that the TV speaker has decent sound quality. Win win win!

Sony Bravia 8 is an excellent TV. I'm using it in a living room home theater setup. So far, brightness has not been an issue, unlike some reviewers stated. Maybe they didn't give the TV enough time to break in. Dolby Vision HDR content is brighter than standard dynamic and upscaled content. Excent color and dynamic range regardless. Deep inky blacks at all times. The TV speakers are good, but I'm using Hompods for now while I save for a Dolby Atmos setup, such as in a Sony Bravia Theatre or Sonos.

Recently purchased the Sony Bravia 8 - 65" TV from Best Buy (ON SALE). Beautiful picture, but you will need to adjust the picture settings (brightness, gamma, black level, black adjust & so on) - very easy to do. I do highly recommend if on sale. I do wish Sony made a center stand and not the ugly side feet (but glad they made the feet adjustable). The REMOTE sucks! The buttons are way too small, and the remote IS NOT BACKLIT! We ordered two Sony remotes off Amazon that look identical to the remote that comes with the TV, which is backlit and works great. I didn't lower the 5-star rating for the remotes as the picture quality is superb. First OLED we purchased and we are extremely happy with the TV and picture quality.

I’m extremely impressed with the Sony BRAVIA 8. I bought mine as open-box and honestly couldn’t be happier with it. The picture quality is absolutely incredible. The OLED blacks, contrast, colors, and HDR are on another level compared with the TVs I’ve owned before. 4K movies look especially amazing, and watching something like Top Gun: Maverick in 4K HDR really showed me what this TV is capable of. The image is incredibly sharp and detailed while still looking natural rather than overly processed. Sony’s picture processing is also a big reason I chose this TV. Regular HD content and streaming content still look very good, and the TV does a great job with motion and upscaling. I also use it for gaming, and it has been excellent with my Xbox. The HDMI 2.1 features, 4K/120Hz support, VRR, and Game Mode make it a great gaming TV as well. For movies, especially 4K UHD Blu-rays, this TV is fantastic. With a decent surround sound system, it makes for a seriously impressive home theater experience. I originally considered several other OLED TVs, but I’m very happy I went with the Sony. If you care about movies, picture quality, and accurate/natural-looking images, I highly recommend the BRAVIA 8.

It was time to upgrade my TV after 9 years with my Samsung UHDTV and after looking at Samsung and other brands I decided to go with this Sony Bravia 8 65in. I just fell in love with the cinematic picture quality on the movies. Sound is spectacular and then added the soundbar. I love the colors, not as bright as the Samsung but just fell in love with this TV. Great buy.

The Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV is incredible. The picture is razor-sharp with deep blacks and vibrant colors—movies and sports look amazing. The sound coming from the screen itself is surprisingly powerful and clear, so I don’t even need a soundbar. It’s sleek, easy to use with Google TV, and perfect for gaming thanks to HDMI 2.1 and super-smooth motion. If you want a TV that feels truly cinematic at home, this is it.

We bought a couch and single recliner with built in surround sound sound via bluetooth and our old TV couldn’t support it. This TV was flawless and very simple to set up and now we can enjoy a great picture and the full range of the new furniture. Watching a movie any other way will never be the same.

The Sony 65" Class BRAVIA 8 OLED 4K UHD is a stunning TV. The picture quality is outstanding, with vibrant colors and deep blacks that make every scene pop. Google TV integration is seamless, and the interface is user-friendly. The sound quality is impressive for a built-in system, and the minimalist design looks great in any room. It's a bit pricey, but the performance and features make it worth every penny. I Highly recommend it for movie buffs and gamers alike!

I was able to talk my wife into letting me get this one as our old tv was on the way out. Despite my old tv only being a 5yr old 4k LED, I didn't think the picture quailty could be approved upon. I was wrong! This Sony looks beautiful in our living room. The OLED gives it the best contrast and richest colors I have ever seen. Everything we have watched so far has been an eye joygasm. I have an XBOX series X and this TV made it seem like I had a next gen console. If you're looking for the best, this is it!

The Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV is amazing. The picture looks so clear and the colors are really vibrant. It has this sleek, modern design that looks great in my living room. The sound is surprisingly good, coming right from the screen itself. I also love how easy it is to use—finding apps and shows is super simple, and the voice control is really handy. The TV works great for gaming too. It’s a bit expensive, but the quality is definitely worth it. I’m really happy with it overall.

I’ve been waiting to write a review about the specific TV. I went from having a base Samsung crystal UHD TV to the premium Sony Bravia 8 tv. I will say to anyone that buys this specific TV. It is a huge upgrade compared to most TVs that are out on the market. It is quick as great picture quality the sound is great. It truly is one of the very best TVs that you can buy. Just know when you’re looking at this TV or any type of TV that is an Ola TV or a premium TV you will pay a premium price. This TV handles gaming streaming anything you throw at it I have right now all of my HDMI into the TV plugged in with different gaming consoles streaming devices. It handles it all flawlessly. I also have a ethernet cord plugged in for my router into the TV and the Internet is super quick. I am very pleased with this TV. Only real complaint about this TV and all TVs on the market today is the OS operating system on these TVs even the premium TVs like this TV the operating system is kind of laggy and not as quick my solution to that is buying an Apple TV it will quickly fix the issue. In another 5 to 10 years, hopefully Sony LG Samsung and the premium TV makers will find a way to fix the operating system in TVs and make it just as quick as an Apple TV.

I purchased a Sony 65" Bravia 8 OLED UHD Smart Google TV (2024) in July 2024 after reading extensive reviews of other manufacturers reviews and speaking with Best Buy customer service in store. I purchased this TV soon after it first became available. I owned Samsung and Sony TVs prior to this purchase. I still own a Samsung and Sony TV. Both have provided reliable service for years. I settled with this TV after seeing it on display and comparing with other TVs displayed at Best Buy. I compared Sony with similar Samsung and LG TVs. The reviews and comparisons I read provided customer issues with the reliability of current similar Samsung TVs. Reliability was also brought up by the Best Buy representatives during three visits to the store. I do use the sound from the TV as the AVR to provide sound. Pros: 1. Clarity in viewing with vivid colors. 2. Great viewing at night with no other lights on. 3. Black and dark colors are impressive. 4. Ease of use of remote and programming. Cons: 1. Not good in a highly lighted space due to screen reflection of room lighting. 2. Pricy
