Q: QuestionWill this TV work in Europe?
Asked by JT.
- A:Answer Hi JT, While the 4K OLED picture quality is universal, a North American Sony TV isn't fully compatible with European broadcasting standards (DVB-T/S/C), meaning the built-in tuner won't work, but you always have broadcast over internet as an alternative. App compatibility can also vary by region, and while the TV typically supports 110-240V, you'll need a physical plug adapter for Europe. Thanks for considering Sony. -Eliab

Q: QuestionIs this a true tv mirror As it will be a legit mirror when it’s off? Once you turn it on it’s a tv!?
Asked by KDB0.
- A:Answer HI KDB0, The BRAVIA 8 TV is not designed to be a "true mirror TV" that functions as a literal mirror when off. When the TV is off, it will appear as a dark, reflective screen, similar to other OLED TVs, which can reflect the room to some extent. However, it's not engineered with specialized mirror technology to provide a perfect, distortion-free reflection like a dedicated mirror. Its primary function is to deliver stunning 4K OLED picture quality when turned on. Thanks for considering Sony. -Eliab

Asked by Prince.
