A:AnswerHi Tmot,
Thank you for your inquiry. For the BRAVIA 8 TV, it uses an M6 screw with a length of 10 mm – 12 mm. This TV conforms to the VESA Mount Standard and has a VESA hole pattern of 11.81 x 11.81 inch (300 x 300 mm). If you use an optional Wall-Mount Bracket (except SU-WL855 and SU-WL905), the length of the screw for wall-mount bracket differs depending on the wall-mount bracket thickness.
For additional information on wall-mount screw size, please refer to this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/5057/2da9e16054d0513734ba0e0c26bcbf48/50577361M.pdf
For product protection and safety reasons, Sony strongly recommends that installation of your TV on the wall be performed by qualified professionals. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jess

A:AnswerHi MrDuffin,
Thank you for your inquiry! The Sony STR-DN1070 can handle basic 4K HDR (HDR10, HLG) and standard audio on the Sony BRAVIA 8 (K65XR80) but misses out on Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, 4K/120Hz, VRR, ALLM, and eARC. If these features are important, consider upgrading:
Sony STR-DH790: Supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, eARC, but no 4K/120Hz or VRR.
Sony STR-AN1000: Includes 4K/120Hz, VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, eARC, and better integration with Sony TVs.
Sony STR-AZ1000ES, STR-AZ3000ES, or STR-AZ5000ES: Offers modern features including 4K/120Hz, VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, eARC, and 8K passthrough.
If you don't need advanced audio or gaming features, your current receiver might suffice. Otherwise, the STR-AN1000 is the most economical choice for full compatibility. Additionally, this TV also features Acoustic Center Sync. Acoustic Center Sync enables our home theater equipment to use BRAVIA as a center speaker so that sound comes from the screen rather than just the soundbar. Please refer to this link for more information about which Sony audio products support exclusive BRAVIA TV features, particularly the Acoustic Center Sync feature:

A:AnswerHi Jay,
Thank you for reaching us with your concern. We understand your concern about screen image retention or burn-in. We're sorry that you had to experience all of these inconvenience with your Sony BRAVIA 8 TV. This is not the news we want to hear.
Image retention occurs due to the degradation of screen uniformity as a result of continuous display of the same screen for a certain period of time. To reduce image retention, we recommend that you turn off the TV on a daily basis for more than four hours using the remote control or the power button on the TV. Images that include clocks and bright colors easily cause image retention. Avoid displaying these types of images for long periods of time, otherwise image retention may occur.
The good news is that we have equipped this TV with functions that automatically adjust the screen conditions, to protect the TV from screen image retention. Respectively: Panel refresh and Pixel shift to name a few. These functions automatically run according to your TV’s condition or you can run them manually. For more on "Notes on using OLED TVs (about image retention)", please visit the link below.
