    Super clear picture and even though not glare free, it is so sharp that we no longer notice window reflections we used to see with our old TV. We added a Sony receiver to enhance so our surround sound speakers.

    I recently purchased the Sony 55" Class BRAVIA 8 OLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV, and I am absolutely blown away by its performance! The colors are incredibly vibrant, and the clarity of the screen is remarkable from every angle—no more worrying about viewing spots. I decided to upgrade from my TCL TV due to some issues, and during my visit to Best Buy, a salesperson made a compelling point that really resonated with me. She said, “Sony makes movies and invests a lot of technology into their production. It only makes sense that they ensure the same level of quality in their displays.” I couldn’t argue with that logic, and I’m so grateful I made the switch This Sony TV has truly transformed my viewing experience. Whether I'm watching movies or playing video games, the detail and richness of the picture are just unmatched. If you’re considering an upgrade, I highly recommend taking the plunge with Sony—you won’t regret it

    WOW is my reaction to this TV! 55" Bravia 8 OLED. For the past 20 years I have always had top of the line LED TV'S (Panasonic, and Sony BRAVIA). OLED has change everything about watching just cable TV channels, movies on TNT, FX, BBC, USA all channels and even local CBS, NBC, FOX and WKRN are amazing Color are so realistic ounce you find your perfect settings and straight-out the box is great, but I just had to make a few changes. Streaming is very fast because of the processor Sony uses in this TV. 4k UHD content unbelievable for me because of coming from LED was just not as bright and deep in colors to perfection like OLED. Now I do have to mention that my last Sony X90L 55 inch just went out on me after 5 years and 2 months (I had a 5-year warranty) this will be my last Sony if It has anything go wrong with it!!!

    Great picture, but the TV has a couple of issues

    I previously owned a Sony TV for 16 years before it no longer became watchable. Therefore, I purchased another Sony. This one has a great picture, but the TV locked up on me within two weeks of purchasing it. The remote control wouldn't do anything to address this (it didn't work). I had to unplug the TV and then plug it back in to reset it. I also have experienced the issue of NexGen channels showing up as a black screen (with audio) on a number of occasions. Changing channels doesn't fix the issue, nor does turning the TV off and then back on. Only unplugging the TV and then plugging it back in corrects the problem each time. This is disappointing for what I feel is one of the top TV brands on the market.

    This tv has been a huge improvement and Sony is a master when it comes to making good quality TV's and this is no exception. I have this in our gaming room and mostly used for gaming and some streaming and it truly does not dissapoint. This is a well-rounded OLED TV that delivers excellent performance without the premium price of flagship models. While it's still a little on the pricier side (at least when I purchased it), it provides the deep black levels and outstanding contrast OLEDs are known for, along with a range of calibrated modes for streaming services. Its color accuracy and impressive HDR performance make it a great option for both movie lovers and everyday viewing. With its blend of performance and value, the Sony B8 easily earns my Top Choice for 2024.

    Purchasing this for our home theater may have been the best investment we have made at Best Buy. With the 4K picture quality is dramatically improved over our previous Sony Bravia. With the addition of Google to this we are having to learn it’s functionality but have already discovered added benefits to this state of the art entertainment.

      Hi JamesB,

      Thanks for your feedback on the BRAVIA 8. We're glad to hear how happy you're with the TV's great color quality.

      Regarding the sound, we understand that built-in TV audio can sometimes be limited. To potentially improve your experience, you might want to try exploring the sound settings in the TV's menu to find a mode that suits your preferences. However, for a truly enhanced home theater experience, many users choose to pair their BRAVIA TV with a Sony soundbar, which is designed to complement the TV's audio performance.

      We appreciate you choosing Sony!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn | Sony North America. Sony_US

    Definitely a bright , clear picture but by not being a TV aficionado l can’t see any difference then the LED version which is approximately half the cost which I would have chosen instead of the OLED.

      Hi DennisZ,

      We’re glad you’re enjoying the bright and clear picture of your new BRAVIA 8! While LED TVs are a great value, the OLED technology in your model provides "infinite" contrast and per-pixel light control that truly shines during dark-room movie nights and offers much wider viewing angles for everyone in the room.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Nice TV, got it as an open box item that was on display in my local store. Unfortunately they were not able to find the original stand to the tv but we were able to make do. Have always heard Sony was the best brand for tv’s (even when I worked for Best Buy briefly) and wanted to try one out. Has a very nice picture, well above what it would be replacing (a 16 year old Samsung) Would recommend!
