BEST TV EVER
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love love love this TV. I’ve had my eye on this TV for almost a year now and was happy to finally get one. The picture quality is amazing and having all the apps at my fingertips without having to fire up my Firetv or my AppleTV is bonus. I still use the devices for apps that are not supported on the television. Also, the 4K resolution on my 4K AppleTV definitely makes watching things on the AppleTV more enjoyable. I definitely would recommend this product for anyone looking for an 4K OLED TV. I do have to say that the price on these are a bit pricey, but I was able to get this at a great price during that once a year sale.

I love this TV!!!
||Posted .

I go to film school for Directing and Acting. So I was looking for the best TV for resolution, color and interface for the money. This TV definitely fits the bill. Watch movies or TV on it is unbelievable in the best way possible!!! I 100% Recommend this TV for watching movies and TV the way it was meant to be seen.

Accurate color
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although a Sony is pricey, I have always purchased a Sony for their accurate color. My last one was an 46XBR9. This one is a step beyond. The OLED color rendition is much better than LED.

Love it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had been looking at OLED TVs to replace my aging plasma. I decided on the Sony because of the superior signal processing. This is a great TV! Picture quality is excellent - sharp, clear, beautiful color, smooth motion and absolute blacks. The audio is fairly good too. The remote control is slim but works well. My only complaints (minor) are the lack of a manual and no front indicator that the TV is on. I really like this TV and recommend it to anyone that wants one of the best pictures in the business.

Awesome tv!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about this tv is great! The sound is wonderful. I thought I would eventually get a sound bar to go with it, but the sound is great. In my opinion there is no need for a sound bar with this tv. The picture quality is exceptional. My neighbor was impressed with it. He said he could hear it better than his own tv. You can tell the difference with the front firing speakers. I think think that has come up with an excellent tv. Thank you!!

Really happy but wish I woulf have gone bigger
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was debating between the LG CX and the Sony A8H. Since I wouldnt consider myself a gamer, I went with the tv that was considered to be the best in terms of picture quality. I have to say, I have been impressed with the tv so far. Excellent picture. It really makes you wish the quality of SDR content was more consistent because the quality of the picture is excellent. My only regret is that I didnt go with a 65 over the 55. The 65 is just a much more immersive experience.

Sony Oled A8H
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a real splurge for us. Did a ton of research and finally decided to go for Sony oled because of processor now available in this model. We have truly been blow away by everything we watch on this TV. Amazing upscaling when needed. It’s like being in the movie theater. 4k dvds are unbelievable. Got an amazing price on a random price drop and added Sony sound bar with special offer at the time of purchase and then found the 2 Sony satellite speakers for half off in Best Buy’s returns area. Put on Audioquest vodka cables. The picture and sound are unbelievable! So happy with purchase!

Amazing TV, highly reccomend!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.AMAZING. OLED is truly a game changer when it comes to TV technology. I had a 4K TV (pre HDR) that was great but OLED just really just is so incredible. Sony has done a tremendous job making a great TV. I thought long and hard between this and the LG CX but I am a brand loyalist and while it was hard for me to see the difference side by side between the Sony and the LG in person I chose the Sony. I also like the adjustable stand legs as it allowed me to place this over my Sonos Playbase while the stand on the LG would have not worked well at all. I also got a great price at BB

Watching snow fall has never been so cool
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First high-end TV I ever bought. We put on a BBC Earth Documentary. The first episode was the polar region which is always a snooze fest for me. This time, however, blew my mind as you could see the individual snowflakes in the flurry as they fell upon the ground. Though the snow was amassed on the tundra, you could still see the individual pieces of snow that were part of the collection. Never seen anything like it. Love the TV and happy with what I paid for it.
