Regretting purchase
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV reboots far too often, shutting down and restarting in the middle of programs for no apparent reason. Regretting purchase, as this is very annoying. Picture is clear, sound is fine. Remote is adequate.

Posted .Hi Kathy,
We're truly sorry to hear about the unexpected reboots on the Bravia 8 TV, that sounds really frustrating, especially when you're in the middle of watching something. We'd love to help troubleshoot this issue and find a solution for you.
The issue appears to occur while a cable box is connected to the TV via an HDMI cable. We are investigating the issue and working on a future software update to address it, in the interim, kindly follow the next steps:
1. Set the Bravia Sync to OFF by going into Settings > Channels & Inputs > External inputs > BRAVIA Sync settings > turn OFF BRAVIA Sync control.
2. Use a CEC-less HDMI cable or adapter with your cable box to prevent the TV from rebooting or restarting.
3. Set The SAMBA Interactive TV to OFF by going into Settings> System > Samba Interactive TV > turn OFF Samba Interactive TV.
Please note that you will need to use the cable box remote control in this case until the software update is released.
The TV is set to update the software automatically by default, you can always take a look periodically on our support website if you've not seen any pop-up on the TV screen, check if there is any update through the following link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/oled-tvs-android-bravia-8-xr80-/k-55xr80/software/00346878
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Thanks you for choosing Sony.

Regretting the purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot recommend this television or any Sony tv. The tv constantly randomly reboots on its own. I’ve troubleshooted every available item to no avail. The latest firmware update issued on 12/16 was supposed to fix the random restarting issue, but it doesn’t. What was supposed to be a tv upgrade has been a downgrade. Is it too much to ask for a tv to display a picture? Watching your favorite show or sporting event and it suddenly shuts down, while you have the pleasure of waiting a few minutes for it to restart. The worst part of it is Sony does not stand behind their product. After speaking with Sony customer service, for a 2 month old product still under warranty, their answer is to hope for a future software update that MAY fix the issue. They refuse to send a technician out to diagnose the issue, which could be a failed power supply. I’m not clear what Sony actually warranties on their televisions, since this one won’t display a picture constantly, but they are not willing to make it right. Buyer beware.

If you’re looking to waste money, this is the TV!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV lasted exactly 14 months, which is two months past the warranty. Now it’s ready for the trash can. Sony says they wish me well with it. The TV just comes on, the screen cuts off, and a red light at the bottom starts flashing. Sony has really been going downhill lately.

Refurbished junk
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had purchased the Bravia 8 after upgrading from the Bravia 3 that I wasn't happy with the picture quality. After I got it set up it did turn on due to a small crack in the screen that can only be seen in bright light. I returned the 3 to best buy and exchanged it for the 8. Needless to say when I opened the box there was absolutely no plastic or cover to protect the screen. The top of the tv frame is all scratched up. Did not want to make another trip to best buy. So in short I paid $1600 for a factory refurbished tv. I will never purchase anything ever again from best buy.
