Bravia 8 comments
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own 2 Bravia 8 TVs. One has been flawless. The other has had Wi-Fi stability issues from Day 1. It is being replaced at no cost by Best Buy. The built in sound system ain’t the same as home theatre surround, but if unless you are an “audiophile” the built in sound is very very good!

Posted .Thank you for sharing your review of the Bravia 8 TVs, GerardZ. It’s great to hear that one of your units has been flawless and that you are satisfied with the built-in sound quality for general use, noting that it may not match a home theatre surround system but is still very good for most users. Regarding the Wi-Fi stability issues you experienced with your other TV, we apologize for the inconvenience and are glad to know that Best Buy is replacing it for you at no cost.
For future reference, there are certain troubleshooting steps you can take if you encounter Wi-Fi connectivity issues again. These include performing a power reset of the TV and your router, ensuring the firmware is up to date, checking the network status on your TV, and potentially turning off unnecessary devices to reduce interference. Detailed troubleshooting steps can be found in the support articles on the Sony website.

Sony Bravia 8 TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a 55” Sony Bravia 8 TV and it was a great value. It was delivered to my house on time as promised. The controls took a little time to get use to but I managed. I had to call Best Buy for assistance but they couldn’t figure out the problem but scheduled a technician at no cost to me. The technician figured out the problem really quick. It was a piece of wood blocking the signal from the controller. A little slide over of the cable box and problem solved. Best Buy was super to work with and they took excellent care of this customer.

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Bravia 8 TV is absolutely perfect! Picture is beautiful. I have 2 TVs in my living room so I can watch multiple sporting events at once and this replaced a 2016 model that still has a good picture, but couldn't handle some of the newer apps well (I gave that one to a neighbor). I highly recommend this new one!

Best any angle
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Sony Bravia Best decision ever made
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a tech enthusiast for years, and when my old TV finally gave out, I decided to invest in the Sony Bravia 55-inch model.

Outstanding Picture!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

So Good!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best TV Ever!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Nice tv
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!
