Bravia 8 is really good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Bravia 8 is an amazing woled tv. The tv has sonya one slate design making it, to my knowledge the thinest Sony Oled ever released. This tv is actually and oled evo tv with better brightness. It is mosy likley the same panel found in the Lg C4 oled. That tv is abiut 1040 to 1,100 depending on who reviewed it. It this years sony is just has bright. The build quality is premium and even rhe bezles have an Embroidered like pattern all across them giving an even more premium fuel. I purchased a 55 inch TV and this is the first time that a 55 inch Sony tv that i bought had multiple feet positions So you can fit it on a narrower tv stand if you won’t wall-mount it. The last thing I’d like to touch on is the overhauled Menu system. Last year’s a95L tv actually is running the 2024 system software. It’s a bit easier to find things this year. Much like the LG C4, The extra brightness alone and superior build quality might be enough of a reason to upgrade from last years a80L or the prior years a80K , or A80J. I definitely recommend this TV. The TV is $200 off right now which is a decent discount. It will likely drop lower during Black Friday so if you can wait you’ll definitely get a better deal.

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent TV. I have grown accustomed to the UI with Google TV, but it took a couple weeks. I love that it comes with PlayStation Remote Play built in. I can play my PS5 in any room of my house. Picture quality is great. Deep blacks, vibrant colors, and minimal glare. I’m not sure I understand the motion enhancement settings yet. But motion seems fine to me. I will be getting the Bravia Soundbar 8 to utilize Acoustic Center Sync. Can’t wait. It’s my favorite tv on the house.

Good display for Streaming services only
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased two Sony Bravia TV'S in the last few years. The older one is a X80CK and the new one is the BRAVIA 8. I feel that both TV's are excellent in different ways. The older X80CK is much better when watching regular TV and when streaming shows on many APPS. The BRAVIA 8 has less quality on watching regular over-the-air sub channel TV Shows. These are typically older shows from the 1990's and older. Newer TV shows recorded in HD formats are flawless. In addition streaming content with premium APPS is amazing to say the least. Because the display has no blooming, my family room is darker so I need more room light the keep my eyes from becoming too dry. Lastly, the older set combines Pluto into watchable live TV channels whereas the new B8 doesn't which is why I prefer the older TV for my everyday TV.

Best Buy Purchase and Set-Up
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Josh and Patti were great at listening to my home theater needs then giving me options at every turn. No pressuring, they were patient with every one of my questions. When I finally decided, Patti was very thorough in explaining every detail of my bill and the various timelines for returns. Logan and Kennedy were the Geek Squad members who helped me set it up. I could not be happier with the purchase and service that I received.

Color spectrum galor.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the 55in model a few days ago to replace the 4yr old LED in the game room. Hooked up the PS5 & fired up some Elden Ring… wow what a difference. The palet of colors & contrast is astonishing. Never thought I’d notice something like the different shades of green from plants, trees, grass, etc.. Variable refresh rate is a nice upgrade as well, everything looks & feels buttery smooth. Watched Dune Part 2 in 4K last night & it was the nicest presentation of the film I’ve ever seen.

Best processing yet (with a couple of bugs).
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely a step up from the A80K,much improved video processing and color saturation.Now able to apply your video settings to all inputs and narrow stand options that both I have been telling Sony to have.Does have a issue with the eARC port that affects the video and issues with the Wi-Fi connection that with a software update will fix.Don’t bother calling Sony about this problem because they will just think it’s your issue with your HDMI cable or something other than the tv.

Bravia 8 - Great Picture
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is one of the best pictures I have seen in a while. The peak brightness is a lot higher than the model it replaces so in a brighter room it still looks good. The screen has a low reflection so viewing for different angles is a lot easier since there is not a lot of glare. Overall, I would rate this a buy.

55" Sony Bravia

The picture and color is amazing, love the 55" size. The sound is adequate but knew that going in. We decided not to invest in the soundbar for our TV room space. I'm overall happy with the purchase.
