I just upgraded to the Sony BRAVIA 8 55-inch OLED, and honestly, I’m blown away. The picture quality is absolutely stunning—the blacks are perfect, making the colors pop in a way standard TVs just can't match. It doesn't look like a TV; it looks like looking through a window.
The sound is the coolest part; it actually comes directly from the screen, so voices feel totally immersive without needing extra speakers immediately. Plus, gaming on my PS5 feels smoother than ever. It’s a premium price, but for the cinema-quality experience and that sleek design, it is worth every single penny

10/10 !
Was a HUGE upgrade from my previous curved Samsung TV I had for almost 8 years. I did a lot of research before walking in so I knew what I wanted. This specific TV is Oled, and it offers 120hz / 4K gaming with the 2.1 HDMI port. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The Oled is a major upgrade from the LED I had and I am absolutely blown away. Movies and games have not been the same!! So 10/10 - I have absolutely nothing negative to report back after the month of ownership so far. SONY really kills it and I think I’m a customer for life.

First TV purchase in 14 years and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent picture quality, sharp colors, excellent lowlight image, but OLED is the only way to go if you value quality. Lifelike images, great refresh rate, and Google TV is so easy to use.

I did a lot of research before deciding on this TV — LG was the opposing contender. Once I was able to see them side by side it was an obvious choice for me. I like the wide angle stand. It’s slim but sturdy and the resolution is beautiful.
My only complaints are the user interface—it’s not intuitive and the AirPlay resolution makes the picture a “zoom” angle by default and I can’t find a setting to correct it (it worked fine the first few days). I’ve had to resort to air playing via AppleTV. The audio on the built in speakers is not good but I’m using a Yamaha sound bar connected via the optical connection with no issues like audio delay. My energy bill is up but I’ve been trying to use the energy saving setting more.
Overall, my screen time has definitely increased since this purchase bc I can’t stop staring at this TV.

Hi, Techrobot,
Thanks for the great review and the comments. We really appreciate feedback, as Sony strives to deliver the best quality products. For the problem related to the AirPlay, we would recommend restarting the TV and Apple devices and also, checking for Software Updates on the TV and on the Apple devices. In case the problem persists, you can contact us at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv for further assistance.
We are still glad to hear that picture quality is good, and its given to the Sony's XR Processor, that intelligently enhances every scene in real-time boosting color, contrast, and clarity.
Thank you for choosing Sony, have a nice day! -DiegoV

This Sony Bravia 8 OLED was the ideal choice for us. We wanted to try the OLED technology, and we chose Sony because it's a top brand known for its high-quality products. And of course, we had to visit Best Buy to get the best deal! The TV works amazingly, with stunning resolution and sharpness. The blacks are deep, and the colors are so vibrant that it’s almost like you're not even looking at a screen. The image is so clear that it offers a really good immersive experience. It's everything we were looking for. We love watching our favorite series and movies on the Sony Bravia 8 OLED. Since we’ve been enjoying it, we can’t imagine going back to anything else.

This TV exceeded my expectations. It is truly phenomenal. In my opinion. The picture and the sound are both fantastic. It is not super intuitive figuring out the menu items and I can't seem to figure out how to turn off the talkback feature the Sony Bravia neck speakers that I bought with it really add to the viewing experience

Hello RickA,
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback on your Bravia 8!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that this television has not only met but exceeded your expectations, and that you find it's picture and sound quality truly phenomenal.
We also appreciate your honest input regarding the menu navigation and the Talkback feature. We understand that getting accustomed to new system layouts can sometimes take a moment. Turning off the Talkback on your Sony TV is as easy as just holding down the mute button (on Sony remote) till you see the "accessibility feature off" message on-screen.
It's also wonderful to hear that the Sony Bravia neck speakers are significantly enhancing your viewing experience!
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely, Jenn.

This TV is such excellent. It has a really good image quality, the colors look really good, and the details in the movies are such indescribable. I bought this tv with no interest with the Best Buy Credit Card and that a really good point to consider.
In conclusion if you want to buy the best tv, and also good brand like Sony just buy this one.

Phenomenal 55” Sony 4K OLED!!! This is one of the best OLED TVs & has the most features for the $$ when I researched and purchased it. I have purchased several Best Buy TVs - 82” Samsung 4K & 55” LG 4K OLED in other rooms, this Sony would be great in any setting, but works extremely well for our master bedroom. It has great sound options internally, but a sound bar & sub really bring out that extra warmth for viewing. It helps make older resolution shows really pop and 4K BluRay’s are where this Sony really shines!

This TV was a birthday gift to myself. I’m blown away by the picture quality (previously owned a SAMSUNG 58” about 6-7 years. The sound went out and didn’t play well with soundbars).EASY SET UP — It sets itself up! Very customizable, works beautifully with it’s own soundbar (just plug and play). Gaming mode is impeccable so much detail I was unable to see on my old TV! Great purchase. This TV IS PRICEY — get it on sale and be sure to PRICE MATCH to bring the cost down.

I wanted up to date technology and sure got. OLED, in my opinion, is state of the art in dynamic lifelike viewing. WOW!! as real as it gets. I bought a 55" and took it back. I had room and purchased the 65". Perfect. Sports like your in the game. Movies you feel involved in. Sound much better than one may think. Although I went all the way with a matching sound system. WOW!! very happy.
