    I’ve always assumed because you buy the most expensive you get the best . But it wasn’t the case here . All though the Sony was colorful I don’t believe it’s as colorful or as bright as its competitors. To be determined though. It’s a great tv for a darker room.

    Per Sony and per personal experience with two of these Bravia TVs the software must be updated or they will lock up. You have to unplug the TV to restart. Do not recommend until Sony makes a software update.

    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.

      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.

      Hi Dilligaf, we're truly sorry to hear about the freezing issues you're experiencing with your Sony - BRAVIA 8. That's definitely not the experience we want you to have, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

      1. Make sure your TV's software is up to date by going to settings > system > about > system software update > update your TV software

      2. Clear the cache data of your TV, while in settings go to system > storage > internal shared storage > cached data > clear

      3. Turn on Simple IP control, select settings > network and internet > home network > IP control > Simple IP control > turn it on

      We hope these steps can help you to improve the performance of your TV. If the problem persists we strongly encourage you to contact our technical team through: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv

      Hi JoyceB, Thank you for your feedback on the BRAVIA 8. We apologize for the issue you're experiencing with the color on people's faces picking up the background color and reflecting on their faces.To address this issue, we recommend the following steps:

      Adjust Picture Settings: Go to the TV's picture settings and try adjusting the color balance, brightness, and contrast. Sometimes, tweaking these settings can help reduce the color reflection issue.

      Check for Firmware Updates: Ensure that your TV's firmware is up to date. Manufacturers often release updates that can fix bugs and improve performance.

      Optimize Viewing Environment: Make sure the TV is not placed in a location with excessive light or reflective surfaces, as this can affect the picture quality.

      If you’re interested you can schedule a one-on-one consultation with our experts here:  https://electronics.sony.com/one-on-one-consultation?utm_campaign=ooclink_rsiyt_20201026&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social_organic&utm_content=rsi&cid=sco-na-3351

      Hope this helps and thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US
