    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.

    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.

      Hi Unhappycustomer,

      We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with your Sony BRAVIA 8 TV. This is absolutely not the experience we want you to have, and we understand how frustrating it must be to deal with unexpected reboots while trying to enjoy your favorite content.

      Turn off BRAVIA Sync: On your remote, press Quick Settings → Settings → Channels & Inputs → External Inputs → BRAVIA Sync Settings → Turn OFF BRAVIA Sync control.
      Use a CEC-less HDMI cable or adapter to prevent the TV from restarting.
      Turn off Samba Interactive TV: On your remote, press Quick Settings → Settings → System → Samba Interactive TV → Turn OFF Samba Interactive TV. (Please note that you may need to use your cable box remote until the next software update is released.)

      To better assist you with the issue you're encountering, could you please provide us with the details of your call? Please email the following information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.
