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!!!

Sony Bravia 8
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with this product. I am one that does adapt well to change. I typically steal away from Google and Sony products simply because I am not familiar with them. This purchase has changed my mind completely. The picture is perfectly clear and navigating through Google features is seamless and quick. I would recommend this TV to family and friends

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.

Excellent choice
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had read a lot of reviews on this tv (mainly from the Best Buy site). I was a little apprehensive about buying it especially after a few people had posted they had problems with the tv rebooting regularly. After two visits to our local Best Buy, I decided to gamble and buy it. I’m glad I did. The color is vibrant and detailed and the tv was easy to set up and is working flawlessly. The Sony name has never let me down.

Bright, Bold, Beautiful — Bravia 8
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bravia 8 offers a premium viewing experience with gorgeous colors and deep blacks. I compared this TV among competing OLED and Mini-LED models and while it’s not as bright as some OLEDs and especially Mini-LEDs, the color reproduction and build quality won me over. This is especially noticeable when unboxing the TV as there are no creaks and the metal band encasing the screen adds a premium touch. While I’m not a fan of the interface, it is snappy and offers solid recommendations.

Posted .Thank you for sharing this thoughtful and insightful review, Ryan!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the BRAVIA 8 won you over after comparing it against competing OLED and Mini-LED models. It's incredibly rewarding to know that you are enjoying the gorgeous colors and deep blacks that define the premium viewing experience we strive to deliver.
Your feedback on the build quality—noting the absence of creaks and the premium metal band—is especially valuable. We believe the quality of the physical product is as important as the picture, and we're glad this detail stood out during your unboxing.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the interface; it's great to hear that despite your personal preference, you find it snappy and that the solid recommendations enhance your viewing experience.

Sony Bravia 55" TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are very happy with our purchase. The colors look more natural than other brands we compared. Because of the TV’s flat design, including the back, it sits very close to the wall when mounted, which looks great. The built-in speakers are reasonable for a small room, though we prefer deeper surround sound with more bass. We plan to continue using the TV speakers until we find a good sound system at a reasonable price.

Posted .Hi Muhammad,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful 4-star review! We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying the natural colors and sleek design of your Sony BRAVIA 8. It's great that the flat back allows for a clean, close-to-wall mount—that really does enhance the overall look. We appreciate your feedback on the built-in speakers and understand the desire for richer surround sound. We hope you find the perfect sound system soon to complement your excellent TV experience.
Thank you for choosing Sony and enjoy your viewing!

Open-Box Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My partner and I bought this as an open-box item in "excellent" condition. The sound/image quality is exactly what we were looking for and we were able to stay within our desired budget. Definitely recommend for those who want or need a replacement TV but don't want to spend above a certain price range.

Sony Bravia from Best Buy, a good choice!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like my Sony Bravia Google tv. I’m not use to having so many choices of apps. The color and sharpness of the picture is amazing. The sound isn’t bad but I’m looking to get a better sound bar. The people they sent to hook everything up were great. Very helpful. All in all a good choice.

Great tv
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great tv with the best motion handling. This replaced a new samsung 90f OLED. The samsung was brighter and colors popped a bit more, but the motion judder/studder was terrible. I returned it and got this, instead. The sony is far superior. Get this.

Simply Mesmerizing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned a Sony from 2009. A XBR LCD model. Great tv. I needed to update. I was sure I was going to go with an LG. Am I ever glad I didn't. The picture and sound are absolutely awesome. My wife told me I did good! 4K watching is mesmerizing. 55 inch is a perfect size to replace our older 40 inch in our bedroom. And it was on sale. If your in the market for a new tv I strongly suggest you give this model a check out. We love this thing. SO glad I bought it.

A Very Balanced and Performant TV.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very balanced quality TV and display. The Google TV OS is just great and probably my favorite TV software. It is not the brightest Oled, but plenty bright for my purposes and a noticeable upgrade from previous Bravia sets in a similar class. I personally chose this over the LG G4 after comparing them both for my purposes and after tweaking their respective settings for a more balanced picture for movies, shows, and gaming. I gave up the extra hz performance and peak brightness of the G4 for much better color balance, better gradient handling, overall processing quality and better OS (imo).
