    The TV is great. The only thing I don’t care for is that the remote control has no numbers to select for TV channels. You have to scan through all the channels. To me that’s not user-friendly.

    *"A Cut Above the Rest"* I'm absolutely loving my Sony 55" Class BRAVIA 8 OLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV! Yes, it's pricey, but trust me, you're paying for top-of-the-line features that make it worth every penny. The OLED display is stunning, with vibrant colors and pure blacks that make you feel like you're right in the action. The Google TV platform is super intuitive, and the built-in Google Assistant makes it a breeze to find what I'm looking for. Plus, the sound quality is impressive, thanks to the unique "screen speaker" technology. If you're a serious cinephile or gamer, this TV is definitely worth the investment. It's not for everyone, but for those who want the best, the Sony BRAVIA 8 is a cut above the rest. *Rating:* 5/5 stars *Would I recommend it?* Absolutely, if you're willing to splurge on a premium TV experience!

    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.

    In 2020 I made the switch from using another brand on TV to Sony when I bought my first 65" Oled TV, I have been updating all my sets little by little and the last one I bought was the 55" Sony Oled. It continues to perform at a high level and the google software is easy and intuitive to use. Great picture quality and especial when viewing a movie with great film quality.

    Had to replace my LG OLED that was developing a burn-in after 6 years. The picture on this is excellent. Colors are brighter and clearer. Set up was very simple. I did not set up the Google part because I watch all my streaming through Apple TV 4K. A great OLED for the price! I have had SONY before and have not been dissapointed.

    I love this TV. I replaced a 10 year old Samsung 4K that was definitely behind the times and let me tell you… wow. This is my first OLED and it works so well in the basement room where I mounted it. Highly recommend this TV if it’s in the right space. I also got a Bravia 9 which is much better suited for a brighter room.

    We looked at several different models at various stores. The picture quality of the Sony is significantly better than that of all the other televisions we looked at. We ordered online, picked it up in the store, and everything was seamless! The setup of the television is very simple. Our last television was a Sony and lasted 18 years, we are hoping for the same quality!

      Hi John,

      It is incredible to look back at that two-decade journey of innovation. The stunning colors you're seeing now are the result of our latest XR Processor combined with a high-performance OLED panel, which allows for pure blacks and billions of accurate colors. This AI-driven processing analyzes the data just like the human eye to ensure that the depth and saturation feel as lifelike as possible. We are so proud to have remained the centerpiece of your home entertainment for twenty years and counting.

      Thank you for your incredible loyalty and for continuing to trust Sony to bring the world into your living room.

    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.
