    We've been Sony TV owners for decades and wanted to upgrade from our 46" Sony to a little larger one and an OLED model. The Bravia 8 is a great set with a beautiful picture and easy to set up.

    Very happy with this TV, great picture. We had a problem with the first one we got randomly rebooting a couple times. Returned it after a week, and the one we have now has been flawless. Bought a Sony Soundbar and woofer with it. Good sound. Speakers on TV are typical small hollow sound.

    This TV is amazing! Sharp images and convenient wall mount screws holes! The 65in version of this TV, the screws holes on the back of the tv were too high, making it difficult to mount it without hitting the ceiling! The one flaw I did notice is the volume. It's not as loud as I would like it. Overall TV is great! Definitely recommend!

    Gorgeous picture, super easy to set up! The picture quality is worlds better than my last Sony Bravia and universes better than my Samsung. My only complaint is the buttons on the remote are VERY small, and difficult for middle-aged eyes to see. I think I will have to get a universal remote so I can actually see the icons on the buttons.
