I would recommend this to a friendXr8b picture quality is below the Bravia 8
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite what the rep might tell you the Sony Bravia 8 and Sony Bravia XR8B absolutely do not have the same picture quality. Bravia xr8b lacks tri luminous and contrast booster making the xr8b noticeably darker
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi JohnV,
Thanks for bringing this up. We're really sorry if there’s been any confusion or disappointment. You’re absolutely right that the Bravia 8 and Bravia XR8B aren’t identical when it comes to picture quality; the XR8B doesn’t include our Triluminos display or contrast booster features, which can definitely make a difference in brightness and color performance.
We always want to be upfront about what each model offers so you can pick what works best for you.
Thanks for considering Sony products and for your feedback.
Sincerely,
Estefany

Amazing tv
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far the best tv I have ever owned. My flagship tv up to this point is a warranty replacement of my Samsung 55" OLED from 2019. Not a bad tv at all, I didn't like situation of how I got it with the tv I purchased and owning for less than 2 years going out on me. The Sony tv by far has a much better viewing and sound experience. After reading about the differences between this model and the top model, I can see that the blacks are slightly pixelated but I have no problem living with that. I mounted this tv in my bedroom and have not looked back at all. Just wondering which sony model will be my new flagship model in the basement...

Get a Sony A75L Instead
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Colors were off, especially yellow colors that looked brown in game mode. The TV is also very dim at max brightness, even for an OLED. If your considering buying a budget OLED, get the Bravia XR A75L instead, which is better in almost every way.

AMAZING Picture!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a big difference between Bravia 8 and Bravia 8 II. Nice bang for your buck! This is my first oled, and I am so excited! I've been buying sony since the old Wega Trinitron days. Seeing is believing! You can see the difference with the Dolby Vision and standard. I know I know what you're thinking. I might be biased but hey... "Picture me rolling!!....Big Syke, Nook, Hank....All Eyes on Me! Hahhaha!!!!!"

Really nice 4k TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an exceptional TV, although it would be nice if the spacer screws for wall mounting were included in the packaging. The picture is quite detailed and the ATSC 3.0 "NexGen" tuner is a great feature that many of the competitive TV's just do not have. I think is plenty bright for many people's tastes.

Great TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great TV. Upgraded from a Sony 3D 1080, so the clarity is really noticeable on the OLED 4K. I use an Apple TV so can't speak to the Google TV but it looks fine. Delivery was ontime and quick - happy there.

Thank you for the 5-star review of the Sony - BRAVIA XR8B OLED TV and congratulations on your upgrade.
It is most rewarding to hear that the clarity is really noticeable! The leap from 1080p to 4K resolution on our OLED panel, with its millions of self-illuminating pixels and the power of the Processor XR, delivers a truly striking and impressive visual difference. We're glad you are now experiencing perfect black levels, dazzling contrast, and exceptional detail!

Bravia xr8b 55”
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv was purchased as a better value than the Bravia 8 version 1 and is mostly the same tv and certainly worth the price paid. Excellent blacks, great color and good brightness for my setting. If you are watching in a very sunny room with many windows it may not be bright enough but that is not an issue for my situation. The included smart tv and app functions are so good that i did not reconnect my google tv 4k box as the built in functions are just as good.
