Fantastic OLED to get on sale!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this unit on sale for $1,500 for the 65" and at that price point couldn't be happier. Doesnt have HDMI 2.1 ports but unless your a hardcore gamer shouldn't be an issue. Picture quality is excellent and sound is great for a bedroom with just the onboard sound. Very attractive TV as well with solid build. Im using this TV almost purely for movies/streaming and I think Sony does great in this department with the A8H. The proccessing power makes even watching lower quality source content look great which helps with older shows/films. HDR content also pops fairly well with the screen being able to get bright when it needs to. Andriod TV runs well on the unit, but nothing special. Overall great purchase so far.

Beautiful Image, Needs to Adjustment to get there
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took a lot of adjustments but now, IT IS BEAUTIFUL. I will make this simple. This is a beautiful TV has the best picture I have ever seen. I almost returned the unit but did not give up. My Expensive previous LCD TV looked better than this OLED 4K TV until I turned most of the complicated features off and BOUGHT A NEW 8K HDMI cable to transfer the signal from my cable box to the TV. Throw out your old HDMI Cable. Also, I had to eliminated sending the signal going to my expensive audio amp as that was not 4 K. Now I am very happy and love this TV. You will need to turn off the many features to eliminate the the "Soap Opera" effect. Once you do this there is no turning back. I just wish someone told me this because it drove me crazy for a week or two. Do give up this is a great choice and you will be happy.

||Posted .

Extremely sharp contrast and no shadows, especially with fast moving sports. Would definitely get this product again!

Nice tv
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So this tv is great don’t get me wrong, however it definitely has its flaws. For starters is the lack of hdmi 2.1. Releasing a tv during the same time your releasing your new gaming console and pushing the greatness of hdmi 2.1 you would think to include this in your new tv. To further the disappointment many including myself were misled by Sony who claimed to be including this feature in a future update than later say it’s not happening on this TV. So many of us who bought this expecting it are now stuck. Next issue is this tv has many different picture settings that really are worthless. Your best turning all of these enhancements off. What’s good about this tv? The picture quality is great. I absolutely love it and once you get it set to your liking you will too. It’s not a bright tv so keep that in mind if you do a lot of tv watching in bright rooms. It does have EARC and I use this feature with my receiver. It took sometime and troubleshooting to get it to work correctly but it will pass Atmos sound to my receiver when I’m watching Netflix. To top it off the price is great for this tv. It is identical to the A9G only missing the option to use it as a center channel speaker. Not an issue as many of us use surround speakers anyhow. All in all this tv would be 5 stars if it had hdmi 2.1. Even without it I would still give it a solid 4.5 stars.

Posted .Hi BDog, We regret to hear about your experience. The A8H supports eARC, which is one of the features that are specified in the HDMI 2.1 standard. With regard to the future update that you mentioned, you are probably referring to the X900H series. You may check out this link for more details: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00246472.
Despite the issues, we are glad that you still love TV. The A8H features the X1 Ultimate picture processor, the same processor we use in our flagship 8K HDR TVs, giving the TV an impressive boost to sharpness, contrast, and color enhancement. Using our Pixel Contrast Booster technology, you will experience real-world colors, and discover the detail in deep shadow and bright highlights, just the way the creator intended. We also hope you will notice the upgraded responsiveness of the smart Android TV platform that allows apps to open up to 3x faster. We value your input and appreciate your feedback.

Waited for years for these to become reasonably priced. Could not be happier with the picture quality, color, etc. In my opinion it's as good as the A9G master series.

Excellent Picture
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal picture quality. My wife was taken aback how detailed and colorful 1080p and 4k materials look. The A8 audio is adequate, but we enjoy our TV with a surround processor. The screen is reflective and not diffused like our old XBR52BR6, but this is not noticeable since the A8 is wall mounted and slightly tilted downward. There are no issues with TV brightness (regardless of lights turned ON or OFF). The only issue I encountered was that the Control Board went bad after 3-months of ownership; the Control Board entered an infinite reboot-loop. Sony stated this was due to an update, and replaced the control board under warranty. It was a difficult 1-week to wait for the part and repair, but we haven't had any issues since the board was replaced.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely stunning TV. I sit about 11-12ft away the TV and the 65" is a perfect size for it. The current household has white walls and light grey wood flooring so the place isn't dark by any means and I can still see the picture just fine. Was told if the room where the TV sits and if it's a very bright and ton of light room, an OLED is not for you. You'll need a normal LED TV cuz it's actually brighter. The processor is nice and quick. I can move around the menu very quickly with no delay and I like how I can control my amazon firestick with the sony remote after the initial setup. I love the feature where you can beam YouTube from my laptop via google chrome. Speakers wise it's probably one of the loudest out of the box TV as well.

Fantastic Picture!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony's 65" 4k OLED HDTV (model XBR65A8H) is everything it's supposed to be. Its size is impressive (to say the least), the colors are unbelievably vivid, the blacks are as black as you can imagine, and the thin frame doesn't detract from the picture. OLED technology is fantastic, and Sony brings it to life! The only complaint I have with the TV is Sony chose to only provide one audio output signal (an optical output), and that output is at a fixed volume and can't be controlled with a Comcast remote control. You have to use your stereo volume control to adjust the sound level. Instead, I used the TV's headphone jack to provide an audio signal to my stereo, because that output is variable and can be controlled with my Comcast remote. Other than that, it's a great TV!

Sony 65" A8H - highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When my 50" LG TV died I decided I wanted to go bigger and went with a Sony 65" A8H OLED. Although this was last year's model and I was told that the current model had some improvements (mostly for gaming), I am extremely happy with this TV and the savings over the current model makes it a very good purchase. The picture is GREAT and since it is not used for gaming, most of the improvements do not concern me. The only downside is that when streaming through different services, the volume changes from one service to another which I did not notice with my old TV. I'm not sure why this happens on one TV and not another. All in all, I highly recommend this TV.

Very good television
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good picture, sound is good but nothing spectacular. The Atmos sound may be good but right now there’s not much out there using it. Just for normal tv viewing sound is good. Compared to my plasma TV ,This picture is brighter. If you’re trying to replace an older plasma TV this is as close as you can get. Overall it’s a good but pricey TV.
