OLED is the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.purchased this TV open box as it was drastically reduced in price. was missing pretty much everything. I wanted to like the TV coming from 8 years of using LG OLED TVs. Picture quality was great, but the screen just did not get as bright as I would have liked. The 2 best qualities of this Sony model are the built-in speakers and the Google TV OS. The Google TV OS is so much better than LG WebOS. But in the end, I returned it for a LG C4 for an extra $50 as there was something wrong with the Sony panel. It had vertical lines down the screen on a black screen in SDR. OLED TVs are pitch black when nothing is on the screen. Was not the case with this one.

Clean and Crisp
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first new TV in 10 years, and I am completely in love with the TV. The picture is so clear and crisp. I have a PS5 and a Nintendo Switch, and both systems look great on the TV. The TV sound is good on its own, but I am glad that I still have my soundbar.

Awesome Sony TV

Sony Bravia 8 is noteworthy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Bravia 8 has an exceptionally good picture. It’s almost 3D and the tech is noticeably different to my 9000 tv I bought 9 years ago and at a much cheaper price. My son games on the tv and he is constantly telling me about all the details, like the light reflection off players hockey breezers which he couldn’t notice before. Just saying it’s worth the money.

Sleek thin design and incredible picture. If you have a wife or girlfriend that hates the look of tvs - this would be your only remote chance of bypassing that. Get one!

Great TV! I'd recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this TV for a little over a month now and am very happy with it. The picture quality is pretty amazing actually. Very clear and bright. All the colors are vivid and the darks are dark/nicely contrasted like they should be with the OLED UHD technology. I was a little unsure how it would do in our living room that can be pretty bright/sunny since some of the reviews that I read said the screen can be hard to see in brighter rooms but the picture is still great even when the room is bright from the sun. We're pretty happy!

Sony gained a new fan!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to go with a Sony instead of LG again and I have no regrets. I watched a lot of youtube videos on how to calibrate the perfect picture settings. The only thing i can't figure out is how to turn on the screen saver. I hate having to exit apps instead of just pausing them. Also, for everyone saying the tv keeps shutting off go into settings<system<power and energy. Then change the "auto shut-off" settings. One of them says Shut-off when watching, you want to change that to never.

Near perfection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this TV to replace the one in the living room. Based my decision on a few factors. One being it is a google OS. Second the stock sound quality. Third the overall picture quality. Once home and calibration was done. I quickly fell in love with everything about this TV. Massive improvement from the brand o had previously. I quickly decided to use it in another room. And buy a second one for the living room. Only the second is a Bravia 7 75 inch. As the Bravia 7 is a bit brighter for the room. Only thing I can say. Is if you have a bright room. It doesn't get very bright. Either way I am blown away by the overall quality and performance.

Good picture, brightness struggles
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an aging Samsung LCD. Google TV is fast and smooth, though the interface is not 4K (1080p? meh, doesn't affect the content). After initial setup, picture was quite dim but I was able to get it to a good level by playing with the settings, turning off eco mode, etc. Plugged in my laptop to play some games and I noticed a peculiar brightness issue: in bright scenes after a few seconds, the panel dims well below what I'd consider acceptable, especially if you're playing a game where you don't have the constant cuts between scenes like a movie or TV show. Turns out this is a feature of most OLEDs called ABL which is in place to protect the panel, and it's particularly aggressive on this model. One review site measured it near 150 nits for a full white screen... for perspective, your phone on max brightness is probably between 400-1000. Most of the time the screen was perfectly acceptable for indoor viewing but these edge cases drove me crazy and ultimately I returned the TV. Guess it's back to LCD land for me. Shame because the colors and clarity were great otherwise.

Posted .Hi Josh, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you encountered issues with the brightness dimming while using your Sony - 65" Class BRAVIA 8 OLED. We understand it can be frustrating when the features designed to protect the OLED panel impact your viewing experience, especially during bright scenes. While the K65XR80 delivers stunning color and clarity, we know that every user's preferences and environment can vary. We appreciate your input and will pass it along for consideration in future product development. Thank you for considering Sony! Regards, - Dominick
Fantastic upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality of this TV is amazing. The Bravia 8 is replacing my eight year- old Bravia 4K HD, which still works great (Sony quality). The B-8’s picture is extremely vivid and accurate. It’s in a relatively bright room but the colors still hold up. The audio is great too as you can enhance it for speech, which makes dialog easier to hear. Well worth the price compared to other similar units.

Really Nice Deep Blacks
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The blacks are amazing on this TV as well as the overall clarity, colors and sharpness. The 120hz refresh is also really nice for gaming. A great TV for both movies and games! I cannot comment on the tv sound or speaker quality because I have the sound going through a home theater system.
