    Perfect picture quality, the best TV I've seen in my life. This is a best in class TV, the Bravia 9 has negligible improvements making this an absolute steal with recent price decrease. Sony will always be the best quality TV in the market and this model continues to lead the way.

      Hi AdrianA,

      Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you love the beautiful picture on your BRAVIA 8 OLED.

      It's true that "Vivid" mode can sometimes make older movies look blurry because it enhances everything so much. For the best viewing of all content, especially older films, we suggest trying "Cinema" or "Custom" picture modes. These settings offer a more natural look and can often resolve that blurriness. You can also fine-tune "Sharpness" and "Reality Creation" in the "Clarity" settings for a perfect picture.
      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Other reviews don't do this Bravia 8 justice. I absolutely love this tv. I had a former Bravia from 10 ish years ago that still works that I have and loved. I upgraded and bought a LG TV OLED 6 yrs back. We needed a bigger Tv for the new home living room and took the plunge on the Bravia 8. So much better than the LG in terms of use. My only complaint which was the same issue with the LG was dark movies/shows are hard to see on the picture during certain times of the day. Probably could play with the settings which I plan on doing soon.

    Nice TV, picture quality is amazing (should be for the price), it kicks up the picture quality of a PS5 very well. Playing older games there is a noticeable upgrade. It does randomly itself off and times and restart which is annoying. It happens at least a few times a week.

      Hi CynicalFish,


      We are very pleased to hear that you are enjoying the amazing picture quality of your 65" BRAVIA 8 OLED and the excellent boost it gives to your PS5 and older games. However, we are truly sorry that your TV is randomly powering off and restarting a few times a week. That is certainly annoying and not the experience we intend for you to have.

      To get this resolved, we strongly recommend checking for any pending software updates and confirming that all "Eco" or "Timer" settings (like Idle TV Standby and Auto Shut-off) are disabled. If the issue continues, please contact our dedicated product support team immediately using the link below:

      https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US

      Please have your TV's Model Number ready when you contact us.
