Bravia 8 Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was disappointed with the Sony - 65" Class BRAVIA 8 OLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV's (2024) performance, especially its brightness. Even at the highest settings, the screen looks dim and lacks the vivid picture quality I expected. Compared to other Oled TVs of similar age and caliber, it simply doesn’t hold up. Colors appear muted, and watching during the day or in a well-lit room is frustrating. Overall, this TV feels behind the times and not on par with other Oled models that still manage to deliver a brighter, more enjoyable viewing experience especially at the price point of $1999.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, RodneyT.
We are truly sorry to hear that the brightness of your new BRAVIA 8 has not met your expectations, especially when compared to other OLED models. We understand your frustration, as we want every customer to feel they are getting a premium, vivid viewing experience at this price point.
The BRAVIA 8 is designed with a focus on cinematic studio accuracy, aiming to reproduce colors and shadows exactly as film directors intended. However, we recognize that in well-lit rooms, a "dim" appearance can be frustrating.
Before giving up on the unit, we recommend checking if the "Ambient Light Sensor" or "Eco Dashboard" settings are enabled, as these can sometimes aggressively dim the peak brightness based on your room's lighting. Additionally, switching the Picture Mode to "Vivid" or "Standard" and ensuring "Peak Luminance" is set to High can significantly boost the punch of the OLED panel.
If you’ve already adjusted these and still feel the performance is lagging, please contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv. We would appreciate the chance to ensure your specific unit is performing at its full technical potential.
Thank you for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Miss Apple functions
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tv works great but Apple TV function does not allow purchases and does not support Apple casting - need to buy an Apple TV box to really use it correctly.

Posted .Hi, TomH,
Thanks for the review and the thought regarding the apple casting function. We appreciate feedback and it definitely will be taken in consideration for future references. Although, we are delighted to hear that your BRAVIA is delivering as expected. Delivering over 8 million self-lit pixels, which are precisely controlled to produce pure black with high brightness.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a nice day!

Sony needs to fix their firmware
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality, color range, and black depth is unparalleled. Unfortunately, it has firmware issues with HDMI audio pass through that lead to crackling audio. Very frustrating for the cost.

Posted .Hi KyleS,
Thank you for appreciating the exceptional picture quality, vibrant color range, and deep blacks of the Sony BRAVIA 8. It's true, the visual experience is top-notch. However, it's equally important to point out the frustration concerning HDMI audio pass-through and the crackling sound issues you are experiencing.
If you're experiencing the issue while using an external device or audio system, we recommend verify the physical cable connection between the TV and the device, as well as the device settings. To avoid any issues, please make sure that the HDMI cables you are using are rated for "Premium High Speed" and are at least 18 Gbps (or better). Also, cables can get damaged internally, e.g. when bending in sharp angles.

While viewing a program through the HDMI-3, the tv will JUMP TO AN OVER THE AIR channel and you will be seeing that program on the screen, BUT the AUDIO will stay on movie or what every you were TRYING to watch.

Posted .Hi Cheesehesd2,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry to hear some issues that you are encountering with your BRAVIA 8 TV. This is definitely not the news nor experience we want you to have. We understand how frustrating it can be when your viewing experience is interrupted where TV is jumping to an over-the-air channel while audio stays on the HDMI source(movie).
Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Ensure that your TV software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.
Performing a power reset or restart on the TV is always recommended first as it can resolve many issues and doesn't affect saved information.
- Using the supplied remote control: Point the remote control to the illumination LED or status LED and press and hold the POWER button of the remote control for about 5 seconds, or until a message Power off appears.
- Turn off the TV. Unplug the television power cord (mains lead) from the electrical outlet. Let the television remain without power for 2 minutes. Plug the power cord (mains lead) back into the electrical outlet.
For reference: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00159487
The HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a HDMI standard that provides control functions between different A/V devices such as TVs, home theater systems, Blu-ray Disc players, and other HDMI devices. In some cases, a conflicting setting might cause the issue. Try disabling HDMI CEC on your TV and connected device.
