Posted .Hi LindaB,
We are delighted to hear that your new BRAVIA 8 is providing such a noticeable upgrade over your previous A80J.
Moving from one OLED generation to the next is always an exciting jump, but the improvements in peak brightness and color mapping on this model are designed to truly transform the viewing experience. We take great pride in our XR Processor's ability to maintain that "well-balanced" natural color while pushing the boundaries of clarity and luminance. Hearing that these enhancements are making a real-world difference in your home is exactly why we do what we do.
Thank you for trusting Sony!

Sony 65” TV Review
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a long-time Samsung supporter, I was disappointed with the recent purchase of a Samsung 65” television. So, I returned it and bought a Sony 65” tv. What a difference! The picture and sound quality were significantly better. I especially like the option to amplify voice/dialogue, making it easier to hear.

Posted .Hi KevinM!
It's truly wonderful to know you're happy with your new BRAVIA 8! We appreciate you giving us a try.
The picture and sound quality are a big focus for us, so it's rewarding to hear that you're experiencing the difference. The Voice Zoom 3 feature uses a powerful AI processor to recognize human voices and either amplify or reduce their volume so every word comes through loud and clear.
We appreciate you choosing Sony!
All the best,

Sony Bravia Compatibility
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second Bravia we purchased in the last 10 years. Picture quality exceeded expectations. The only technical issue we are working is the compatibility between our Sony Model and Sonos sound bar. The sound cuts in and out with the sound bar.

Posted .Hi BruceP,
That is wonderful to hear that the picture quality of your new BRAVIA 8 has exceeded your expectations! We understand how frustrating intermittent audio can be, especially when pairing with a high-end soundbar like Sonos. Audio cutting out between a TV and soundbar via the HDMI eARC/ARC port can often be resolved by changing the Digital Audio Out setting on the TV from Auto to Auto 1, and ensuring the TV's software is fully updated, as this helps stabilize the data handshake between the two brands. If this doesn't resolve the issue, please try disabling the eARC Mode in the TV's audio settings, as the standard ARC protocol can sometimes be more stable for certain soundbar models, or check your HDMI cable connection to ensure it is fully seated and is a high-speed certified cable.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
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.

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi SALT,
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the built-in speakers and Google TV OS, but we're sorry that the Bravia 8 didn't meet your expectations, especially regarding the panel issue. We appreciate your feedback!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Best TV I've owned
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I knew upgrading from UHD 4K TV to an OLED would be amazing, but OMG. The picture is amazing and the TV automatically upgrades to Dolby Vision on applicable streaming services. Even older shows like Friends and The Office have great pictures. The only thing I haven't tried on the TV yet is gaming since we typically game on PCs.

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!

Best Picture On The Market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing picture quality with the deepest blacks I’ve ever seen. The Sony menu is a little busy and somewhat disjointed. Sound quality is negligible since I’ve attached it to a dedicated surround sound system. Dolby vision produces a pretty amazing picture. Brightness is good and even brighter if you turn off the automatic ambient lighting match setting. Overall I’d buy this TV again. I’ve had a Sony ever since flat screens were invented and have never been disappointed. My last XBR that this is replacing lasted 17 years so I’m hoping to get the same quality from this one.

Nice TV, skimping on basic hardware
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice TV -- both the picture and sound are very solid and probably among the best. The OLED screen is nice to watch. However, it was disappointing to see Sony not providing basic hardware. The instructions asked me to remove 4 screws from the back, and it was natural to think that those screws can be used to attach the stand to the TV. Nope, those screws are NOT provided, and you need to go and get them! (And never mind the removal -- I had to put those 4 screws back) Also, there is a whole lot of verbiage about securing the TV by using some form of a chain, hooks, etc., but none of that stuff is included. Why skimp of such cheap things on an expensive TV?
