pleasant surprise
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were looking for a Samsung no glare TV but the BestBuy assistant steered us towards this Sony Bravia 8. He gave us several good reasons not least the fact that the Samsung has this remote interface box that apperarently is prone to failure. We loved the picture of the Sony in the store and although we werent sure how reflective the TV would be in our living space, we decided to take a chance and purchase the 65" Bravia 8. Once we got home, all parts were easily assembled and it was set up in no time. The picture is fantastic and we were impressed by the sound also. To our surprise, the glare is so much less than our previous TV. We love it and hope that we get many years of joy from it

First one was bad.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On second one. First one kept shutting off, had to unplug and plug back in to get it to back turn on. Has nice picture quality. The Acoustic Surface Audio system is way better then speakers on the bottom of the TV. Sony must not have any pride in their product anymore, last TV had Sony light up in the glass frame. This one has a itty bitty sony on lower left corner, which is very difficult to see.

Posted .Hi JeffD,
We are glad to hear you are enjoying the excellent picture quality and ease of use. To access Pluto TV, please ensure you have completed the setup with a Google Account rather than using "Basic TV" mode, as certain apps are only available through the Google Play Store on the Google TV interface.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

A very good TV that just falls short of wowing!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the most expensive TV I’ve ever purchased and although that is partly a result of the size (65”) it is also a result of the brand (Sony) being higher priced overall. Compared to other TV’s I have owned/own (from the likes of Samsung, TCL and Panasonic) the picture is better. Better in terms of black levels and resolution. Some images remain grainy and this screen struggles with highly graduated shades of black/grey. Certain images can still exhibit pixelation. An issue that seems to be a result of flatscreen technology regardless of whether it’s LED, OLED or simply an “old-fashioned” LCD type screen. It’s not a bad TV but for what it costs it’s not the TV I would wholeheartedly recommend to someone who wants a home cinema set up as it will (with certain content) disappoint. It is, however, a cut above budget priced TV’s in regard to the set-up options and, if you are inclined to want to calibrate it, offers a suitable range of adjustments and some useful predefined options for finding a setup that is easy on the eye.

Posted .Hi AndrewF,
Thank you for your detailed review of the Sony BRAVIA 8 TV. We're glad that the TV offers superior picture quality in terms of black levels and resolution compared to other brands. We also understand you're having trouble with image noise or pixelation when watching contents on your TV. This issue might be caused by a setting on the TV or connected device. As a workaround, verify if the issue occurs on other channels and other video sources (e.g., Cable box, Signal Channels, Blu-ray Player, PlayStation, or any other external input). If the picture is blurry or image noise occurs on your Google TV screen when watching videos, please try following the steps on the link below to resolve the issue:

Bravia 8 65" = Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow. I did the research, started tracking the price fluctuations, then pounced on this awesome TV when Best Buy had it on sale. Let me tell you that everything I read about the Bravia 8 is true. Leaps and bounds above my 10 year old Bravia in every way possible. I spent some time tweaking the picture settings, and I've got it looking almost 3D and beautiful. Also, the sound is amazing as well. I would not hesitate if you are weighing purchasing this TV and another one, this is the one.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down, the best home entertainment experience I’ve ever had. Sony has stepped their game way up! I purchased the Bravia 8 after doing a ton of research. Seeing it in store was the tipping point for me, and trust me, seeing is believing. It actually inspired me to also pick up the Bravia soundbar, which blew me away with how much it sounds like surround sound. If you are considering upgrading your television, I would recommend you go in the store and experience the Bravia for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!
