    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I own a Sony Bravia that I bought in 2008. Still works, no complaints. I did some research and decided to get a Samsung but, when I was in the store and saw the Samsung and a new Sony Bravia side by side, the Sony looked like a better picture to me. I mulled it over and thought "the Sony has been very good to me, why am I considering switching brands". I've had the tv for a few weeks now and I am very happy.

    If you want a TV that delivers top-tier movie/show viewing, excellent gaming (especially with a PS5), immersive sound, and good design — without stepping up to ultra-premium flagship prices — the Sony Bravia 8 is one of the best all-round choices. It’s especially strong in darker viewing environments. If your room has a lot of ambient light or you need many HDMI 2.1 ports, you might consider some competitors. But for most users, it balances quality, features, and price very nicely.

    This Sony Bravia TV is great. The OLED screen is bright in indirect sunlight and the picture quality is the quality you would expect from Sony. I compared this to the LG C4 in store and preferred the Bravia. There is also plenty of smart TV features and the apps are integrated well into the main OS of the TV. I’m very happy with this purchase and recommend it if you are in the market for this size / panel type.

    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?

    The TV is excellent! This is the first time I ever bought a tv without seeing it in person. I went by reviews and specs and was not disappointed. Now on the downside. I had a delivery lined up in January for a certain time between 1 and 5. After 6 then 6:30 then 7. Nothing!! No phone calls no nothing. I found out the next day that the truck broke down… I understand things happen but no phone call! Then I had to reschedule for two weeks later. I’m in the situation of needing another tv but I’m having second thoughts of purchasing from Best Buy. Oh I was also told I would be getting a gift or discount but haven’t heard a word…

    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.
