This is the one
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was upgrading from a 9yo 49" LCD and when I saw this in store I instantly knew this was the one. Absolutely beautiful picture quality. The colors are deep and vibrant. Surprisingly good sound and it's plenty bright. I use an AppleTV with this, but the native Google TV os is sleek and easy to use. Setup was a breeze.

Best ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The colour contrast is easily the best I've ever seen. Delivery was excellent and Sony packaging is superb. Wall mounting was easy, the TV only weighs 49 lbs. Setup was also easy, just follow the prompts on the screen. Best TV experience I've had and the TV has the best picture I've ever watched.

Bocanegras Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful picture quality. Not satisfied with the remote control that came with the unit. I would prefer to have one with a numeric key pad to be able to change to a numbered channel. Also, since it is a Google capable TV, I would like to have a Google icon high on the menu to go directly to the site. Lastly, I would have liked the closed caption button directly as a button on the remote. Thanks

Posted .Hi JesusBocanegra,
We're so glad that you like the superb picture quality of this TV. We also understand you would like to use a remote with a numeric pad to manually select and navigate channels. Unfortunately, there is no numpad and Subtitle/CC button on the supplied remote control on this TV as it has a newly design with smaller, sleeker, and less buttons. To display closed captions/subtitles on the TV screen, press the MENU button to access the Control Menu, then select the CC/Subtitle option. It will ALSO display a menu on the TV to use button functions that are not on the remote control on the screen so you can easily enter a channel.
For more details about the supplied remote control functions, refer to this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00260979
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony!

Great TV just one issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the earlier version of this same TV so, when it was damaged, I replaced it with the same model. The picture if fantastic, it integrates easily with my surround sound system. Controls are easy to use. I use an OTA antenna and this unit has an excellent tuner and also gets the next gen channels very well. My one complaint is that when I watch OTA tv, this tv does not have the capacity to pause the program or to back up and review what just happened (instant replay). Many cheaper models do have that capacity and I was surprised that this tv didn't. But that did not keep me from buying the exact tv again so make what you want of that!

Posted .Hello JerryC,
It's fantastic to hear you chose to replace your previous Sony TV with the new BRAVIA 8! We're thrilled that you're finding the picture quality fantastic, that it integrates seamlessly with your surround sound, and that the controls are easy to use. It's also great to know our tuner is delivering excellent performance, especially with next-gen channels.
We sincerely appreciate your candid feedback regarding the lack of a pause or instant replay feature for over-the-air (OTA) TV. We understand that this is a highly convenient feature found on some other models, and we recognize your surprise. Your insights are incredibly valuable, and we continuously evaluate user feedback like yours as we develop future product features and updates.
Despite this one point, we're genuinely delighted that the overall excellence of the BRAVIA 8 led you to purchase it again. Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and honest review.
We truly value your loyalty!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony Social Media Team.

Stunning
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently upgraded to this Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED, and it has completely transformed my home viewing experience. The picture quality is absolutely stunning—deep, true blacks, vibrant colors, and incredible clarity. Movies, sports, and even regular TV look more lifelike than ever. The motion handling is super smooth, so fast-paced action scenes look flawless. The sound quality really surprised me too. The Acoustic Surface Audio+ makes it feel like the sound is coming directly from the screen, which adds a lot of immersion without needing a soundbar right away. The Google TV interface is easy to use, responsive, and makes finding content across all my streaming apps very simple. I also like how quickly it connects with my smart home devices and voice commands. Design-wise, it’s sleek and minimal with very thin bezels, so it looks gorgeous mounted on the wall. Setup was straightforward, and everything worked smoothly out of the box. Overall, this TV is definitely premium. It’s perfect for movie nights, gaming, and everyday use. Worth every penny if you’re looking for top-tier OLED quality with smart features built in.

Sony Bravia 8
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After careful research, we went to BB to look over my top 3 choices for a new TV. An associate, Braeden, helped us choose the Bravia 8 TV after asking where the TV will be located, near windows, in a light or dark room etc. Our choice became clearer as we looked at other sets. Upon installation, all the research and guidance helped us purchase the correct TV for our room. Superior color, super thin unit, very easy setup, and the remote is user friendly. We are extremely happy!

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.

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

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.

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.
