Bravia 8 will not turn ON when off overnight.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am writing a 1-star review about the power-on issue with my THREE different, recently delivered Sony Bravia 8's. At the bottom of this review, I will talk about the 5-star experience I have had with the Bravia 8 and the Best Buy Total membership. The issue is that if the TV is turned off (using the power button on the remote), and sits idle for several hours, it will not turn on again by using the remote or by pressing the mechanical power button under the TV. There are two ways to get it to turn back on: 1. Unplug it and re-plug it back in. Wait about 15 seconds until you hear the sound of a relay clicking, then use the power button on the remote to turn it on. 2. Leave the TV plugged in. Press and hold the mechanical power button under the TV for about 40 seconds. Release the button. Wait until you hear the relay click two times. Then use the power button on the remote to turn it on. Best Buy exchanged my Sony Bravia 8 three times over the course of three weeks. All three TV's have the same issue. Here are the steps that I have taken to troubleshoot it: 1. I have tried using different power outlets in my home on different circuits and the problem persists. 2. I have gone into the Eco Dashboard and disabled all three features which will automatically turn off the TV. These are the inactivity timeouts and the no-signal timeouts. I set all three of them to "NEVER". 3. I have updated the TV to the latest software. I want to keep the TV because the picture is outstanding and I love Google TV. In comparison, I have tried and disliked the more expensive Samsung S95D. I thought that the colors on the Samsung were too saturated by default, and the Tizen OS was an utter mess. Since I want to keep the TV, here is my WORKAROUND for eliminating the power-on issue: In normal everyday use, NEVER TURN IT OFF. Just turn the picture off. Using the remote, there is a "quick setting" control whereby you can turn off the picture with just two button presses. (See the attached photo.) This is akin to turning off the monitor on a desktop computer. The power consumption is minimal. Probably about the same as turning off the TV since a TV continues to consume power even when turned off. This seems to me like an issue with the power circuitry, as though some timer kicks in or an electrical charge builds up on the capacitors. I am thinking that there might be a software fix for this. I would be glad to work with Sony on diagnosing the issue. (Best Buy does not really troubleshoot this sort of thing. They will just swap it out.)

Fantastic Picture.

What a difference. The black level is incredible and the off angle viewing is totally different. Sony is the best —- I have 12 of them in the house and this one is by far the best.
