    Tv works great but Apple TV function does not allow purchases and does not support Apple casting - need to buy an Apple TV box to really use it correctly.

      Hi, TomH,

      Thanks for the review and the thought regarding the apple casting function. We appreciate feedback and it definitely will be taken in consideration for future references. Although, we are delighted to hear that your BRAVIA is delivering as expected. Delivering over 8 million self-lit pixels, which are precisely controlled to produce pure black with high brightness.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a nice day!

    It has been almost a month since the Geek Squad set up my TV on 11/27 and it is still not working (sometimes no volume, or no picture). Another Geek Squad tried to re-program my Harmony on 12/5 but they did not have a computer with Windows. They said they would be back soon and I still haven't heard from them. I now have another Geek Squad appointment on 12/24. If they cannot get my Harmony set up we will have to explore returning it.

    Recently purchased this Bravia8 TV and it’s been a nightmare. The first day after it was installed I turned it off and went to the store. When I came back the tv was on. A few days later the tv would turn off and back on. Then it would turn off and reboot itself or try to turn on but would click on off on off etc. At times the picture would freeze yet you could still hear talking. Sony support instructions said to unplug it for 1 minute and plug in again. The picture is too dark. Night scenes of a movie you can barely see anything. I contacted Sony Support and the person helping me took over control of my remote and disabled a few things that were never turned on in the first place. She even attempted to brighten the screen. A couple days after that the tv started turning it self off and on again. Well that was it. I contacted Best Buy and purchased another tv (Samsung) in exchange for this one. I once thought Sony had one of the best tvs but not so much now. It’s quality has definitely changed. Best Buy understood my issues and assisted me with a smooth exchange.

Secondly in certain scenes, there is picture shuttering. Lastly the picture too dark for my liking, besides that I loved the picture. I personally ended up returning it.

      Hi Timothy,

      We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with the BRAVIA 8 OLED TV has been severely impacted by constant reboots and boot failures, despite the incredible picture quality. This behavior is certainly not typical for our products, and we want to help you resolve it. As a first step, please ensure your TV's software is updated to the latest version, detailed steps here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00028577. Stability improvements are often included in these updates. If the reboots persist after updating, try unplugging the TV from the wall for five minutes and plugging it back in. If hard resets continue to be necessary, please contact our support team immediately at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US to investigate potential hardware issues under warranty.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

My wife and spent 3 days off of work to have these tv’s delivered. We even purchased the extended warranty just in case the tv failed again! Instructions as to set up tv are very poor. There are no simple instructions to operate tv even to get basic channels. When you call support they have no idea how to explain how to operate the remote. Their instructions that they follow do not even relate to the tv that I have purchased.

    After having the TV for 3 months the sound went out on it. Since it still has a manufactured warranty I had to go through Sony for the repairs. Sony scheduled to come out to replace the speakers in the TV site unseen so this is a known issue. The problem is, the part is on back order and they have no idea when it will be available. Now we have a TV hanging on the wall useless until this part comes in. I will never purchase a Sony TV again. The quality of the picture means nothing if you can’t hear the TV

    The Sony Bravia 8 has more negative reviews on other sites than Best Buy so do your research. The TV worked well for 1 week. After a week electronics issues surfaced including not being able to select an HDMI input and issues with linking to WiFi. Fortunately Best Buy agreed to take it back and exchange it for an LG C5. The C5 has a noticeably brighter picture. Also, the GoogleTV interface is not good.
