Wasn’t sure of the new tech in tvs were at the time of purchase. I tried to do quick research on new tv tech. Oled seemed like the one to get. This one seemed a fair price with the sale. Still getting used to it.

Frustrated
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really enjoyed the TV. I bought this on December 2nd 2024 on cyber Monday and I really enjoyed the picture quality but tonight I went to watch TV and have 3 blinking red lights (the Internet has me thinking it's something to do with the light source or power.) I have unplugged and replugged it in tried different outlets (everything else currently still works that is plugged into the outlet).

I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Edward, We're glad to hear you're enjoying the BRAVIA 8! The contrast sounds truly impressive, making for an excellent viewing experience. Although it's not the brightest, the quality of the picture you've described more than compensates for that. Picture settings allow a wide array of changes to color, contrast, clarity, and brightness that can improve the viewed content on your Google TV. The picture quality may improve if you change it in [Picture] under [Settings]. Thanks for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess

Color problem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Sony Bravia 65-inch TV in February from Best Buy, expecting a high-quality product. Unfortunately, after only six to seven months of use, the screen's color fidelity has significantly deteriorated, making the TV nearly unusable. I am extremely disappointed with the quality of this product, especially given the price point. This level of performance is unacceptable, and I would not recommend this TV or this particular model to any potential buyers from Best Buy. I hope Best Buy takes note of this review and addresses the quality issues associated with this product. Thank you

Posted .Hello SabbirA,
Thank you for considering Sony products.

We understand your frustration, especially considering the investment you made. Please be assured that your feedback will be shared with the relevant teams to help improve our product quality.
To assist you in resolving this issue, please try the following steps:
Check External Devices: Disconnect all external devices (such as HDMI-connected devices and USB drives) from your TV. Power it on to see if the issue persists. If the problem is resolved, reconnect each device one at a time to identify whether a specific device is causing the issue.

Avoid this TV, its discounted for a reason
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im super disappointed in the purchase, i was very excited the first few days until the TV started turning itself off randomly during gaming sessions or watching football… and it takes forever to reboot itself as well which adds to the frustration for gaming and watching live sports.

Posted .Hi Butters,
Thank you for reaching us with your concern. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by the random turning off of your Sony BRAVIA 8 TV. This is not the experience we want you to have, and we're here to help make this better for you.
We would like to clarify if this issue occurs only from an external source (e.g. Cable box, Signal Channels, Blu-ray Player, PlayStation) or any other external input? or does the issue also happen on the internal apps of the TV? Also, are you noticing any LED lights blinking in a specific pattern at the bottom of your TV? This information could help us with the diagnosis.
In the meantime, please try the steps in this link to help troubleshoot and steps to disable different features that may cause your Android TV™ or Google TV™ to turn on or off automatically: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00114471?utm_source

Buyer beware. A great picture is not everything!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 3 Sony TVs. The salesperson didn’t tell us until after the fact that any one remote will change all 3 TVs. It makes having 3 TVs worthless. Best Buy said ‘oh yes we have that problem in the store also’ and didn’t know how to fix. I wasted a lot of money. I would not buy Sony TVs or fbuy anything rom Best Buy again.

Posted .Hi BethG,
Thank you for reaching us with your concern.
We'd like to apologize for the inconvenience your Sony BRAVIA 8 TVs had caused you and we understand how frustrating it can be to have multiple Sony TVs being controlled by a single remote. This issue occurs because the remote control signals are not unique to each TV, causing interference when multiple TVs are in close proximity.
One potential solution is to disable the Bluetooth on one of the TVs. This can help prevent the remote from controlling multiple TVs simultaneously. Here’s how you can do it:
Access the Settings Menu: Use the remote to navigate to the TV's settings menu.
Select Remotes & Accessories: Find and select the "Remotes & Accessories" option.
Disable Bluetooth: Turn off the Bluetooth setting.
Please note that disabling Bluetooth will prevent the use of certain features, such as voice commands via the mic button on the remote.
Hope this information helps!
If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us directly. You can email the following information to [email protected], and we’ll be happy to assist:

worth it on sale
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED TV is a stunning piece of technology that delivers exceptional picture quality and smart features. Its OLED display provides deep blacks, vibrant colors, and incredible contrast. The Google TV interface is intuitive and offers a wide range of streaming apps and content. Pros: OLED Display: The OLED technology offers superior picture quality with deep blacks, vibrant colors, and excellent contrast. 4K Resolution: The 4K resolution provides sharp and detailed images, making movies and games look incredibly realistic. Smart Features: The Google TV interface is easy to navigate and offers a wide range of streaming apps and content. Gaming Performance: The TV's low input lag and smooth motion handling make it an excellent choice for gaming. Sound Quality: The built-in speakers provide decent sound quality, though a soundbar or external speakers would enhance the audio experience. Cons: Price: OLED TVs are generally more expensive than LED TVs, so the Sony BRAVIA 8 may be out of reach for some budgets. Burn-in Risk: While OLED technology has improved significantly in recent years, there is still a risk of burn-in if the same static image is displayed for extended periods. Conclusion: The Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED TV is a top-tier television that offers exceptional picture quality, smart features, and excellent gaming performance. If you're looking for a premium TV with the best possible image quality, this is a great option. However, while the higher price point may deter some buyers, if you can catch this tv on sale it is well worth it!

TV with Smarts You Actually Want
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When my LG CX failed, I was in the market for something to replace it that still gave me great 4k picture quality and good tech - specifically HDMI 2.1 features - to support gaming. Ended up landing on this Bravia Google TV because the integrated Google interface saves me an HDMI spot and the smart interface performs great with no sluggishness and very familiar if you are coming from a Google Streamer. Only thing keeping this from a 5* is the glass does act like a very good mirror. It still does well in bright rooms, but if you have a light source at the right angle you will see that mirrored on screen. Still, an amazing deal for a TV of this quality
