First I thought a Samsung and upon seeing the quality of the product I quickly returned it. I read a lot about the Sony and was convinced it was going to work well. And boy does it work well. The colors are gorgeous the blacks are true black. And the quality of the workmanship is amazing. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reasonable oled

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it!! Got some grief from a few friends for “overpaying” for the Sony brand, but I am happy with it. Deep blacks, high refresh rate, quick responsiveness, picture quality is amazing, got it on sale, and it’s a Sony!! It does have reflections and not the brightest, but works great in my TV room.

Best TV on the market
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily the best TV I have ever seen. Was in awe at the store, and have stayed in awe at home watching fresh 4K HDR content. Previously had a Visio P Series with 1000~ local dimming zones, and it does not hold a candle to the incredible colors and blacks this TV produces. OLED is the way .

Sony oled is unmatched!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony oled picture quality is unmatched! My current setup is a 65" bravia 8, a ps5 pro for games, a panasonic ub820 4k blu ray player and a 5.1 surround sound system. After some pretty quick and painless setup, I can say I'm incredibly happy with the result. The bravia 8 gets brighter than previous Sony oled panels, includes significantly more gaming features but also demands a hefty price. If you're looking for the utmost quality, though, you absolutely can't go wrong with the bravia 8.

Always pleased with it. New apartment and time to upgrade. Purchased this model several weeks ago from a Best Buy store. I am more than pleased. Brilliant OLED picture. The price was higher than the LG series. I made the correct decision by paying the Sony Bravia 8 65 “. This model receives a strong buy recommendation.

Not so smart TV.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I titled this as a not so smart TV. I’m not sure if it is a lack of communication between my cable set top box and the Google TV OS or just the TV itself. When I first received the TV and got it connected, for some reason it took over a week for my TV to recognize the cable network’s programming. I was limited to using my 4K BD player to watch shows or movies. After that period, it finally recognized I was on a cable network. Now that it finally recognizes the cable programming, I’m having a problem with the TV instantly turning on the cable network. When I turn it on the set top’s remote, the TV goes to the Google TV homepage and I need to use the TV’s original remote to select the HDMI port to turn on the programming. The clarity of the picture is pretty amazing even with the standard set top box and not the 4K set top box. The cable provider was out of stock of 4K set tops. I was a little disappointed in the default color setting with the skin tones at times because there was a touch too much magenta. This was intermittent and not apparent all the time. I have noticed some stuttering of fast motion images in some instances. This is also intermittent and not apparent consistently. It was obvious in watching “The Kingsman” on my 4K BD player when they had the skydiving scene but not in the rest of the movie. It also happened when watching a PBS British mystery program when the characters were running. It was very brief but noticeable. The default sound from the TV’s speakers are incredible for coming from a TV. The sounds are clear and has amazing bass for TV speakers. Hearing speech volume is no problem and even with loud background music, explosions, etc., speech is pretty much crystal clear. I listened to many different TV’s in the showroom and Bravia 8 had the best sound by far as compared to LG and Samsung equivalents. One problem that occurs occasionally is that the TV seems to arbitrarily switch from my sound bar to the TV’s speakers. I have read online reviews that state this is on of the few TV’s that you can play the TV’s speakers simultaneously with the sound bar. I have not figured out how to do this. My last issue is the lack of a real user manual with the TV. The manual that came with was pretty useless. It just had installation and how to clean the screen instructions. I needed to go to YouTube to find instructions on how to connect the Bluetooth to my earbuds.

Posted .Hi TheUsualSkeptic,
Thank you for sharing your honest review. We're happy that you are overall happy with the excellent picture and sound quality of the TV. Your feedback regarding the manuals and connectivity issues are greatly appreciated. Depending on the TV settings, the Home screen will be displayed when the TV is turned on. If you prefer your TV to power on with the last watched TV channel or external input instead, you can change the TV startup behavior to Last input.
To set the Power on behavior to the Google TV Home screen or last input (last selected external input or TV channel), press the Quick Settings (gear or spanner icon) button on the remote control → Select Power on behavior, and then select Last input.
The next time the TV is turned on, the TV broadcast channel or external input such as HDMI that you were watching before turning off the TV will be displayed.
For more details, you may refer to this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00257833
In addition to setting various settings related to the TV display such as noise reduction, motionflow, and cinemotion settings for picture quality to smooth out any content, picture quality also depends on the signal and content. You can also select the appropriate picture mode for your Google TV according to the content you are watching such as movies or sports to enhance your viewing experience.

Gorgeous, colorful, fast TV
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this TV. The color is incredible, I find it plenty bright, and the controls and menus are fast. In a dark room, a space movie like Alien looks unreal! Animated movies like Ghibli look like eye candy. It's easy to quickly adjust settings and presets with the quick-settings that pop up on the bottom of the screen. Build quality is premium with a glassy screen. Very easy to move with 2 people (don't try on your own!) and the easy-to-access the ports on the left side. The tv stand is perfect because you can adjust it to be wide or narrow to fit any TV stand, and also prevents any sort of wobble (good for cats). Sound is the best built-in sound I've ever heard on a TV, so if you aren't an audiophile and don't plan to set up a huge sound system, it's wonderful. I used to only use Samsung TVs (10-15 years ago) but I'm sure anyone with a Samsung can relate that they're frustratingly slow and laggy. I got rid of both my Samsung TVs after getting this, because it's so much faster, clearer, and more colorful that I can't use them anymore. Only minor complaints about the TV are that initial setup was annoying (especially with Google), and at first it was having some bug with freezing occasionally, however I think a software update from a few months ago fixed it as it hasn't done this in months. So happy with it that I moved it to the bedroom and am getting a 77 inch for the living room!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this TV. I've had Samsung LED tv's and a Vizio 4k tv and going to OLED was a great upgrade. The interface is easy to use and fast. Voice remote with Google works well. I recommend setting the picture to professional and set things to expert 1. Tweak things from there for your desired brightness. The TV is in a darker livingroom so brightness isnt an issue. Having only one HDMI 2.1 isnt a problem since I'm using a Denon receiver. Great picture quality. Im so glad I bought this TV!
