Amazing TV especially for PS5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this OLED TV about 2 months ago, and so far its been amazing. The google interface is easy to navigate and customize. The picture quality is excellent. The PS5 looks stunning when playing. You will have to mess with a couple of settings to be able to use the 120hz refresh, but its super easy to do. I highly recommend buying this tv.

Bravia 2024
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have regrets buying other brands over the years. This basically replaces my cable box allowing me to save a little money, is fast, amazing picture, plenty of settings to test out. Remote is not backlit, small in my hand and I am purchasing a new option immediately.

Clean and Crisp
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first new TV in 10 years, and I am completely in love with the TV. The picture is so clear and crisp. I have a PS5 and a Nintendo Switch, and both systems look great on the TV. The TV sound is good on its own, but I am glad that I still have my soundbar.

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.

Sony Bravia 8 is noteworthy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Bravia 8 has an exceptionally good picture. It’s almost 3D and the tech is noticeably different to my 9000 tv I bought 9 years ago and at a much cheaper price. My son games on the tv and he is constantly telling me about all the details, like the light reflection off players hockey breezers which he couldn’t notice before. Just saying it’s worth the money.

OLED is the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.purchased this TV open box as it was drastically reduced in price. was missing pretty much everything. I wanted to like the TV coming from 8 years of using LG OLED TVs. Picture quality was great, but the screen just did not get as bright as I would have liked. The 2 best qualities of this Sony model are the built-in speakers and the Google TV OS. The Google TV OS is so much better than LG WebOS. But in the end, I returned it for a LG C4 for an extra $50 as there was something wrong with the Sony panel. It had vertical lines down the screen on a black screen in SDR. OLED TVs are pitch black when nothing is on the screen. Was not the case with this one.

Great TV! I'd recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this TV for a little over a month now and am very happy with it. The picture quality is pretty amazing actually. Very clear and bright. All the colors are vivid and the darks are dark/nicely contrasted like they should be with the OLED UHD technology. I was a little unsure how it would do in our living room that can be pretty bright/sunny since some of the reviews that I read said the screen can be hard to see in brighter rooms but the picture is still great even when the room is bright from the sun. We're pretty happy!

Fantastic upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality of this TV is amazing. The Bravia 8 is replacing my eight year- old Bravia 4K HD, which still works great (Sony quality). The B-8’s picture is extremely vivid and accurate. It’s in a relatively bright room but the colors still hold up. The audio is great too as you can enhance it for speech, which makes dialog easier to hear. Well worth the price compared to other similar units.
