Sony-65” class Bravia XR8B OLED TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this for a week now and the picture is awesome. The sound is also decent (I did not get a sound bar as I already have a surround sound system by Sony). Tim at my local store was awesome as well as he spent over an hour talking me through the differences between brands. Delivery was quick and went off without a hitch.

Sony Smart TV experience.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy does not play games when they announce that they are running an end of the year sale for the entire store or when reduce the ticket price by 20% or 50% of the ticket price. I just bought a 65 inch BRAVIA SONY smart TV. It was a major update for what I had before. The Geek squad came on time, the installed the new bright color new set and took their time over the features of the Sony TV. The Sales Consultant who was covering the Electronic section(Ash), was very friendly and he demonstrated an in depth knowledge of the product. He took his time going over the features and asked if I had more questions. My trip to Best Buy was the (Best) thing I did that day.

Overpriced and under impressive. Sony has lost it.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not remotely worth the price. Terrible eARC implementation. OLED looks are great, but the Pixel Shift feature required to prevent burn in (or "image retention") sizes down the screen about 5%. Unreliable Dolby Atmos integration with a SONY STR-DH790 receiver. Sony no longer is bringing worthwhile value on Low to Mid-Tier Screens.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi matt1138,
We apologize that you are encountering frustrating issues with the eARC and Dolby Atmos integration on your 65" BRAVIA XR8B OLED and your Sony receiver. We recommend starting with a simple troubleshooting step: please try performing a power reset on both the TV and the STR-DH790 receiver (unplug both for two minutes, then reconnect and power on). Please also verify that the eARC setting on the TV is set to Enhanced. Regarding Pixel Shift, this feature is standard for all OLED screens to prevent image retention, but if it is overly noticeable, you can adjust or disable it in the Display & Sound > Expert panel settings menu. If these initial steps do not resolve the connectivity issues, please contact our dedicated support team immediately so we can provide in-depth, specific assistance for your setup.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Just buy it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is great. I wish i got it sooner. Amazing quality, the sound spatial recognition is great. I was worried about using the mount instead of a wall mount but they are good quality and my tv is stable. The responsiveness between consoles is great. Visuals are amazing, the darkest darks. When there is no feed on the black screen you cant even tell its on aside from the logo. The glare is minimal on the tv also!

Great tv
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had a different OLED TV that really bothered my eyes. After doing research I realized this is the Bravia 8 minus some contrast feature. I loved the look of the 8 in store so I took a chance and saved a few hundred to get this model and it is exactly what I wanted. I can’t speak for the sound because I use a soundbar but the speakers facing out is a neat idea.
