Customers have good things to say about the picture quality, color accuracy, and ease of use of the 77" Class BRAVIA 8 OLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2024). However, some customers reported issues with the TV unexpectedly turning off and on, and a limited number of HDMI 2.1 ports. A few users also mentioned software-related problems, such as freezing or restarting. Overall, the positive feedback on image quality outweighs the negative comments regarding reliability and connectivity.

Although the Samsung was equally intriguing the Sony was ultimately a better option especially considering the price difference!! Also If looking to get any new TV you should budget in a sound bar for the full experience!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for recommending the Sony K77XR80, LukeS! We're glad to hear you found it to be the better option, especially considering the great value it offers compared to other brands.
For the best TV experience, you're absolutely right about the impact of a soundbar. Adding a soundbar or home theater system can significantly enhance your viewing by providing richer, more immersive audio. The K77XR80 supports a range of audio solutions, including Sony’s own soundbars (like the HT-A7000, HT-A5000, HT-A3000, and HT-A9 series) as well as other compatible brands. Connecting via HDMI ARC or optical cable generally provides the best results—just ensure you update your devices to the latest software for optimal performance. If you ever need guidance on compatibility or setup, our support resources are always available to help.
Thank you again for your recommendation—enjoy your Sony TV and the upgraded sound experience! Thanks for choosing Sony!

I would prefer a TV without the “Google” programming embedded. I don’t use Google and I like to go strictly through Apple TV. It would be helpful to have a toggle switch to shut off Google altogether.
- The TV comes with an unpleasant and distracting voice announcement feature turned on - the TV should arrive with this feature turned off.
- The default sound output has no way to switch to my sound system permanently but rather only allows a “ temporary” setting to use the sound system. The built-in TV sound is poor.

Hi Charles, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We understand your concerns regarding the Google features and sound settings on your TV. Google Setup: You do have the option to perform a basic setup without logging into a Google account. This allows you to bypass the Google integration if you prefer to use only your Apple TV. Talkback Feature: The voice announcement you mentioned (Talkback) can easily be turned off. Here are the steps: Press the Quick Settings button on your remote, select Settings > System > Accessibility > Talkback. Then, switch it OFF and press Enter. You can refer to this guide for a detailed walkthrough. Sound Output: To address your sound system issue, please ensure that you’re using a wired connection to your sound system. If the connection is wireless or temporary, the TV may default to its built-in speakers. Once connected via HDMI ARC or Optical cable, you should be able to use your sound system as the permanent audio output. Ensure that the audio output settings on your TV are set to use the audio system. You can find this in the TV settings under Display & Sound > Audio output > Speakers > Audio system. Built-in TV sound: You can customize your TV’s audio settings, including sound quality and sound modes, to fit your preferences by following the steps in this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00302857?utm_source For further assistance with your TV, you may reach out to our team directly through the official Sony support website https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US We hope this information improves your viewing experience. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Maria

Regret buying this TV. In light scenes the picture is amazing but oled is supposed to shine in dark scenes. Unfortunately there are vertical lines or banding that show up in dark scenes especially in panning scenes that are super distracting and completely take away from the picture. Looks like someone ran a paint brush down the screen in most dark scenes, it has terrible screen uniformity. Wish I hadn’t returned an LG C4 for this TV.

Our Sony TV has truly been one of the best purchases we’ve made. The picture quality is crystal clear—vivid colors, sharp details, and an overall viewing experience that feels cinematic.

Hi VivianC,
We are so happy to hear that your 77-inch BRAVIA 8 has become the centerpiece of your media room! It is wonderful to know that the OLED’s high-luminance panel and temperature sensor are effectively managing glare from your windows, allowing those rich, lifelike colors to really shine during the day. We are also glad that the integration with your soundbar is seamless; when paired together, features like Acoustic Center Sync and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping truly bring that authentic movie theater atmosphere home.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Totally blown away with this 77" oled TV. I wasn't really sure about it when I went to replace my 75" Sony xr950 that died unexpectedly. I mean looking at all of the reviews from the major reviewers saying that there were much better panels available that cost less. But I digress. I wasn't really wanting another oled since I had prior bad luck with burn-in with a couple of them. I went in fully expecting to get a Bravia 7 or 9 mini led for my replacement TV. That wasn't what happened. I had the opportunity to have a side-by-side comparison with a 85" Bravia 9 and the 77" Bravia 8 and got to play around with the settings on both . While the Bravia 9 certainly was exceptional and much brighter, I was blown away with the clarity of details and the inky blacks . Yes I know that I'm not a certified calibrator, but I know enough to do a decent job of tweaking a few things to make it look pretty good. Yes the Bravia 9 is excellent, there is no doubt about that, but what I saw side-by-side and couple with the price difference showed a clear winner. Now I know that the Bravia 8 doesn't have all of the settings that the other Sony panels have, and that isn't right IMHO, however I have since concluded that I can live without spending more money to have it professionally calibrated and use that money towards finishing my ceiling atmos speakers install. While my finances aren't a concern to many, I'm quite sure there are others who are in a similar situation and have to weigh the trade offs in the price differences in their decision process. That being said, I am still amazed at the picture quality this set produces. I also suggest that people go to ytube and search for 4k and watch some of the remarkable videos that are shot in 8k and 120fps and really look at them on any set they are considering. The Bravia 8 (atleast on mine) will simply amaze you.

We are absolutely thrilled you're totally blown away by your new 77" OLED, especially after your previous experiences with OLEDs. Your side-by-side comparison with the BRAVIA 9, highlighting the BRAVIA 8's clarity of details and inky blacks, clearly shows why you chose it. We're delighted you're amazed by the picture quality, and your practical approach to value and budget, along with your YouTube content recommendation, is invaluable for others. Thank you so much for sharing your comprehensive and enthusiastic feedback and for choosing Sony! Best regards, -Dominick

The Sony 77" BRAVIA 8 OLED (2024) is a stunning premium TV that delivers an exceptional viewing experience, especially for anyone looking to create a true home-theater feel. Its OLED panel produces deep, perfect blacks, vibrant yet natural colors, and impressive contrast that makes movies and shows look incredibly lifelike. HDR content, including Dolby Vision, really stands out with bright highlights and detailed shadows, and Sony’s processing technology keeps motion smooth and clear without the soap-opera effect. Whether you're watching action scenes, sports, or cinematic films, the picture quality feels refined, sharp, and immersive from virtually any angle.
Gamers will also appreciate what this TV brings to the table. With support for 4K at 120Hz, VRR, and low input lag, gameplay feels responsive and fluid. Fast-moving scenes stay crisp thanks to OLED’s near-instant response time, making it great for competitive titles as well as visually rich single-player games. While other brands may offer a few more gaming-specific features, the overall image quality on this screen is hard to beat for gaming sessions.
Audio performance is surprisingly strong for a TV this thin. Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio+ uses the screen itself to produce sound, which makes dialogue feel like it’s coming directly from the action on-screen rather than below the TV. It’s clean and clear enough for everyday viewing, though pairing it with a soundbar or home theater system will add more depth and punch for movie nights. The design itself is sleek, minimalist, and premium, and the Google TV interface is fast, intuitive, and packed with apps. Built-in Google Assistant, AirPlay, and HomeKit support make it easy to integrate into almost any smart home setup.
The main drawbacks come down to price and the typical considerations that come with OLED technology. This is a high-end TV with a premium cost, and while it performs well in most lighting conditions, some brighter QD-OLED models can get slightly brighter in sun-filled rooms. Like all OLEDs, it’s also wise to be mindful of static images over long periods to avoid potential image retention, though this is less of a concern with modern protections in place. Overall, the Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED is a top-tier choice for anyone who wants cinematic picture quality, excellent gaming performance, and a smart, elegant design. It’s a big investment, but one that truly elevates the viewing experience.

We've had our Bravia 8 for 4 weeks now. We love it!
The build quality is top notch and the Google OS is easy to use. Some reviewers have put this TV lower than it's competitors (C4 & S90D) when it comes to brightness. Our living room is a little brighter than some so I was worried about watching content during a sunny day. 100% not a problem! Does it get LCD bright, no but it's not dim by any means.
The picture is amazing! If you want to see what it can really do, look up the HDR Superchannel on YouTube and you won't be disappointed! I've been re-watching movies also, and they look so much better on this OLED.
