We went to a 2 TV household and decided to go the OLED route. We are impressed with our LED Sony XBR 65Z9D so stayed with the brand. The A8H is easy to set up. The picture quality is fantastic. It almost looks like 3D in some scenes. It has plenty of tweaks to customize the picture to your environment and preferences. The sound is great, coming from the screen. Sony processors do a great job upscaling content to provide the best picture. We are not gamers so cannot comment on gamer concerns. Regular TV viewing looks natural and smooth. OLED Pros: You don’t lose much picture quality with off center viewing. Thin and light Cons: Still a bit pricy, but coming down. Risk of burn in, they say.

This TV is amazing. My first 55" Sony 4k OLED tv. After about two months of use I can say this TV has little to no flaws. The induction speakers (the sound comes though the screen, no visible speakers) sound great. The colors are amazing. The setup is quick and easy. Best part is that the Android Tv OS is fast and responsive. Casting is easy and setting up Google assistant is easy. The remote is great. Has a dedicated "TV" button that can be reassigned. I assigned it turn on my PS5. It controls my Sony soundbar, and gaming system. The color science is unmatched blacks are crazy black and the colors are super vibrant. It has a calibrated netflix mode thats great. The sound profiles are awesome. Dolby atmos support is great for all streaming platforms. There are so many features it's kinda overwhelming. Overall I'm extremely happy with this TV.

I have had this TV for one month so here is my experience with the Sony 55" A8H. Application selection/loading is easy. I don't have a cable TV subscription but I use streaming apps like Netflix, Prime, HBO Max and Disney. App performance is excellent. If you use VPN you can add the TV to your VPN services. I have attached a Polk soundbar but I use it only when I want an immersive kind of movie experience. I needed the soundbar for my previous TV because I could not get the baseline that I like on the audio, but I don't have that issue with this TV so frequent use of the soundbar is not necessary. Wall mounting was not possible so I mounted the Bravia on a Perlesmith Universal Swivel TV base so that I could use my existing corner TV stand. Set up instructions stipulate that you need two people to lift this. Yes, you do need two people because you cannot risk damage to the screen and the TV is simply too big/awkward to lift by yourself if you are short (like me). Apart from having to call a friend to lift the Bravia onto the TV stand, the set up was easy, the TV itself is beautiful, the picture is outstanding and and the sound is satisfying. I am watching WAY to much TV.
