    Coming from an LG C1, the picture quality of this TV is top tier, when it's working. In the 2 weeks since I've purchased this TV, I've had several instances of the TV automatically restarting...in the middle of watching a show. This occurred when viewing via a connected device (Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen), an internal TV app (Prime Video), and via antenna. Picture quality is phenomenal, Sony Pictures Core is great, Prime Video calibration is fantastic. All of that means nothing if the software is limiting the viewing experience. Lately I've noticed a quick flash of the screen when changing in-between scenes. Maybe it's this model, not sure. Back to LG I go.

    Great TV, love the picture quality but audio is out of sync regularly (once or more per day). A reboot is required, not just powering the TV off and back on. The issue is across all streaming sources, very frustrating.

    I do not like that i have to hold down the fast forward or reverse button. Unlike my other tv's you simply click it to the speed to fast forward then hit play to continue. Is the color great. I think after getting it home i would have been more pleased with the other 77" oled option i was looking at. I purchased because of the brand and reputation, but think i should have gone with my first intuition and purchased the samsung oled, the same brand as my other tv's. Happy, but not overjoyed. Oh, ive had the tv for a few weeks now! I may return it, still contemplating.

    Dont buy Sony if you are going to use Directv streaming. There is a compatibility problem between the Sony and the Google Gemini that Sony uses. There is no fix and neither company is working on it. The TV will reboot everytime you turn it on and that is a real Pain.

      Hi MichaelV,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the BRAVIA 8 TV. We're glad that you like the user-interface and Google software of the TV. Your feedback about the TV screen is greatly appreciated.

      The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology to achieve a high level of performance and picture quality. To achieve this level of performance, the backlight setting of the TV is set to maximize the screen brightness. However, you may notice uneven brightness on the TV when watching in a dark environment or when the screen is blank. This condition is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Adjustments using the TV settings can be done to minimize this condition. It is also recommended to install the latest software version of the TV for optimum performance.

      Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

      -Ralph Sony_US
