I compared it with the models of other brands, they are not even close.3. 5 cents back to the smart feature: the remote control plays very well via HDMI (HDMI-CEC feature)
The Sony Bravia line represents some of the best technology Sony has to offer, and I can appreciate the intelligent design and features that went into this model, and I expect it to provide years of use for me and my family
Disappointed as I understood stand issue was fixed for 2018
n’t work
You won't be able to pass-through TrueHD, but it's a known limitation of ARC.In nutshell, don't buy this TV if you're looking for the smart features
because the built-in speakers on these large TVs don’t produce loud-enough sound
If you want really good bass and clear sound, you are going to want to use external speakers, but the overall sound was not bad at all, especially at low to medium volumes, and there is actually some low end to be heard from the built in speakers
The sound is not bad from the built in speakers, and Sony uses some technology that uses your screen to amplify the audio
Beautiful sound and picture, but one star for destroying an expensive piece of furniture and Sony’s refusal to take responsibility for their defective design.
I haven’t watched 4K yet, but I can only imagine!The sound is very good and adjustable with an equalizer and surround settings
I have had to reboot the TV on several occasions to restore normal play including a freaked out color screen (only reds and blues)
After fiddling with the settings and watching a lot of different stuff from different sources—cable, Netflix, Hulu, etc., the Sony does seem to have a better picture, but sometimes not as bright and the colors seem dim
After changing the picture mode to "Custom" or "Cinema Pro", the colors and contrast appear to be correct without the extra contrast/color processing and the color of white is correct.
it's not a accurate color template for the picture displayed
This is a very intense and (soon) tiring experience with exaggerated colors and textures, which is definitely not what the director intended
If you like a sharp pix with image detail & sharp edges, great color with natural skin tones, best up scale in the business with no shadow detail issues(ABL) with all the advantages of oled than Sony oled is for you
Most people don’t know that Sony oleds are used by most if not all production companies as their monitors to get the best detail possible while filming!!

Best Picture Color and Detail ever
Sony’s new A8F series OLED TV has stunning sharpness and detail
There are things about it that I considered knocking a star, but I just couldn't knock a full star because of how happy I am with the picture quality.
I would not necessarily drop a star (from its rating) for this as it doesn’t annoy me but some people who may have to constantly change TV ‘source’ or change other TV settings, may need some time to get used to the various menu options
There are things about it that I considered knocking a star, but I just couldn't knock a full star because of how happy I am with the picture quality.
The image is sharp, the colors are gorgeous and the black white distinction is almost eye wateringly intense
Sony offers a few different settings for "enhancing" the look of the image with it's MotionFlow, and you may like it or you may want to turn it off if you think the image looks too "fake"
The image is just so good, the TV has a lot of features, and once you figure out where everything is, it's really easy to operate, and you don't need to purchase something like a Roku to watch third party video content, although you definitely can do that since devices like the 4k Roku Ultra offer more than this TV does for advanced users
I have yet to notice any sign of burn-in or even any faint image retention at all.
Slight tilt to screen on base, and no gap below TV for cordsLack of upper edge sensorSome setup difficulties, particularly with GooglePrice to value is still skewedNo right hand plugspop-on pop-off covers are odd and clunky to use"Hide your cables" back means you better be set on what boxes you want plugged inYou are paying a premium to have cutting edge techonology, and the paperthin screen is a little nerve wracking to shift and lift, but the image is flawless and has a shine that is simply breathtaking.
