Reviews around feature (4.33 of 5)

  • 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

  • n’t work

  • Because of its very good blacks, excellent contrast and brightness, this is also a great TV to put in a brightly lit room
  • I like the larger screen, the sharper resolution especially for my computer, and the 100% contrast with OLED

Reviews around sound (3.86 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around quality (3.75 of 5)

  • n’t work
  • A virtually nonexistent bezel and outstanding build quality make the Sony as simple, elegant, and impressive as you'd expect from a top-of-the-line TV
  • Disappointed as I understood stand issue was fixed for 2018
  • There is no observed banding or posterization at all given good quality input
  • TV has very good picture quality but built-in android and apps are painful to use because of stability and performance issues

Reviews around sony (3.75 of 5)

  • Since this is not a comparison review, I'll just mention what the Sony does so well
  • After years of inexpensive big box TV brands, this Sony has spoiled me for anything else!
  • The clerk told me that this Sony XBR55A8F was the best overall as far as image clarity, and when I compared the two, Sony was clearest picture by far
  • Sony doesn't appear to be bothered by this, and I'm not either
  • This might be the ONLY reason to choose OLED over an LED TV, like Sony's 900F (which I also own)

Reviews around color (3.70 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around star (3.44 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around image (3.22 of 5)

  • 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.
