[@MrKomninakis]

[@jayallen7368]

Got mine about 3 weeks ago just amazing tv coming from plasma zt 60

[@alantaylor2]

very helpful thank you 👍🏻.

[@Codestud]

Great timing on your review Dan, I just saw this in a store next to its A95L sibling, and I was surprised how good it is. The A95L still has the edge but this gets close. One negative however, is that I'm a Freesat viewer and Sony TVs have very patchy support for it, and with this new 2024 model you'd have to get an external box like a Manhattan, or just get Sky Q/Sky Stream if you're happy paying for it.

[@Adrianek81]

When it comes to freesat or aerial tv sony has the best sdr upscaling ever✌️

[@TROW-163]

I like Sony TVs, but one problem they’re just too expensive

[@Wabbit_Hunta]

@@TROW-163 Sony = Quality built in, they don't use cheap compnents as some other manufacturers do. I've still got a sony TV in my bedroom, a 42 inch, from 10 years ago. Unfortunately due to built in memory etc, and apps getting removed by Sony along with no further updates coming for a now outdated TV it's time for a new one. Sound and picture quality are still great, but these new smart TV's have everything I need, so no need for additional boxes etc

[@Adrianek81]

Great video and great oled tv,many thanks✌️

[@emotionfields]

What's with the sudden changes in brightness and clicking sounds between 21:50 and 22:00? Also, can you do a comparison with a comparable TV?

[@davidfpv8299]

What is the size ob Box? Try to take it with my Car.😅

[@tjf7101]

Is it just me or does the Bravia 8 seem dark and blue? Saw one at the store. Thought the reflection handling was poor. But maybe it was just the set up at the store that was hurting it.

[@Andrew.Anthony.Rodriguez.0.]

How does this sound when the TV is calibrated?

[@ДмитрийРомашко-в6н]

👍👍👍👍 Please tell me the price for this miracle of technology?

[@TellyDan]

£1999 in the UK at the moment

[@TROW-163]

@@TellyDan what about a TCL 55 four series Google TV? I’m waiting for its review.

[@TellyDan]

@@TROW-163 I'm getting a few tcl tvs in and the tcl 855

[@TROW-163]

Do they have Google TV built -in?

[@Andrew.Anthony.Rodriguez.0.]

​@@TROW-163. Yes it does.

[@avinashnsa89]

Is it backlit remote?

[@haroon707]

Anybody can tell me about the experience of using this tv watching videos from hard drive.. thanks

[@HiKielLiHi]

I’m getting rid of my LG C3 and getting the Sony Bravia 8

[@ericmwitimwiti3963]

IS IT CAMERA OR THE FUTURE IS GETTING DARKER???....pics are way too dark

[@TellyDan]

I think camera, the tv can go really bright. I do my best to represent it as I see it but it's always best to see one in person

[@useru1154]

whats the difference between the XR80 XR82 and XR83?

[@vmal04]

C'est le même modéle c'est juste pour les pays le XR80 est pour l'Europe (France)

[@GeorgeDisney]

Does the ethernet speed increased in 2024 models? It was 100mbps

[@nickhickson8738]

Surely that's to do with your Broadband supplier not the TV?

[@GeorgeDisney]

​@@nickhickson8738no its not. 2023 tvs like sony, samsung and lg uses 100mbps ethernet input.

[@GeorgeDisney]

​@@nickhickson8738ethernet ports for tvs are gapped to 100mbps

[@GeorgeDisney]

@@nickhickson8738 No it is not the provider, tvs still have 100mbps wlan port. At least until 2023 models

[@adammullen2785]

@@GeorgeDisney use a usb with ethernet connection to get over 100mb

[@nickhickson8738]

Excellent review Dan but a bit too complicated a TV for an octogenarian, I'm afraid but that's the way things are going. I'm still not keen on these OLED pictures tbh.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Not at all, Sony are one of the best out of the box For the casual user like you there's not much to adjust

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

How are you not keen on OLED pictures? 😄 What's bad about it

[@TellyDan]

Hi nick, I think you'd get your head around it fairly quickly also I think if saw one of these in a store on standard picture mode not vivid you'd be quite impressed

[@nickhickson8738]

@@ArtVandelayOfficial Too swamped with unnatural blackness at the expense of reality. Prefer QLED any day. especially for viewing in bright environments. Unlike a lot of people I don't watch TV in a dark room. or nearly darkened room.

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Yo Dan😊

[@TellyDan]

Yo michael 😀

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

@TellyDan Hey buddy hope all is good with you.

[@LeadSails]

I kinda like it but the TV is still too thick compared to Samsung and LG's offerings.

[@valentinnikolov793]

Are you gonna sit on top of it????

[@LeadSails]

@@valentinnikolov793 no i’m wall mounting it to be flush on the wall.

[@mgaming7]

Specs: Sony Depth without stand: 1.5" Samsung: Depth without stand: 1.8" so, 1.5" is "too thick" ? k

[@LeadSails]

@@mgaming7 Samsung S95D is 0.44” and mounts flush to the wall with the Samsung slim wall mount. LG G4 is 0.94” and also mounts flush to the wall. If you’re gonna comment do your research on all competitor offerings available.
