The Sony Bravia 8 is Sony's 2024 mid-range OLED TV, combining a WOLED panel with Sony's picture processing and screen-as-speaker audio. Reviewers call it a refined, natural-looking set rather than a leap forward, and owner complaints so far are isolated firmware and panel glitches rather than widespread failures.

On the evidence gathered here, yes. 82% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 8.0 out of 10 two years in. Picture quality is the reason owners recommend it.
Owners still praise the picture and built-in sound. Annoyances are occasional firmware hiccups, not hardware worries.
A firmware update brought stuttering on broadcast and other inputs. A few owners report on-screen lines that come and go. Support threads often end with no fix from Sony.

Gives full marks for picture and sound and calls the set a refinement of the A80L, faulting its average upscaling and only two HDMI 2.1 inputs.
