Sound Quality
Customers are highly satisfied with the sound quality of the Sony BRAVIA 8 Smart Google TV. They find it to be impressive, filling the room with distortion-free audio that is even better than expected. Some customers have mentioned using a soundbar for an optimal audio experience but overall, the internal speakers exceed expectations. The technology used in the TV, such as Acoustic Surface Audio+ and Auto-Calibration, contribute to the excellent sound quality.
Cable Management
Customers generally have positive feedback regarding the cable management feature of the TV. They appreciate the inclusion of waffle pattern inserts on the rear panel to help hide cables and maintain a clean look. Some users mention that the feet are easy to install and provide adequate support, while others note that the setup process can be complex. Overall, customers find the cable management system effective and convenient.
Picture Quality
Customers are generally positive about the picture quality of the TV, praising its exceptional color accuracy, vibrant and crisp images, and top-notch brightness. However, some have noted that it may suffer from stutter on low frame rate content and that it is a noticeable step down from more expensive models in terms of picture quality.

Price
Overall this is a fantastic choice for the price.
I wasn’t looking to spend this much on a tv, but so far every penny has been worth it.
I think a product of this cost shouldn't skimp on a user manual.
I can't address reliability or comparative price, just what i feel and what i see with my own eyes.
Shipping
Arrived promptly and did all they were supposed to do.
Two days after the sony 55-inch arrived, we had it up and running in our kitchen dining area.
Delivery to me took over a week filled with trouble, that cost one star.
Amazon delivered quickly and were nice enough to not just leave it on my porch.
Packaging/appearance
The simple stuff first; it comes extremely well packaged and well branded on the box.
Unpacked 77 inch sony tv, placed on stand, plugged it in and inspected for damage.
The packaging was easy to open with scored areas on the front.
Pretty well packaged (although it strangely did not have a protective film over the screen).
Competitiveness
This tv replaces my previous model year tv, the somewhat equivalent the bravia xr a80l from 2023.
While it is a noticeable step down from the still 30% more expensive 2023 a95l qd-oled, it still offers fantastic picture quali... Read More
It doesn't make sense to compare it to the 'flagship' bravia 9 because the bravia 9 is a massive step backwards in picture quality.
Sony is not the only manufacturer to do this, but six seems excessive (sony picture core, netflix, disney+, prime video, crunch... Read More
