Sony A8G 55" Class HDR 4K UHD Smart OLED TV (2019)

Excellent TV for a variety of uses. The perfect blacks of the emissive display result in excellent dark room performance. In a bright room, the reflection handling is excellent. Motion handling is also excellent due to the instantaneous response time, which is great for sports or gaming.

• +

  Excellent dark room performance, Instantaneous response time, Accurate image even when viewed at an angle

• -

  May be a risk of permanent burn-in ( ), 1080p input lag is mediocre

If you’re shopping for a new TV, you probably fall into one of two camps: someone who wants to spend less than $1,000 or someone who wants the best picture quality they can get, price be damned.

• +

  Excellent picture quality, Deep blacks, and rich colors, with wide viewing angles, Sleek design

• -

  More expensive than LG OLEDs, Horribly slow user interface, Poor performance streaming content

Sony's A8G series of 4K OLED TVs is among the most affordable we've seen, with superlative contrast but less-than-ideal color out of the box.

• +

  Perfect black levels for strong contrast performance. Wide color range. Android TV is powerful.

• -

  Colors run cool without tuning. Clunky remote. No hands-free Google Assistant.

The Sony A8F is the A1 in a new form factor. The TV has fantastic picture quality and the sound is good too. Movie watchers and gamers alike will truly enjoy consuming content on this TV.

• +

  Well built, Fantastic movie viewing experience, 4K gaming is a treat, Good sound output

• -

  Remote control needs to evolve, Android TV OS needs to improve, Same performance and specs as the A1, OLED panels in general are quite reflective

I had it for over a month, and I am enjoying it everyday. It has almost everything built in, for a very thin screen. It is pricey, but worth it. Also, the sound quality is so good, you don't even need a sound bar, that's my opinion.

All movies look great on this TV, even old movie, a new viewing experience! I'm now watching more TV than ever.

  Attractive, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Energy Efficient, Good Audio, Great Picture Quality, Simple Controls

My husband purchased this tv set about 3 weeks ago and we love it but we have not figured out a way to save the audio settings. We listen to music and adjust the settings but when we shut the tv set for the night, we have to reset the settings again when we turn it on the next day.

The picture is extremely vivid. You feel Ike you're looking out of a window. Movies make you feel like you're in them. Excellent quality!

Just fired it up last night. Love the picture, and the sound is terrific. Replacing a LG EF-9500 OLED. Really cant wait to try out HDR on this set. Ill repost again after I have time to toy with video settings. BTW this TV is a solid build, my LG was really flimsy the way it mounted to the stand.

This is one of the best tv.The young man that help me was very very nice and knowledgeable.

  Complicated Controls

I had this installed along with a Sony AV receiver. The picture, and sound, is awesome. I was going to go with a Samsung, but was blown away with a side by side comparison of the two. I have used Sony products (and Samsung as well) for years and if I have a choice, I'll go Sony every time.
