Sony77 Inch OLED 4K Ultra HD TV BRAVIA 8 Smart Google TV BRAVIA Theater U Wireless Wearable TV Speaker

I hooked up my new TV to my Apple TV 4K and sound system and I thought everything was fine. Then I started getting 1-2 second black outs every 10 minutes or so. I checked Sony support and there was no help there. I posted to the Sony Community and nobody there had any suggestions. But I did find another post about synchronizing video feeds so I set my Apple to 1080p Dolby Vision and got rid of the blackouts. But that didn’t feel right, so I bought a new high end HDMI 4K/8k cable, set my Apple back to 4K Dolby Vision and now everything is fine. Lesson learned, upgrade everything at the same time.That said, this is a beautiful TV and I love it now that I’ve worked the kinks out of my setup. Big thumbs up.

I saw this tv at a competitor’s store and it was next to another Sony. I wasn’t looking to spend this much on a TV, but so far every penny has been worth it. My family that has seen it has commented on the picture quality and color

This is an awesome TV! The sound out of the box is useable, though not great. You probably want to pick up some kind of sound bar to go with it. As far as picture quality, however, and integration with other apps and google home, it's incredible. My last TV was 10 years old, so this was like coming into a new century almost. One thing I really appreciate about the TV is how glare resistant it is. The room I have it in is relatively bright, and I was afraid that would make it more difficult to use during the day, but the brightness and anti-glare/reflection glass does wonders, and makes it useable in any lighting.

Sony doesn't disappoint. This 55" OLED 4k is just the perfect size for my cabinet and the dimensions worked out perfectly to fit the entire space. Also, my family room is not huge, so the 65" or 77" is a bit excessive for my space. The picture quality is amazing - the blacks are deep velvety black. My TV is in a very brightly lit room where glare has been a constant battle for me-- this screen greatly reduces my glare issue.I have a soundbar that has an optic audio port -which is the only way to feed sound out of the TV, but I do not yet have the appropriate cable (sold seperate). So for now I'm using sound straight from internal speakers and have to say - the sound is Way better than I expected. Pretty impressive sound for internal speakers. I love that the sound will Auto-Calibrate for my room size, that was pretty cool.*Hiccup on WiFi Connection. Firstly, I use a 4K Roku as my streaming device, which works with this TV beautifully-- and I have to make sure to change the Roku settings to stream in 4K, and it's just stunning. BUT - I couldn't get the internal WI-FI to connect to my Netgear Nighthawk router, even though my older TV had no issues. I could get it to connect to my Android Phone as a Wi-Fi Hotspot, so I knew the Wi-Fi component was working, but I haven't been able to connect to my router even though it could see my SSID. Had to do a lot of research and turns out it may be because Sony Bravia might not play well with my dual band (2.4ghz and 5ghz) which shares a single SSID. After much research, it seems it might require I configure my router to either split the SSID out, or create a SSID guest connection for just the TV. The suggestion was to enable Simple IP Control, which is a TCP Protocol using IP commands, and not how I want to spend my weekend since I don't know yet how to configure that. So for now- I'm using my Roku the way I always did- and not yet using the built-in Wi-fi features. The 4K Roku is working beautifully with the TV. No manual included other than quick setup sheet. But the Sony site offers a bit more help docs

This is an amazing TV. Sound and picture quality are amazing. I have had Sony in the past, but this replaced a Toshiba fire tv that was 5 years old and starting to have issues. Very easy to set up and add the aps you like to use.

Overall this is a fantastic choice for the price. Its main minus is that it uses Google TV, which has a clunky Android phone feel, and Sony includes a remote that seems a bit basic with lots of small print, and six dedicated launch buttons that link to apps you may not want or subscribe to. Sony is not the only manufacturer to do this, but six seems excessive (Sony Picture Core, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Crunchyroll, YouTube); this clutter takes away space that could be better used for larger volume and mute buttons.Enough about the remote, for the main reason someone is buying this set is for the screen. Initially I was less than impressed by the picture of this set, for when I compared it side by side with another major brand and similarly priced OLED TV, the picture of the Sony was a bit darker, and I was unable to adjust it to even equal.Fortunately the set notified of a software upgrade that was pending download and application. That took several minutes, but after that was complete the picture was noticeably improved. Brightness and warmth it had lacked before, now looked great, and it became my favorite picture of the two sets I was comparing. The Sony screen is uniform, extremely sharp and has fantastic dark levels. So whatever you do, be sure to attach it to your wifi and let it apply the latest upgrades. The set allows for four HDMI inputs, of which I'm only using the 3rd one which is designated for eARC. The "TV" button on the remote can be set to that, and your choice of sources off that (i.e. my receiver has a AppleTV and BR Player attached and both showed as options. It passes a great picture and outputs Dolby Atmos on the receiver for great sound.I found that making detailed settings from the BRAVIA app was a big plus. It allows adjustment tweaks, while a show is playing without need to navigate into onscreen menus. Honestly the Sony remote (which I previously indicated my dislike for) will likely go unused, for between the basic controls on my AppleTV remote work for what I want immediate access to, and the rest can be reached from the BRAVIA app or HomeKit app on my phone.In the end this 55" BRAVIA 8 Series has won me over, even with its use of Google TV (Android TV OS v12), for Sony has done a nice job of integrating the sets features into the interface and the hardware keeps it responsive. Sure I wish it was bit larger, for a 65" or 77" set would look great in my living room, but for a small to medium sized room, or apartment this 55" would be perfect. The built in sound is not bad, though do yourself a favor and upgrade to a soundbar, or better yet, external surround speakers. With this set and the right sound system, your next movie night will certainly leave you with a smile.

Nothing but problems
