The Sony A8G stands out as an OLED TV, delivering impressive contrast, vibrant and true-to-life colors, and excellent motion handling. It excels across various content genres, including movies, sports, TV shows, and gaming. However, its brightness falls behind some competing quantum dot TVs, especially in well-lit living rooms. Undoubtedly one of the top-tier TVs, the Sony A8G may face scrutiny in a market fixated on brightness. The OLED's more subdued nature might not justify the substantial investment for those prioritizing luminosity. Tailor-made for individuals who prefer viewing in darker settings, the A8G's appeal ultimately hinges on your expectations from a premium TV. In summary, the A8G is an exceptional and budget-friendly OLED TV. While it may lack brightness, its remarkable picture processing compensates with astounding accuracy, purity, and naturalism. While there are pricier OLED TVs on the market, the A8G presents itself as a splendid compromise for those who don't mind a slightly dimmer viewing experience.

This TV is perfect. Easy to set up and use. Picture quality is better than LG's .Just ignore 2 star review, additional set top box? what a joke. its not 80's TV.

First off the 4 out of 5 rating that I gave: let me explain why... It’s been about 3 years I have been with “Android Bravia” tvs, since day one Sony Android Smart TV Digital Turner software is just a poor design and just a real annoyance to work with, editing them is painful as it list some 999 empty channels which shouldn’t be visible at all but they are so when you tune it to local broadcast services the tv just randomly throws them in amongst the 999 channels which basically makes it not worth your time to even try to remove unwanted broadcasts stations, this is just a terrible experience for broadcast channel editing. Next is “bloatware” like games, music, videos which should all be optional installs but their not and you can’t remove them. Users also cannot use external hard drives for installing apps on, instead you’re forced to use the limited internal SSD (16GB which is actually less once system installs). Android Security patches and OS Updates... Vastly outdated by months if not a year or more at the worst, this is not excusable as Sony is a multi billion dollar company that can easily afford to pay software engineers to Enhance, patch and update these TV’s. The latest example of this lack of commitment to OS updates is the exclusion of Android 9 to A8G users like myself, Google has design vs 9 to run on hardware with limited resources like Smart TV’s. Some internet articles claim that “Sony” thinks only A9G’s and X850G’s can run Android Pie (9) which is apparently a false claim as Google Engineers say otherwise thus my new 2019 A8G will never receive OS updates not because of hardware specs but because the marketing team at Sony said so, this is not responsible act by such a big company. Finally is that IR remote, it’s 2019/2020 now and other brands have moved to newer Bluetooth remotes. “Google Play” button, I truly believe that most users will never use it and it should be removable with an optional “YouTube” button as most I believe would rather. I also believe that there should be an OLED Panel without any speakers in it as when one is spending this much money we’re gonna get a dedicated home theatre amp and or a decent sound bar, internal speakers are a waste of space and money. Other than what I have said this TV is a good performer from motion handling to colour accuracy, it’s one of the best OLED’s on the market even with its flaws. Thumbs up for me.
