Sony A8h 55-Inch Tv: Bravia Oled 4k Ultra Hd Smart Tv
As far as picture quality goes, i don’t have any complains. The panel is top notch while sony’s excellent processing provides another real-life quality improvement. Motion smoothing doesn’t leave any obvious artifact, while upscaling works just as you would expect. The picture doesn’t quite ‘pop’ as lg tvs do, but the color is more accurate and is just more comfortable watching. The tv is a little on the more expensive side, compared to lg models, but if you have the budget, you should totally consider it.
What an awesome and amazing unit. We’re not technical audio and video experts by any means. But if the best picture and sound from a tv is tops on your list and of the highest priority, you will not be disappointed with this sony ah8 oled ultra 4k hdtvif you’re a serious or ultimate gamer, lg oled is a better overall choice. But again, if you’re not a gamer like us, this unit is your baby.Absolutely breathtaking and stunning picture and sound quality, right out of the boxthis unit is that great. We tweaked and calibrated the unit a tad, based on my readings, research and technical recommendations. But this was all too easyand very straightforward to accomplish. In closing, we love everything about this amazing oled 4k hdtv. So incredibly razor sharp, detailed, crisp, with superb stunning and very lifelike colors and the blackest blacks and infinite contrast we’ve ever seen. It’s without a doubt, the best high performance hdtv we’ve ever own.
Edit 9/17:first off, i would give amazon 10 stars if possible. After the sony tech support debacle, i decided to contact amazon who cheerfully and immediately sent me out a new tv at no charge. Awesome service – i should have thought of this first. Sony responded to my initial review below and i did receive a call since i had opened a case – but they wanted me to send them video and picture proof, then they would later make a determination as to whether i would have to send the unit in to a service repair center, or schedule a tech for in-home repair. Either of these options would have taken weeks and amazon avoided all of that hassle. The new tv has been working successfully for a week now. Here is my updated review on the working unit:prosincredible picture based on oled technology – very good contrast, bright & vibrant colors. Vast array of picture calibration options – from presets to fine tuning parameters for advanced users. Sound out of the tv speakers is actually decent, but i quickly used a samsung hw-q90r soundbar for dolby atmos & surround sounds. The height of the tv is adjustable if using the feet (this is the good news), but look under cons for the bad news. Constv screen is highly reflective so beware when using in a room with high ambient light (lots of windows for instance) because you will see lots of reflection. As some others have stated, the picture is not as bright as an lg or other brands, but you can somewhat overcome this by using ‘vibrant’ as a picture preset, and other tweaks. I also turned off the auto-dimming. This tv does have an earc hdmi port, which passes through all the latest sound options and you can use this to control a soundbar.
A total delight to watch,i have found the picture the best i have ever seen. As i have told people to compare oled with qled at the store when you could go in,there’s no doubt you will pick oled. I went with sony because of the android smart operating system,the digital tuner,because i have antennas for over the air reception and the ethernet connection for faster wifi,after a long setup i have a wonderful tv with alexa and am extremely happy wih my purchase.
Hands down, the best picture, and easiest, finest tv i’ve ever seen, ever. And i’m a 50 year tv media pro, who’s seen every network/production studio monitor at optimum performance with pristine source content running since before digital hd broadcasting was even dreamt of. Now flat surface speaker technology does have its limitations, and even though sony has made the onboard sound work well beyond expectations, the klipsch soundbar 48 i’m using still provides a more satisfying, authoritative soundscape, it’s not bad all by itself for audio. And the improved android os is a bit buggy, but nothing a brief restart doesn’t fix whenever software gets stuck (as all software does), but who cares. When properly tweaked, every glance at the 65′ oled display makes me say ‘holy sh*t.
