- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020What 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 HDTV!
If 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 box!
This 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 easy
and 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.
To test our new setup, we took in Marvel's mega blockbuster, "The Avengers Endgame. And talk about a true cinematic adventure and experience!!
We were completely BLOWN AWAY! The sight and sound experience was truly out of this world spectacular!
Hard to believe Sony can actually improve on this incredible level of cinematic perfection! Talk about delivering the goods!!!
Thank you, Sony for this product offering. Sony has truly hit a GRAND SLAM with this unit. Get it. You simply won't be disappointed.
As for the audio, Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio is very innovative and also delivered in spades. The sound field was very wide, realistic and multidimensional and has to be truly experienced first hand.
For our purpose, this technology more than meets our sound expectations. No need for an external sound bar or even an cumbersome and dedicated audio video receiver, though you could of course.
We have always been loyal Sony XBR fans going back years. Make no mistake, this OLED 4K HDTV is as good as it gets in terms of bringing a truly movie like, cinematic experience to your home.
The Sony AH8 OLED Ultra 4K HDTV is THAT good. Also, whether it's turned ON or OFF, this unit is one sexy, gorgeous, ultra thin, black baby to behold.
Will enhance any interior decor. It has ours!! Well done, Sony! Highly recommended.
UPDATE : May 2021
Sony just recently released their new 2021 top of the line, AJ90 OLED model.
However, again, if you're not a serious gamer, the 2020 A8H specs every bit as well as the new 2021 model, costing hundreds of dollars more.
Just read the very detailed review by TechReview today, in a very comprehensive side-by-side comparison of both the 2020 A8H and Sony's latest for 2021, their AJ90.
This includes the most important attributes, notably overall picture quality, theatrical /movie, TV, and PRO sports performance, sharpness, and sound.
From a sheer performance perspective, the AH8 is identical to the newer, more expensive AJ90, with the latter featuring HDMI 2.1 inputs to support next GEN gaming modes.
So, unless you MUST have the latest and greatest version, save yourself the $money$ and just get the A8H!
You'll be glad you did! After reading the latest review, I'm very grateful I did and even more happy than ever.
And no, no need to thank me for this either!
Best regards.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021I'll start with some back story. My TV prior to this was a 60 inch Vizio I got on Black Friday 7 years ago. It was a solid TV. It was still working when I took it out. It had 2 dark spots in the bottom center of the screen where my young son would go put his hands on the TV when he was very young. You couldn't see them all the time, but in dark scenes it was bad and getting worse. I started saving as I knew I wanted an OLED TV. I saved for 2 years and then started watching reviews.
I was down to this TV, the Sony A8H and the LG C10. The biggest reason I opted for the Sony was built in Android/Google TV. I know in a lot of reviews people kind of give it a hard time, but I absolutely love it. I had a Tivo Stream 4k hooked to my Vizio, and loved the interface. I'm not a pc gamer, so I didn't feel I would need the HDMI 2.1 features.
Getting to the TV. Oh man, it's excellent. The very first thing I watched for a test was an episode of the Mandalorian. Where Rosario Dawson wields her 2 white saber's in the opening dark scene shown in Dolby Vision bright. I was blown away. People say once you go OLED you never go back. I can see why. Everything looks amazing on this TV. Sound is pretty good. I have a sound bar, but also have young kids that have early bedtimes, so I rarely use it. Most of my TV listening is done through Sony RF headphones. During the day though when I don't use my headphones, the sound is good. I can't complain at all with the level of sound, and have never had the sound above 30. I don't feel you need to have a sound bar for this TV. Is a sound bar better sound, sure, but this TV has solid, adequate sound, and think it will stand on it's own.
One thing to keep in mind with most of the new TV's is the stand. Most of the TV's have went to a 2 feet stand. I don't recall the spacing right off, but it could be an issue with someone's current TV stand. I knew mine would not have an issue. By default, the feet keep the TV very lowly slung, but you can adjust the feet to raise the TV up high enough for a sound bar to slip under it.
The only complaint I can make is not about the TV, but about who Amazon shipped it with. NSD was the freight carrier. It took me 3 weeks to get it from when I ordered it. It sit 1.5 hours away from me for 2 weeks. They missed multiple scheduled delivery times never calling or anything, and acted like I was bothering them to get it rescheduled. Although, it did arrive, without a scratch on it.
If your on the fence about ordering this TV, go for it. With the new models announced at CES, you will likely find this on discount. I got this TV on sale on Amazon the Sunday after Black Friday for $1,798. I'd say a deal like that will be had again for someone if you keep an eye on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never leaving my couch again.
This is a fantastic piece of technology. I am amazed at the sound quality coming from a 1.5" thick rear panel. Absolutely great. Video is crisp on a pencil thin screen. Paired with an android phone, setup was a breeze.
Menu is slick and all apps that I've tried run well.
Overall, super happy with busting the bank a bit for this one. Worth the price tag.
- RoadrunnerReviewed in Canada on March 8, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV!
We bought this as a Covid present for our good behaviour! Haven't gone anywhere for over a year. May as well make our confinement enjoyable! Delivery was very fast. TV was packed well and not damaged. Set up was easy although the size makes it awkward . We were very careful and playing with it immediately. Love the voice command feature. Picture is AMAZING! Colour is clear, bright and the the best I've seen. Should have bought this 6 months ago.
- Michelle E.Reviewed in Canada on July 29, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Where has this been all my life...
Watching an old M.A.S.H. episode and you'd swear they were in my livingroom! Very impressed with the picture quality. I should have upgraded sooner. Stevenson's Electronics a good seller. Tv was in perfect condition when it arrived. Coupling this with a Sony 4K Blu-ray Player (UBPX700/CA) for maximum effect. Will update on how well the two perform together. The blu-ray had the most features and was a good price point. Bought it from somewhere else though, as I'm having trouble with Amazon lately.
- Gary BallReviewed in Canada on October 22, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate TV experience
This TV does what I expected and more. The picture is clear, precise and well lit. Refresh rate is tremendous. SMART features and layout easy to setup and operate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch picture and excellent sound (no need for a soundbar)
I love this TV - in our other home we have LG OLED and this Sony at least as good or better - and, the sound system is superb even without a soundbar - very impressed..
