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 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.
