Hands on review of the Sony A8G OLED 4k HDR TV

The Sony A8G is a remarkable OLED TV that delivers excellent picture quality. Like all OLED TVs, the A8G has an emissive technology that allows it to display perfect blacks by switching off individual pixels. In this review, we compare it to 3 other popular models.

The Sony A8G/AG8 OLED delivers outstanding dark room performance, thanks its ability to produce perfect blacks and perfect black uniformity. It also has a nearly-instantaneous response time, delivering crystal-clear motion with almost no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. This lack of blur can bother some people, though, as it results in stutter when watching movies or other low frame rate content. Unfortunately, like all OLEDs, there is a possibility of burn-in with static content, and the brightness of the screen changes depending on the content, also known as ABL, which may bother some people.

Model tested: 55” (XBR55A8G)
Should also be valid for 65” (XBR65A8G)
