Sony KD-55AF8

 

Sony KD-55AF8 review: 2017's excellent Sony A1 remade. Not the latest tech but still excellent, especially if you're a sticker for motion handling.

Beautifully pure, refined pictures ; Good sound up to a point ; Class-leading motion and noise management

Android TV continues to frustrate ; HDR pictures lack brightness

Exquisite pictures, but the lack of brightness limits HDR impact – especially in bright-room environments.

Sony AF8 TV review: ignore the haters, the KD65AF8 is the best 4K HDR OLED TV of 2018 so far

 

No it's not a huge leap forward from Sony's A1 from last year. Yes it's the best TV you can buy

Genuinely jaw-dropping 4K HDR OLED picture quality ; Remarkable in-screen audio system ; Excellent build and fine finishing

Okay, it isn't a huge leap on from last year's A1 ; …But then it is hard to improve on The Best

Sony's cheapest OLED TV range gets off to a solid (and in some ways surprising) start...

Detailed picture ; Impressive sound ; Deep OLED blacks ; Smooth handling of motion

Lacks punch compared to the A1 ; User interface could be better ; No Dolby Vision

A good television, but the Sony AF8 doesn’t shine quite as bright as its superstar sibling

Sony AF8 TV review: Perfect processing lacks the brightness of its OLED competitors

 

This 2018 OLED TV delivers superb picture processing. However, its HDR brightness is a little behind the competition, leaving LG and Panasonic ahead.

Beautifully refined OLED picture quality ; Owerful sound from a space-saving design ; Fair price point too

Pictures lack brightness with HDR ; Android TV smart system isn’t very friendly ; Minor update over 2017 model

The Sony AF8 delivers beautiful picture quality thanks to superb picture processing. Its one problem is simple: it's not as bright as the 2018 competition, which gives LG and Panasonic a foot-up in the brightness stakes.

Sony's first OLED, the A1, is getting a new stablemate in the form of the 65-inch KD65AF8. It shares many features with its older sibling, including the innovative acoustic surface speaker and X1 extreme image processor, but does all this add up to a...

Sony KD-55AF8 Review

 

The Sony KD-55AF8/ A8F OLED TV is the latest high-end television from the company, but is it any good?

HDR performance might be too dull for some viewers ; ABL is too aggressive and can dim the screen while watching content ; Android TV operating system is slow and ponderous ; User interface is slow because of the OS ; Smart TV is slow and buggy thanks...

Sony KD-65AF8 OLED 4K TV Preview

 

Sony's new BRAVIA AF8 uses a simplified stand that drops the annoying incline but keeps the Acoustic Surface and excellent picture quality.
