Sony Bravia 8 Constant Issues
I bought my first Sony Bravia TV, the Bravia 8 OLED just over a year ago and am shocked at how many issues this TV has. We’ve had constant problems with it from day one.
I’m wondering if these are known issues with the Bravia/if other Reddit users have experienced similar or if we have a faulty unit?
I have a HTA3000 soundbar and RS3 rear speakers.
Acoustic Centre Sync is unusable because the TV speakers emit a loud static sound when activated, even after changing the cable which came with the TV.
Apple TV 4K has constant audio sync issues, compounded by visual stuttering as the TV A/V sync attempted to resync the video and audio. Trying all manner of different settings on the Apple TV and Bravia didn’t fix the issue which rendered the Apple TV unusable for me.
Since a recent update we also now have audio delay issues whenever we connect an HDMI service. I have experienced this on my laptop, PS5 and Xbox Series X and on both the soundbar and TV speakers.
Recently, broadcast TV over aerial in the UK also has weird motion handling in certain shots. Looking at the menu settings I can see the TV is randomly switching between detecting a progressive and interlaced signal multiple times during the same programme, with motion becoming juddery and unnatural when it detects an interlaced issue.
The TV flashes white on and off when VRR is switched on in game mode playing HDR/Dolby Vision games on the Xbox Series X.
Is it common to have this many issues? Are these issues I’d also face on an LG OLED or are they unique to Sony?
