Sony A8G / AG8 (2019) Series

Perfect black levels for strong contrast performance. Wide color range. Android TV is powerful.

Colors run cool without tuning. Clunky remote. No hands-free Google Assistant.

Bottom Line: Sony's A8G series of 4K OLED TVs is among the most affordable we've seen, with superlative contrast but less-than-ideal color out of the box.

Sony AG8 has a razor-sharp image quality with a darkened black level. In addition, it - as one of the few TVs - boasts extremely good sound that comes directly from the TV screen.

The Sony screen does not have as strong a contrast as some of the competitors. Ease of use suffers a bit due to an antiquarian remote control.

Excellent black levels and shadow details ; Very good above black performance ; Excellent SDR image quality out of the box in Cinema Pro mode ; Superb colours especially with SDR content ; Very good video processing and upscaling ; Excellent motion ;...

HDR images appear dim compared to competition ; Ships with Android version 7 ; Requires manual update to Oreo at time of review ; OS and Smart TV are slow and buggy, even after update to Oreo ; Remote control is cheap and nasty on such an expensive TV...

Sony AG8 har en sylskarp bildekvalitet med bekmørkt svartnivå. I tillegg kan den – som en av få TV-er – skilte med særdeles god lyd som kommer direkte ut av TV-skjermen.

Sony-skjermen har ikke like kanonsterk kontrast som en del av konkurrentene. Brukervennligheten lider litt på grunn av en antikvarisk fjernkontroll.

La qualité des traitements du processeur ; Le design sobre et réussi ; Le système Acoustic Surface Audio ; La bonne colorimétrie du mode jeu

La calibration qui aurait pu être meilleure ; Le retard à l’affichage ; Pas de mise à jour vers Android TV 9
