Product Snapshot

Overview

The Sony Bravia A8H OLED TV was Sony’s entry-level OLED 4K HDR TV released in 2020. Thanks to its individually controlled pixels, it can deliver better blacks and contrast than LCD, Quantum Dot, and even mini LED TVs.

In addition, it has a near-instantaneous response time. Furthermore, Sony’s Triluminos display technology provides fantastic color accuracy out of the box.

It also boasts Android TV 9.0 UI for a fluid experience. As a result, the A8H OLED is exceptionally well-positioned for all film buffs alike.
