Pros

- Much-improved sound
- Typical awesome gaming specs
Cons
- Design now very familiar
- Limited audio volume
- The best picture quality requires some tweaking

The Sony Bravia 8 focuses on delivering a natural, cinematic image, with superb motion handling and some of the best built-in sound you’ll find on a TV at this level. It may lack the gaming flexibility of the LG, but for film fans, it's hard to beat – particularly now it's been discounted.
Pros
- Balanced, immersive picture
- Great motion handling
- Good audio by TV standards
Cons
- Not a huge upgrade on last year’s model
- Good, not great upscaling
- Only two HDMI 2.1 inputs
The Sony Bravia 8, meanwhile, is a What Hi-Fi? Award…
