In early March I purchased the Sony A8H and loved the picture (OLED) but hated the operating system and remote. Long story short, I sent it back, but ended up getting the same TV. I love the picture quality and love the motion especially with sports and movies. My only issue is when I play a video game. I do not “game” and just play Madden (football) and NBA 2k (basketball) games. I currently have a PS4 pro (PS5 is in the mail) and the issue I have is that during game play the game dims. It dims so bad it is hard to play. The game didn’t dim like this when I had the first Sony, so I am not sure how to fix. I have done everything from “power save mode” to light sensor off to change it from Game mode to Cinema mode. I have tried 100 different things and during play it still dims. I know OLED with do this so there is no “burn” but what makes me mad is that it will cut away and come back like new. So if I am playing a game of 2k and the quarters are 5 mins in length, about the 2 minute mark the court, players etc. are all dimming. If I call a timeout, go to the timeout screen, and then back to the game it is bright and nice. Rinse and repeat. Same as for Madden. If I call time out during play this resets the picture. If I go to settings on the TV and to “picture” just click on it and back out it resets. It is so confusing. I have read online when doing searches that this is common but I cant see how people would want to keep resetting the picture quality every 2 mins. It might be the PS4 but like I said it did not do it with the first TV. Maybe there is a bug and maybe I should exchange it? Any help would be thankful.
