The Sony BRAVIA 8 is very good for mixed usage. Despite not being the brightest model in HDR, it looks great with the lights turned off thanks to its inky blacks and vibrant colors. It performs decently with the lights turned on, where it maintains deep blacks and saturated colors. However, it does struggle more with reducing the intensity of direct light sources. When you want to pick up your controller, it's a solid option due to its clear motion and modern gaming features. It's also a stellar model for when your friends come over, since it has a wide viewing angle.
