Asked 8 months ago by Andrey657.

• A:Answer Hi Andrey657, Thank you for your question. The key difference between the Sony - BRAVIA 8 (55") and the BRAVIA 8 II (55") lies in the panel technology. The BRAVIA 8 uses a traditional OLED panel, while the BRAVIA 8 II features a QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) panel. QD-OLED combines the perfect blacks of OLED with the added benefit of quantum dots, which deliver higher peak brightness, a wider color range, and more vivid, lifelike images. In addition, the BRAVIA 8 II includes Sony's AI Scene Recognition system powered by the XR processor. This technology analyzes each scene in real time and optimizes brightness, contrast, and color for a more natural and immersive picture. In short, the BRAVIA 8 offers excellent OLED picture quality, while the BRAVIA 8 II takes it a step further with greater brightness, richer colors, and advanced AI processing for an enhanced viewing experience. We hope this answers your question, and thank you for considering Sony products! Regards, Dominick

Q: QuestionDoes this 55” Bravia 8 include the new speaker built into the screen technology that the Sony Bravia 9 has ?

Asked 2 weeks ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there, Thank you for reaching out! Yes, the 55” Sony BRAVIA 8 II does feature this incredible technology. It utilizes Acoustic Surface Audio+™, which uses actuators behind the panel to vibrate the screen itself, turning the entire display into a speaker. Just like in a movie theater, this allows sound to come from exactly where the action is happening on screen, meaning you'll hear dialogue come straight from the actors' mouths. We really appreciate your interest in Sony products! Regards, Dominick

Q: QuestionCan I adjust the base stand to less than 48 inches

Asked 1 month ago by David.

• A:Answer Hi David, The 55" Class BRAVIA 8 II (2025) features an Aluminum Edge Stand that is positioned at the very edges of the display. For this specific model, the stand width is approximately 48 1/4 inches and is not adjustable to a narrower or central position. While you can adjust the height to accommodate a soundbar, the feet must remain at the outer corners. If your surface is less than 48 inches wide, we recommend considering a compatible VESA wall mount or a universal third-party tabletop pedestal stand to ensure the TV is supported safely. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
