Sony Bravia 8 ii 55"
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went looking for a deal and found the best one at Bestbuy. The staff went way beyond to locate their listed options. Spent 40 minutes searching but, they found it. Kudos to the entire staff at the Newport News store!! I will return for future purchases. As for the TV, it is exactly what I wanted. Excellent picture, sound, and seamless connection to my Sony Bravia Sound system.

Sound is realistic. Wifi connection excellent. Intuitive setup process. It’s stand is flimsy you need a Google account to access Sony movie benefits. Good product for the money.

It’s super slim, easy to set up, the picture is crisp and vibrant, the sound is clear and concise. While watching something, it’s like I’m in the movie/TV show. This TV is amazing.

Great TV!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this TV. The color and clarity are exactly what we expected. The built in sound has negated the need for a sound bar in the room we are using the TV, but we are going to connect since we have one which is easy to do. Love the built in streaming and casting functionality. Very happy with this purchase.

It's incredibly rewarding to know that the color and clarity are exactly what you expected, delivering the premium picture experience Sony strives for.

Absolutely amazing picture
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review will sound fanboyish but it is what it is. This TV is fantastic. It is the first TV that I've purchased in my life where the picture has been perfect out of the box. No need to tweak for this and that.. its just ready to go and looks great doing it. I've tried LG, Samsung and even Panasonic this year and this TV just has something the others don't.. extreme clarity. The picture is just clean, no noise, no extra image grain.. just nice and sharp, bright and full of color. True it is the dimmer of the 4 Premium OLED TVs this year but you wouldn't know it. It handles dark scenes with aplomb and bright scenes can sear your eyeballs. Game mode is also great. No dimming, super colorful and punchy. True it only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports but the internet will tell you that you HAVE to have 4. Not everyone does.. unless you have an Xbox Series AND a PlayStation 5. Switch 2 can use one of the 2.0 ports without any issue. Give this TV a try.. you won't send it back.

Posted .Hi CraigL,
Thank you for the glowing, in-depth review of the BRAVIA 8 II! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that it has exceeded your expectations and delivered a perfect picture right out of the box. That's exactly what we strive for with our BRAVIA TVs, and your experience truly validates the hard work of our engineers.

Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

Superb TV
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] The Bravia 8 II is possibly the best TV to be released in 2025. Before setting calibration, the picture quality is already amazing and the sound quality without a soundbar is better than other TVs (soundbar still 100% recommended however). It runs video games beautifully and the only complaint in that department is only 2 HDMI inputs being 2.1 rather than all 4 being 2.1 compatible. Other than that I have no real complaints with the TV and am more than satisfied with my purchase.

Posted .Hi Nari,
That is fantastic feedback! We are thrilled that you find the BRAVIA 8 II to be an amazing TV, and we are especially proud that the picture quality is stunning straight out of the box and that the built-in sound exceeds your expectations. We appreciate your point regarding the two HDMI 2.1 ports; we continuously work to balance the needs of all users, but we understand the desire for more high-bandwidth ports for advanced gaming setups and will certainly take your feedback into consideration for future models.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

An amazing TV that will last
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time owning a brand new high end Sony TV. The qd-oled Bravia 8 mk ii 55" out of the box looked amazing. The Google TV OS replaced my external Google TV box. Playing the PS5 on tv looked amazing and was calibrated automatically. The IMAX and netflix calibration setting is a nice feature. Overall a nice tv. The Sony tax you pay for the TV seems worth it for those that are heavy movie watchers and or want the best TV on the market but there is a few caveats when compared to the competition. The reason for the score being 1 less off. The TV only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports which means you will need to disconnect or buy additional equipment if you need more. You lose a few premium items offered from their previous OLED TV that they offered like the camera and remote with backlight.

Posted .Hi MartinN,
We are thrilled you find your first high-end BRAVIA 8 II OLED TV amazing right out of the box, praising the great picture, smooth Google TV OS, and the automatic calibration for the PS5. We are delighted you feel the investment is worth it for the quality. We acknowledge your disappointment regarding having only two HDMI 2.1 ports and the exclusion of the previously offered camera and backlit remote; we will pass this important feedback to our engineering team.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Posted .Hi AtoZ,
We're so glad to hear you're loving the picture quality and easy setup of your new BRAVIA 8 II and that you're a loyal Sony customer. Regarding the IMAX Enhanced feature, some streaming services and high-bitrate content require a very fast and stable internet connection to function properly. We recommend using a wired Ethernet connection or a high-speed Wi-Fi connection for the best experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Great TV, got it on sale!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is honestly the nicest TV I've ever purchased, but it feels worth the expense. Color and brightness is solid in a bright room, despite windows in this room facing west. Setup is easy, app is nice but not exactly necessary. Tons of features I haven't even explored yet. Shows like The Expanse look amazing when the room is dark. Also- got it on sale, then it went on bigger sale for an additional $500 off- went into the store and they matched price, refunding me the $500. Good customer service experience, good tv.
