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.

That's exactly what we strive for with our BRAVIA TVs, and your experience truly validates the hard work of our engineers.

Hi MargieK,
That's excellent news! We're delighted to hear that you are enjoying the stunning picture quality and vibrant colors of your BRAVIA 8 II OLED TV.
Eliminating that pesky glare from the sun is a key benefit of the anti-reflective coating on our QD-OLED panels, and we are glad it's providing you with a more immersive and comfortable viewing experience, even in a bright room.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Eliab

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great tv to replace a 2007 Bravia that was still working perfectly except it wasn’t “smart” and we only upgraded to get a smart tv. It’s very thin and once we get used to the tools I think it will be much easier to use all the features built in.

Hi there,
We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying your new BRAVIA 8 II! It is fantastic that your previous 2007 BRAVIA provided you with such long-lasting, perfect performance—that speaks volumes about the quality we strive for! We are happy you chose Sony again to bring modern "smart" functionality into your home.
We understand that learning new technology takes a moment, but we know you will love the built-in features and the stunning, thin design once you get familiar with the interface.
Thank you for trusting Sony!

Hi KeithM,
We couldn't be happier to hear that you’ve crowned this the best TV ever and that you were able to go from store to sofa in less than an hour!
The magic behind that stunning picture you’re seeing is our advanced QD-OLED panel. By combining the perfect blacks of OLED with the vibrant, expansive color of Quantum Dots, the BRAVIA 8 II delivers a level of brightness and color saturation that truly transforms everything you watch. When you pair that visual depth with our immersive sound technology, it creates a home cinema experience that is second to none.
