Superb TV
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

What a view
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is impressive. I retired a 15 year old plasma tv with this Sony. The 4k sports broadcasts are amazing. You can see the shine in the football player’s helmets and blades of grass on the field. I’m getting a second tv like this to replace another old one. This tv is a winner

Best OLED current on the market with caveats
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.See title - hands down the best picture quality you can commercialy get today for the sizes avaiable. My only gripe is that there are only 2 120hz ports, one of them being eARC, so if you have a PS5 and a Game Box your're out of luck. I switched from an LG, the software if much more logical and better designed compared to WebOS. I've owned various flat monitors over the years, I'm surprised how light these have come now. Goes well with a soundbar.

Posted .Hi kyleBB,
That is an outstanding endorsement, and we are thrilled you consider the picture quality of the BRAVIA 8 II OLED to be the best commercially available! We also appreciate you noting the improvements in the Google TV software design over competitors. We understand your frustration with having only two HDMI 2.1 ports (for 4K/120Hz, VRR, etc.), one of which is dedicated as the eARC port; this is a common challenge with premium TVs when connecting multiple high-performance gaming consoles, and we will certainly pass this valuable feedback on to our engineering team 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.

TV so sharp, you’ll need a first aid kit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful picture quality! Sounds great even without a soundbar. Setup was easy, took about 15 min to plug in and log into a few accounts. 55 inch was a perfect choice for a bedroom. I suggest 65 minimum for living room.
