Posted .Hi Manna,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the new BRAVIA 8 II!
We're delighted to hear you're enjoying it's overall performance. We also appreciate your honest feedback on the sound. While our BRAVIA TVs are designed to deliver clear audio, their ultra-thin profile prioritizes a breathtaking picture. For a truly immersive, home theater experience with richer bass and clearer dialogue, we highly recommend pairing your TV with one of our BRAVIA Theatre soundbars or a home audio system—they are designed to work seamlessly with your TV!
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony Social Media Team.

Sony TV and sound bar.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good price, good installation job, sound is questionable.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Dale,
Thanks for sharing your positive experience with the price and installation of your new BRAVIA 8 II—we can't be happier to hear it!
Regarding the sound, we understand it can be a key part of the viewing experience, and sometimes it just needs a little fine-tuning to get it right for your specific room and preferences. You can contact our dedicated Sony Support Team for assistance at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv
However, to take the audio experience to the next level, we recommend looking at our new BRAVIA Theater lineup of soundbars. They are specifically designed to work seamlessly with our latest TVs, offering features like Acoustic Center Sync, which uses the TV's own speakers as a center channel to make dialogue incredibly clear.
We appreciate you choosing Sony and hope you continue enjoying your television!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.

Almost impossible to contact anyone with questions
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought this TV as the best in class. The manager sold me on applying for a credit card to save $500 and to join the Best Buy “club” to save another $100. When I tried to get more info about questions, I could NEVER contact anyone at the store and the call center had long holds. I ultimately had to visit the store to cancel the order, which I did.

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took two weeks to get delivered The first time it was sceduled yhr dispatcher could not locate the delivery people assigned to the task.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, LilRooster.
We are truly sorry to hear that you are unable to switch inputs or access your external devices via the HDMI ports on your K-55XR80M2 television. We absolutely understand how frustrating this must be, as a seamless connection is essential to your home entertainment experience.
Connection and input issues are often caused by temporary software glitches within the operating system. We want to help you resolve this quickly so you can start enjoying your content.
We recommend the following initial troubleshooting steps:
Power Reset: Please perform a power reset by unplugging the TV's power cord from the wall outlet for at least two minutes. This simple step is highly effective at clearing temporary memory issues that affect input recognition.
Check for Updates: If the issue persists after the reset, please ensure your TV is connected to the internet and is running the latest available software update. We release periodic updates to address glitches and improve overall TV stability and performance.
If these initial steps do not resolve the issue, please contact our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv so our specialists can provide personalized, in-depth troubleshooting and guide you through the next advanced steps, such as checking specific settings or performing a factory reset.

Best TV available
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best TV you can buy. The color rendition is amazing. No noise in blacks. The white balance is spot on, I was able to get a perfect black balance. The color tracking through all luminance levels was great. I used the Calman software with the C6 camera to do an Auto Setup. The before readings were almost perfect right out of the box. After a 20 point adjustment everything hit the boxes. I also paired the Bravia Theater 8 with the wireless subwoofer and surrounds. Unbelievable sound. I’m extremely impressed.

Bravia 8 II 55" - checks all the right boxes!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality of my Sony 55" Bravia 8 II is excellent. I had tried to use some picture settings from AI suggestions but in the end, the standard picture mode is really not worth messing with for all of my mostly SDR content on most days. The colors really pop and are very natural looking to me. One could argue that a mini-LED set like the Bravia 9 would be brighter, but then I would possibly have other trade-offs to work around. The sound is also adequate for me most of the time. On some movies that require more punch, I run those through my stereo which is connected to a subwoofer. The voice enhancer is a very helpful feature as well and I have that set at 3 and this seems to assist with dialogue, especially in movies. The other really great thing is Best Buy had a nice sale going on for this unit, making it very attractive at that price point.

Posted .Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful review, Tommy!
We are thrilled to hear that your Bravia 8 II is hitting that perfect balance for you. It’s great to see a user who appreciates the natural, "popping" colors of our OLED panels—and we totally agree, sometimes the out-of-the-box Standard mode is tuned so well it’s hard to beat!
It’s also awesome that you’re taking advantage of the Voice Enhancer to keep that dialogue sharp. While the Bravia 9 is indeed a Mini-LED powerhouse, the infinite contrast of your OLED is a trade-off that’s hard to give up once you’ve seen it.
We’re glad you caught that Best Buy sale, too! Welcome to the Sony family.
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team
