We recently purchased the Sony Bravia 8 (65-inch), and it has exceeded our expectations in every way. The picture quality is absolutely gorgeous — rich colors, deep blacks, and very natural, lifelike detail. Even older shows look noticeably better on this screen.
The setup was surprisingly simple, and the interface is clean and intuitive. Switching between apps, streaming, and devices is quick and seamless. The TV is also very responsive, and the remote is easy to navigate.
We paired ours with a high-quality soundbar, and together the experience feels like a home theater. Overall, this Sony Bravia 8 has been an excellent upgrade — worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Love our Sony 55" BRAVIA 8 II OLED 4K TV!! Could not be happier with the with picture and sound. Also, the glare reduction on the screen is perfect for our home and window glares are no longer seen when the picture is on.
Our first larger size TV was a Sony Bravia 20 years. When we wanted to update tried a different brand and was not satisfied. Went back to Sony Bravia and are Sony forever now!

This is an excellent tv. For health reasons i had to upgrade my tv. The colors are incredibly vibrant, the audio is incredibly clean, and the OLED is brilliant (and much better for my eyes than LED). The 120hz and VRR are brilliant for gaming, i get tons of use from both of those on all 3 current gen consoles. The smart interface is just google play and doesnt try to reincent the wheel, the remote allows you to choose what input the "TV" button goes to and i have had no issues whatsoever with it. I went in planning to get an older model but when i saw this one i knew it was the one i needed. Absolutely recommended. It is compatible with my tsr-700 and has had no issues with anything ive connected to it.

I needed a new TV researched a lot and finally bought this beautiful TV the picture is basically PERFECT. I bought mine at the Tustin location where they have all TV’s displayed very nice so you can judge no matter what brand you’re buying.
The sound even without a sound bar is amazing. I can’t imagine what’s it’s going to be like when I do plug my soundbar in and use it

Refurbished Sony - 55" Class BRAVIA 8 II OLED TV

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I got a refurbished version of a Sony 55" Class BRAVIA 8 II OLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV. It was listed for $1,100, and I asked the store why over the phone, and they didn't see anything wrong with it. I immediately bought it before they changed the price to one for an "excellent" condition version of the TV. I picked it up and got the 5-year warranty just in case. It took hours before I finally realized why it was marked down, but it was so minor that it didn't make a difference in me wanting to keep the TV.
I could have gotten an LG C5 or Samsung, but for the price I paid, this TV was light-years better than I could have anticipated owning. The processor is better than the one I had with my LG CX and feels very premium. If you don't like it being so "4K," switch to Cinema, and it still pops without the sensory overload. Even at face value, I highly recommend this Sony TV.

I’m really happy with this TV. The picture on the Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED is beautiful — deep blacks, great color, and everything just looks sharp and natural. Movies and shows look amazing, and even regular streaming looks better than I expected. The sound is also surprisingly good. I thought I’d want a soundbar right away, but honestly the built-in audio is more than fine.
The remote is another plus. It’s simple, easy to use, and doesn’t feel cluttered. Google TV runs smoothly and setup was quick.
I also want to mention the staff at Best Buy. I was pretty overwhelmed trying to pick the right TV, and having someone knowledgeable walk me through the options and help me choose what actually fit my home was a huge relief. That made the whole process a lot easier—the Google TV app. works seamlessly. I am looking forward to casting photos and sharing them with family and friends on the 55" screen!
Overall, I’m extremely happy with this purchase and have zero regrets. This is a great TV and I’m glad I went with it.

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.

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.
