||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually get my TV on July 9th and I am really excited to get it. I have been in the store to look at it a few times and the picture is just outstanding. Once I get it and get to watch it in my home I will update my review. Not sure how only 2 HDMI ports that are 2.1 will affect the set up.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read some reviews, some complained about the darkness of screen, but given the brand name and high cost i trusted their product. It is not as good and the Samsung i replaced at $ 1K less. The screen is pretty dark, even at 100% brightness

Posted .Thank you for reaching out with your honest feedback, RichardW.
We are sorry to hear that your BRAVIA 8 II isn't meeting your expectations regarding brightness, especially after moving from your previous TV. We understand how disappointing it is when a premium product doesn't feel like a step up in every category.
Since the K-65XR80M2 is an OLED, it excels in deep blacks and contrast, but certain "Eco" or "Power Saving" settings can sometimes aggressively dim the panel. We recommend checking that Auto Brightness (under Ambient Optimization) and Energy Saver modes are turned off, as these can limit the peak brightness even when your manual setting is at 100%.
If you’ve already adjusted those and still feel the screen is too dark, our support team would be happy to look into this with you to ensure your panel is performing exactly as it should: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv.

Sony bravia 8 ii tv review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is great, my issues are with the stand and the sound. The sound is horrible. The mid and upper frequencies are harsh and "tinny" sounding. Ive tried using the equalizer to tame the problem but now it sounds dull and the harshness is still there. I think its in the amp or crossover because if i connect my surround processor (i have to use optical, my surround processor doesn't have hdmi) the harshness is still there. I'm very disappointed in the sound, especially since I've read good reviews of it. I'm starting to think i have a defective unit. The stand, while there's nothing wrong with it per se, protrudes forward of the tv by a good amount, 6 , 7 inches. So the screen is set back from the edge of my stand by 7 inches. This is absolutely not a problem for most people, and honestly i don't know what else they could do. It is pretty stable. For me, i can't move my center channel speaker back flush with screen so i have to rest my delay. Also i need to move my left and right speakers back so they wont be flush with front of my stand. I know this is minor, nitpicky stuff. Its a 65 inch tv, the stand has to be in front and behind the screen. My old tv sat flush with front of the stand. The big issue, and its huge for me is the sound. It's horrible, fingernails on a chalkboard bad.

Posted .Hi Genotahoe,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on your new BRAVIA 8 II. It is disappointing that the picture quality hasn't impressed you right out of the box, but we are confident that the right configuration will reveal the true potential of this display.
Investing in a high-quality High Speed HDMI cable that supports 4K is a great move, as standard cables often lack the bandwidth necessary to deliver a high-resolution signal. It is also important to verify that the content you are watching is actually being broadcast or streamed in 4K, as the source material plays a huge role in what you see on screen. Additionally, the TV features extensive picture customization options that allow you to adjust settings like brightness and contrast to suit your specific environment. For a detailed walkthrough on how to fine-tune these features, please follow this guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/musltn1/v1/en-003/contents/TP1001675534.html
Thank you for considering Sony!

Posted .Hello DennisM,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We appreciate your positive comment about the great picture quality of your K65XR80M2 TV. However, we regret to learn about the trailing and blurriness issues you have experienced during sports viewing, which is understandably frustrating. This falls short of the quality standards we aim to uphold, and we are grateful that you have taken the time to provide this valuable feedback. We will ensure your comments are shared with our dedicated Sony team as we continue to enhance our products.
To improve the clarity of distant players and reduce motion trailing, we recommend adjusting the Motionflow settings in your picture menu. Modifying the Smoothness and Clearness options according to your preference often helps address these concerns.
Please refer to the following link for detailed instructions: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00190409
Should the issues persist, we encourage you to contact our dedicated support team for further assistance. You can find all relevant contact options and resources here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv
