Stunning Top Of The Line OLED
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this wonderful Sony about 1 month ago from BB. This is our 3rd Sony OLED in 5 years-not because they fail but our 3rd because the picture quality makes quantum leaps every year! Watching 4K movies on DVD is our primary form of home entertainment and the picture quality of this Bravia 8 65" just stands head and shoulders above the Korean brands. SONY-THE ONE AND ONLY! That advertising slogan was true in the 1970's and it is just as true today. Coupled with a state of the art Sony Dolby Atmos sound system and with the center "screen as a speaker" activated-well....it is the finest entertainment system we have ever owned!

BEST TV 2025 OFFERS
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bravia 8 mkii looked great in store, but looks even better at home. This gets very bright but also very cinematic when it needs to be. Only grudge you could say is the biggest size it comes in is 65”, but if thats the size you’re looking for then this is the model for you. Ive considered other great options but the processing and color accuracy sony puts towards their tvs outperforms the competition. 10/10

My GREAT Sony Bravia
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent television! I get almost the same quality picture as was experienced on the floor models in the Best Buy Store. This is to be expected since the floor models are not "streaming" . This is my second purchase of this same exact TV. It is like going to a movie house without having to get up and go there.

Sony still reigns supreme!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start by saying, in my opinion, this is the best TV money can buy. Sony just downright knows how to make an arguably a perfect TV. Picture quality is 2nd to none. Brightness is bright, but not overly bright, color is rich, natural and accurate. Processing is king, making 720p and 1080p content almost appear like 4k content with so much detail in every way possible. My only grip would be gaming brightness and only having 2 HDMI 2.1 inputs are a bit disappointing for what you’re paying for. Overall, this TV is everything I have wanted from a set. If your budget can swing it, grab one and enjoy one heck of a ride for years to come

“Unmatched Picture and Sound — The Best TV of 2025
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Bravia 8ii is hands down one of the best TVs of 2025. The picture quality is stunning — it feels like watching movies on an M4 iPad display. Tweaking the picture settings can be a bit challenging, but once dialed in, the visuals are flawless and the sound is equally impressive. It’s definitely pricey, but you’re paying for top-tier quality

Posted .Hi JayJay1111,
That is incredibly high praise! We are absolutely thrilled that you consider the 65" BRAVIA 8 II OLED one of the best TVs of 2025 and find the picture quality stunning and the sound impressive. We understand that dialing in the settings can take time, but we are delighted you found the flawless visuals worth the effort! Thanks for choosing Sony.

This TV is BRIGHT!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is incredibly bright! I upgraded from a 2019 OLED C9 seeking a brighter display. After comparing this TV to LG’s 2025 flagship, I chose the Sony based on the reputation of the Sony A95L, and I have no regrets. The colors from its QD-OLED panel are striking, the vibrant visuals are perfect for gaming. It took a day to adjust to the warmer tones (slightly magenta?), but they quickly feel natural. Compared to an LG C3, the colors really pop. It’s an outstanding TV. The only drawbacks are its premium price and that only two of the four HDMI ports are 2.1. If you have multiple consoles and a soundbar, consider an HDMI switch to avoid cable swapping. Overall, it’s a fantastic TV!

A gorgeous OLED performer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m finding that the Sony Bravia 8 II delivers one of the most stunning OLED displays yet, with brighter HDR highlights, richer color, and super black contrast. I’ve opted for a nice soundbar but the screen emanating sound was very clear. Wish it had another HDMI 2.1 port as it only has two; something gamers may want to consider. All-in-all I purchased this pricey OLED for its clarity, color quality, brightness and Sony’s reputation for reliability.

The best picture for movies.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a movie-phile. loved the Tv, but. excellent picture quality. I had a sony Z9D prior to this. So i was used to super high brightness and very good deep blacks. straight out of the box, colors are vibrant, contrast is clean, and imiage processing was awesome. playing 4K moves through the UPB 700 from sony was breathtaking. i didn't see a need to calibrate the tv. peak brightness on scenes was superb. streaming through an apple tv 4K latest gen, was also very good. it read dolby vision content, and played back no issues. rendering the low nitrate content was also very good. hard to tell you were streaming 4K dolby vision content. streaming SDR content was all very good. it did a very good job at cleaning up and upscaling the content. The interface is one of my favorites. i can access the settings very quickly and out fuz if i needed to adjust anything. it was also great that i could use the tv panel sound and paired to with my surround so i could add more clarity with the center channel i have hooked up. As for why i had to change and go for the LG G5. it's because of the lack of HDMI 2.1 ports. it only had 2 compared to 4 on the LG. i had to unplug and plug things in like the blue ray, apple tv, and xbox so i can take full advantage of 120 frames while gaming, full spectrum bandwidth while streaming for dolby vision and dolby atmos for my older marantz reviver.

Product is great, purchase process-not so great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is great. Easily my best purchase and clearly the best since the annoying manager at Best Buy wouldn’t stop trying to get me to purchase more stuff even though I explicitly told him I only wanted the tv. He kept making faces and scuffing as I opposed his tactics. Kinda funny watching him get frustrated as he probably though I was an idiot for not getting additional surge protection even after he tried to explain to me why I needed it(I’m an electrical engineer I know what it does. I also already had some that was relatively new).

Excellent TV, easy to setup, beautiful picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has made an excellent line of TVs even better with this second generation OLED TV. The picture is stunningly beautiful. I was also impressed with how much Sony has improved the setup process, especially with the apps. QR codes for logging in to the apps made it much easier to authorize the TV with the app. No need to remember passwords! The TV also did a great job of recognizing all of the devices attached to the four HDMI ports. Again, It was very easy. We love the TV.

Posted .Hi LARRYM, thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed experience—we appreciate your honesty and enthusiasm! It’s wonderful to hear you’re enjoying the BRAVIA 8 MKII and that its picture quality stands out for you.
OLED technology does offer exceptional color and contrast, but as you’ve noticed, it can be susceptible to image retention (sometimes called “burn-in”) with prolonged static images. Activities like leaving a channel logo, paused video, or music app on screen for long periods can gradually cause this effect. Your experience is a great reminder about the importance of screen management, and we’re glad you discovered the screen turn-off feature on the new BRAVIA—it’s an excellent way to protect your OLED panel during music streaming or any situation with a static display.
The BRAVIA 8 MKII is designed with smarter tools to help prevent burn-in, including pixel shift, screen savers, and customizable screen-off options. Using these features during static usage (like streaming audio through apps) can help ensure you keep enjoying vibrant picture quality for years to come.
If you ever have questions about settings or want tips to optimize your BRAVIA experience, our support team is here to help. Thanks again for coming back to Sony and for highlighting practical ways other users can take care of their TVs!

Big Upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a very nice TV, that is now at a much more reasonable price. At first glance I think it looks about the same as the A95L, but with the upgraded processor it feels a big less laggy in the menus and hopefully a bit more future proofed. One note is that the SDR brightness is a bit low until you mess with the configurations to brighten it up a bit.

Video and Audio are stunning
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from an LG C9. The picture quality is amazing. I wasn’t expecting a big difference going from one OLED to another, but I’m impressed. Main reason I upgraded was cause the audio processing on the C9 was awful. Had issues getting great sound. The Bravia does a great job with audio processing and I’m able to play content at any quality.

Posted .Hi Mikey, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're really happy to hear you're enjoying the superb picture quality right out of the box of the Sony - BRAVIA 8 II. We understand that issues with the eARC connection can be difficult and this is certainly not the experience we aim for. We want to ensure all aspects of your TV function properly, here are some troubleshooting steps that can resolve the problem:
1- Perform a power reset of your TV and Receiver. Turn off both devices and disconnect the power cords and HDMI cable from both devices for two minutes, then reconnect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN ARC of the TV and the other end to the HDMI OUT ARC of the receiver. Connect the power cords, and turn on first the TV and then the Receiver.
2- Enable the BRAVIA sync settings on the TV by going to settings > channels and inputs > external inputs > BRAVIA sync settings > BRAVIA sync device list > enable
3- Make sure the eARC mode is set to Auto. In settings go to display and sound > audio output > eARC mode > auto
If these steps don't resolve the issue, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team directly through the link below, they would be happy to walk you through more in-depth troubleshooting or discuss potential solutions.
