Our Sony TV Beats the Movie Theater
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We finally bought a new TV to replace our 2016 LG secondary to realizing that the old technology was not working. It has been so refreshing to be able to stream a huge variety of shows/movies without difficulty. It is so nice to see detail and color as it should be. The salesman at Best Buy was not pushy; he in fact showed us a large variety of TVs ; from the lower cost less known brands which we requested when we first came in, to a higher priced Sony. After a couple of hours; we decided that at our age (early 80s); we deserved to be able to watch clarity, good color, etc. since we do not go out that much and haven't been to a movie theater since pre-Covid. I am so thankful that the wonderful young salesman had the patience to deal with older customers and on a recent visit to Best Buy; we let them know.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My new Sony was just installed yesterday. It is the latest model and replaced an older Sony that would no longer connect to WiFi. The pictures brilliant and the menu is easy to navigate, so setting it up is easy. I am very satisfied with this product.

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV excels in allowing me to see details in sporting events, &, notably, in dark(er), shadowed scenes in movies (Netflix & Prime) that formerly were frustratingly 'elusive'. Especially looking forward to the college/professional football seasons.

Genuinely outstanding picture quality.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned this TV for about a week and I feel confident that, despite the high price tag, this was an excellent purchase. The picture quality is simply superb across all types of content I’ve played on it, including 4K Blu-Ray films like Oppenheimer, streaming shows like The Last of Us, or live sports. It works flawlessly with my Apple TV and Sonos audio system. And it’s bright. Picture quality remains clear and enjoyable in our brightly lit living room. Genuinely, I love this TV. $3500 for a 65” TV is expensive, but it’s worth it when I know this screen will be with us for a long time to come.

||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!

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.

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!

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.

It is great to know you found the picture on the BRAVIA 8 II as the best picture you have ever seen on a TV! Our OLED panel provides truly black scenes and also it features Acoustic Surface Audio+™, hear true immersive audio from the entire screen, perfectly matching sound to the action.

We love the idea to include a sound bar and subwoofer to your setup, it will definitely deliver a cinema-like experience!

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.

Great viewing angle and brightness
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a difference a few years make in television technology. I upgraded from a 2012 Sony Bravia and my mind is blown. The picture quality was as good as expected but I am truly impressed by the brightness and the viewing angle. I don’t feel like I even need to swivel the televison anymore, no matter where I am in the the room, the picture is fantastic. Highly recommend.

Sony is on another level
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the 47 inch LG C5, then needed a bigger screen. Watched many reviews on Youtube before deciding to get the Sony Bravia 8 ii. It is quite a difference between the two products. The SDR is noticeable better on the Sony, along with gaming. The visual HDR in gaming is very noticeable as the Sony gives better colors and pop. I watch 4k HDR Youtube videos, and when i put the picture in Cinema Mode, wow oh wow I couldn't believe how great the picture quality is on this TV. I'm sticking with Sony, I only went with the LG C5 bc it was going to be my bedroom TV. I'm so glad that i upgraded.

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.
