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).

“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

Best in class
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this huge Bravia to replace a 55" Roku HD TV that was some seven years old and had been a disappointment in most ways from the beginning. We just started viewing this Sony Bravia and it is, in a word, spectacular, the colors so vivid and high def, and the sound clear, without the lack of balance that made it hard to hear dialogue on the Roku. I ordered it from Best Buy online but checked it out in operation at the store before picking it. A sales clerk came over and enthusiastically complimented on my choice, saying it was by far the best TV in the store and his personal favorite.

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.

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.

Best buy let me return it and upgrade to the MKII Bravia 8 O heck Yea! picture to kill for, I showed her the turn off screen feature,when using anything like pause or static image.

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!

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!
