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

Installation is 17+ days - unacceptable
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is great, I bought over $55,000 worth of TVs, PCs, Tablets, printers, and hundreds of cables but Why do I have to wait 17 days after purchasing this TV and a Sound bar - BB does/t have to support to install a new TV 17 day wait is too long. Store manger said Corporate has cut back on the number of installers l Go find another TV supplier who can install and support the products they sell. Talked to Geek Squad and the guy just hung up on me. Written 2 letter to the CEO and no response.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, MiltongK.
We are sorry to hear that the picture quality of your K-65XR80M2 isn't matching what you saw in-store. Often, store displays use specific "Vivid" settings that may need to be adjusted for home lighting.
We recommend checking your picture mode settings or reaching out to our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv so we can help you optimize the display to your liking.

Bad TV not sound

Posted .Hi Masterlixx,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are truly sorry to hear that your new BRAVIA 8 II is experiencing audio issues so soon after purchase. We understand how disappointing this is, especially when you expect premium quality and performance from our latest TV lineup.
To help resolve this immediately, we recommend trying these three quick troubleshooting steps:
1- Perform a Power Cycle: Unplug the TV from the wall power outlet for approximately 2 minutes, then plug it back in. This often clears minor software glitches.
2- Verify Audio Output: Disconnect any external audio devices (soundbars or headphones). Ensure the TV is set to use its internal speakers by navigating to:
Settings > Display & Sound > Audio Output > Speakers > TV Speakers.
3- Test Multiple Sources: Check if the sound is missing across all inputs. Please test internal apps like YouTube or Netflix to determine if the issue is specific to an external device (like a cable box or game console) or the TV itself.
We want to take care of this for you as soon as possible. If the sound does not return after these steps, please contact our dedicated technical support team directly here:
https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv
We value your loyalty and are committed to restoring your confidence in Sony quality.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi RyanK,
We are sorry to hear that the color accuracy of your BRAVIA 8 II has not met your expectations. For the most precise and natural color profile, we recommend switching the picture mode to "Professional" (or "Custom") and setting the Color Temperature to "Expert 1," which is designed to meet industry standards for accuracy. Additionally, ensuring that "Vivid Colors" and "Live Color" are turned off in the settings will prevent the TV from oversaturating the image beyond the original content's intent.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
Sony has done it again... only much better!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the Sony Bravia 8 ii for over a month now and feel that this TV is the best product on the market and many of the reviewers also confirms it. Everyone who sees my TV all say its the best overall picture even though they may have just bought a new TV from a different manufacture. I had some doubts about the cost of the Bravia 8 ii verses the other TV's that are being offered by Best Buy... but after careful consideration, I felt it was worth spending the extra money in buying the best TV out there... and Best Buy also was also having a sale on the Bravia 8 ii which swayed me even more to purchase. I've been very happy with my purchase of the Sony Bravia 8 ii... its worth it!

We are thrilled to hear that the BRAVIA 8 II has exceeded your expectations! It’s wonderful to know that even after comparing it to other brands, you and your guests find the picture quality to be the best on the market. We’re glad the sale helped make your decision even easier, and we’re confident you’ll continue to enjoy that premium cinematic experience for years to come.

Best tv I’ve ever had
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went from a 9 year old Samsung edge lit led to this oled. Very noticeable difference. Colors are deeper and more vibrant. Motion handling is better. So far I love it. Some reviews say it’s not bight compared to others…..I had to turn my brightness down.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, rcbc96!
What an incredible upgrade! Moving from an older edge-lit LED to the Bravia 8 II OLED is a huge jump, and we’re thrilled you’re seeing that "very noticeable difference" in color depth and motion handling. It's especially interesting to hear your take on the brightness—everyone's viewing environment is unique, so we're glad it’s providing plenty of punch for your space!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Outstanding picture quality, audio lagging
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To begin, the picture is outstanding! Even in my reasonably bright family room, there was no glare and the picture was bright enough to overcome the incoming sunlight during the day. Unfortunately I returned it due to an audio lag with the HDMI cable box input that started around 45 minutes of viewing and got progressively worse. Restarting the tv brought the picture and sound back together for another 45-60 minutes. I tried all suggestions on the Sony site AI, but could never get through to a live person. So as much as I enjoyed the outstanding picture quality, the audio lag issue was too much. Seeing the plethora of “fixes” available for the Bravia series, I reluctantly decided to swap it for another brand.

Posted .Hi GaryF,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. While we are happy to hear that you found the picture quality outstanding—especially its performance in your bright family room—we are truly sorry that the audio lag on your cable box input led to your decision to return the TV.
Please know that your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. We understand how frustrating it is to have your viewing interrupted, and we have shared your specific comments regarding the HDMI sync issues and your experience with our support channels directly with our product development team. Feedback like yours is vital as we work to refine and improve the BRAVIA experience.
Thank you for giving Sony a try. We genuinely hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a seamless, high-quality entertainment experience in the future.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I Love This T.V. ……. The geek squad set up my TV with my cable box and told me my TV will work the same even though I purchased a smart TV, they failed to put it on the Internet. I purchased the set up and demonstrate. I also purchased the component add-on and demonstration, they never turned on my Blu-ray player. All they did was set up the cable box and told me the TV will work the same as my old one. I notified Best Buy and Ben the area manager told me there’s a charge to plug-in the component even though they didn’t turn it on and tell me how to work it. Ben the area manager is refusing to credit me.

Great Experience!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We first purchased the 65 inch Bravia 8 II Oled 4K, but found out when it was delivered that the two TV legs are not adjustable so the TV was too wide for our TV stand. I called Sony and they directed us back to our sales rep, Raquel. She immediately canceled the transaction and suggetsed the Bravia 8 Oled 4K which had the adjustable legs we needed and the new TV was delivered in a couple of days. Raquel was fantastic throughout the process and the two gentlemen who delivered the TV did an excellent job!
