Poor manufacture quality and defects
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it on 11/28/2025. And started finding the Red thick vertical lines on the screen after less than 2 months usage, confirmed it's not issue of loosen HDMI or any inpurt port, because this lines are there no matter which page i am in.It's annoying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi YupengS,
We are very sorry to hear about the red vertical lines appearing on your screen. We understand how frustrating this is, especially with a new television, and we appreciate you confirming that the cables and ports are not the cause.
To help determine if this is a software glitch, please try the following steps:
1. Power Reset: Unplug the TV from the power outlet and leave it unplugged for a full 2 minutes. Plug it back in and check if the lines persist.
2. Self-Diagnostics: You can run an internal check by navigating to: Settings > System > Help > Status and diagnostics > Self diagnostics.
If those red lines remain visible during the diagnostic test or the home screen, it likely indicates an issue that needs professional attention. We highly encourage you to contact our Technical Support team immediately so we can look into your warranty options and further assist you:

We want to make sure your BRAVIA experience is nothing short of excellent, and we’re here to help get this resolved.
Thank you for considering Sony!

Amazing Picture, Bad Product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The panel on this TV is magnificent. I truly have never seen a better picture on a display. If the only thing you care about is the panel you won’t be disappointed. The rest of the TV though does not measure up to that high bar. When removing the plastic packaging tape that wraps the TV the tape clung to and pealed away the plastic covering on the frame of mine leaving ugly defects along the bottom center of the screen. Sony refused to honor the warranty and I’m left with high-glare detatched plastic running along the bottom of the TV. Sony assures me this is not a manufacturing defect so expect the same on yours. The TV also struggles with my Sonos Arc Ultra - the TV sets the sound to 0 when I turn it on and Inhave to manually turn it back up every time. Once a week the TV stops emitting sound and I have to pop the back cable cover off the TV and unplug and replug it to get the sound bar working again. The bar works fine with other TVs. Overall fantastic panel shipped in a junk product.

Posted .Thank you for sharing this detailed feedback, SadTVOwner.
We are genuinely thrilled to hear your high praise for the K-65XR80M2 panel, and it is rewarding to know you believe you have "never seen a better picture on a display." Delivering magnificent picture quality is our primary focus, and we are glad that aspect is meeting your expectations.
However, we are truly sorry and concerned to read about the significant issues you have experienced regarding the packaging, the frame defect, and the ongoing, persistent communication problems with your soundbar. We sincerely apologize that the overall experience has fallen short of the premium standard you deserve.
We understand how frustrating it is to have a cosmetic defect on your new, premium television, especially one caused during the removal of protective materials. We regret that our previous support response did not satisfy your concern regarding the damage. We take quality control and packaging seriously, and we will share your specific experience regarding the tape adhesion and the resulting peeling of the protective plastic with our packaging team for immediate internal review.
We acknowledge that the volume resetting to 0 and the weekly need to unplug/replug the HDMI cable are unacceptable disruptions, and we apologize for this daily inconvenience. These issues typically point to a persistent communication conflict between the TV (CEC) and the soundbar.
We would like to help you resolve this so you can enjoy the seamless operation you expect. Please try the comprehensive troubleshooting steps outlined in our Community response, specifically performing the CEC Handshake.
If you would like direct, personalized assistance to resolve the soundbar issues, or if the problem persists after troubleshooting, please contact our dedicated support specialists here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv
We are committed to helping you find a solution and truly regret that the surrounding components have detracted from the panel's magnificent performance. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for choosing Sony.

High contrast, deep blacks, and vibrant colors
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this tv for a large room with big windows. No matter the setting, our previous tv struggled to combat the glare and really lacked contrast which we were never really able to combat even when taking measure to darken the room. This tv has incredible high contrast, deep deep blacks, and vibrant colors. Those previous issues are totally solved with the purchase of this tv.

Fantastic Picture Quality and Excellent Geek Squad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Bravia 8 II has an outstanding picture — deep blacks, vibrant colors, and impressive clarity that make everything look lifelike. Motion is smooth, and the overall viewing experience is excellent. I used Best Buy’s Geek Squad for delivery and setup since it’s a large 65-inch TV, and I’m glad I did. They handled everything carefully, made sure it was in perfect condition, and had it up and running quickly. The Google TV interface is easy to navigate, and my Sonos Playbar pairs perfectly for great sound. The design is sleek and modern, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend both the TV and the Geek Squad setup service.

Best feeling this year!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth the wait. I'm a Movie guy and not into gaming so what I look for in a TV is more on the 'movie theatre' experience. Amazing performance. A tree is a tree and the black/dark scenes are just that, no strange weird shading or discoloration when a screen is attempting to project Black. Sometimes I spend 10 to 15 minutes just watching my Google Photos because it's just fun and satisfying to watch the screen saver high def pictures. I can see the whiskers on my Pomchi. No buyers remorse, no looking at other reviews, case closed. Best purchase of the year and I feel my hard earned money was put to good use.

The TV to beat for PQ accuracy and refinement
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the exception of a cheap TCL and a Samsung Frame for guest rooms, I've stuck with Sony TVs for the last 15+ years for the picture calibration, ergonomics and overall quality. There's a reason Sony TVs are noticeably heavier than their Samsung equivalent - they are built to a higher standard. Out of over a dozen units across my family, not a single TV has failed - even my 2009 XBR9 is still going strong. So disclaimer that I have a bias towards the brand. I have also purchased 4 other Sony OLEDs - the A8H, A9S, A80J and A80K, and have seen the incremental improvements over time. I pulled the trigger on this despite the mixed RTINGS review and general consensus that the latest LG and Samsung flagships have some brightness and feature advantages. Initially, I was struck by how nuanced and film-like the picture was - it really looked quite different from any other TV I've used before - but SDR was shockingly dim in Cinema/Professional modes. It turns out there is a critical setting you MUST change - Peak Luminance. Make sure this is set to "High" before you evaluate! I have been using Professional mode with settings close to the RTINGS calibration, with a couple tweaks to taste. Once set up, the picture quality is shockingly cinematic, natural and refined. Motion is buttery smooth without resorting to any interpolation processing gimmicks. Dolby Vision content on Netflix has a film-like warmth and subtlety to it, with impressive dynamic range between dark and bright scenes. It's not just that brightness and shadow detail are better than my other OLEDs, which they are, but it captures the "feel" of different scenes much more completely. Dusk and nighttime scenes really feel like dusk and night rather than just being dim, and daytime scenes have a realistic brilliance to them. And different films/shows look more differentiated from each other, giving a stronger sense of the aesthetic the director was aiming for. It reminds me a lot of upgrading to very high-end loudspeakers (I'm a wacko audiophile) that have better frequency response and resolution - not everything sounds better (in fact, bad recordings often sound worse), but you can hear so much more range and detail to everything. While I've never used a mastering monitor before, Sony's claims that this is the closest they've gotten to studio quality in a consumer TV resonate - it feels like you are that much closer to the original source. My other OLEDs, while still great, look decidedly more "ordinary" now. It's my first QD-OLED so I can't say how it compares to other brands or the A95L, but I will say it handles my very bright living room well - it's very watchable in daylight (not direct sunlight mind you) with minimal glare and washout and wide viewing angles. By comparison, an older X900F LCD I had was literally unwatchable in the same conditions. I'm using a Sennheiser Amber soundbar, so can't comment on built-in sound quality. Android TV UI isn't as fast as e.g. a Google TV 4K Streamer, but quite snappy which is a relief given my A8H has become borderline unusable with Android 11. Hopefully the cpu/ram in the Bravia 8 II will be sufficient for a while. All in all, a great TV that I plan to keep for a long time. Recommended!

One of the BEST picutres on the market
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Third-party ratings are only a starting point, and IMO your eyes should be the deciding factor. I stopped by my local BestBuy to compare various TVs from Sony, Samsung, and TCL. IMO, the Sony Bravia 8 II had the best picture of any TV in the store, including the Sony Bravia 8. This TV has amazing clarity and upscaling, and the only comparable TVs were from the Samsung S90 Series. I also give Sony an enormous pat on the back as their TV stand setup is superior to any other TV manufacturer. The metal TV stands can be installed while the TV is still in the packaging (just slide the TV stand's pegs into TV, then insert the screws), no need to flip the TV and potentially damage the screen. I have a few minor issues with the TV: The TV is expensive, but that's expected when purchasing a high-end Sony (amazing picture quality and processing). I found the Samsungs (S90 Series) to be brighter than the Bravia 8 II. Currently, the Bravia 8 II is only available in 55" and 65" (which is strange, there aren't larger screen options). The remote is not backlit (this is minor, and most don't use the remotes that come with the TV, but for the price, I would expect this feature (available on higher-end TCLs). Overall, I believe the Bravia 8 II has the best picture I've seen in 2025/2026. That being said, there are several TVs on the market that would satisfy 90% of the population at a more affordable price (FYI: We purchased a TCL QM7K for our bedroom, and it is a beautiful TV, especially with HDR content; however, it doesn't upscale as well as the Sony).
