Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far I am happy with this purchase. The different brands have their various pros and cons. The Sonys have better motion handling than Samsung and support dolby vision. I would have knocked it down a star for how expensive it is when you can buy another brand's 2024 model for a third of the price... but the current pricing is in line with the top tvs of the other manufacturers. Personally, I think the 65 inch should be more like $2300, though. The Sony oddly does not have nearly as high of a max brightness as the other brands, but it outdoes them in clarity and crispness of the picture, which I care more about. Most people will still want a sound bar of speaker system, but the onboard audio on the 65 inch is probably the best onboard audio of any current tvs on the market. The one thing I wish they had done better at is the out of the box calibration. Some professional review sites showed it not having very great out of the box calibrations like some monitors have been having.

I purchased a 65-in Sony Bravia 8i and I can only say this TV is nothing short of spectacular. I have a 65-in Panasonic z95b in the living room and this Sony TV in the bedroom and I love it just as much as the Panasonic. It's not quite as bright as the Panasonic, but the qd OLED colors are absolutely stunning. I do love the Google OS much better than the Amazon OS. It is neat seeing how even though both TVs are OLED the difference between qdoled and the primary four stack OLED.. I will say the Panasonic has more three-dimensionality but the Sony has a unique look to it when watching movies and TV shows that I feel you only get from the Sony. The QD OLED oled colors are unmatchable and I was debating between the Sony and the Samsung s95f and I'm glad I went with Sony as I just feel like it's a more premium television and I prefer the glossy panel over the matte. I also believe the Sony like the Panasonic will last much longer than the Samsung or LG oleds due to a better cooling system. I feel like This TV will last much longer before burn in is an issue then the Samsung or LG G5. The sound is extremely good for television speakers also much better than the Samsung or LG. It doesn't match or come near the Panasonic but that's to be as expected as that TV comes with its own soundbar and speakers going up the left and right side as well as on top. Overall, I am more than happy with the Sony Bravia 8 Mark II and would recommend this TV to anybody as Sony just makes some of the best TVs for Cinema watching. I will say however, if your preference or main use is gaming then I would go with LG G5 or Samsung s95f or even Panasonic z95b unless you are only gaming on a console, In which case the 120 HZ panel is all you can get out of PlayStation 5 or Xbox series x and the Sony does match that

The Sony Bravia 8 II is a top-tier OLED TV with stunning visuals, exceptional sound, and a polished smart platform. While it falls short of rivals in peak brightness and gaming connectivity, its cinematic precision and audio prowess make it a fantastic choice for movie lovers and those seeking a premium all-in-one TV experience.

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.

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.

There has been some controversy about Sony's Bravia 8K picture quality, but I can assure you, after a month of watching all kinds of content, that this TV shines in virtually every way. SDR is superb and, by far, where I saw the most noticeable difference compared to my previous TV (Hisense U7K). HDR, tough not the brightest on paper against other flagships, is plenty bright for most use cases, certainly for mine. And the speakers' sound is great, but I paired it with a Sony Bravia soundbar 6 to make it even better. If you're someone who's really into the tagline "Cinema's coming home" (meaning, you watch your TV in a room with dimmed lights and little interference), you're going to love watching content on it. If that is not your use case, there are other options elsewhere. Of course, viewing experience ultimately depends on content quality, and although no TV can perform miracles, the Sony Bravia 8 ii comes close. Highly recommended.

Absolutely the best TV I've ever bought. I have it in a room that gets a lot of sunlight with the windows behind it. It reduces reflection really well using dolby vision bright and vivid. Thr picture is amazing and the black levels are the best I've seen even in bright rooms. I replaced a 2018 LG C8 OLED and this TV is worth every penny at 3K. I also switched out all my cables including Ethernet cables with high end audioquest cables (apple TV, ps5, bose ultrasound bar) and noticed a significant difference with picture/sound clarity/streaming clarity. If you buy a Sony at this price point, spend the extra money for high cables to maximize performance ($50-$70 a pop). I look forward to years enjoying my favorite movies as well as gaming experience with ps5.

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.

Phenomenal picture, easy to set up. Heard that Samsung and LG may be brighter, but I can't imagine anyone having a problem with this tv's brightness. Only complaints is I wish Sony provided guidance on calibration, instead of having to rely on rtings and other sites. Maybe they have it but I couldn't find. Would also prefer more than 1 HDMI 2.1 port, since one is for earc.

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.

I can’t say this loud enough! BEST PICTURE EVER. Not only is the picture quality top notch but the ease of setting up and the stand is excellent. For the first time we are able to push our sound bar under it and out of the way

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!

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

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

The best TV I have ever owned. Excellent picture, brightness and contrast, far exceeding my expectations. I received great service from my salesperson at the store and the delivery team.

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.

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!

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

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 is the best TV in the market today. Sony's reliability, excellent sound, lovely combination of resolution-brightness and perfect size for a drawing room. Best Buy priced it reasonably and it was time to buy. Excellent Buy.
