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!

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).

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.

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.

Video and Audio are stunning
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from an LG C9. The picture quality is amazing. I wasn’t expecting a big difference going from one OLED to another, but I’m impressed. Main reason I upgraded was cause the audio processing on the C9 was awful. Had issues getting great sound. The Bravia does a great job with audio processing and I’m able to play content at any quality.

Switched from Samsung A95L
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally purchased Samsung A95L, but after dealing with constant rebooting, laggy menus, and poor upscaling, I returned it and decided to try the Sony Bravia instead. I’m so glad I made the switch. This TV has been a completely different experience. The menu is fast and responsive, the upscaling is excellent, and streaming (including sports) looks dramatically better. Everything just works the way a flagship TV should. Overall, it feels like a much more polished product. Very happy with this TV and highly recommend it.

Probably the best TV in the World right now

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.

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.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from a Plasma TV with excellent cinematic picture qualities, this SONY Bravia 8 II definitely does not make me wish I still had my Plasma. If the content being watched is of high quality, it's almost like you are watching something real and not an image. Colors are excellent and lifelike.

Excellent picture quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent. The picture quality is really nice. Too bad this did not come in 77' version. Also, I wish Sony would dress up their stands with a robust center mount with nice finish. Current models are very basic aesthetically. Not everyone mounts their screens on walls Sony. The remote could be ergonomically improved too. A lot of wasted space that could be utilized.
