best TV picture
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing colors, picture and sound, sharpness, no words to describe it just perfect, the showroom at Best Buy might be scary to decide but one's at home no regrets $$$$. 4 stars for remote control lacs numeric pad and no more stereo output from TV HDMI ARC signal to home theater system.

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).
I would recommend this to a friend The best picture for movies.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a movie-phile. loved the Tv, but. excellent picture quality. I had a sony Z9D prior to this. So i was used to super high brightness and very good deep blacks. straight out of the box, colors are vibrant, contrast is clean, and imiage processing was awesome. playing 4K moves through the UPB 700 from sony was breathtaking. i didn't see a need to calibrate the tv. peak brightness on scenes was superb. streaming through an apple tv 4K latest gen, was also very good. it read dolby vision content, and played back no issues. rendering the low nitrate content was also very good. hard to tell you were streaming 4K dolby vision content. streaming SDR content was all very good. it did a very good job at cleaning up and upscaling the content. The interface is one of my favorites. i can access the settings very quickly and out fuz if i needed to adjust anything. it was also great that i could use the tv panel sound and paired to with my surround so i could add more clarity with the center channel i have hooked up. As for why i had to change and go for the LG G5. it's because of the lack of HDMI 2.1 ports. it only had 2 compared to 4 on the LG. i had to unplug and plug things in like the blue ray, apple tv, and xbox so i can take full advantage of 120 frames while gaming, full spectrum bandwidth while streaming for dolby vision and dolby atmos for my older marantz reviver.

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.

Can't Beat A Sony!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is amazing and so worth the money! I had a Sony Bravia TV for eight years prior to buying this one and the picture quality was excellent. This new Bravia II model is far superior which I didn't think was possible. Looking at the Sony models side by side in the store helped me to make my decision to spend the extra money. Also, I got a great Black Friday deal. The technology and picture quality is far superior to all of the other competitors. The install was very easy and the intuitive technology made my Sonos surround sound system setup a breeze. I highly recommend this TV.

Coming from the A80j which is still running strong.

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.

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.

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.

Best TV ever!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wife and i went to replace an 8 year old Sony XBR 65 inch. We were going to jump to a 75inch, even though it wasn't necessary. When we got to Best Buy. The picture on this TV absolutely blew ever TV up there out of the water! I have always wanted a high end OLED. My wife fell in love too. We were sold! Its a 65 inch and was $500 more than i wanted to spend but the quality is outstanding! My family members and friends are also blown away. Its so nice i highly recommend this TV!

We are so happy that you and your wife fell in love with the BRAVIA 8 II! Upgrading from an 8-year-old Sony is a big jump, and there is truly nothing like that first experience with a high-end OLED—the infinite contrast and "pure black" really do make a world of difference.
