Sony Bravia 8 II

S Smart Home Sounds MIL-DOC · owner · Sept 2025

So, I pulled the trigger and went with the SONY Bravia 8 II 65 inch (with my failed TV and some extra cash) and I am happy. I have owned it for 6 months and it is a superb TV with all kinds of adjustments. It is much brighter and more color accurate than my old TV. I was never a SONY fan, always went with SAMSUNG but I think SONY has surpassed SAMSUNG.

The Sony BRAVIA 8 II, for its part, is the 2025 successor to the Sony A95L OLED, one of the best OLEDs we have ever reviewed. Is the new BRAVIA 8 II an able successor to the A95L? And how does it fare against Samsung’s mid-range S90F? Well.

Now, let's be clear: the Sony Bravia 8 II is still the better TV. It's brighter, more vibrant and more refined, producing an even more cinematic and authentic picture. Its built-in sound system is also leagues ahead of the LG's, delivering audio that's fuller, weightier and more immersive than almost any other TV.

If you're looking for an amazing picture, look no further than the Sony Bravia 8 II OLED!

The richer blacks and easier user interface turned the Sony Bravia 8 II into my first choice being quite the cinephile. Along with the ease of install without having to deal with Samsung's One Connect Box (Sounds like a headache, although the 2.1 HDMI outlets are nice in comparison to 2.0 on the Sony Bravia).

Today, we're going to be checking out 2025's best TV of the year, the Sony Bravia 8 Mark 2. All right, so I may be a little bit late on this review, but I wanted to get this in because lately I've been uploading a lot of my videos to YouTube in HDR, and I wanted to get something in where I can check my workflow or just check my work to see what it would look like on YouTube.

Overall, the BRAVIA 8ii is an excellent TV that provides some of the best calibrated cinematic image quality on the market with excellent image processing and tone mapping. But the competition this year is intense, and the BRAVIA 8ii has a real fight on its hands. It comes highly recommended.

The Sony Bravia 8 II is Sony’s TV flagship for 2025 and today it goes against the Samsung S90F which is not the Flagship even though it performs like one. This is an epic battle between two amazing TV'S. You tell me who you think wins.

The Sony Bravia 8 II offers a lot when it comes to power, processing and features. The 65-inch screen offers 4K visuals with rich colors thanks to the QD OLED screen, and it has an impressive refresh rate of 120 Hz, making it a fantastic choice for gaming.

Credit to Sony for including a power cable that can be partially detached. "Partially" because, unlike some earlier models, the connector is not placed directly on the TV but instead on an extension piece, splitting the power cable into two parts.

Both are incredible QD OLEDs and among my favorite TVs of 2025. Now CES is going to be all about micro RGB and RGB mini LEDs in general. I've seen plenty of them and I will bring you that footage when I am at CES in just a few weeks. But let's not forget about OLED, especially quantum dot OLEDs which in my opinion is still the best image quality on the planet, especially these two beautiful TVs th

I have the Sony Bravia 8ii 65' and 55" It's the best TV I've ever had. I don't think making a 75+ Bravia 8ii would be profitable because the TV would be 5K plus, 4x the price of the competitor.

So, I've been testing out Sony's latest OLED TV, the Bravia 82, and honestly, I'm pretty impressed with what they've done here. This thing is noticeably brighter than Sony's previous OLED model, and the picture quality is legitimately competing with the best OLEDs out there right now. But here's what really caught me off guard, the sound.

I also saw exceptionally good BT.2020 color reproduction meaning the Bravia 8 II should be capable of faithfully representing just about any HDR content on the market today.

Sony just “gets it right” with picture quality and ease of use

Ultimately, the Bravia 8 II did win that competition, which speaks for itself regardless of individual opinions or however Sony chooses to position the TV in their line up.

We loved it so much that we awarded it top spot in our best OLED TVs guide, as well as a much-coveted What Hi-Fi? Award . We think it's worth every single penny.

Sony may use display panels from other companies, but how it tunes those panels and processes is often considered to be the best in the business.

Just got this model. I am delighted with it. I don’t watch the tv under flood lights so the lower brightness is not an issue. Happy days.

I agree. I bought it and it’s amazing.

E ecoustics.com Chris Boylan · reviewer

Highly recommended.

My only real complaint with the TV is the BRAVIA Connect app. While the app provides really rich control over the TV, giving you direct access to every app you’ve installed, as well as quick access to picture adjustments and menu control, it frequently wouldn’t connect. It would say the TV was offline and not connected to the network, even though it was actively streaming something.

Sony definitely pushes the boundaries of what it's Bravia engine can do on TV and the Bravia 8 II sets a standard. but it's not without its share of short comings. let take a closer look at Sony's flagship TV!

When I applied certain settings to a specific input, then switched to another input and returned, some of the settings I had applied were reset or gone. 2. The TV sends Dolby audio from the PS5 to my AVR, even though the PS5 is set to output LPCM. These issues aren’t covered in any reviews I’ve seen—you really have to own the TV to discover them.

That said, despite using the latest gen QD OLED panel from Samsung Display, Sony has decided against utilizing the full potential of the hardware. Full screen brightness remained kept at 250 nits, similar to the A95L, and HDRP brightness didn't go as high as other 2025 flagship OLEDs such as the Samsung S35F equipped with the same QD OLED panel.

R RTINGS Home Theater techquad1151 · owner · Jul 2025

The same goes for Sony — the 2023 Bravia models are still better than the new Bravia 8 II from 2025. The new TVs coming out over the next few years aren’t really better; that’s mostly marketing. The focus now is cost‑cutting and energy efficiency, not picture quality.

It has everything to be a top notch 2025 OLED, but is it worth its expensive price tag?

Bravia 8 MK 2 picture looks more pleasing to me overall. But 65 doesn't go for me. I want an at least 77 with top upscaling for full HD sports and old movies. Might go for the upcoming sony bravia 6 woled.

Sony Bravia 8 II is actually the first TV that has something I call "sparkle". Sony is going in the right direction, although HDR doesn't quite do its job.

Acoustic Surface Audio Plus is awesome for in this TV. Um, the sound comes from the screen mimicking a movie theater. Now, personally, I do not have an audio system. Uh, for audio, I use headphones such as the Sony WH000XM6s or the Bravia Theater U if I don't want headphones on my head.

However, with no 77-inch Bravia 8 II currently available, the A95L remains Sony’s most premium large-format OLED.
