55 Inch BRAVIA 8 II QD OLED 4K HDR Smart Google TV (K-55XR80M2) | Sony’s brightest OLED with max color, XR Processor with AI Technology, Ultra Slim Design, 4K movie credits included

In comparison to its predecessor, the A80J, the Bravia 8 II presents a significant evolution in Sony’s OLED technology. While not a revolutionary leap, it represents a substantial enhancement to the already impressive picture quality of the A80J. Design-wise, the Bravia 8 II retains Sony’s monolithic design, which was introduced a few years ago. The TV includes covers to conceal cables and create a sleek appearance from the back. The legs are now positioned on the sides, eliminating the inner position, which provides increased clearance and allows for the placement of a soundbar between the TV and the soundbar. Performance-wise, the Bravia 8 II demonstrates a remarkable evolutionary upgrade rather than a revolutionary transformation. While it may not be a new generation in the traditional sense, it serves as an enhancement to the already exceptional picture quality of the A80J. In gaming terms, the Bravia 8 II can be compared to the PS5 Pro in terms of its performance, refining and enhancing the base picture rather than completely transforming it. Interestingly, the picture quality of the Bravia 8 II is often comparable to that of its smaller siblings, which should not be interpreted as a negative aspect. However, when the content demands it, the significantly higher brightness and color saturation become evident, elevating the overall viewing experience. To fully appreciate the capabilities of the Bravia 8 II, it is recommended to seek out content that showcases its strengths, such as high-vibrancy animated movies like the Spider-Verse films or HDR gaming, where options are abundant. Specifically, the red tones receive a notable upgrade in many content types. Previously, they tended to exhibit a yellow hue at higher brightness levels, as seen in the fires in Horizon Zero Dawn. In the realm of gaming, several noteworthy enhancements have been introduced. Notably, the inclusion of the game bar and the Dolby Vision game mode stands out. The game bar activates upon pressing the menu button during game mode, presenting a new bar with specific features and settings for customization. These include enabling VRR or motion blur reduction, adding a crosshair, and allowing users to visually reduce the screen size for a closer viewing experience. The game bar operates efficiently, maintaining simplicity, cleanliness, and ease of use. The Dolby Vision game mode, as its name suggests, enables the playback of games in Dolby Vision with minimal input lag, particularly advantageous for Xbox users. For PlayStation users, the television offers the comprehensive suite of Perfect for PS5 automatic compatibility features, facilitating swift optimization of gameplay. Regarding audio, the internal speakers have proven to be a delightful surprise. Dialogue is rich and articulate, bass is present, and its impact is palpable. Additionally, the acoustic center sync functionality ensures that the television operates harmoniously with compatible sound systems. Sony’s approach to audio design is characterized by a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” philosophy, which I commend. In summary, the Bravia II exemplifies the zenith of Sony’s OLED quality, having undergone meticulous refinement and perfection. As a final testament to a fully owned Sony product before the Bravia Inc. joint venture with TCL commences, this television stands as one of the finest products the company has ever produced.

This purchase replaces a Bravia A90J and is viewed in a dark room. Unpacking and mounting is a 2 person job. It's heavier than its predecessor. Standard Google TV user interface set up: 10 minutes avg. Plugged in Apple TV and eARC to a Yamaha A8A 7.2.4 and was ready to go in minutes. Color, brightness and picture quality are outstanding out of the box in Dolby Vision. Additional settings to adjust image quality and sound are avail and easy to navigate. Only a slight bump in image quality, but the sound processing (or lack thereof via HDMI passthrough) via eArc surprised me the most, with more detail and overall "umpf". Image quality via Blu Ray has not been tested yet, but should be outstanding. Not a gamer, so VRR and 120Hz refresh won't be used much. Value for the money depends on your wallet and whether getting the best in its class matters to you. Sony makes excellent TVs at every tier.

Great TV! The colors just pop off the screen! Bought this in a package deal with the Sony Bravia Theater Quad Home Theater Speaker System with the SA-SW3 Wireless Subwoofer. The audio system and the subwoofer are AMAZING!! I have never had a surround system sound this impeccable and this immaculate! It is truly immersive sound and adds to the experience!

Love this tv. I only buy Sony tvs, they are still #1 in image processing. The acoustic audio is awesome too. The speakers are behind the glass so the sound comes towards you unlike most TVs where the speakers are behind the tv. Also, if you never owned an OLED, you’re missing out. By far best color, contrast, and of course perfect blacks. Don’t worry about that burn in stuff. Now TVs have so many features that protect that, this tv shifts its pixels on its own. So unless you keep your tv on for 3 months straight on a static image, don’t worry about that. One thing I will say, Amazon is great, but their drivers don’t know how to ship a tv. He opened the back of the truck and the tv was toppled over on an angle with another box on top. I was like you don’t strap TVs in. That’s a 3,000 dollar tv. He said no, it happens all the time with TVs. What is that? That’s just lack of common sense. Who trains these people!? Anyway, get the tv! Trust me

this is my first OLED and im glad i went with the creme de la creme of OLEDS theres a reason this is the king of TV's. ive been mind blown at this tv's ability to turn movie night into a special treat again, the colors POP, everything is vibrant and lively, its ability to upscale non 4k content is superb, the built in speakers are actually very decent, but a sound bar will be better course, im im waiting for the bravia theater 6 sound bar to go on sale again at $498, i bought this TV in November during Black friday for $2300, and have no regrets, if you want to enjoy the best picture and 4k richness just get a sony bravia 8 ii, youll be happy you did,

I wanted to like this TV, but my experience has been extremely disappointing. The picture quality may be good, but my Sony Bravia developed a serious audio problem where the sound became distorted, muffled, and sounded like it was underwater. At that point, the TV was not usable for normal viewing. This was not a small inconvenience. The TV has been and will be unusable for over a week and may become two weeks, and instead of a simple replacement or a clear resolution, the issue turned into a repair dispatch with parts being ordered and a third-party service provider involved. I included a redacted screenshot of Sony’s own dispatch email showing that the TV required service and that parts had to be ordered. What made the experience worse was that the same email confirming my TV needed service also included a pitch for a Sony Protection Plan. That felt extremely tone-deaf when I was already dealing with a premium TV that had become unusable. For a TV at this price level, I expected better reliability and a much better support experience. A premium TV should not become unusable because of an audio issue, and customers should not have to spend this much time chasing a working resolution. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this TV.

I have always owned Sony TVs and high fidelity equipment and, fortunately, never had any serious issues over the years. The Sony Bravia 8 II is by far the best quality television I have ever owned. The clarity is very detailed and the colors are bright and well-defined. There are so many built-in options to choose from that it takes days to become accustomed to all of them. The decision to purchase this Sony certainly has been a great experience and buying it from Amazon was another smart decision. The TV arrived on time, not damaged - in perfect condition - and the folks who delivered it were careful when unpacking it from the box. I recommend the Sony 65" Bravia 8 II to anyone who wishes to buy a high-quality product and also Amazon for a truly great experience.

Good: Nice picture quality. Bad: Unpack not as convenient as LG, you need a table or other surface vs the boxing designed to be able to use the box itself for setup. Anti-scratch cover needed to use a tool to remove, the adhesive tabs meant to help remove it were worthless. Power cord is a little in the short side. Only 1 port besides eARC supports full refresh rate. Requiring Google sign in to use any apps. Firmware updates take a very long time. None of the bad items are deal breakers but for the cost of the TV and Sonys former reputation of quality and attention to detail I expected better and did not expect the Koreans to be mogging them.

Después de mirar está TV, te va costar mirar otras TVs. Calidad de imagen excelente. Si la quieres para gamin, si requiere unos ligeros ajustes, ya que el modo que trae en automático, está un poco raro.

Excellent picture quality and a huge upgrade from my previous Sony TV. The colors, contrast, and HDR performance are incredible, especially for gaming on PS5. Black levels are outstanding and the image has a very cinematic look. The TV setup was straightforward but had a lot of data collection choices and the build quality feels premium. One thing I noticed on day 1 was some faint vertical tinting in a bright scene, but it disappeared shortly afterward and has not been an issue during normal use. My only frustration was with the shipping process. The estimated delivery date changed multiple times (Tuesday, then Wednesday, then Friday, then Saturday), which made planning difficult. However, this appears to be an Amazon delivery issue rather than a problem with the TV itself. Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end OLED for movies, streaming, and PS5 gaming.

Es de lo mejor en video y audio, el único pero que le pongo, es que no despliega en la pantalla cuando se ve una película en hdr o Dolby visión, por lo demás es de lo mejor.

I have 2 Lg Oleds, the last one is a c3. The image on this Bravia 8 ii is breathless. My first 4k I watched Fire and Ash, Avatar. I was blown away. I understand the price tag is higher than the G6 of LG but I am very, very happy in choosing The Bravia 8 ii.

Muy bonita si está cara pero vale la pena
