Sony BRAVIA 8 II review

Sony BRAVIA 8 II is the home theater pick for buyers who care most about color and already own Sony gear. Sony uses a QD-OLED panel with more than 8 million self-lit pixels and says it produces its highest OLED brightness, with XR Triluminos Max for billions of accurate colors and the XR Processor enhancing each scene. Sony supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced content through SONY PICTURES CORE, and the TV comes with 10 movie credits and 24 months of streaming. With a PS5 connected directly, Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode set the picture for you, and Acoustic Center Sync works with compatible Sony soundbars and AV receivers. Sony listed the 65-inch at $2,499.99, down from $3,299.99, when we checked. The catch is size: only 55 and 65 inches are offered. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the TV ourselves.
