Reviewer verdict

Across 12 YouTube reviews, the Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED earns an Index score of 3.9/5, ranking #60 among TVs. Reviewers most often praise its picture quality, sound quality, design & build, while the most common criticisms concern other, picture quality.

The Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED is repeatedly praised for its outstanding picture performance, with many reviewers (110 mentions) highlighting superb contrast, deep OLED blacks, vivid and accurate colors, strong HDR highlights and class-leading upscaling and motion processing from Sony's XR engine. Reviewers also commonly note excellent reflection handling and improved SDR/HDR brightness versus prior Sony models, plus very good screen uniformity and viewing angles for an OLED. Built-in audio is another frequent positive (25 mentions), with the acoustic surface audio plus system and clear dialogue localization receiving consistent approval. Reviewers further like the premium design, flexible stand options and gaming-ready features such as 4K@120Hz support and low input lag, while connectivity, Google TV and ease of use earn generally favorable remarks across multiple mentions.

Criticisms focus on limited size and HDMI options and brightness tradeoffs: reviewers note the BRAVIA 8 is only offered in 55 and 65 sizes and typically has just two full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports (multiple cons across connectivity and size). Several reviewers point out that peak/full‑screen brightness and SDR brightness lag some 2025 flagship or rival OLEDs and mini‑LEDs, and some observed near‑black quirks, raised near‑black levels or tone‑mapping/accuracy issues in certain modes (18–30 mentions across picture and other). Gaming and advanced users also flagged higher input lag at some refresh rates, lack of certain gaming/PC frame rates, and complaints about Sony choosing not to fully exploit the panel in some respects. A smaller number of reviewers found the remote and some ergonomic details lacking and called the price on the high side.

Cons (80)

Other (30)

despite using the latest gen QD OLED panel from Samsung Display, Sony has decided against utilizing the full potential of the hardware. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 0:59
no 75 or 77 inch variant ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II OLED: Worth The Premium Price? @ 10:02
doesn't really have any streaming game streaming services ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II OLED: Worth The Premium Price? @ 5:02
Leaving it on can lead to odd near black artifacts, swirly flickery patterns that creep into the image, even the top and bottom letter box bars. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 2:42
a noticeable kink coming out of black on our 55 in Bravo 8 Mach I review sample resulting in a visible break in near black transition. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 7:10
price is a bit of a stretch at 3,499 ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II OLED: Worth The Premium Price? @ 10:46
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. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 1:11
as with previous Sony OLEDs, the Bravia 8 M I does not support HDI or sourcebased tone mapping. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 9:44
only comes in two sizes, 55 and 65 ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II OLED: Worth The Premium Price? @ 0:45
remote control is not backlit ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II OLED: Worth The Premium Price? @ 10:21
Sony remains the lone hold out on filmmaker mode. ▶ Reviewing the Original Sony BRAVIA 8 - Worth It? @ 3:39
some clipping in very bright scenes ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II OLED: Worth The Premium Price? @ 9:20
PQF tracking in the most accurate Dolby Vision dark picture mode was still slightly brighter than reference. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 2:03
only two HDMI ports that are 4K120 and one of them is the ER port ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II OLED: Worth The Premium Price? @ 5:33
As with most if not all Sony TVs, the Bravia 8 M I couldn't achieve absolute blacks in the most accurate Dolby Vision dark picture preset, whether from external sources or from internal apps, leading to the faintest glow visible in a pitch black room when the video fades to full screen black. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 2:10
only two out of four HDMI connections are HDMI 2.1 inputs supporting the full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth of 48 GBs per second, of which one is the ER port. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 9:15
For those of you seeking a more immersive viewing experience, the Bravia 8 M I does not go larger than 65 in, and its HDR peak brightness lacks behind similarly priced 2025 flagship OLEDs ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 14:05
limited HDMI ports ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II OLED: Worth The Premium Price? @ 9:49
input lag in game mode measures 16 milliseconds at 60 frames per second, hinging to 8 milliseconds at 120 FPS, which is not the quickest on the market ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 8:41
owing to the lack of a polarizer in the QD OLED panel, the screen would turn gray, particularly when hit by direct light ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 12:36
we couldn't obtain 444 chroma even in PC and game mode at 4K HDR 120 Hz ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 11:25
fell slightly short of expectations was in native 10 bit gradation. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 6:41
To match the standards, if you want absolute accuracy, you'll need to lower the panel luminance to medium, but that then cuts your peak brightness to 450 nits. It's a little bit of a letdown. ▶ Reviewing the Original Sony BRAVIA 8 - Worth It? @ 4:38
Some minor black overshoot was observed with lower bit rate content, but nothing that was too distracting. ▶ Reviewing the Original Sony BRAVIA 8 - Worth It? @ 6:18
Sony's logo detection auto dimming algorithm was more aggressive in SDR mode at higher peak luminance settings. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV Review @ 11:54
there is a slight hiccup. We're missing a color management system, a CMS, and we only have a 10 point grayscale control instead of the usual 20 point. ▶ Reviewing the Original Sony BRAVIA 8 - Worth It? @ 3:27
It's a strong mid-range contender, but it really does face some very stiff competition, like the LG C5, which offers more brightness, better accuracy, and gaming features. ▶ Reviewing the Original Sony BRAVIA 8 - Worth It? @ 7:37
the HDR images are over bright, and if you value accuracy, then the LG C5 would be a better solution for you in that regard. ▶ Reviewing the Original Sony BRAVIA 8 - Worth It? @ 6:30
Keep in mind though that one of these HDMI 2.1 ports is also used for E ARC, which limits the number of available HDMI 2.1 ports if that feature is needed for something like a soundbar or similar. ▶ Reviewing the Original Sony BRAVIA 8 - Worth It? @ 7:17
Another concern is the PQOTF tracking is a little bit on the bright side of the standard and that translates to an over bright image. ▶ Reviewing the Original Sony BRAVIA 8 - Worth It? @ 4:30

Picture Quality (18)

solidly in the mid-range for OLED. And the brightness is kind of commiserate with that ▶ Sony Bravia 8 Review - Sleeper Deal of 2025? @ 5:19
OLEDs suffer compared to brighter miniLEDDs ▶ Sony Bravia 8 Review - Sleeper Deal of 2025? @ 5:09
around 800 nits. And that's okay. And particularly in a very dark room, it's going to give you a lot of pop. But in bright rooms, uh, brighter content, it's not going to perform as well as the higherend OLEDs or the mini LEDs ▶ Sony Bravia 8 Review - Sleeper Deal of 2025? @ 5:26
may struggle a little bit is going to be in very bright rooms ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II Hands-On: Stunning Picture, But Is It Enoug @ 7:49
it's not super bright in terms of OLED any longer ▶ Bravia 8 - Sony's Newest Premium OLED TV @ 12:38
this is just an OLED ▶ Bravia 8 - Sony's Newest Premium OLED TV @ 0:22
it's not not quite as blistering bright as maybe it could be ▶ Bravia 8 - Sony's Newest Premium OLED TV @ 10:28
Color accuracy is impressive, but there's a fair amount of tone mapping errors spread out across most colors. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 2:06
Near blacks are slightly raised, while some shadows and highlights are a bit dimmer than they should be. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 2:18
SDR brightness. For a TV this expensive, it's pretty dim in SDR. It averages about 400 nits in real scenes, topping out at around 520 nits in test slides. Not only is it dimmer than the Sony A95L it supposedly replaces, but it's also dimmer than 2025 mid-range OLEDs ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 2:32
It's not perfect, though. There's too much blue in most grays and too much red in brighter grays. This makes the TV's color temperature lean noticeably cold. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 1:59
the TV's SDR accuracy is just mediocre out of the box. It has poor white balance with too much blue in most shades of gray, which makes the TV's color temperature too cold. Its gamma is close to 2.2. 2, but some scenes are too bright while others are too dark. Its color accuracy is good overall, but there are noticeable inaccuracies in white and almost every light color shade. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 3:02
when it comes to HDR native gradient handling, it's up there with some of the best, although it's not quite as good as other Cutie OLEDs, including the Sony A95L. It's hard to notice any banding on the Bravia A2, but there is some in dark grays, reds, and greens, and in brighter blues and greens. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 5:08
Black levels raise in brighter rooms. Blacks look increasingly gray as your room gets brighter, which is true of all QD OLEDs. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 3:58
The Seven's default motion settings they're just a little bit too high for broadcast sports in some streaming content and it results in some camera movements appearing more stuttery than smooth ▶ GREAT Budget 4K TV from SONY! Sony Bravia 7 Review @ 9:13
I did discover that I needed to turn the Sony's motion interpolation settings to low or off to avoid jerky shifts during rapid pans ▶ GREAT Budget 4K TV from SONY! Sony Bravia 7 Review @ 9:10

Sony hasn't been the best when it comes to gaming in the past ▶ Sony Bravia 8 Review - Sleeper Deal of 2025? @ 7:13

it's not the best TV for anyone wanting their games to be as bright as possible. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 1:28
Switch to game mode and you do lose some brightness ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 1:20
For gamers, well, shop for something else. We're joking, sort of. Sony has been lagging behind the competition when it comes to gaming. Is it a good gaming TV? Yeah, it is. It's just worse than pretty much every OLED out there. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 5:24
doesn't support 144 or 165 Hz for PC gaming ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II 4K OLED Review @ 3:41
Sony's higher input lag than its competitors at 60 Hz and 120 Hz ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 6:06

Connectivity (7)

it only has two HDMI 2.1 ports, which is annoying if you have multiple modern consoles and a high-end PC. To make matters worse, these two ports are limited to 4K at 120 Hz. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 5:39
one of those HDMI 2.1 ports also doubles as the ER port. So, if you have a soundbar connected to that port, you lose a high-speed port unless your soundbar has HDMI 2.1 pass through. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 6:33
sadly though like the cleer 9 the other two HDMI ports on the 7 are limited to 4K 60 signals ▶ GREAT Budget 4K TV from SONY! Sony Bravia 7 Review @ 2:08
only two of the four HDMI ports support HDMI 2.1 ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II 4K OLED Review @ 3:36
I don't like that in 2025 Sony still makes you choose between HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 ports on their TVs ▶ GREAT Budget 4K TV from SONY! Sony Bravia 7 Review @ 11:22
one of the HDMI 2.1 ports also serves as the TV's Arc Port leaving you with just one additional NextGen HDMI option which kind of sucks especially considering that many of Sony's competitors now include four HDMI 2.1 ports so you don't have to prioritize what to connect to your TV for best results ▶ GREAT Budget 4K TV from SONY! Sony Bravia 7 Review @ 2:17
Die hard Gamers with more than one nextg console will be forced to use one of the Sony's lesser HDMI ports if they also want to enjoy full surround sound using a separate receiver connected to the 7's Arc e Arc Port ▶ GREAT Budget 4K TV from SONY! Sony Bravia 7 Review @ 11:47

Design & Build (6)

doesn't have physical buttons on the actual TV ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II Hands-On: Stunning Picture, But Is It Enoug @ 10:07
The one complaint I actually do have, though, is where's that remote? Where is it at? Okay, so this remote is the remote to the actual TV. This is the standard remote that Sony TVs come with these days, and that's what it comes with. This is Sony's premium TV right next to the Bravia 9, which comes with the premium remote. And this TV is also supposed to replace the uh Bravia, what is it? The uh X95L. 95L. That's what it is. A95L, which is the just the big dog. is the king of TVs, right? You get what I'm trying to say? We need a premium remote that comes with this TV ▶ Sony Made An Oooh-LED TV: The BEST TV I've EVER Had In My Ho @ 2:16
lack of backlighting on the remote ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II 4K OLED Review @ 5:04
The feet are placed at the edges of the TV rather than the center though. It's worth bearing in mind if you're not wall mounted. Just make sure your cabinet is wide enough to accommodate. ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED TV : All You Need To Know @ 4:31
visually the two TVs are incredibly different. Don't get me wrong the seven is a well-built nicely designed display but the Bravia 9 is on a whole other level sporting a thinner bezel shallower depth and a slightly better screen for controlling glare and Reflections especially off AIS ▶ GREAT Budget 4K TV from SONY! Sony Bravia 7 Review @ 3:30

Value for Money (3)

Nobody's forcing you to buy this TV, especially with the $4,000 price tag. ▶ Sony Made An Oooh-LED TV: The BEST TV I've EVER Had In My Ho @ 1:59

Ease of Use (3)

would love to see some quick launch buttons on the remote ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II Hands-On: Stunning Picture, But Is It Enoug @ 10:28
the only downside for these is if you have a pet and he constantly hits the crunchy roll of with a Netflix button in the middle of like TV super annoying ▶ Bravia 8 - Sony's Newest Premium OLED TV @ 7:25
the TV is very easy to calibrate, although that doesn't mean you can do it yourself. You'll still need to hire a calibrator or have access to specialized tools and the knowledge to use them. Still, it's a bummer to have to pay a calibration fee on a TV that's already so expensive. ▶ Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED Review - Stunning Picture, But... @ 3:24

Size & Dimensions (2)

doesn't come in a bigger size. So, this TV, the Bravia 8 Mark II, you can only get it in a 55 and a 65 in ▶ Sony Bravia 8 II Hands-On: Stunning Picture, But Is It Enoug @ 9:45
