Sony BRAVIA 8 II review: what the specs say
Sony's brightest OLED yet, built around Acoustic Surface Audio+ and a new 3rd-gen QD-OLED panel. At $3,299, Sony's 2026 model sits at the premium end of the category — the TVs we compare run from $279.99 to $12,999.99. It scores 8.2/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Picture Quality at 9.5/10 — panel technology, contrast, and color accuracy. The weakest is Value at 6.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: maxes out at 4K/120Hz — no 165Hz mode like the LG/Samsung flagships; and only 2 of 4 HDMI ports are full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1. Every specification on this page comes from Sony's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
