Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED 4K Ultra HD Smart TV

Product Overview

The Sony Bravia 8 II is a top-tier 4K OLED Google TV that blends cutting-edge picture technology with premium audio and smart features. It uses a QD-OLED panel paired with Sony’s XR Cognitive Processor to deliver vivid colours, deep blacks, and smooth motion — ideal for cinematic viewing and gaming alike. Smart functionality is powered by Google TV, giving you access to popular streaming apps, voice control, and casting. Acoustic Surface Audio+ produces sound directly from the screen, enhancing immersion without a soundbar (though it can work with one as a centre channel). While some users note that the number of HDMI 2.1 ports and peak brightness aren’t class-leading, the Bravia 8 II’s holistic performance places it among Sony’s most compelling OLED TVs of the generation.
