Features

Picture Quality

Featuring our widest colour palette yet - XR Triluminos Max - see billions of colours come to life in your living room. From deep shades that ooze atmosphere, to exhilarating highlights, every shade and hue is complete with lifelike texture. So, whether you’re watching a fantasy epic or a gritty documentary, you’ll feel part of every world.

Experience QD-OLED, displaying the true black of OLED – but with better colour, contrast, and detail. With this added superpower, the BRAVIA 8 II captures the full depth of a story exactly as the creator intended, delivering rich, authentic visuals that pull you deeper into every scene.

This unmatched realism is driven by our latest XR Processor. Powered by AI for flawless precision, our scene recognition system detects and analyses what the movie creators put on the screen, and optimises each element for a lifelike viewing experience that will make your jaw drop every time.

Even old movies are given new life as our XR Clear Image technology intelligently upscales everything you watch to near 4K quality. This technology ensures the original content’s natural textures and details shine through, while using dynamic frame analysis and zone division to minimise unwanted noise. The result is crystal-clear entertainment, refined and real.

Taking cinematic contrast to the next level, there are over 8 million self-lit pixels on this QD-OLED TV. Each pixel is individually and expertly controlled, so they can be turned on for dazzling highlights or off for crisp blacks, in real-time. Our XR Contrast Booster packs even more colour and contrast into every moment, using a high-luminance panel and temperature sensor to deliver our brightest scenes yet – and when pictures are brighter, more detail is revealed.

And to ensure everyone in the room gets the full BRAVIA 8 II experience, our QD-OLED panel maintains constant luminance for consistent colour across all viewing angles – so watching TV from the sides is just as satisfying as it is from the front.

Developed with the world’s leading TV and movie studios, our dedicated calibrated modes automatically optimise the viewing experience to capture the creator’s vision. These include SONY PICTURES CORE Calibrated Mode, Netflix Calibrated Mode, Prime Video Calibrated Mode, as well calibration for IMAX Enhanced certification, and more.

Sound Quality

Just like at the cinema, sound comes directly from the action on-screen. 

Acoustic Surface Audio+ is our cinematic sound technology that uses actuators to turn every part of the TV screen into a powerful speaker. This means sound comes from the screen, just like it does at the cinema. Whether it’s dialogue straight from a character’s mouth, or a plane overhead, everything originates from precisely where it’s happening within a scene, with pictures and sound perfectly synchronised for a theatre-like, endlessly immersive experience.

Dialogue is always crystal-clear, as Voice Zoom 3 uses AI to recognise human voices and adjust the vocal volume and clarity for clearer speech - no more muffled voices. This clarity is achieved even amongst the most chaotic, noisiest drama, so you’ll never miss a plot twist again. Most importantly, you can dial dialogue up or down to suit your preference, without affecting other sounds. Hear the sports commentary more clearly or immerse yourself in the crowd’s energy – the choice is yours!

3D Surround Upscaling creates extraordinary virtual surround sound from above and the sides, using just the TV speakers. Even ordinary 2ch and 5.1ch audio is upscaled to immersive 5.1.2ch sound, and with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support on the BRAVIA 8 II, you can explore unforgettable spatial sound too.

TV + Soundbar

Pair with a Sony soundbar to unlock exclusive features, including the unique Acoustic Centre Sync. With other soundbars, you’ll only hear sound from below the screen; with a compatible Sony soundbar, the TV becomes the centre speaker, forming one integrated system for maximum sound-from-screen immersion.

Nothing short of revolutionary, you and your TV will be propelled into the heart of every scene, as the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology on our soundbars creates phantom speakers in a cinema-like layout around your living room(1). Reaching far beyond conventional virtual surround sound, this truly brings cinema home.

And a BRAVIA Theatre set-up gives you maximum control too. With an integrated UI, your soundbar settings will automatically appear in the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu on the TV, allowing you to adjust the sound field or volume from one place(2). If you’d prefer to use your smartphone to take control of your TV and soundbar, you can use the BRAVIA Connect app(3).

(1) This feature works with compatible models (BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 / BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 / HT-A7000 / HT-A5000 / HT-A3000). Product availability depends on regions and countries. Optional rear speakers may not be available in all countries and regions.
(2) This feature works with compatible models. Please see https://www.sony.net/hav_faq - product availability varies by country or region. Compatible home theatre products: BRAVIA Theatre Quad, BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9, BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8.
(3) Feature will be available via a future firmware update. Updating the mobile app to the latest version is required. Feature availability of the integrated remote with TVs and home theatre products may vary depending on home theatre product.

Design

Sleek and seamless, our Slim One Slate aluminium design fuses the screen into a single slate, so it’s virtually frameless. That means all your attention will be on what’s important – those incredible pictures.

A two-way TV stand is included, giving you the option to slide your soundbar neatly underneath(1).

The stylish remote is compact, easy to clean with a flush surface and polyurethane coating, and is capable of controlling many of your connected devices from the single remote. It’s also made from approximately 80% recycled plastic(2).

Everything about the BRAVIA 8 II has been designed to grace your space with a harmonic presence. The shapes, materials, colours, and surface treatments blend beautifully with interior décor and walls, as well as our home theatre products.

(1) Please check the dimensions of your soundbar to ensure it fits between the TV stands.
(2) Made with recycled materials. Based on Sony calculation. Remote design and specification differ depending on country. Clean exterior surfaces gently with a dry, clean cloth or household disinfectant wipe (such as Clorox Disinfecting Wipes). Do not spray disinfectant directly on the remote. Controllable device and feature depends on region, country and device.

UX

On this Google TV, everything you stream is available on one screen. Browse 400,000+ movies and TV episodes from across your favourite streaming services, organised into topics and genres based on what interests you, along with 10,000+ apps and games(1). There are even dedicated buttons for your go-to apps, so you can dive straight into the action(2).

With Google Assistant, you can control the TV using your voice(3) – and it’s more helpful than ever. Just say “Hey Google” to find movies, play music, and get answers to your questions. You can also connect with your other smart home devices to adjust the room temperature, turn on the lights, or check your front door. 

And with Google Cast built-in(4) and Apple AirPlay 2(5), you can easily share content from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer straight on to the big screen.
