"Sony has a history of making excellent TVs, from the Trinitron CRTs of last century to the world's first OLED nearly 20 years ago to 2016's ZD9 mini-LED that delivered exceptional brightness and dimming control for the time. And while Samsung beat Sony to the market with the S95B, in 2022 Sony was the first company to announce a QD-OLED TV. That TV, the A95K, was the best TV I had ever seen - until the A95L in 2023."
"Since its release in June 2025, the Bravia 8 II has received praise for its deep blacks and shadow detail, excellent processing, and realistic picture quality. Like the A95K in 2022, and the A95L in 2023 and 2024, the Sony Bravia 8 II was named the King of TV by the judges of the Value Electronics' 2025 TV Shootout (including Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel)."
The Bravia 8 II continues Sony's lineage of influential televisions, following the A95K and A95L and aiming to be the best QD-OLED. The set launched in June 2025. The television delivers deep blacks, refined shadow detail, and realistic picture reproduction. Image processing is strong, noticeably improving lower-quality sources and preserving natural textures. Brightness is improved over the A95L but does not claim the highest peak among OLEDs. The TV earned the King of TV title at Value Electronics' 2025 TV Shootout. The platform runs Google OS, providing a broader smart-TV experience compared with some QD-OLED and OLED competitors.
