The Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED (2025) is a top-of-the-line QD-OLED TV and highly recommended for movie buffs. I see every detail in every room thanks to the bright QD-OLED screen. I can watch a movie or series whenever I want. Thanks to the OLED pixels, I enjoy a powerful contrast between dark and light areas of the image.
QD-OLED screen for every room
I think the Bravia 8 II is one of the most colorful OLED TVs of 2025. This is mainly due to the quantum dots behind the OLED pixels. These tiny particles act as a kind of color filter, allowing me to see brighter color tones. Therefore, I don't need to darken the room for a realistic viewing experience. Thanks to these brighter color tones, the screen of this OLED TV is exceptionally bright. In fact, in many cases, I even find the TV too bright. For example, I have to lower the TV's brightness in our test room. Ultimately, this is a luxury. With a few simple adjustments, the TV is suitable for any room. I can watch a movie or series whenever I want.
Realistic OLED images
Thanks to the Bravia 8 II's self-illuminating pixels, I enjoy high picture quality. Each pixel is a light source and dims or switches off for dark movie scenes. This means blacks are truly black, and I can see every detail in dark series like Game of Thrones. Due to the high brightness of the OLED pixels, I sometimes experience a distracting glow, especially around bright light sources. Fortunately, I can easily solve this by lowering the brightness slightly.
Clear Google TV smart platform
The Google TV smart platform is a clear advantage of the Bravia 8 II. I enjoy the clear menu and the wide range of apps. I quickly find the app or streaming service I'm looking for. There's a strong emphasis on movies and series. This way, I can immediately see an overview of the movies I'm currently watching and quickly pick up where I left off. Google TV also lists many recommended movies and series. I consider this a drawback as this part of the menu takes up a lot of space.
