Sony's Flagship Bravia 8 ii QD-OLED TV! - YouTube

[PowellPressburger]

Looks like I will be waiting till maybe 2026 for a 4K

Sony have lost their minds, a flagship model but only 65”
Is this 2010?!

Hopefully there are some better flagship models for 2026 from Sony and more.

Nothing has impressed me in the last few years with 4K panels.

IMO, they all look and feel cheap.

Despicable YouTubers and shills are trying to influence you to buy a TV they know is overpriced. Since they get paid by those companies, they don't care.

[Robert Zohn]

Sony does not pay any YouTuber for their reviews.

They very limitedly do supply loaner TVs for reviewers that they qualify, but the TVs must be returned and no other compensation is available.

Several YouTube Channel owners borrow, or purchase their TVs and audio equipment from us.

Regarding Sony's New 2025 Flagship BRAVIA 8 II QD OLED TV I respectfully recommend for everyone to see the XR80M2 in any local dealer/store near your home so you can see the advancements this TV renders in the color saturation, color volume, the new higher peak luminance capability.

Sony's engineer reformatted the 2nd Generation of the XR processor to take full advantage of the higher dynamic tonal range, increased color volume and color saturation. So this new flagship Sony TV delivers images from all content with more depth and detail and as I said, very accurate, but punchy/poppy, colors, with pure blacks, excellent contrast control so shadow details are easy to see.

He is not a shill if he is sponsored by a company he comes out and says so like in the example Best Buy so he is not a shill. Just because you don’t like Sony does not mean he is a shill he does criticize Sony if you actually watched it.

Great salesman, but doesnt change the fact that $4000 is extremely overpriced for a 65” TV.

[Robert Zohn]

Just stating ^ more of the facts that lower the cost below the MSRP.

I do agree that LG's new 2025 G5 Gallery series Multi-Stack OLED TVs, and Samsung new QD OLED TVs, S90F and their flagship S95F all very good lower cost choices.

I don't dislike Sony TVs. In the case of the Bravia 8 II, it's overpriced. Sony's greed has no bounds.

Same with my G4. Don’t know what that dude is talking about, but most flagship TVs do not look or feel cheap.

Nor does your negativity.

Most TV manufacturers, including Sony, offer several models from the economical to the premium.

Could you please tell me why you're making personal attacks? My issue is with the multinational billion-dollar company Sony. I'm a consumer, and I suspect you are as well, or I could be wrong; you could be a Sony shareholder who doesn't like what I have to say about their greed.

Sony lied, they initially said the Bravia 8 II would come at a lower price than the A95L, but upped the price on the claim of tariffs, yet none of their competitors, LG, Samsung, TCL, Panasonic, Hisense, etc., raised their prices.

This company must be taken to task for its greed, it's up to consumers and reviewers, ie, YouTubers and influencers, to put Sony on blast. Stop letting Sony off the hook with "Sony Tax"; that's not funny or cute.

I hope consumers send Sony a message by passing on the Bravia 8 II at $4,000 for a 65-inch set. Also, we know that on black Friday, the LG G5 and Samsung S95F, which retail at $4,500 for a 77-inch, will probably be less than the Sony 65-inch Bravia 8 II.

I am not a shareholder of any TV manufacturer and I never have been. You single out Sony for charging high prices for their flagship models when ALL TV manufacturers do the exact same thing. Market conditions change and prices change with them.

I did not see my comment as a "personal attack", but rather my pointing out your typical behavior on this topic. Your post history documents your pervasive and negative opinions about every TV technology currently in existence. I am sorry that you took my comment that way, but your incessant complaining warranted criticism in my opinion.

I know that you are waiting with baited breath for Micro-LED TVs to hit the market below their current six figure price tags, but the same TV manufacturers that you routinely criticize for one thing or another will be the very companies that bring them to the consumer market and you can almost certainly expect them to be offered at premium prices for a damn long time. It will be ages before you can get a Micro-LED TV at a price that you likely would consider to be fair, whatever mythical figure that is for you.

What would be refreshing would be to read a comment from you that is positive for a change. Surely something must make you happy in this exciting landscape of ever evolving display technology?

[Robert Zohn]

I did not see Sony say the BRAVIA 8 II would be lower price than the A95L, or that Sony upped the price on the claim of tariffs.

To the best of my knowledge Sony has not raised any TV prices on the claim of tariffs.

Sony's New 2025 Flagship BRAVIA 8 II has the latest 2025 4th Generation of the QD OLED panel.

Sony's 2nd Generation of the XR Processor was retuned to take full advantage of the increased dynamic tonal range (Increased Contrast Ration), the enhanced Color Volume and Saturation to render very accurate, but a more punchy with Sony's excellent EOTF Contrast control, and exceptional color fidelity and fully saturated colors as needed.
