The Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED is a mid‑tier 4K QD‑OLED TV that delivers perfect black levels, vibrant colors and a wide viewing angle, making it an excellent choice for dark‑room home theater and gaming setups. Its main weakness is that the picture quality drops in bright rooms, with blacks appearing gray and overall brightness insufficient for well‑lit environments.
