Sony BRAVIA 8 II 55" OLED TV vs Sony BRAVIA XR8B 65" OLED TV

Both are Sony OLEDs on Google TV, so the picture quality is close and the real decision is size and motion. The 65-inch B is the better buy for most people: it has a 120 Hz panel, Dolby Atmos, five speakers and PS5 gaming features, where the 55-inch A lists 60 Hz. Owners of the B praise deep blacks, vibrant color and strong built-in sound, though some found first-time setup fiddly. Pick the A only if a 55-inch screen fits your room better and you mostly watch film and TV rather than fast games.

  • Choose the Sony BRAVIA 8 II 55" if your wall or stand suits a 55-inch screen and you watch mostly movies and streaming rather than high-frame-rate games.
  • Choose the Sony 65" Class 4K OLED if you want the larger screen, smoother 120 Hz motion and Dolby Atmos sound from the TV itself.

What reviewers say

Sony BRAVIA XR8B 65" OLED TV

Owners rate the picture highly, especially in dark rooms, and call the blacks deep and the colors vibrant. Google TV is seen as smooth once configured, and built-in sound is better than expected. The main gripe is setup, which some found fiddly.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners call the picture superb in dark rooms, with deep blacks and vibrant colors.
  • SetupCriticisedSetup is not fully seamless, and some QR codes failed to scan, requiring setup on the TV itself.
  • SoundPraisedBuilt-in sound-from-screen audio is described as impressive, and HDMI ARC works well with a soundbar.
  • Smart platformPraisedGoogle TV is called smooth and easy to use once set up.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
The 65-inch B. Its 120 Hz panel and PS5 Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode make it the stronger console TV. The A lists 60 Hz, which caps smoothness in fast games.
Is the 65-inch worth stepping up to over the 55-inch?
For most rooms, yes. You get a larger picture, 120 Hz motion and Dolby Atmos sound in one set. Step down to the 55-inch only if space is tight or you sit close.
Which has better sound without a soundbar?
The B. It has five speakers, Dolby Atmos and sound-from-screen audio, and owners call the sound impressive. The A relies on standard TV speakers.
Do both run Google TV?
Yes. Both use Google TV with Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and other apps. The B's listing highlights 700,000+ movies and shows across 10,000+ apps.
Which lasts longer?
Neither has a published lifespan advantage; both are OLED panels from Sony. OLED brightness fades gradually over years of use, and the larger 120 Hz B is the more future-proof pick for gaming and sports.
Which works with more smart assistants?
The A lists Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri. The B lists Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit, so Alexa users should lean toward the A.
