- Is the Sony BRAVIA 8 II worth $2,498?
- If you want an OLED with Sony's processing and 120 Hz gaming, yes. At $2,498 at B&H Photo-Video-Audio as of November 5, 2026, it is at the top of its recent range, so waiting for a drop is reasonable if you are not in a hurry.
- How does it compare with the first BRAVIA 8?
- The 8 II is the 2025 model, with the same 4K OLED approach and 120 Hz panel. The newer set adds Sony's latest processing and the 50 W audio system; check side-by-side prices before paying a premium for the newer model.
- Is it good for PS5 and Xbox Series X?
- Yes. The 120 Hz refresh rate and HDMI inputs support 4K at high frame rates, and OLED response time keeps motion clear. Enable game mode on the console's HDMI input.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Probably not for a normal living room. The 50 W built-in system is louder and fuller than most TV speakers. Add a soundbar only if you want more bass or surround effects.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, its stand, a remote, batteries and a power cable. HDMI and other cables are not included, so buy one if you are wall-mounting or connecting a console.
- When is it cheapest?
- OLED TVs usually drop around Black Friday and in spring clearance. The current $2,498 at B&H Photo-Video-Audio as of November 5, 2026 is a full price, so a holiday sale is the likely next low point.
