- Is the Bravia 8 II worth it over the original Bravia 8?
- Yes for most buyers. The QD-OLED panel is brighter and more colorful, and processing is a step up. The older model is still fine if you watch mostly in dark rooms.
- How does it compare with the Bravia 9?
- The Bravia 9 is a Mini-LED set with much higher peak brightness and an anti-glare coating. The Bravia 8 II wins on black levels and viewing angles, so it suits dark rooms better.
- Is it good for PS5 and Xbox gaming?
- Yes. It has HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 120Hz, low input lag and variable refresh rate, plus Sony's game picture modes.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Most reviewers recommend one. The built-in speakers are clear but lack bass and scale, so a soundbar or home theater setup improves the experience.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, its stand, a remote, batteries and a power cable. No soundbar or wall mount is included.
- Does it run Google TV?
- Yes. It uses Google TV with all major streaming apps, Chromecast built in and voice search through the remote.
- Where is the Sony K55XR80M2 55 Inch Bravia 8 QD-OLED TV cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $2,149.99, as of our latest check.
