I think it's a great looking tv. so far I'm liking the motion on it. I love the colors on it and i think it's going to be a great tv if you're in the high end tiers of buying a television.
Top-notch image processing for stunning clarity and upscaling. Vivid, naturalistic colors. Potent yet balanced HDR brightness. Excellent shadow detail and reflection handling. Near-perfect screen uniformity and off-axis viewing. Solid sound quality. Loaded gaming menu. Zippy and intuitive Google TV interface.
If you care about precision, accuracy, consistency and the total immersion into what you’re watching, then you simply can’t do better than the Sony Bravia 8 II. Especially if you want to be able to experience such picture glories right out of the box, without having to spend loads of time poking around in the TV’s set up menus. The powerful and dynamic built in sound system is a cut above the TV norm, too.
The Sony BRAVIA 8 II is excellent for mixed usage. It looks stellar in a dark room, thanks to its perfect black levels, vibrant colors, and great HDR brightness. The TV has modern gaming features, and combined with its excellent image quality, it's a solid choice for gamers. It has solid reflection handling, but it's only bright enough to overcome glare in a moderately lit room, and blacks look gray in a room with ambient lighting; you don't enjoy the same image quality when you flip your lights on. Fortunately, the TV has an incredibly wide viewing angle, making it an outstanding choice for a wide seating arrangement.
