Know before you buy
Unlike LED TVs that rely on a backlight, the BRAVIA 8 uses self-illuminating pixels. This allows for perfect black levels and infinite contrast, as each pixel can turn off completely to create true darkness.
While OLEDs are best in controlled lighting, the BRAVIA 8 is designed to handle moderate ambient light well. However, if your room has direct sunlight hitting the screen, you may experience some reflections compared to a high-brightness Mini-LED model.
Yes, the BRAVIA 8 is fully equipped for modern gaming. It supports 4K at 120Hz, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) to ensure smooth, responsive gameplay on consoles like the PlayStation 5.
The BRAVIA 8 uses Acoustic Surface Audio+, which turns the entire screen into a speaker. This creates a more immersive experience where sound feels like it is coming directly from the characters on screen, though a dedicated soundbar is still recommended for deeper bass.
It runs on the Google TV platform, which provides access to virtually every major streaming service, including Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and Apple TV+. You can also use Google Assistant for voice-controlled navigation.
The 55-inch model has a slim profile and a versatile stand design. Be sure to measure your console's width, as the stand feet are positioned toward the edges, and check that your furniture can support the weight of the panel.
