Gorgeous TV! It’s super slim, easy to setup, the picture is crisp and vibrant, the sound is clear and concise. While watching something, it’s like I’m in the movie/TV show. This TV is amazing. We may have to buy more for other rooms in then house. Setup was super simple and it connected to the internet easily. There are a lot of features, such as AirPlay, that we are looking forward to continuing to explore.

A high quality TV for the best viewing experience
I received the Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED 4K HDR Google TV for free from Influenster and Sony in exchange for my honest review. So my family buys flat screens that range from $100 to almost a $1000, never anything this expensive. I must say the difference in quality and experience is massive. The view and sound is a definite upgrade from what we are used to and it's quite impressive to see. We replaced a decade plus old flat screen with the Bravia 8 II and not only was it lighter to lift to attach to our wall mount, the screen is so clear and the colors pop just right, it's like a movie experience. Setting the TV is quite easy, follow the prompts to connect to the internet, set up your cable and connect to your Google account along with other apps you may use. Also the remote has shortcut buttons to easily connect to streaming apps and the TV has many ports on it's side. Not only is it light but it's sleek, the TV is thin all around, reminds me of a huge tablet except it's not a touchscreen but can you imagine if it was. If you have the means, buy this TV it's worth it's price and then some. You will notice the difference between a more affordable low cost flat screen versus this Sony version, it's a massive difference that we can't wait for movie nights and trying out the PS5 on here. Massive thank you to Sony, fine job here.

Sony Bravia 8
Purchased in Nov 2024. Disappointed with the so called 'Google TV' feature. Voice feature could not be made to work, and the choice in Apps represented only one of a dozen that we presently use (with Roku box). If App's could be expanded it was not clear on how it might be done. Also very poor instructions. Do some customer interface training to improve (non engineers or Tech's).

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about the k65xr80 and its Google TV features. We understand how important a smooth, intuitive smart TV experience is and are sorry you’ve faced frustration around voice control, app options, and setup clarity. Here’s some guidance and information that may help: Voice Feature Troubleshooting To use the voice feature, ensure your TV is set up as a Google TV and that you are signed in to a Google Account. Accepting the Privacy Policy and Terms is required for voice recognition to function. If you chose "Set up basic TV" initially, you can go to Settings and select "Set up Google TV" to enable these features. The voice remote uses Bluetooth and requires a working internet connection. If the microphone or Google Assistant button isn’t working, try removing and reinserting the batteries or replacing them. There is also a quick battery test: with the TV off, press and hold the VOL- button and then the microphone button; if the LED doesn’t flash, the batteries are too low. For persistent issues, unpair and re-pair the remote in the Bluetooth settings and ensure Voice control is turned on in Settings > Accounts and Sign In > Google Assistant > Voice control. Additional video and step-by-step troubleshooting are provided in Sony’s official support articles, including how to update your remote’s software if needed. Expanding the Choice of Apps Google TV supports app downloads from the Google Play Store. To access more apps: Use the "Apps" tab on the Home screen, or press the "Input" button and add Google Play Store to your quick access menu. You can also search for specific apps via voice by pressing the Google Assistant (or MIC) button and saying the search term (such as “open Google Play”). If you use the on-screen keyboard, select "Search" on the Home menu to find and install desired apps. The Play Store only shows compatible apps for your TV; certain apps (especially ones tied to other platforms, like the Roku box) might not be available on Google TV. If an app cannot be found, it may not be supported on Google TV, as developers decide which platforms to publish their apps on. Sony and Google do not have control over third-party app availability. Improving the App Installation Process Sony acknowledges that navigating Google TV’s app system is different from some other smart platforms. There are multiple ways to search for and install apps, as outlined above, but we realize this process isn’t always intuitive for everyone. Official support tutorials, troubleshooting steps, and user guides are available to walk you through each process step-by-step. These resources often include visual aids and are designed for users of all experience levels. Instructions and Customer Support for Non-Technical Users Sony manuals are included in the product packaging, and you can find up-to-date digital guides and tutorials on Sony’s official support website. There are also dedicated help articles covering app installation, voice command usage, remote troubleshooting, and accessibility features. For those who prefer a more guided approach, support is available by chat or phone. Sony actively invests in making smart TVs more accessible, including features like screen readers, voice search, and tactile dots on remotes for visually-impaired users. Feedback like yours also helps inform further user interface and instruction improvements to make the experience more friendly for all customers, including non-engineers and those less familiar with smart technology. If you need direct links to guides for your specific issues or want to walk through a particular process (like pairing the remote or installing a certain app), Sony customer support can provide personalized assistance via phone or chat. We appreciate your honest input—Sony continually iterates on product usability and documentation, and this kind of real-world feedback is vital to those improvements. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience! Best regards, Gus, Sony North America Customer Support
Simply lovely
I’ve had the Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED 4K for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly blown away. The colors are incredibly vibrant, and everything looks sharp and clear. Watching movies on this feels like a theater experience at home. It’s also a beautiful TV. The design is super sleek and minimal, and it fits perfectly in my bedroom. Setup was easy. The sound is surprisingly clear and well-balanced for a built-in system—I don’t think I will need a sound bar after all. Side note - watching F1 on this was amazing!
