TV that excels in every area
Pairing a high performance QD-OLED screen with Sony’s latest, AI-enhanced XR Processor, the Sony BRAVIA 8 II K55XR8M25BP effortlessly delivers outstanding picture precision and colour. The high performance continues with the sound quality, which takes a further leap when integrated into a BRAVIA sound system. Google TV and gaming that’s optimised for PS completes this TV’s reputation as an ultimate all-rounder.
Experience QD-OLED for outstanding contrast
The Sony BRAVIA 8 II K55XR8M25BP features a technically advanced QD-OLED screen for outstanding picture contrast and realism. Managing to combine the deepest blacks with vibrant colour, this Sony 55 inch TV draws you deep into every scene. Thanks to Sony’s XR Contrast Booster this ultimate screen tech gets better still. Using a high luminance panel and temperature mapping, contrast extremes are enhanced, giving the best contrast and brightest images yet on this level of Sony TV.
Precision colour and the widest palette, powered by XR Processor with AI
For the purest picture, Sony’s QD-OLED screen is driven by the latest XR Processor. Powered by AI, the system recognises picture flaws, in real time and optimises every element of the picture for absolute image precision. In addition to this, Sony’s XR Triluminos Max technology precisely reproduces billions of hues, for the most lifelike colour possible. From saturated colour with vivid shades to gritty greyscales, the BRAVIA II covers them all.
The smoothest and clearest vision – whatever the source
Sony’s XR Clear Image uses zone and frame analysis to minimise noise and blur from older movies and TV, upscaling the image to as near 4K as possible. Keeping the millions of pixels in check, Sony’s XR OLED Motion technology keeps the action flowing smoothly. It also minimises blur, using powerful processing to strike the perfect balance between ultimate detail and the smoothest motion.
Picture settings collaboration with the top studios
For the optimal picture, from a wide variety of studios, the BRAVIA 8 II features a range of dedicated picture modes. IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Vision compatibility help deliver the famous cinematic vision that both names are associated with. Calibrated modes for Sony PICTURES CORE, Netflix and Prime Video takes picture optimisation to the top brands in video streaming. Being Calman Ready, this TV is also ideal for those who wish to calibrate their TV to truly professional levels.
Acoustic Surface Audio+ for sonic precision
Sony’s unique Acoustic Surface Audio+ speaker system enhances the sync between what you see and what you hear. Vibrating actuators positioned behind the screen pinpoint the sound to the action, heightening the sense of connection and realism.
Audio enhancements to suit your viewing
Ideal for countering muffled dialogue, Sony’s Voice Zoom 3 uses AI machine learning to make speech and commentary as clear as possible. Featuring 3D Surround Upscaling, this Sony TV takes a regular audio signal and creates a virtual surround sound effect – making you feel more immersed in the action. Combine this TV with compatible Sony soundbars, wearable speaker or selected headphones and enjoy Dolby Atmos / DTS:X and simulated surround sound via 360 Spatial Sound.
Take it to the next level with the BRAVIA Theatre
Pair this TV with the optional BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 and the sound becomes even more immersive. With its 11-speaker array and 360 Spatial Mapping, it truly surrounds you in the action. Although this is the optimal soundbar, you can add any compatible Sony soundbar and enjoy sound that is more than the sum of the parts. With Acoustic Centre Sync, TV and soundbar combine to produce the clearest speech possible. A compatible Sony soundbar also improves the sound’s scale, realism and spaciousness, taking the audio to a new dimension.
Premium design and versatility, with 2-way position stand
With its One Slate aluminium design incorporating a Flush Surface, the Sony BRAVIA 8 II has a smooth, premium style. The elegant feet adjust to wide or narrow settings, making the TV ideal for a wider range of supports. The compact remote control is easy to clean and made from 80% recycled plastics. If you’re gaming, the PS Remote Play app lets you connect to your PS5 or PS4 remotely – perfect for when the console is in another room, and you don’t want to move it around.
