Owners keep the Bravia 8 II for a picture they call gorgeous, though several have had to fight audio sync problems after firmware updates to keep watching it that way.
Picture quality is clear praise: every account who raised it called the image excellent, with one owner comparing it favorably to their previous Sony set and another saying they still adore it after adjusting to it.
Audio sync is a clear complaint. Most owners who raised it describe sound falling out of sync with video, in some cases tied to a firmware update that also caused Dolby Vision content to go to a black screen on connected Apple TV boxes.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
The picture is what keeps owners happy day to day. More than one still calls it gorgeous well after the new-TV excitement fades, and one owner who has been through several Sony sets says this one beats what they had before on image quality alone.
The audio sync issue is the main thing owners have had to manage, and it is not minor: some trace it directly to a firmware update that broke Dolby Vision playback on Apple TV, leaving the screen black on HDR content while SDR kept working. One owner found a workaround by setting HDMI ports to enhanced mode and using pass-through instead of the TV's own audio processing, and another says the most recent update fixed it for them, but a few report the family gave up trying to watch synced audio through the built-in Android TV app.
Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
11 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
