Your screen becomes a speaker with BRAVIA 8 II. Actuators vibrate behind the screen, delivering crisp, immersive sound straight from the action, just like in the cinema. Acoustic Surface Audio+ with tweeter turns every part of the screen into a powerful speaker emitting sound from the right place in the scene to create a cinema-like experience. Voice Zoom 3 recognizes human dialogue through AI machine learning and amplifies or reduces its volume so even small dialogue sounds loud and clear. 3D Surround Upscaling creates a virtual surround from above and the sides using just the TV speakers.
The Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TVs have a native refresh rate of 120Hz and are perfectly tuned for PlayStation 5. Auto HDR Tone Mapping instantly optimizes HDR settings during your PS5 and PS5 Pro console initial setup. With Auto Genre Picture Mode, BRAVIA automatically switches into Game Mode with PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles to minimize lag and maximize responsiveness. It switches back to Standard Mode when watching movies for more expressive scenes. The PS Remote Play app lets you control your PS5, PS5 Pro, or PS4 console from another room or location like a friend's house. With Game Menu 2, you can check your status, fine-tune settings, and access assist functions from one place.
The Sony BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TVshave a Slim One Slate design with a two-way stand that can be adjusted in height to accommodate a soundbar below the TV.
