Sony's last year's flagship OLED TV is still $600 off

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews.

Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers. ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services.

Amazon's Prime Day sale is over, but the Sony TV deals are few and far between. If you've been eyeing the Bravia 8 II as an upgrade to your living room or home theater, you can grab the 65-inch model for $600 off right now when you buy directly from Sony with this competing Prime Day deal. The 55-inch model is also on sale -- for $300 off -- but both sizes are still pricey, selling for over $2,200 with this discount.

I got to check out the Bravia 8 II in the ZDNET testing lab, and was very impressed with the picture quality. You'll get a darker screen than other OLEDs from LG and Samsung, and the ability to fine-tune your picture settings for everything from streaming to console gaming. You can also tweak audio settings to fully leverage both Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology and Dolby Atmos integration.

With Acoustic Surface Audio+, Sony places tiny actuators behind the OLED panel to turn the entire screen into a speaker capable of object-tracking sound. This gives you a much more immersive experience without the hassle of setting up separate home audio equipment, and it delivers near-perfect audio and video syncing. The Bravia 8 II handles everything from black-and-white Hollywood classics to triple-A gaming on the PlayStation 5 with ease, automatically switching picture and audio modes when the TV detects a console is connected and powered on, or when a supported streaming app is launched.
