Sony K-55XR8M2

There are many strong contenders for the title of best television of the year. But the Sony Bravia 8 II is guaranteed to be one of them: beautiful picture quality, rich colours, good sound, extensive functions and hassle-free operation. And a lower price than the current top model with OLED screen. Nevertheless, it is slightly more expensive than some of its competitors.

Although the Bravia 8 Il outperforms its predecessor in terms of maximum brightness, the new one performs a touch worse overall due to the factory colour display being too cold. The competition does it better and cheaper. At the time of testing, the LG OLED G5 was available for 1600 euros (score 1.1), the Samsung S95F for 1800 euros (score 1.1).
