If you didn't get a chance to buy a TV on Prime Day, it may have been a blessing in disguise. Right now, the brand new Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV is even more discounted than it was on Prime Day.
Yes, you read that right: the 65-inch model is currently on sale for $1,898 at Best Buy, which is over $900 off its original price. That's pretty ridiculous.
The Bravia 8 has pedigree. It’s the latest in an impressive line-up of TVs that combines OLED technology with Sony’s renowned engineering. The brand is often celebrated for its top-notch picture processing and sleek design, and we’d expect nothing less from the Bravia 8.
Like all OLED TVs, the Bravia 8 is all about contrast. Its self-lit pixels help achieve perfect black levels, a benefit that has many benefits in other areas of performance. You can expect rich colors, extra-wide viewing angles, and, if Sony's track record is any indication, a razor-sharp picture right out of the box. Plus, Sony TVs offer a toolbox full of A/V settings for those of us with a penchant for tinkering.
Picture purists will be delighted, but what about gamers? The Bravia 8 comes with a range of hardware and software enhancements to complement your consoles. There’s enough for both casual and hardcore gamers: VRR, ALLM, and support for 4K gaming at 120Hz. However, if your commitment to gaming goes beyond that, you should bear in mind that the Bravia 8 is limited to a single pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs, and one of them doubles as the TV’s eARC port. That means if you own an Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and an eARC-compatible soundbar, you’ll have to relegate one of the current-gen consoles to an HDMI input that doesn’t support 4K gaming at 120Hz.
Given Sony's in-depth approach, I find it hard to imagine anyone walking away from the Bravia 8 without being impressed. In other words, it's almost certainly right on target with our list of the best OLED TVs you can buy.
Sony TVs tend to be more expensive than their closest competitors, so a deal this good is a great way to avoid any hesitation. This is the lowest price we've seen so far on the brand new Bravia 8, and we may have to wait until Black Friday before we see a discount like this again.
