You may have heard — or you may not have heard — some rumors circulating about what Sony ’s newestOLED TVmight depend like . Some speculated that it was going to step off fromQD - OLEDinto a newfour - stack panelproduced by a different display maker , and a stack of folks were understandably a footling unnerved by this .
I get going out there and suppose , “ I do n’t remember that ’s what ’s happening , ” and I kind of put my name on the line with that . In fact , I made a little wager with Vincent Teoh , too , over this — we ’ll see if he hold up up his end of the deal . I am very pleased to announce the raw Bravia 8 Mark II , available in both a 65- and 55 - inch version , is indeed a Quantum Dot OLED control board .
So , not going to gloat , but I was right , and I ’m really , really , really felicitous .

This is the late contemporaries of the Quantum Dot OLED control panel , power by Sony ’s awful processing . It ’s going to be about 125 % brighter than theA95L , and that lend us to where it sits in Sony ’s lineup . This is the successor to the Sony A95L.
Now , if you ’ll commemorate , last class , Sony dislodge its naming formula strategyfor its product line — not just in television set , but also in their projectors and audio equipment . So , the Bravia 9 joystick around . That TV is going to remain at the very , very top of Sony’smini - LEDlineup .
We do have some new mini - LED TVs to talk about in another spot , but for now , allow ’s focus on this guy cable right here . The Bravia 8 Mark II replaces — well , we ’ll say it bring home the bacon — the A95L. You ’ll still be able to pick up an A95L for a picayune while if you want , but being at the Bravia 8 level does intend that we ’re going to be looking at a little bit of a price adjustment .

We do n’t have any details around that yet , but we can see that Sony sees the Bravia 9 as the pinnacle of its lineup , representing the salutary mini - lead carrying into action they can offer . And , indeed , it is probably the best mini - LED TV out there .
Now , with the Bravia 8 Mark II , we ’re stepping out from the WOLED that we ’ve normally associated with the Bravia 8 . The original Bravia 8 will stick around for a while , though , so you ’re going to have some options . But if you want the latest and greatest Quantum Dot OLED from Sony , the Bravia 8 Mark II is it . As I mentioned before , it ’s exit to be usable in 55 - inch and 65 - in — no 77 - column inch yet , but we ’ll wait and see how thing go .
For those of you who might be concerned , this is belong to be the Quantum Dot OLED TV to get , particularly if you ’re not a big fan of theaggressive anti - glarethat we ’re seeing from some other TV brands . We roll in the hay who we ’re talk about .

I really could n’t be more emotional about this particular TV . With the latest - generation Quantum OLED panel — Gen 3 for consumer , Gen 4 if you ’re in the inner circles — this is the best Quantum Dot OLED instrument panel that ’s been brought out so far . They increase the efficiency of the blue OLED pixel such that they can increase the overall luminosity without any ritual killing to colour purity , and vividness purity is at the heart of the account here . That ’s really what take a leak Quantum Dot OLED different , and that is why I am so excited to hear that Quantum Dot OLED is sticking around in the Sony card .
This , my friend , is the OLED tv set to beat . It ’s prescribed , and it ’s here .
It ’s get along by and by this year . We do n’t have details around that just yet , but we will be portion out them as presently as we have them .
