Sony makes one of the best OLED TVs, this deal makes it $900 more affordable
Every day we find incredible TV deals, so there's never really a point in buying a TV at the regular price. That is, unless you want one of the best TVs all around, which have more of a reason to not go on sale frequently. They already get lots of attention and have the chops to justify high prices. However, from time to time we do find a great deal on one of our favored TVs. This time around we're see a $900 discount on the 65-inch Sony Bravia 8 OLED, one of our picks for the best OLED TVs. Getting the TV now, which you can do simply by tapping the button below, will only cost you $1,900 instead of the usual $2,800. Read on to learn why the TV is so great, as well as to see the special reason why it's included in our list of OLED TVs. Why you should buy the Sony Bravia 8 OLED The Sony Bravia 8 OLED is a brilliant TV for your living room or gathering area. It's a weird thing to say, but a lot of TVs have a sort of 'hermit' personality and are really best enjoyed with a small group in a dark room. Not the Sony Bravia 8 OLED, with its wide viewing angle and ability to stand up to ambient lighting. This is a TV to grab the crew around and watch some ball or have in your living room to give you some company while you watch the kids. It's a TV to enhance your life with, but it doesn't have to So, why did this TV make it on our OLED shortlist? It happens to be the best Sony OLED for the price. And, of course, by this we mean its standard price. The quality is simply there; it has rich colors and black levels that make things pop, whether you're in the living room or not. So, why not grab it while it is $900 cheaper and you can get it for $1,900 instead of the usual $2,800.

Our Audio Reviewer Is Obsessed With a Sony Soundbar Deal This Prime Day
Looking for a great surround sound setup on Prime Day? Sony's Bravia Theater System 6 is a ringer. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Sony's soundbar lineup for 2025 zigged while most other brands zagged, and the result was one of my favorite all-in-one surround sound systems you can buy. The wild and wonderful Bravia Theater System 6 is a different kind of surround system that borrows from the past while keeping a keen eye on the future of your home theater room. It's on sale for a killer deal during Prime Day, a rarity for Sony that's worth jumping on for anyone looking for cinematic thrills. This is one of the best Prime Day soundbar deals we've seen this year. Looking for more deals? Check out our Prime Day Live Blog post, our Best Prime Day TV Deals, and our mega-sized guide for the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals that features all our favorites across products. A Sweet Sony Soundbar System Sale The Theater System 6 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) doesn't look like your average soundbar—it's more like a hybrid between a soundbar and an HTIB (Home Theater in a Box) from the '90s. The five-piece system is relatively easy to set up, with all components running through the potent subwoofer that grounds the sound, alongside the thin and surprisingly capable soundbar component. Tall and splashy rear surround speakers plug into a small amplifier, which connects to the rest of the system wirelessly. Firing things up for the first time, I was immediately impressed with the System 6's mix of touch and punch, providing excellent detail in the quiet moments and thundering bravado in action scenes. The rear surrounds add crisp and full performance, blending well with the rest of the system for a seamless swirl of 5.1 surround sound. The System 6 does not offer up-firing speakers for 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, something we've come to expect in 2025. That said, it does support both formats for some solid virtualization that adds more spaciousness and overall immersion to the traditional 5.1-channel configuration. Along with the System 6's excellent sound, I like how easy it is to adjust and control with Sony's stable and intuitive Bravia Connect app. You'll also get a small remote, and thanks to HDMI eARC, you can connect to your TV with an HDMI cable and control volume and power with your TV remote. Newer Bravia TV owners can also control some settings directly from TVs like the fabulous Bravia 8 II OLED (9/10, WIRED Recommends). For anyone after a major sonic upgrade, you'll have a hard time finding a system this size with so much cinematic might. Now that it's on a great deal for Prime Day, dropping that Sony tax, the Bravia Theater System 6 is hard to pass up. Power up with unlimited access to WIRED .

You Asked: Large OLED vs. Huge QLED? Biggest QD-OLED TVs?
On today's episode of You Asked: Is there ever a reason to not get the best OLED panel available? How much of an upgrade is the LG G5 over the G2? And is a 77-inch OLED enough, or do you need to go even bigger? Always buy the best OLED panel tech? @Kami84 says: You'd be a fool to buy anything other than QD-OLED or the new Tandem RGB OLED from LG due to the superior colors. Why buy old W-OLED technology when there's way better tech available, unless it's really cheap? Hey, I hear you loud and clear. As someone who's into cameras, I debate the same things. Why not go for what's future proof? But there are a number of reasons when it comes to TVs. One — and you touched on this — is price. At 65 inches, a lot of QD-OLED panels cost more than some people want to spend, especially if you're looking at the latest and greatest from Sony, LG, and Samsung. The Sony Bravia 8 Mark 2: $4,000 The Samsung S95F: $3,300 LG's G5: $3,400. Obviously, they can be a little less than that if they're on sale, but the point is, that's quite a bit of money for a lot of people. Even Sony's 2023 model, the Sony A95L, which has been on sale for a while, is still $2,900. Then there's size, which, believe it or not, gets overlooked. Once you go up from 55 or 65 inches, things get really expensive — easily north of four grand. Also, a number of TVs' best panels aren't offered in every size. Sony's QD-OLEDs are only sold up to a certain size. You can't get the Bravia 8 Mark 2 above 65 inches. The A95L only goes up to 77 inches. The same goes for Samsung. Their S95F and S90F only have the QD-OLED panels at 55, 65, or 77 inches. So if you wanted anything larger than that, guess what? W-OLED is the only option you've got — unless you go to LG. You can get their G5 at 83 inches with its Tandem RGB OLED panel for $6,500. See where I'm going here? If the 'lesser' OLED models weren't selling, they wouldn't be manufactured. There's clearly a market for them. LG's done really well in this department, offering the more budget-friendly B-series, the brighter but still mostly affordable C-series, and the high-end G-series with their best tech. Plus, if you're not looking at a W-OLED TV side-by-side with one of the better panels you mentioned, I'd argue that 99 percent of people — probably anyone but TV reviewers and hardcore enthusiasts — would say, 'That's a great looking TV.' I'd love to sit here and tell you that I'm filming this in 8K on a $6,500 Sony A1 flagship camera, but I'm not. It's 4K on an A7IV that costs about a third of the price. And we're doing OK. LG G2 vs G5: Is It a Big Upgrade? @luisd7636 asks: I have an LG G2. I wonder how much of an improvement the LG G5 would be. I haven't seen it on display yet. Luis, the difference between the G2 from 2022 and the LG G5 is significant. To start, LG's upscaling and processing has come a long way. Even with our review of the G4, we noted how close it was to catching up to Sony in that department. The G5 and its new Tandem RGB OLED panel mentioned in the last question raise it to another level in terms of brightness and color vibrance. Usually, you don't see a huge difference from one year to the next, but it is visible when you put the G4 next to the G5. And considering how much brighter that G4 is compared to its predecessors, I think you'd see the upgrade right away. All that to say, the G5 is a big step up. If you're interested, it's worth going to check one out locally if you can. Size Limitations of QD-OLED Panels @balajiraokj asks: My mind is set for Sony, but still debating others. Let me know what is best for an 85-inch QD-OLED TV. Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but if you were paying attention earlier, the largest QD-OLED TV available right now is 77 inches. You have a few options between Sony and Samsung. If you're leaning toward Sony, check out the A95L. If you want to go with an OLED bigger than 77 inches, you could go with LG's 83-inch G5, which has their new Tandem RGB panel. That's some of the best OLED color goodness you'll get at that size, and it'll cost you $6,500 at full price. For a little less, if you don't mind W-OLED, the 83-inch LG C5 will save you about $1,000, maybe more. So ask yourself what means more: a few more inches in size, or having the brightest, most colorful panel. For what it's worth, I think most OLEDs, especially the ones mentioned in this segment, are going to look outstanding in an 83-inch size, even if they're not QD-OLED. 77″ OLED vs 100″ Hisense Mini LED @Echoed_Empires asks: 77-inch LG OLED C5 or 100-inch Hisense? To be honest, I'm fine with the QLED quality of the 100-inch since it gives me that cinema experience. Yeah, the LG kills it, and it's fantastic. But guys, how good do you want the picture to be? It's ridiculous — a normal Hisense in 4K is awesome, and at 100 inches, the same price. I'm really thinking about it, but can't decide. What's your pick? That is a tough one, and there's a lot to consider. One of the themes of this episode, and one of my favorite questions last week, has kind of been: when is good good enough? OLED is special in terms of picture quality and contrast. At 77 inches, everything you watch on it is going to be gorgeous. But 100 inches is also special. Everything you watch on that is going to feel larger than life. For movies and shows, you'll get the theater experience every time, especially if you pair it with a nice audio system. Plus, the 100-inch U8 isn't just your run-of-the-mill big 4K TV. It's a Mini LED TV with full array local dimming. So it's no slouch, even compared to OLED. That said, here are my reservations. Having dealt with a few massive TVs last year, TCL's 115-inch QM891G and Hisense's 110-inch UX, you really need a plan and space for where you're going to put it. It's probably best in a dedicated theater room because it's going to dominate whatever wall you place it on. Moving them isn't simple. Second, there is the difference in picture quality. You will get a cleaner look with more contrast from the C5. While the U8 is great, things like highlight blooming that come off as minimal on a 65-inch TV will be more noticeable on a significantly larger unit. Anything and everything gets magnified on TVs that big. But if it's size you're after and that massive picture gives you the most enjoyment, go for it. Also, I think the Hisense would be brighter. Weigh that into your decision as well. If you're in a room that gets a lot of sun or has a lot of ambient light, consider the Mini LED option. Personally, my pick would be the 77-inch C5. I want that OLED image quality, and 77 inches is plenty. Any smaller than that, and I'd be tempted to go with the extra-large Hisense instead. Either way, I think you're in for a good time.
