Is the Sony BRAVIA 8 II 55" QD-OLED right for you?
If you want reference film picture, the full cinema format list and Sony's processing in a 55 inch set, and have the budget for it, this is built squarely for you.
If you want most of the OLED experience for less, a mainstream OLED will get you close on picture without the flagship premium or the Sony soundbar dependency.
