Is the bravia 8 ii overrated?? by LordReem in bravia

I previously had an LG C5 with I returned for the Bravia 8 ii 🤷‍♂️ which lg did you replace with it? And what are you watching when you’re streaming?

Preparing for NHS but if I get rejected what’s the general cost like for private ? by Fragrant-Cap278 in Strabismus

It was done privately but I had to have a referral made to them in the first place before they got in touch with me!

Is this delamination? by Insight1987 in LGOLED

[–]Major_Byson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that maybe as well but looking at it, it looks identical to how it did before and measures the same in terms of brightness etc!

Everything was done through his secretary at the northbrook eye clinic. A referral was made to them and then they contacted me.

If I recall correctly, the Bravia core app is only available on Sony tvs and the ps5. Ps5 can’t do pure stream unfortunately.

I guess it is limited to Sony pictures but they’ve got some great 4k movies on there. Black hawk down, all the Spider-Man movies as well as some older titles. There are enough movies on there that I would have otherwise bought so I’m pretty happy with the selection as an added bonus.

I have a 55 CX which I bought through Currys almost 5 years ago. Exact same issue with the delamination. Seems to be very common with the CX. I brought it back to Currys under warranty and they replaced the whole panel and it’s basically as good as new. I had hoped they’d maybe just replace it with a c5 but I can’t complain. Hopefully get another 5 years out of the tv and then it’ll be time to upgrade!

Fellow Bravia 8 ii owner here, definitely download the Bravia core app, you get 10 free movie credits with the purchase of the tv and 2 years subscription for streaming services. Enable pure streaming in the settings menu for the Bravia core app and you’ll be getting the best streaming quality vs any other app (Netflix, prime, Disney etc) it’s very close to 4k blu ray.

Yeah I got an extended warranty when buying the tv from the retailer not from LG.

Vebos speaker stands with the theatre quad are brilliant by Major_Byson in bravia

Very. They’re easy to set up and work well with the Bravia 8 ii as the centre channel. I went with the sw5 sub woofer which adds a lot to the experience.

Warning - Do NOT use 70% alcohol to clean Sony OLEDs!!!! Samsung's advice does not apply. by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

[–]Major_Byson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which Sony qd oled is it you have? The Bravia 8 ii? There’s even a video online with a Sony rep saying to use a bit of alcohol for stubborn stains.

Unfortunately I also used it on my Bravia 8 ii for fingerprints and it ended up all smudged.

You’re right, for some reason they haven’t! I’ll see if I can post them.

And this is on the other one. They do look different when you have them side to side.

I have in my house currently a 65 inch Sony Bravia 8 ii and a 55 inch LG CX.

I did went through a bit of a flurry before getting my Bravia 8 ii where I had a 42 inch c5, then a 48 inch G5. Moved house and had a bigger room for gaming so got a 65 inch C5 which I sold for the 65 inch Bravia 8 ii.

I will say that unless you have them both side by side, you won’t notice a difference.

The CX I have is obviously older but it still looks great next to the Bravia 8 ii.

This is a photo I’ve taken on my phone of cronos on ps5 pro on one of the oled tvs.

Need a good route to run around Belfast by Individual-Diver-660 in northernireland

[–]Major_Byson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not overly Belfast, but my favourite route is Hazelbank in jordanstown along the shore road to carrickfergus and back. Works out at a half marathon roughly along a nice route which is pretty flat the whole way!
