Hello. I'm hesitating between the B8 and the B8II. The B8II is €800 more expensive. The B8 costs €1500 and the B8II costs €2300. I watch SD, (720-4k) HD, 4k as well as streaming. I watch TV both during the day and at night, and it's important that there is no lack of brightness while watching during the day. I've read a few comments from users who have the B8, and even when watching during the day they are satisfied with the brightness. HDR content is not that important to me. I currently have the XE9005, so I'm wondering how much brighter it is than the B8? Is the difference significant or small? And the second question is, is the B8II worth €800 more? If any of you have had both TVs, could you write your impressions? Thanks

Hello.

Guys, I need some opinions.

I have a Sony (9 years old) XE9005 55" and I'm thinking about switching to miniled or oled..

Sony B9 (five years warranty) 65" 2700€, Sony B8II (two years warranty) 2300€, Sony B8 (two years warranty) 1500€ with discount.

About three weeks ago I was in a store and I was looking at OLED TVs with a 4k demo playing. There were B8 65" and B8II 55" side by side. At first glance, the picture is nicer on the B8II and a little brighter, but not significantly brighter than the B8. However, the black was deeper on the B8 compared to the B8II.. I asked the salesman if he could adjust the brightness, he said he couldn't, that's how everything was set (probably at the factory or whatever.)

Now, I'll mostly be watching SD TV channels (720-1080p) as well as 4k movies and some sport. I rarely watched HDR movies on the XE9005.

It's not an option for me to lower the blinds on the windows in my room if I want to watch TV.

I read the comments for the B9 and only find praise, but the question is, is the B9 worth €2700 when you can buy a better TV (B8II) for €400 less?

Would it be logical to switch from fald lcd tv to oled or not? Oled should be the next big thing, but it doesn't seem that way to me, since miniLED is still recommended alongside excellent OLED TVs.. Everyone says OLED, OLED, but it seems that the situation is not clear when miniLED is still recommended. I haven't had a chance to see the B9 but they say it's 95% OLED.
