Yes, the Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED is brighter than the Sony A80L OLED.
The Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED is essentially an enhanced version of the Sony A80L/A80CL OLED, particularly in terms of brightness. While both television models share many underlying similarities in their display technology and picture processing, the BRAVIA 8 features noticeably higher brightness output.
Key Brightness Difference
The most significant distinction lies in their ability to handle ambient light. The Sony BRAVIA 8 gets noticeably brighter in Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) content. This enhanced SDR brightness is crucial for real-world viewing conditions, as it allows the television to more effectively overcome glare from bright windows or room lighting.
In practical terms, this means that if you are watching television in a brightly lit room during the day, the BRAVIA 8 will be better equipped to maintain picture clarity and vibrancy, reducing the impact of reflections and ensuring details remain visible. The Sony A80L, while an excellent OLED TV, does not reach the same peak brightness levels in SDR as the BRAVIA 8, making the latter a more robust choice for brighter viewing environments.
