When it comes to TV upgrades, there are a couple of crucial decisions to make: picking the right time to swap your current set for a new one, and choosing the right model for you out of the wealth of different options on offer.
Here at TechRadar we pride ourselves on giving you the most thoroughly researched picks for the best TVs on the market at the moment – so you can pick out the television that fits your requirements and comes at the right price for your budget.
With that in mind we'd like to present a couple of recommendations for you to consider: the Sony OLED Bravia 8 II 55-inch (model 82450202) and the Sony OLED Bravia 8 II 65-inch (82460206) – both of which now come with a £250 gift card at John Lewis*.
Introducing the Sony OLED Bravia 8 II TVs
The Sony Bravia series of OLED TVs has long impressed us at TechRadar, and the most recent Sony Bravia 8 II model continues that trend, earning a close-to-perfect score in our review). Whether you go for the 55-inch or 65-inch version of the Sony Bravia 8 II at John Lewis, here's what you're getting.
It starts with the look of these sets, which are virtually frameless, and almost certain to look sleeker and more modern than your current model. From there we've got to mention the four HDMI ports, two of which come with HDMI 2.1 – and all the 4K/120Hz goodness gamers will be looking for, including VRR and ALLM support.
Then there's the Eco Dashboard 2, giving you full control over energy settings and maybe even saving you money on your bills, and the excellent Google TV: The on-board OS just gets better and better, and currently gives you access to more than 400,000 movies and TV episodes across multiple streaming apps, as well as over 10,000 other apps and games.
Most important though, these TVs quite simply offer the best OLED picture Sony has ever engineered. The QD-OLED panels fitted to these models look gorgeous, and whatever your choice of content, it's going to shine on these bright, crisp, and perfectly defined displays. It's another leap forward in television picture quality.
With another £250 to spend at John Lewis
If you're not quite convinced yet, there's no better time to upgrade. Buy the Sony Bravia 8 II 55-inch (82450202) or the Sony Bravia 8 II 65-inch (82460206) right now, and John Lewis will throw in a £250 gift card for you* – an offer that's also available on a range of other Sony Bravia TVs at the retailer right now.
While the Sony Bravia 8 II has superb integrated sound, you could put your £250 towards one of the best soundbars at John Lewis and improve the audio even further (the TV actually has an included stand specially built to take a compatible Sony soundbar). It's completely up to you what you spend it on though.
That's not all, because you can currently grab 10 movies and 24 months of unlimited streaming on Sony Pictures Core when buying either of these sets. With a huge selection of top titles, streaming in high quality and with IMAX Enhanced technology where available, you may find you can cancel all the other streaming services you're signed up to.
These special offers mean now is the ideal time to upgrade to the Sony Bravia 8 II 55-inch or 65-inch, while you can still redeem them. At the time of writing they're currently £300 off on the John Lewis site as well: you can pick up the 55-inch model for £2,199 and the 65-inch for £2,699.
