Questions & Answers
Does Sony 55" BRAVIA XR8B OLED has a rotating base, instead of a fixed base?
Answered by SonyListensHi SbHixson, Thank you for your question! No. The Sony BRAVIA XR8B (model K55XR8B) features a 4-way "Underlay" stand, but it does not swivel or rotate. Instead of rotation, Sony focused on "Multi-way" flexibility for height and width: Outside position: Legs at the very ends of the TV. Inside position: Legs moved toward the center (for narrow furniture). Soundbar position (Outside): Raises the TV to fit a soundbar underneath. Soundbar position (Inside): Raises the TV with legs toward the center. If a rotating view is a priority for your setup, many customers choose to pair this TV with a universal swivel tabletop stand or a full-motion wall mount, both of which would allow you to adjust the viewing angle as needed. We hope you find this information helpful! Thanks for considering Sony. Regards, Dominick
