Absolutely love this TV! The picture quality is amazing — super bright colors and deep blacks. Everything looks so clear and realistic. The sound is surprisingly good for such a slim TV, and Google TV makes everything super easy to use. It looks beautiful in my living room and feels like a premium product. Definitely worth it — highly recommend!

Despite what the rep might tell you the Sony Bravia 8 and Sony Bravia XR8B absolutely do not have the same picture quality. Bravia xr8b lacks tri luminous and contrast booster making the xr8b noticeably darker
Posted
Hi JohnV,
Thanks for bringing this up. We're really sorry if there’s been any confusion or disappointment. You’re absolutely right that the Bravia 8 and Bravia XR8B aren’t identical when it comes to picture quality; the XR8B doesn’t include our Triluminos display or contrast booster features, which can definitely make a difference in brightness and color performance.
We always want to be upfront about what each model offers so you can pick what works best for you.
Thanks for considering Sony products and for your feedback.
Sincerely,
Estefany

Honestly a good well rounded oled! The sound is amazing for just the tv alone. The quality of the picture is also amazing. Only caveat it doesn't go as bright as my LG G1 oled but its mostly going to be our bedroom tv so its always dark.

This is by far the best tv I have ever owned. My flagship tv up to this point is a warranty replacement of my Samsung 55" OLED from 2019. Not a bad tv at all, I didn't like situation of how I got it with the tv I purchased and owning for less than 2 years going out on me. The Sony tv by far has a much better viewing and sound experience. After reading about the differences between this model and the top model, I can see that the blacks are slightly pixelated but I have no problem living with that. I mounted this tv in my bedroom and have not looked back at all. Just wondering which sony model will be my new flagship model in the basement...

Hi DMK44,
Thank you for choosing Sony!
We’re honored to hear that the K55XR8B TV has surpassed your previous models, delivering an enhanced viewing and sound experience. Your insightful comparison to the top model and acceptance of the minor pixelation in blacks is appreciated. It is gratifying to know the TV is well-suited for your bedroom setup, and we look forward to supporting you in selecting your next flagship Sony model for the basement. Thank you for your detailed feedback.
Best regards,

Bought this after purchasing a 65" Sony A80H OLED a few years ago. Needed a new one for the bedroom to replace the old 720p Plasma Insignia we've had for 20 years. Didn't want to go with LED or anything with a low refresh rate. When you are used to Plasma smoothness and black levels, even the decent LEDs are terrible. And the motion jitter make my wife nauseous. The Sony OLEDs are amazing TVs. Love the quality, color, black levels, etc. This one was a great price point, especially for a bedroom TV that was not the main living room TV. Good sound too! Would highly recommend.

Hi Boosted3800,
We could not be more pleased to hear that you continue to trust Sony OLED technology!
It's clear that you appreciate the smooth motion and perfect black levels that an OLED provides—qualities that are essential when transitioning from a classic Plasma TV. We are delighted the BRAVIA XR8B met your high standards for quality, color, and sound, especially for a bedroom TV at a great price point.
Thank you for your high recommendation and for choosing Sony!

Great picture, great sound for factory tv speakers, and easy user interface. Only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because the remote did not have backlighting like other Sony OLED TVs. I purchased a factory replacement with the backlighting and it works like it should.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Jacob!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the great picture, the impressive factory sound, and the easy user interface of your K-55XR8B television. It's incredibly rewarding to know that the overall viewing experience is exceeding your expectations.

Your feedback highlights an important feature for our users, and we value your input on the accessories provided with our products. We are pleased to hear that your solution—purchasing a replacement remote with backlighting—resolved the issue and is working exactly as expected!

Oled is Oled is Oled. It will be what Oled is meant to do. Not great in bright rooms, but once you have ambient light under control, the color and contrast is beautiful. Sony has the best color IMO, and the processor is fast and makes the UI navigable and responsive
Posted
Hi ALEX,
We are thrilled to hear that you are experiencing the true potential of OLED with your new BRAVIA XR8B!
You hit the nail on the head regarding the magic of OLED; once the lighting is dialed in, the "beautiful" color and infinite contrast really take center stage. We are especially proud that our processing makes such a noticeable difference for you. Our XR Processor is designed not just to deliver the industry-leading color accuracy you mentioned, but also to ensure the Google TV interface is lightning-fast and intuitive. It’s wonderful to know that the combination of our panel control and high-speed processing is providing the premium experience you were looking for.

Very much enjoying this television. First time I have owned and OLED TV and first time owning a 55" unit as well. East set up, great picture and when I paired with a Bose sound bar, awesome audio to match the video! I am not seeing the dark video that other reviews commented on. Highly recommend this unit!

This is one of the best TVs on store and value for money from Bestbuy. Picture quality especially for movies and apps is excellent. Couple of areas for Sony to consider is the sound quality and brightness especially in bright light condition, that will make it more rounded tv.
