Q: Does this TV have VRR support?
A: Hi Bonkgi, Yes, the BRAVIA XR8B OLED TV supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) via its HDMI 2.1 ports, allowing for smoother, tear-free gaming when connected to a compatible console or PC. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
A: Hi NancyJ, Thank you for your question regarding the Sony BRAVIA XR8B! The changing picture and brightness you’re experiencing during daylight is due to the [Ambient Optimization Pro] feature. This feature uses a built-in light sensor to automatically adjust the screen brightness based on the surrounding lighting conditions, which is why the picture remains consistent after dark. If you prefer to have the picture to stay consistent regardless of ambient light, you can easily disable this feature by following these steps: 1. Go to [Settings] 2. Select [Display & Sound] 3. Choose [Ambient Optimization Pro] 4. Toggle off the [Auto adjust according to ambient light] option This will prevent the TV from automatically adjusting brightness based on the environment. We hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for being part of the Sony family! Regards, Dominick
Q: Having to turn volume up to 30. Is this normal?
A: undefined
Q: I don't have cable in this house which TV does Wi-Fi
A: Hi there, Every Sony Smart TV, including the 55" Class BRAVIA XR8B OLED Google TV, comes with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and a full suite of smart features, meaning you do not need a cable or satellite subscription to watch streaming content. You can connect it to your home's Wi-Fi network right out of the box and immediately start streaming from popular apps like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube using the integrated Google TV platform. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
A: Hello Nancy, Thank you for considering Sony products. We appreciate you reaching out about the picture brightness issue on your K55XR8B TV. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, especially given your bright family room environment. To improve the picture brightness, please try the following steps: 1.

Q: What’s the difference between this and the Bravia 5
A: Hi Rick, We appreciate your question. We're happy to clarify that for you! When comparing the K-55XR8B and the BRAVIA 5, you're looking at two great TVs, but the true distinction lies in the core display technology and what each is intended to be the best at. The K-55XR8B is an OLED TV. The key advantage here is that every single pixel is self-illuminating. This means when a pixel is supposed to show black, it turns completely off. This unique capability gives the XR8B perfect black levels and virtually infinite contrast. For cinematic viewing, especially in a dimmer room, the OLED is unmatched because of the incredible detail it maintains in dark shadows. In contrast, the BRAVIA 5 is a Mini LED television. While it still uses our top-tier processing, it's a traditional LCD screen with a radically improved backlight made of thousands of tiny LEDs. The critical difference here is brightness. Because it uses a powerful, dedicated backlight, the BRAVIA 5 can achieve significantly higher peak brightness levels than the OLED. For additional specifications of the XR8B, please visit the following link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-oled-tvs-android-/k-55xr8b/specifications So, in short: the XR8B is better for contrast and perfect blacks, while the BRAVIA 5 is better for superior brightness. Both are solid choices; your final decision will ultimately depend on the specific features you prioritize and, of course, your budget. Thanks for considering Sony products! Best regards, Estefany
Q: Does this TV have screen dimming to view easier at night?
A: Hi Charles, That is a great question about viewing the BRAVIA XR8B comfortably at night. Yes, the TV is equipped with a specific Picture Mode designed for a softer, less intense viewing experience, which is ideal for nighttime. The BRAVIA XR8B features a "Calm" Picture Mode. This setting is engineered to produce soft colors and gentle contrast, specifically making it suitable for displaying calming and relaxing content in low-light environments, like viewing at night. We hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for considering Sony products! Regards, Dominick
Q: is this bravia compatible with the Sony BRAVIA Theater System 6
A: Hi Ronald! Thanks for reaching out! The Sony BRAVIA K-55XR8B is compatible with the Sony BRAVIA Theater System 6 (HT-S60). For best results, connect the system using HDMI ARC/eARC and ensure both devices have the latest software updates installed. You can learn more about this television on our site: https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/musltn1/v1/en-003/index.html Thank you for making Sony part of your purchasing consideration! Best regards, Estefany
