Q: QuestionHi i was thinking about buying a Sony Bravia 8 or xr8b and was wondering if the xr8b has a QD-OLED panel and which one would be a better for watching movies and playing PS5?
Asked by SB.
- A:Answer Hi SB, Thank you for your interest in the Sony BRAVIA 8 and XR8B! To clarify, neither of these models feature a QD-OLED panel, both use our premium OLED technology. However, if you're specifically looking for a QD-OLED display, you might want to check out our latest BRAVIA 8 II, which does include that advanced QD-OLED technology. As for which TV is better for watching movies and playing on your PS5, both the BRAVIA 8 and XR8B deliver outstanding performance. They share the same gaming features such as 4K/120fps support, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Dolby Vision for gaming and HDR tone mapping—ensuring a smooth and immersive gaming experience. That said, the BRAVIA 8 includes an XR Contrast Booster, which enhances brightness and depth in darker scenes, giving it a slight edge in overall picture quality, especially for movies. We hope this helps you make the best choice for your setup, and thanks for considering Sony! Regards, Dominick

Q: QuestionDoes this TV have variable audio output and what type of connection is it?
Asked by Dave.
- A:Answer Hello Dave, Thank you for considering Sony products! We appreciate your inquiry about the variable audio output and connection types on the K65XR8B TV and are happy to assist you. The Bravia 8 provides Variable Audio Output through its Optical Digital output and HDMI eARC/ARC ports. This means that if you connect an external sound system, you can often synchronize and control the volume levels directly. The K65XR8B also supports Bluetooth connectivity for a wireless audio experience. Please note, this model does not have a 3.5mm analog headphone jack, so for wired analog setups, a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) connected to the Optical port is required.

Q: Questionwhat is the difference between 65 bravia 8 oled and bravia xr8b oled
Asked by doug1.
- A:Answer Hi doug1, The BRAVIA 8 OLED and the BRAVIA XR8B OLED are essentially the same core TV, sharing the same OLED panel, 4K resolution, and XR Processor. The primary differences lie in the included features and promotional bundles: the XR8B is a specialized retailer model that typically does not include the Sony Pictures Core movie credits or the promotional package, and it may lack the XR Contrast Booster software feature present in the standard BRAVIA 8. Visually, the picture quality is designed to be highly similar, making the XR8B a strong value option for those who do not require the extra software or promotional credits. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

Asked by Ed.
- A:Answer Hi Ed, The Sony BRAVIA XR8B is indeed powered for precision through its integrated XR Processor™. This system utilizes an advanced AI scene recognition feature that detects and analyzes visual data with flawless accuracy. Rather than being "controlled" in a literal sense, the TV uses this intelligence to optimize the picture in real-time, adjusting every frame to achieve the ultimate level of realism based on what you are watching. Beyond just the visuals, this AI-driven approach extends to your audio experience to ensure you never have to deal with muffled voices again. The new Voice Zoom 3™ technology employs AI machine learning to specifically recognize human dialogue within a soundscape. It can intelligently amplify or reduce volume levels so that even whispered conversations remain loud and clear. We hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for considering Sony!

Q: QuestionCan this tv be hung on the wall and are the threaded holes 16 inchs by 16 inch apart
Asked by stormin.
- A:Answer Hi Stormin, The Sony BRAVIA K-65XR8B is fully compatible with wall mounting, provided you use a bracket that supports its specific dimensions and weight. For installation planning, the television weighs 49.2 lb (22.3 kg) without the stand, so it is important to ensure the chosen wall mount and the wall surface itself are rated to support that load safely. Regarding the placement of the mounting hardware, the threaded holes on the back of the panel are not 16 by 16 inches apart. This model utilizes a standard VESA hole pitch of 11.81 x 11.81 inches, which corresponds to 300 x 300 mm. We hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for considering Sony!

Q: QuestionHi there - we are replacing a Sony 65" BRAVIA XR A80J OLED 4K UHD. I am wondering if the wall mount we are using for the A80J will work for this TV.
Asked by Majic.
- A:Answer Hi Majic, Thank you for choosing Sony again for your upgrade! That is a fantastic question, and we have some great news for you. Yes, your current wall mount for the Sony A80J will work perfectly with the new Sony K-65XR8B. Both of these 65" models share the exact same mounting specifications, which makes the transition very seamless: VESA® Hole Pitch: Both models utilize a 300 x 300 mm screw pattern. Weight (Without Stand): Both TVs weigh exactly 22.3 kg (49.2 lbs), meaning your existing mount is already rated for the correct load. Since the weight and the hole pattern are identical, you can simply swap the units on your existing bracket without needing to drill new holes or purchase a new mounting system.

Q: QuestionI intend buying this tv in US for use in Nigeria. Does it operate on dual voltage?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Thank you for contacting Sony. Sony televisions manufactured for the U.S. and Canadian markets are officially rated to operate on 120V AC. If you plan to use this model in a country with a different voltage standard, we suggest using a high-quality, grounded power transformer to protect your TV’s internal components. It is also important to note that this model uses the ATSC digital tuner standard for North America. If the local broadcasting system uses a different standard, you will likely need a compatible external set-top box or streaming device to watch local channels. Additionally, please keep in mind that Sony warranties are region-specific, and a television purchased in the U.S. generally carries a warranty valid only within the United States.
