      Hi WilliamP,

      It brings us great satisfaction to hear that you are thoroughly enjoying every aspect of your new television!

      The BRAVIA 8 is a showcase of our most sophisticated engineering, centered around an OLED panel that utilizes millions of self-illuminating pixels to achieve infinite contrast and perfect black levels. This hardware is pushed to its full potential by our XR Processor, which uses scene-based AI analysis to enhance depth and clarity, ensuring that everything from bright highlights to subtle shadows is rendered with lifelike precision. By integrating our Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology—where the screen itself acts as the speaker—we ensure that the high-fidelity sound perfectly matches the stunning visuals, creating a truly unified and premium viewing experience.

      Thank you for choosing Sony for your home!

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    Good Picture but prone to frequent restarts

    Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: 1. Picture quality is good 2. Sound quality is good 3. Stand is sturdy 4. Has a game mode that dramatically reduces input latency Cons: 1. Periodically turns restarts after longer period of use (even after turning off various power saving modes) 2. Does not automatically detect when connected to gaming device and switch to game modes (which is required as latency is sufficiently increased in other picture modes) Overall, I have not been pleased with this purchase. Mainly due to the periodic restarts that frequently happens while I am enjoying content. It will freeze then restart and is good some for some time. Unfortunately this started 2 days after the return period. I will be buying a different TV to replace this one.

    All Sony TVs are the best. I am still using a over 10 years old Sony TV. This Sony Bravia 8 has good movie picture quality, but the TV picture quality is not that good. The screen is darker than my old Sony LCD TV. If you never own a Sony TV, this is your best choice.

    • Brand response from SonyListens
      Posted .

      Hi DAVIDL, thank you for sharing your feedback and highlighting both the great picture quality and your concern with reflections on your K55XR80.

      Reflections on the TV screen can sometimes occur when there are strong light sources, such as lamps or windows, positioned behind the main viewing area. This is a common characteristic for many flat-screen televisions, as the screen may reflect ambient lighting in the room.

      To help minimize this effect, you can try a few adjustments:

      - Position the TV so it faces away from direct light sources.
      - Adjust the lighting in your room, reducing strong lights directly behind your viewing position.
      - Use curtains or blinds to control sunlight if the TV is opposite a window.
      - If possible, use lower-brightness or indirect lighting in the area behind the TV.

      We appreciate your input, which helps us continuously improve our products and support resources. If you have further concerns or need more tips, please feel free to reach out to our support team.

      Thanks again for choosing Sony and for being a valued customer!
