Good Picture but prone to frequent restarts

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.
Hi AvgTechUser, we are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the Sony - 55" Class BRAVIA 8 OLED, we understand that it may be really frustrating to deal with a TV restarting, especially while you are enjoying your content, this is definitely not the experience we want you to have.

Great qualities but the smart features and constant updates needed are quite annoying! Shuts off during shows if new update is available!

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.

Best TV I have ever had! The colors on this OLED TV are fantastic. You don't have to worry about screen burnout, as this Google TV has 4 built in screen savers that change the screen picture.

The vibrant colors and the built-in screen savers are indeed some of the standout features of this model. It's great to know that the screen savers are providing you with peace of mind regarding screen burnout. We appreciate your feedback and are delighted that our Google TV has exceeded your expectations. Enjoy your viewing experience and thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam

Still new to the TV but nice picture , however has reflection issue due to lights behind
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!
Best regards, Gus Sony Social Media Team
