    Purchased the 55in model a few days ago to replace the 4yr old LED in the game room. Hooked up the PS5 & fired up some Elden Ring… wow what a difference. The palet of colors & contrast is astonishing. Never thought I’d notice something like the different shades of green from plants, trees, grass, etc.. Variable refresh rate is a nice upgrade as well, everything looks & feels buttery smooth. Watched Dune Part 2 in 4K last night & it was the nicest presentation of the film I’ve ever seen.

    I love this TV. I replaced a 10 year old Samsung 4K that was definitely behind the times and let me tell you… wow. This is my first OLED and it works so well in the basement room where I mounted it. Highly recommend this TV if it’s in the right space. I also got a Bravia 9 which is much better suited for a brighter room.

      Hi MikeL, Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that your Sony BRAVIA 8 is a perfect fit for your basement setup. OLED truly shines in the right environment, and we’re glad you’re enjoying the upgrade. Also, great choice with the BRAVIA 9 for a brighter space! We appreciate your recommendation and hope you continue to love both TVs! Thank you for choosing Sony! -Maria Sony_US

    The tv works great, but the connection setup for an hdmi soundbar leaves a lot to be desired. It works after you run through a set of trial and error. The documentation is not clear on the setup.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, PeterG.

      We are so pleased to hear that your K55XR80 television is working great for you. We also understand your frustration with the HDMI soundbar connection process and the documentation. This is certainly not the seamless and user-friendly experience we aim to deliver, and we apologize for the trial and error you had to go through.

      Your comments about the unclear setup instructions are invaluable, and we will be sure to share this with our product development and documentation teams. We are always looking for ways to make our products easier to set up and use.

      Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for being a Sony customer.

    The 55" Class Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV is absolutely beautiful, and the service couldn't have been better. I bought the TV just before Christmas, and Best Buy had it installed the very next day! The installers were helpful and friendly, did the installation quickly, cleaned up, and took the old TV away with them. Great product, great service!

    We like that the picture quality does not change, it looks good from all angles, even if you are watching more from the side. We also like no trim around the edge our old tv had that. The picture is nice and crisp. We looked at many tvs and this is a great tv in our price range. We would definately recommend.

    The television has quality sound and color depth. It was quite cumbersome to install on a table with two people. Setup was a nightmare. It does not work with cable company programming very well. It is not recommended for older consumers, due to moving from menu to menu. It is product more for the younger generation for video games and streaming.
