After three years of saving Best Buy Gift Cards and researching televisions, I finally decided to buy a 55 inch Sony a80l.
No regrets so far. Picture quality is excellent as expected! Brightness has not been an issue.
I will now start saving for my upgrade to a 65 inch in four or five years.

I seem to always buy tvs every couple of years but knew after reading and researching this TV I knew it was worth the investment. And truly is. Each time I find myself entranced like in the store when you are just browsing right at home. Great purchase and is still going great! The quality is just superb. Pretty lightweight and slick.

Yeah sure it's an OLED and the contrast is great, response time is spectacular, Fine, sure, whatever.
Forget all that. You can get that out of an LG B4. This is much more about the listening experience than the visual.
The screen vibrates. It's supposed to, and you can't undersell how cool that is. I already had a Paradigm surround sound setup, and the display acting as an additional center channel just adds a whole new dimension to the soundfield. That "Acoustic Surface Audio" or whatever SONY calls it has changed the way I interact with the TV; watching/viewing is secondary, all I want to do is listen to all the little details that got washed out before.

I bought this TV to replace my 2010-era Panasonic 1080p LCD TV and I love it. I was on the fence about buying a smart TV for years because I didn't want to deal with laggy or annoying interfaces or not getting app updates once the manufacturer stopped supporting the device. But this TV has the same UI as my Chromecast streaming devices and very similar to my Nvidia Shield that I used on my old TV. And if apps stop getting updates, I'll go back to using a streaming device plugged into my HDMI input.
Image quality on this TV is fantastic, especially when paired with a 4K/UltraHD Blu-ray player and UltraHD Blu-rays (the ones that come in the black cases). The image processing on this TV is great for streaming too. I don't notice nearly as much pixelation in dark areas when streaming shows on Netflix or other apps. Even old 1080p content looks good.
I have it connected to my Sony sound system so I can't comment on the sound quality of this TV. Other reviews I've watched say it's decent but I would probably still plan to get a sound bar or something for the best quality.
I wish it wasn't so expensive but I have no regrets with this purchase. It's worth every penny.

OLED provides the best picture! I have a Samsung Q80 in my living room that company regularly comments about how good the picture and colors are when they visit. The picture on the Sony Bravia OLED completely blows away the picture quality and clarity of my Samsung. I don’t think I will ever purchase anything but Sony OLED to replace or upgrade the TVs in my house.

Great picture, however, when using the remote as probably 100 % of people would, the TV will lock up, and will not respond to a channel change, or any other change. I have to unplug the TV to reset it, or it will not respond at all. A manufacturing lack of Quality Control. Also the Remote Control Does not have number Buttons on it, Re Engineering of this obvious mistake is very necessary.

I haven't found anything i don't like about this tv. I used to be a die hard Samsung fan but with OLED tech, I found Sony to be better quality in my opinion. The picture is outstanding. I have my streaming service on 1 input and my PS5 on another. When i switch devices and streaming services the picture and the audio changes automatically (I think it learns after a couple of times adjusting). I watch a movie, everything goes to cinema, I watch a sitcom or tv show and it chooses Dolby or Dialog as needed. I switch to my PS5 and everything switches to Game mode. This is my first TV with Dolby Atmos and it is night and day compared to my old Samsung. Perfect example for this is the movie Interstellar (or pretty much any Christopher Nolan film). I was never able to hear the dialog and had to vol + or - constantly. The loud parts always seemed distorted. With this Sony tv, i can hear the dialog and the sound fx are clear and not overbearing. My next purchase will be a sound bar that supports Atmos to see how it sounds with a boost. Very happy with this purchase

Perfect size for our room. Great color. Very good with dark/night scenes. It has good sound. I bought a soundbar to go with it. Probably could have saved that money, though there is some marginal improvement with movies.

After experiencing lifetimes of 5 and 6 years respectively on two mid-price models from Samsung, it was time to look elsewhere. Sony has always been about optics and sound and not household appliances. Based on reading many, many reviews and several viewing trips to the local BBY, it was decision time. As a brand, Sony models stood out from the pack. OLED was a must-have requirement. All the research and store level viewing was good, but having the actual in place in our home was even better. In particular, the sound quality and related options are just great. I’ve sat in front of friends’ tv’s with sound bars setups that aren’t any better than this model. Very pleased with this tv and especially the way BBY handled the transaction, delivery and set-up that exceeded expectations.

This is a fantastic tv...the clarity of the picture is amazing! It adjusts to the brightness in our room without compromising picture quality. Very nice interface with our internet so much so that we no longer use our Roku with it. Sound is the best we have had with a tv, and no sound bar needed!

Coming from an LG C7 to this, it's a big upgrade. The upscaling, AI sharpening, and other features are great. The Menus are simple to use, and overall a very good television, The picture is what you'd expect from a modern OLED. I've had the TV for several months and there haven't been any issues.
Overall I think Sony makes a great product, and I would continue to buy Bravia again.

The Bravia OLED has a really good picture. Which is true of most any OLED really. But this one has stable brightness levels and no artifacting(that I have noticed), unlike my previous OLED which would ‘sparkle’ on some black backgrounds. I can’t attest to the sound, I use a theatre system. So take that rating with a grain of salt. I got this on sale, so I’m extremely happy. I would recommend this tv if you’re in the market. Try to find a sale if possible tho.

The picture is 5 stars. Outstanding quality. Looks almost 3-dimensional. Much better than my Sony XBR. BUT...
Sound quality is thin. No analog sound output, only digital, so I needed a digital-to-analog converter to send the sound to my surround system.
Remote is tiny, buttons are small and not intuitive. Not backlit. No numeric keypad.
Automatic setup failed. It took 3 calls to Sony to get TV to work with cable and cable remote. When I turn the set on I always have to hit the TV button on the remote twice to get to cable. It won't remember the setting.
Has wi-fi but no browser. Some streaming services are already set up, Adding others is a royal pain. It is faster to connect my laptop PC to the TV by HDMI cable and stream from it.
I've had Sony TV's going back to the Trinitrons. This unit has the best picture but is the least user-friendly set I've owned.
