Very Satisfied with Sony OLED vs Samsung QNLED
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony Bravia A80L OLED. I'm much more satisfied with exchange for the Sony OLED vs Samsung QNLED. Sony picture color is more natural in display with standard mode. " 5 star Special Thanks" to Geek squad tech's "Edgar & Manny for their knowledge in resolving the issue and correctly hooking up the Pioneer Elite receiver to the Sony TV. I can see the displays of volume, speaker calibration and other AV receiver inputs.

Honest review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is based on my comparisons between LG and Sony OLED's. I own a G3, C3 and now a A80L. This was purchased for my parents because they like the Google UI and it met my budget, but I regret not buying an open box C3/C4 or G3. I originally paid the same price for the G3 (open-box) as the A80L. Image quality: The upscaling isn't as good as I thought it would be for viewing Youtube content even at 4K and following recommendations from Sony/forms regarding the settings. UI: Easily the best UI on the market. It's simple to use (once you're finished with the 15-20 minute setup). Very snappy and responsive even for a TV that's a year old. Getting into the menu while watching content is nice and the ability to cast is simple. My folks love how easy it is to stream from their desktops or mobile devices. Sound: Surprisingly very good all things considered for a TV speaker. I was ready to buy a soundbar for my folks but in a medium sized room it holds its own pretty well and I'm impressed. Remote: Easy to use, kinda small so if you have big hands it might be a small gripe for you. Buttons are have a simple layout although they are also very small. I found myself pressing two buttons at once and I have smaller sized hands. Brightness: I'm a little disappointed here because I expected better from an OLED, but even with the power saving off and tweaking the settings it's just enough for me to consider keeping it. If you need a TV that's going to be in a well-lit room I'd consider something from LG's lineup. All in all, if I could go back I'd go with the LG B4 over this. I just happened to get the Sony for a pretty good price and it's for my parents. If you're considering this, I'd recommend looking elsewhere but make sure you do your due diligence and research beforehand. My parents love the TV and it meets their standards.

Great Addition to My Man-Cave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My 1st OLED TV & I'm glad I purchased it. Love the crisp images & all of the features that come with the TV. I bundled this up with the Sonos Arc, Sub & Era 300s & man, what a nice addition to my man-cave...just in time for football season. Highly recommend! Added bonus, bought it at $200 off regular retail & since then there were 2 sales: $300 off then $400 off. These sales were all within the period where I could make price adjustments. Sweet!

Gorgeous Picture
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I made the switch from a 2020 LG 4K TV (mid range) and the OLED from Sony is a huge improvement. I chose Sony because their new tech that prevents screen burn in is in cheaper TVs than LG. I also like the Bravia/Google platform as its very useful. I have this set up with my Xbox Series X and a Samsung Q930C soundbar system. The only issue is that this doesnt support VRR and Dolby Vission at the same time. It does support Atmos at all times provided you have Atmos content. One nice thing is that the Tidal app on Bravia actually plays atmos content.

Good TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall good experience but there are so many settings. Voice descriptions keep coming on and there are lots of places to turn this on/off. Remote is not great- very minimal and no numbers on it which is annoying.

Bravia doesn’t disappoint.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the picture quality and sound. I have it in my living room with normal room light & it doe well on glare for an oled. The reversibility on the tv legs is a nice extra. Sony does need to get better at its menu designs. It’s fine but needlessly over complicated. This is common with Sony products thought. Tv has lots of picture controls for those wanting to customize their settings. I recommend and suggest getting the h500 sound bar.
