Honest Review
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The A80L is an amazing oled. The contrast and colors are great. This oled is great for rooms that dont have a ton of natural light hitting the screen. If you want to put an oled in a bright room the samsung s90c, LG G3, or sony A95l would be a better choice. The speaker quality is pretty impressive but i would still recommend a soundbar if you want the best experience. I reccomend turning off motionflow and keeping cinemotion on high. This will remove jutter in movies but wont give soap opera effect. Also highly recommend turning off contrast and black level enhancer as well as noise reduction settings since these settings will reduce the overall sharpness and quality. Keep smooth gradation on low. If you want the most accurate color in films i recommend expert 1 for the color temperature. If you want more vivid color turn on cool color temperature. Also turn off live color. Change all these settings under the custom picture mode. For animated movies i reccomended using the vivid picture mode. Overall this tv is amazing

Amazing TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this TV. I purchased it because I needed to upgrade my 14 yr old tv. What I like about this TV is its simplicity to us. It has every app you could possible need. One aspect that I chose this TV over a Samsung TV is that there is not lag between switching apps or going back to the home menu, very fast start up as well. The picture is extremely clear, though it may seema bit dark when one is on the home menu. Yet once the show starts the image is very bright and the sound quality very good. The remote is simple with 6 shortcuts and does not contain many of the buttons, such as numbers and others that many people no longer use nowadays.

Fantastic color, picture and GEEK Squad service!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE my new Sony 55" BRAVIA OLED smart TV! I've owned smart TVs from LG and SamSung and think the color is more intense across the spectrum than either of those. My wonderful Geek Squad guys mounted the TV over my fireplace, added my Sonos Sound Bar and even set up my icons for my streaming services so they pop up first! Couldn't be happier!

Ditched Samsung
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided to try Sony because Samsung TVs seem to be extremely slow and the picture quality/darkness haven’t been making me happy lately. Absolutely will never buy a Samsung tv again. Sony has a new customer because this TV picture is amazing! The Google TV aspect of it is much faster compared to the apps on Samsung.

Another Great Sony OLED.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 3rd Sony OLED. I purchased the A80K last year and thought I'd buy the newest A80L. I see very little difference between the two. The A80K is incredible so I'm not sure what I was expecting from the A80L. Happy with both of these TVs!!!

AMAZING TV!!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a stunning tv for the price. I was in the market fo an LG when the salesman swayed me to the Sony Tv section. He had me compare them side by side and let me tell you this stomped Lg at the price point bar none. The sound quality is exceptional. Please do yourself a favor and buy it.
