Buy this thang
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical when looking at the price but took the leap. And wow am I glad I did. This thing is so premium. Of the highest qualities compared to what other tvs are these days. Just feels sturdy. And looks amazing. Color and picture quality is outstanding. UI is one of my favorites for a TV. If you have a PS5 and some Blu rays, it’s wraps. So good. Buy it if you’re gonna buy an OLED tv

Good Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great picture, great sound for factory tv speakers, and easy user interface. Only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because the remote did not have backlighting like other Sony OLED TVs. I purchased a factory replacement with the backlighting and it works like it should.

AMAZING Picture!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a big difference between Bravia 8 and Bravia 8 II. Nice bang for your buck! This is my first oled, and I am so excited! I've been buying sony since the old Wega Trinitron days. Seeing is believing! You can see the difference with the Dolby Vision and standard. I know I know what you're thinking. I might be biased but hey... "Picture me rolling!!....Big Syke, Nook, Hank....All Eyes on Me! Hahhaha!!!!!"

It is most rewarding to hear that your new TV is delivering such a beautiful picture. We love that you’ve paired it with a soundbar to get the full effect!
The K-55XR8B features a stunning OLED panel that produces pure blacks and vibrant colors for a lifelike image. It also uses Acoustic Surface Audio+, where the screen itself acts as the speaker, ensuring the sound perfectly follows the action on the display.

Really nice 4k TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an exceptional TV, although it would be nice if the spacer screws for wall mounting were included in the packaging. The picture is quite detailed and the ATSC 3.0 "NexGen" tuner is a great feature that many of the competitive TV's just do not have. I think is plenty bright for many people's tastes.

I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi RoyceT,
It’s rewarding to hear that you are finding the BRAVIA XR8B both easy to use and visually excellent!
The stunning clarity you're seeing is driven by our OLED panel, which features over 8 million self-lit pixels that can turn on and off individually. This allows for pure blacks and breathtaking highlights that simply aren't possible on standard screens. To manage all that detail, our XR Processor works like a human brain, analyzing the focal points of every scene in real-time to ensure the colors and contrast look exactly as they would in the real world. We are glad that this sophisticated technology, combined with our user-friendly interface, is providing such an enjoyable experience.
Thank you for trusting Sony to be your window into incredible entertainment!
Regards,
Dominick
