Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, Doreen!
We are pleased to hear that the delivery of your K-55XR8B TV went well, but we are truly sorry that you are having difficulty with the voice feature and are finding the picture brightness to be lower than expected. This certainly isn't the seamless experience we intend to deliver.
The voice you're hearing is likely the TalkBack accessibility feature, which reads on-screen information aloud. We can help you turn this off quickly:
Press the Home button on your remote.
Go to Settings.
Navigate to System.
Select Accessibility.
Find and select TalkBack.
Toggle the Enable/Use Service setting to Off.
If your TV is not bright enough, we recommend checking two key settings:
Picture Mode: If the TV is set to a power-saving mode, the brightness will be limited. Try changing the Picture Mode from "Standard" or "Cinema" to "Vivid" or "Custom."
Light Sensor: Your TV may have an Ambient Light Sensor that automatically adjusts brightness based on the room light. While this feature is great for power savings, it can make the picture seem dim during the day. Go into the picture settings and look for the Light Sensor or Ambient Light Sensor setting and turn it Off to unlock maximum brightness.
We want you to fully enjoy the premium picture quality of your new Sony TV. If you try the steps above and are still having trouble, please contact our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv. Our specialists can walk you through the settings in real-time.
Thank you for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Good, but not great. Consider something else.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good, but not great. This new OLED from Sony has a good picture, but it’s too dim to even enjoy (especially if you watch HDR or Dolby Vision content). I returned it and purchased a Bravia 7 mini LED, which is much brighter with an equally good picture quality.
