Hi HaroldS,
We are immensely pleased to hear that your new Sony BRAVIA XR8B is performing great so far and that you love the Great Picture quality! This exceptional viewing experience is powered by the combination of our XR Processor, which cross-analyzes hundreds of thousands of individual elements to enhance color, contrast, and clarity in real-time, and the stunning OLED panel, where over 8 million self-lit pixels are precisely controlled to deliver deep, pure blacks and dazzling highlights, bringing astonishing texture and realism to everything you watch.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Dominick

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.

Awesome TV with quality resolution. Have an old SONY Bravia that's lasted me 10+ years. Upgraded to this newer model with no disappointment. Recommend getting a soundbar for quality audio.

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.
