Great picture and sound, fairly easy setup.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were informed this TV was not compatible without cable provider after the purchase during the setup, but fortunately our cable company saved the day and guided us through another means to stream with this TV and then proceed to instruct us on how to setup everything so we only have to use one remote!!

New tv purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I believed that the picture quality would be far better than sold to me !!! The voices were to be much better for someone with hearing aids as they projected in store ???? That is not the case .
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi MichaelB
We are sorry to hear that the picture quality of your 55" BRAVIA XR8B OLED TV and the audio experience have not met the expectations set for you in the store. For the voice clarity issue, we recommend going into your TV's settings and navigating to Settings > Display & Sound > Sound > Sound Customisation to try activating the Voice Zoom feature, which is designed to isolate and enhance dialogue. If you are using a soundbar or receiver, ensure the audio is set to a "Voice" or "Dialogue Enhancement" mode for the best results, as the in-store demonstration may have used optimized external equipment.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Good if it didn’t shut off
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality is amazing especially paired with ps5. The reason I am only giving it 2 stars is because mine shut off 4 times within owning it for a week! It got stuck in power cycles and I had to constantly unplug it from the wall so I returned it
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, Rickygreen33.
We are very sorry to hear that your experience with the K-55XR8B was cut short by these power cycling issues. While we are glad you were able to see the "amazing" picture quality when paired with your PS5, we sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the TV shutting off repeatedly.
Having to constantly unplug a brand-new television is certainly not the seamless, premium experience we aim to provide. While we respect your decision to return the unit, we would have loved the opportunity to troubleshoot this with you, as software updates or a factory reset often resolve these types of startup behaviors.
Your feedback is valuable to us as we continue to improve the reliability of our products. Thank you for giving Sony a try for your gaming setup.
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team
