This is my 2nd review on this TV, as I also bought a 77 inch. I happened to convince my in-laws that they should get this TV. You cant go wrong with a Sony Bravia.

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!!

I have only recently set up and have not had the chance to actually watch a movie or integrate with other home theater components, hence my 4 star vs a 5. But the setup was straight forward, and easy to use with my wall mount. The design is slim which helps keep everytning looking good. I am excited to use more!

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

The last one was a Sony Bravia about 8-10 years old. It had aging issues, but not picture.
This TV does not look any different to us.
We replaced it because it was coming on by itself, slowing..

Hi MarkD,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing intermittent connection drops with your streaming apps. To ensure you get the most out of your BRAVIA XR8B, please try the following steps to stabilize your network:
1. Power Cycle: Unplug both your TV and your internet router from the power outlet for two full minutes, then plug them back in. This refreshes the network handshake between the devices.
2. Check Distance: For a stable wireless signal, ensure your TV is located within 25 feet of your router. Walls and large furniture can sometimes interfere with the signal strength.
3. Wired Connection: If the router location allows, try using a wired Ethernet cable for the most reliable connection, especially when streaming high-definition content.
We value your support and hope to get your streaming experience back to 5-star quality soon.
Thank you for considering Sony!
Regards, Dominick

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

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

Hi VitoM,
We appreciate your feedback regarding the picture quality on your BRAVIA 8 OLED compared to your previous LED. To help you get the most out of the OLED’s unique contrast and color depth, we recommend following this article: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00190409. Additionally, Switching to "Professional" or "Cinema" mode and ensuring your HDMI signal is set to "Enhanced" can significantly improve the visual experience to meet Master Series standards.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
