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

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

Posted .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.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi SkipS,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you are experiencing some performance and update issues with your BRAVIA XR8B.
To help resolve this, please power cycle the TV by unplugging it from the wall outlet for 2 minutes to reboot the system. Ensure the TV is properly connected to your network; if using Wi-Fi, we recommend keeping the TV within 25 feet of your router. You can also check for any available updates by navigating to Settings > System > About > System Software Update.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, we highly encourage you to contact our technical support team for further assistance:

Posted .We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with your new Bravia 8, Brian.
That is certainly not the experience we want you to have. While we understand your decision to return it, we’d love the chance to help troubleshoot this before you head back to the store. Sometimes a simple setting, like an "Idle TV Standby" timer or a Bravia Sync (HDMI-CEC) conflict with another device, can cause the power to cycle.
If you'd like to try a quick fix, you can reach out to our support team directly here:

We want to ensure you get the premium experience Sony is known for.

I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi TerriaM,
We are very glad to hear that you are enjoying the crystal-clear picture and sound of your new television and that you would highly recommend it!
The stunning clarity you're seeing is a result of our OLED technology, which uses millions of self-lit pixels to deliver perfect blacks and vibrant, lifelike colors. To match that visual excellence, we’ve incorporated Acoustic Surface Audio+. This unique technology uses special actuators behind the panel to turn the entire screen into a speaker, ensuring that the sound comes from exactly where the action is happening on screen for a truly immersive cinematic experience.
Thank you for making Sony part of your daily viewing.
Best regards,
Dominick

Posted .Hi DannyB,
Thank you so much for the 4-star rating. We’re very glad to hear you’re enjoying the vivid colors and picture quality of your new Sony XR8B—it’s definitely designed to make those visuals pop!
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the speakers. While we aim for a slim, sleek design, we know audio is a huge part of the experience.

Thanks for choosing Sony, and enjoy the movies!
