Posted .Hi LindaB,
We are delighted to hear that your new BRAVIA 8 is providing such a noticeable upgrade over your previous A80J.
Moving from one OLED generation to the next is always an exciting jump, but the improvements in peak brightness and color mapping on this model are designed to truly transform the viewing experience. We take great pride in our XR Processor's ability to maintain that "well-balanced" natural color while pushing the boundaries of clarity and luminance. Hearing that these enhancements are making a real-world difference in your home is exactly why we do what we do.
Thank you for trusting Sony!

Dominick

Amazing TV especially for PS5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this OLED TV about 2 months ago, and so far its been amazing. The google interface is easy to navigate and customize. The picture quality is excellent. The PS5 looks stunning when playing. You will have to mess with a couple of settings to be able to use the 120hz refresh, but its super easy to do. I highly recommend buying this tv.

Good picture, brightness struggles
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an aging Samsung LCD. Google TV is fast and smooth, though the interface is not 4K (1080p? meh, doesn't affect the content). After initial setup, picture was quite dim but I was able to get it to a good level by playing with the settings, turning off eco mode, etc. Plugged in my laptop to play some games and I noticed a peculiar brightness issue: in bright scenes after a few seconds, the panel dims well below what I'd consider acceptable, especially if you're playing a game where you don't have the constant cuts between scenes like a movie or TV show. Turns out this is a feature of most OLEDs called ABL which is in place to protect the panel, and it's particularly aggressive on this model. One review site measured it near 150 nits for a full white screen... for perspective, your phone on max brightness is probably between 400-1000. Most of the time the screen was perfectly acceptable for indoor viewing but these edge cases drove me crazy and ultimately I returned the TV. Guess it's back to LCD land for me. Shame because the colors and clarity were great otherwise.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Josh, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you encountered issues with the brightness dimming while using your Sony - 65" Class BRAVIA 8 OLED. We understand it can be frustrating when the features designed to protect the OLED panel impact your viewing experience, especially during bright scenes. While the K65XR80 delivers stunning color and clarity, we know that every user's preferences and environment can vary. We appreciate your input and will pass it along for consideration in future product development. Thank you for considering Sony! Regards, - Dominick

Sony Bravia 8 is noteworthy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Bravia 8 has an exceptionally good picture. It’s almost 3D and the tech is noticeably different to my 9000 tv I bought 9 years ago and at a much cheaper price. My son games on the tv and he is constantly telling me about all the details, like the light reflection off players hockey breezers which he couldn’t notice before. Just saying it’s worth the money.

Perfect for my needs.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me just start by saying i love this TV. Picture settings are great out of the box and everything looks just beautiful especially content with dolby vision. The sound is extremely good for built in speakers and you are able to hear conversations clearly although I use a surround sound system, i did test the buit in speakers. For gaming is a plus too with vrr and 120hz using hdmi 2.1, so far i have tested xbox series x, laptop with 4080 and desktop with 4080 super and games never looked better. I do have a 65 sony A8h and a 55 a90j and this was an excellent addition to the family.

Very nice TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this tv. The picture is very sharp and the colors are great. I use the Audio Quest Vodka and Carbon HDMI cables for my TV & components. I recently purchased a new Denon AVR and the picture is more clear and vivid than with my older receiver. It looks great. Got a good price on it, also saw it was a $100 cheaper a few days later and was able to get the added $100 discount. A good buy for me. I hope to enjpoy it for as long as I did my previous Sony TV
