Great sound for having hearing issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the picture and the color is fantastic. My husband has always had issues with hearing voices because most shows have loud music or sounds playing. I was able to tweak the voices and he said he can hear the voices a lot better. Thank you Sony for making such great products. Now he can enjoy watching movies or tv shows again.

Posted .Hi MaryK,
It is great to hear that your new BRAVIA 8 is making game day even more exciting! There is nothing quite like watching basketball and football on a larger screen, where every play and detail comes to life.
With the BRAVIA 8, we’ve utilized our XR Processor to specifically handle fast-moving action, ensuring that the motion of the ball and the players remains fluid and blur-free. Combined with the deep blacks and vibrant contrast of OLED, you’re getting a stadium-like atmosphere right in your living room. We are so glad we could help elevate your sports viewing experience.
Thank you for making Sony part of your home entertainment.
Regards,
Dominick

Sony gained a new fan!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to go with a Sony instead of LG again and I have no regrets. I watched a lot of youtube videos on how to calibrate the perfect picture settings. The only thing i can't figure out is how to turn on the screen saver. I hate having to exit apps instead of just pausing them. Also, for everyone saying the tv keeps shutting off go into settings<system<power and energy. Then change the "auto shut-off" settings. One of them says Shut-off when watching, you want to change that to never.

OLED is the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.purchased this TV open box as it was drastically reduced in price. was missing pretty much everything. I wanted to like the TV coming from 8 years of using LG OLED TVs. Picture quality was great, but the screen just did not get as bright as I would have liked. The 2 best qualities of this Sony model are the built-in speakers and the Google TV OS. The Google TV OS is so much better than LG WebOS. But in the end, I returned it for a LG C4 for an extra $50 as there was something wrong with the Sony panel. It had vertical lines down the screen on a black screen in SDR. OLED TVs are pitch black when nothing is on the screen. Was not the case with this one.

Best Picture On The Market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing picture quality with the deepest blacks I’ve ever seen. The Sony menu is a little busy and somewhat disjointed. Sound quality is negligible since I’ve attached it to a dedicated surround sound system. Dolby vision produces a pretty amazing picture. Brightness is good and even brighter if you turn off the automatic ambient lighting match setting. Overall I’d buy this TV again. I’ve had a Sony ever since flat screens were invented and have never been disappointed. My last XBR that this is replacing lasted 17 years so I’m hoping to get the same quality from this one.

Dark scene too dark in light room
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good TV good picture however, on dark scenes with a dark wood floor you can’t see the grain (for example), It’s hard to pick up detail specially in a light room. Also, HDR content is very dark. You have to make adjustments to lighten it up and you can’t see anything.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, TIMR.
We are pleased you are enjoying the overall picture quality of your K-65XR80, but we are sorry to hear that you are struggling to see detail in dark scenes and that HDR content appears too dim, especially in your light room. This is certainly not the optimal experience.
This issue often relates to specific picture settings designed to handle varying room light. We recommend checking the following:
Light Sensor: Ensure this setting is enabled in the picture settings to automatically optimize screen brightness for your bright room.
Picture Mode: Switch to a Custom or Cinema mode, as these often provide a more balanced starting point for HDR.
Gamma/Black Level: Try increasing the Gamma setting slightly to lift shadow detail and make dark scenes clearer.
If these adjustments do not help reveal the detail you expect, please contact our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv
for specific guidance on optimizing your panel for your room environment.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and thank you for choosing Sony.

Great TV! I'd recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this TV for a little over a month now and am very happy with it. The picture quality is pretty amazing actually. Very clear and bright. All the colors are vivid and the darks are dark/nicely contrasted like they should be with the OLED UHD technology. I was a little unsure how it would do in our living room that can be pretty bright/sunny since some of the reviews that I read said the screen can be hard to see in brighter rooms but the picture is still great even when the room is bright from the sun. We're pretty happy!

Sony 65” TV Review

Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a long-time Samsung supporter, I was disappointed with the recent purchase of a Samsung 65” television. So, I returned it and bought a Sony 65” tv. What a difference! The picture and sound quality were significantly better. I especially like the option to amplify voice/dialogue, making it easier to hear.
