    Excellent picture and sound. Had a soundbar on my previous TV and hooked it up to this one but it sounds way better with its own speakers.

      Hi AshleyS, thank you for your review!

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying the picture and sound quality of your new TV. It's common for integrated speakers to outperform external soundbars in certain setups, especially when the TV is designed with advanced audio technology.

      If you have any questions or need assistance with maximizing your viewing experience, feel free to reach out!

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Beautiful screen and good sound out of the box. Setup is a little tricky but just follow the on screen prompts. Printed instructions suck, and app is just ok. Would be nice to have a fully printed manual for this price.

    This was my first OLED tv. I was always hesitant to spend the extra cash on an OLED model, but this has really met all my expectations, plus some. I love this Sony due to the ease of use, google TV being native to it. Sony really did well with this model.

    Great product, I chose this model over the LG OLeD. The only complaint is that the Amazon remote will not fully control some features in the Sony (that I can figure out) so you still have multiple remotes

      Hi MikeC, Thank you so much for your review! We're glad that you find your Sony BRAVIA 8 TV a great product. Please note that we are unable to provide support for remote controls designed by other manufacturers. Manufacturers may assign different code numbers in their universal remote controls to identify the Infrared (IR) signal of a Sony product. Thus, the code number used for operating a Sony product in one remote control may be different from that used by another.

      For information about programming a third-party remote control, contact the manufacturer of the remote control.

      Thank you for choosing Sony, and we hope you continue to enjoy your BRAVIA experience! -Maria Sony_US

    The glare was bad on this tv compared to my old LCD Sony. Picture was amazing but the brightness wasn’t as bright as the old on standard mode. After messing with all the setting, I feel like the voices and sound didn’t match up perfectly Old Sony Bravia was bought in 2016 so was expecting a major upgrade but just wasn’t it. Will stick with Sony but wasn’t a fan on this one

      Hi Austin,

      Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sony BRAVIA 8. The BRAVIA 8 has an outstanding reflection handling. This TV offers good viewing performance from the sides and exceptional picture quality. However, it sounds like the glare and brightness didn't meet your expectations, and there were some sync issues with the audio. It's understandable to expect a significant upgrade after almost a decade. Since you plan to stick with Sony, you might want to look into specific settings adjustments or possibly firmware updates that could address some of these concerns. To ensure optimal performance, we strongly recommend downloading and installing the latest software update for your TV.

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/k-65xr80/downloads

      Additionally, to achieve the best picture quality, we recommend not exposing the screen to direct illumination or sunlight and avoiding installing the TV in a room with reflective walls and floor materials. Using a brighter Picture Mode, like Vivid or Standard, will also help reduce reflection while watching TV or gaming. Only the following models features X-wide angle & X-anti reflection technologies: X93L, X95L, Z9K and BRAVIA 9 Google TV.

    Dark scene too dark in light room

    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.

      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.
