Sony 65” A80L
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tv looked spectacular in the store. Bought it on Black Friday. Heard so many good things about it. Ultimately though. I took it back. It just wasn’t going to be a good fit. Nothing wrong with the TV though.

Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I feel so far it has been a great tv,we had previously been fans of the Samsung Tv,which lasted us 11 yrs and still going,upgraded to a larger Tv. The sound on the Samsung has always been an issue. The Sony delivers overall great performance so far.

Extremely good but only in brightly lit scenes
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fabulous TV with a fatal flaw. It quite simply just doesn't get bright enough in dark HDR scenes. 80% of the time it looks marvelous until you get a very dark scene where you literally can see almost nothing. It's because the brightness rating on this TV is only about 750 nits which just isn't enough. I returned this to get an LG C4 (exact same price) which is got about 20% more brightness. It makes a massive difference. So this TV is an almost wonderful TV, the C4 is a wonderful TV. Also the speakers built into the TV screen, which many people have been impressed by, sounded absolutely awful to me.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had to have a friend set up our tv initially, and even he, who's quite a tekky, had to look up a few answers. Besides the fact I wish our Bravia had Roku, we are very happy so far with our purchase. The employees at Best Buy were the Best!!

Solid Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beware if mounting TV it will sit about 2 inches higher with how it is configured. Prefer Android OS and peocessing quality. Snapping OS. May wish for a little brighter but solid TV all around.

OLED is Overrated
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this tv basically after hearing so much about how much better the blacks and HDR contrast are with an OLED and the main difference I saw between this tv and my XBR-65X950H that it was replacing was brightness. Mainly the lack thereof on this OLED model. Going from the full LED array and being able to actually see the screen during the day with lights on in my house to whatever OLED is supposed to be was just a really expensive disappointment to be honest. The OLED model is so dim even when brightness is set to max that darker colors and blacks don’t differentiate or create detail. They just make you squint or miss them entirely. OLED may be great up close on a small screen but not on my larger, further away positioned tvs. For me this was a definite DOWNGRADE from my 950H.
