Complicated Without Reason.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony tv gives a great picture......absolutely beautiful. My complaint with tv is that there are dozens and dozens of options and settings that have to be made before you can watch tv. I was making calls to my cable company for help and then to Sony for help. It was like programming a computer. Sony has lost sight of what a tv is for. For instance, when we turn the tv on, the screen shows you a "home page" where you have a dozen or so choices of other places to go to. Nonsense! How about turn on the tv and get a tv channel? We had to find the option for that. That should be the default.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for your feedback, PaulG!
We are delighted to hear that you find the picture quality on your K-65XR8B to be great and absolutely beautiful—that is what we aim for!
We sincerely apologize for the initial frustration you experienced with the setup process and the number of options and settings. We understand that making the TV functional shouldn't feel like "programming a computer," and we regret that you had to contact both your cable company and our support team for help.
We appreciate your specific suggestion regarding the "Home" screen default. Your point that turning on the TV should lead directly to a TV channel is a valid one, and we understand why you feel that should be the default setting. We designed the current smart interface (Google TV) to offer a centralized hub for all streaming apps and inputs, but we recognize that for many customers, the traditional TV input is the priority.
We will certainly pass your detailed feedback to our product design teams. Thank you for bringing this crucial usability concern to our attention.

It's a Sony!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome picture and sound quality along with Android OS for a pleasant TV enjoyment. Paired with the Sony STR-AZ7000ES and the option for center lift is a big bonus for the center channel dialog. This is my third Sony Bravia TV, they are just great why I stay with the brand.

Posted .Hi VictorL,
We are honored to hear that you have chosen the Sony XR8B for your third BRAVIA TV and that you continue to stay with the brand! It is fantastic to know that the center channel feature is enhancing your dialogue clarity when paired with your STR-AZ7000ES. The exceptional picture quality you're enjoying is driven by the fact that over 8 million self-lit pixels are precisely controlled to produce pure black with high brightness, ensuring a truly premium viewing experience.
Thank you for being part of the Sony family.

Great TV, but dim
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most everything is truly great, but the brightness is too low for our room even with all the adjustments we can make. If you have a dimmer room this is an awesome TV, but if it is not dim then get something with better brightness.

We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the awesome picture quality and clarity of your K-65XR8B OLED TV! The goal of our XR Processor is to deliver that cinematic level of detail and realism, so your comment about the TV being highly recommend is truly rewarding.
It’s even better to hear that you paired it with a Sony Soundbar and now feel like you are being at the theater! When a compatible BRAVIA TV and Soundbar work together, they unlock features like Acoustic Center Sync to make the sound feel like it is coming directly from the screen's action, creating a truly immersive experience.
Thank you again for your strong recommendation and for choosing Sony for your home theater setup!
