Glitchy software and annoying beeps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first Sony TV. The picture is awesome. There needs to be a way to adjust the loudness of the confirmation beep every time you move the cursor, it is extremely annoying. Also the Picture in Picture feature has glitched twice on me already by suddenly going to a blank screen on its own without doing anything or receiving any input from me. You have to restart the tv software to rectify the problem. This has happened 3 times in the 45 days I have owned it. I am recording the events with my phone to verify the problem.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took me a minute to decide between this and the A95L. The time of this review there wasn't anything avaliable beyond the 65". I was replacing a 75" samsung that tapped out, although I manage to fix the issue there still lingering issue... So doing all the research i could absorb, the A80L did not disappoint and the family loves it from gaming to just chilling watching a basketball game or movie. The family and I definitely love it... and dont get me wrong the A95L looks amazing just not for this family going from 75" to 65" with all that quality just didnt fill the void. A80L delivers @ 83 and more...sound hits different...it a plus

Posted .Thank you for sharing your fantastic review, Josen!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the XR-83A80L OLED is the best TV you've had in a while and that it's completely elevating your movie nights.
It is incredibly rewarding to know that the pure black levels and very high contrast—hallmarks of a Sony OLED—are making such a significant, positive difference in your viewing experience, especially when coming from another great brand. This phenomenal contrast, along with the rich and true-to-reality colors, is driven by our Cognitive Processor XR™ which is designed to reproduce content the way the human eye sees it, creating incredible depth and realism.
We're also glad to hear that the 83-inch size is the "Wow!" factor and the perfect fit for your living room.
Thank you again for choosing Sony to be the centerpiece of your home cinema and for being such a valued customer.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great TV. I’m a little sad I didn’t buy an even larger size, but I’m glad that the optics aren’t compromised. I didn’t want to go bigger on a tv and sacrifice quality, but this tv delivers both.

No User Manual
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great TV with a beautiful picture. My only gripe is that SONY doesn’t provide a decent user manual. There are a million options with no explanation of how and why to use them. I have purchased expensive electronics for 40 years and have always received an extensive manual. What’s up SONY?

Dune Has Never Looked Better
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.4K Blu-ray’s have never looked so good. I upgraded from a ~5 year old Sony X850 which was very decent at the time and still looks great, but the upgrade to this display is a major improvement across the board in image quality. Big plus if you have the ability to completely dim your room, glare could be an issue with a lot of windows in the room.

Posted .Hi Nicholas, Thank you for upgrading to your new Sony A80L! Choosing this TV will definitely be worth it! We're glad you love the exceptional 4K HDR picture quality this OLED TV delivers and you are having an enjoyable watching experience. Please note that this TV doesn't feature X-Anti Reflection. If you really want the best viewing experience, it's a good idea to turn off all lighting sources as Sony TVs look the best in the darkest environment possible. Light from windows and lamps may cause glare on the TV screen. Using a brighter Picture Mode, like Vivid or Standard, will also help reduce reflection while watching TV or gaming. Thank you so much for purchasing our 83" A80L and for trusting Sony! -Jess
