amazing movie watching tv
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.just picked up the new a80j this past oled tv this past monday from best buy and love it. i have an lg cx oled that i moved to my bedroom after purchasing this tv. lg looks good watching 4k content but this sony bravia xr a80j oled looks amazing. watching 4k content like movies in cinema mode is way better on the a80j as i have to turn vivid mode on the lg to get anything close to what i get on the bravia xr cinema mode. plus i love the imax enhanced mode you get for watching movies as you can find movies in imax 4k in bravia core which is a streaming site just for sony xr tvs that has a wide selection of 4k and 4k imax movies

|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I have owned Samsung and Hisence until now. When my Hisence broke in a major move I started reading up on Qled and Oled, turns out Oled tops #1 in color. Enjoying the ease of moving around learning how to have the best quality picture and sound. I owned a Sony in the 80's that lasted over 35 years. I would recommend this product.

Nothing but THE BEST!
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This is hands down the best picture quality I’ve ever seen. Wish I could have held out until Black Friday to get a deal for the 65 inch, but tv reviewers and enthusiasts are warning us that prices are gonna go up due to shortages when the item is in very high demand so I took my chance. I also wish I could have gotten a better discount for this as an open box purchase because the very next day the price for a new one went on sale too close to my purchase price. I bought the LG B9 last year to get a feel for OLED, I love the technology, once I saw reviews saying that Sony OLED’s provide a better picture quality I did my research and decided to wait on the Sony 2021 models. I am absolutely blown away. Could not be any happier. This one is for MOVIE LOVERS! HDR looks amazing. Highly recommend!

Amazing picture.
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I bought this solely for watching movies/shows, not playing video games. Superb picture and color accuracy right out of the box. I think this represents a better value than the a90j (which is an amazing set, but i couldn’t justify the difference in price). I purchased on sale for 1699 and couldn’t be happier with my decision.

Q: QuestionWe just switched to this Sony TV from a 2019 LG OLED. The Sony is not nearly as bright or colorful as our LG was. Is there something I can tweak in the settings to improve the picture?
Asked by KTL.
- A:Answer It sounds like you would want to change your picture settings to "Vivid". That will give you the picture where colors will pop out the most if that is indeed the picture quality that you desire. There are also many YouTube color calibration videos for the different kinds of OLED TVs. Depending on your taste, I'm confident you can customize your picture quality to you liking with this premium Sony Bravia OLED TV.
Answered by GoldLeader
Q: QuestionMy current Sony is connected to a high end Samsung sound bar. But I’ve read that the audio on these new Sonys is extremely good. Would most find it acceptable to use the native speaker system or would an external system still be recommended?
Asked by JohnP.
- A:Answer Hi JohnP, Hi JohnP, thanks for your inquiry. The sound from the built-in speaker is already good enough. With Acoustic Surface Audio+, the screen is the speaker. This advanced screen-speaker technology microscopically vibrates the TV panel to produce sound from the entire screen which creates acoustics that is perfectly in sync with the picture. With sound and picture in perfect harmony, you'll hear more realistic sound and exceptionally clear dialog. Built-in subwoofers provide powerful bass for immersive cinematic sound. You can also add a soundbar or an external system depending on your preference. I hope this helps. Regards, Erin

Q: QuestionI am using the Sony A80J for TV (movies) and for a computer monitor (M1 Mac Mini). There are several ways to connect the M1 Mac Mini to the Sony. Can you suggest the best way to connect, which Sony port and settings for fastest response, 4K and 120 FPS?
Asked by Calo.
- A:Answer Hi Calo, Thank you so much for your inquiry. If your M1 Mac Mini supports 4K 120Hz, we recommend connecting it to the HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 input of the TV. Then make sure that you are using Ultra High-Speed HDMI™ Cable that supports 48 Gbps to display 4K 120 Hz. Once connected, follow the steps below: • Go to Settings → Watching TV → External inputs → HDMI signal format. • Select the input the device is connected to (either HDMI 3 or HDMI 4) and then change the setting to Enhanced format. For more information, please refer to the link below: https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/iusltn1/v1/en-003/04-09_02.html Should you need more assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details so we can better assist you.

Q: QuestionMy last Sony I bought in 2008 emitted a lot of heat. Does this model have the same problem?
Asked by Dlovely.

Answered by Kerry
Q: QuestionDoes this tv have a way to use my Sony Headphones for YouTube Music & DVD Concerts?
Asked by YUMMIE2019.
- A:Answer Hi Yummie19, thanks for your inquiry. Yes. You can use your headphones to listen to YouTube Music & DVD Concerts. You can connect to the headphone jack (supports a 3-pole stereo mini-jack only) or via Bluetooth to listen to sound from the TV. I hope this helps. Erin

Q: QuestionWe are planning to mount this over our fireplace and view from our couch which is about 16-18 feet away. It seems far, but we can see our 10 year old tv just fine. Is the viewing distance/angle okay for this new TV?
Asked by JamesG.
- A:Answer 16 to 18 feet is a bit far away for a 55". I would upgrade to at least a 65" for that distance. It's recommended the distance be 3 times the size of the screen.
Answered by Lesley
Q: QuestionWhen the stand for this TV is in "soundbar" mode, what is the amount of clearance underneath the TV? That is, how tall can my soundbar be to fit underneath the TV when it is in soundbar mode? I have a Sonos Playbase that is 2.3" tall. Will it fit?
Asked by dscott1000.
- A:Answer Hi dscott1000, thank you for your inquiry. The TV stand in soundbar position measures 40 7/8 inches and a height difference of 2 7/8 inches. I hope this helps. Regards, Erin

Q: QuestionI had Sony X850D and it had a picture off option in the remote control, i got the Sony A80j Tv, and I noticed that there is no Picture off option in the remote control on this one that’s why I wonder if I can find it somewhere, cause I use it on YouTub
Asked by Phantom.
- A:Answer Hi Phantom, thanks for your inquiry. The Picture Off is available on the Setting menu. If you press the Quick Settings button (gear icon below the DVR button) on the remote control, you can quickly access features such as Picture mode, Sleep timer, and Picture Off on the current screen.
