Will not disappoint
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty great to pair with a PS5 and Sony Soundsystem. New updates like VRR are pretty cool, and Google TV is great. Very good OLED option. My only regret is not being able to get a bigger one. Surprisingly good sound for a TV as well, although you'll want a dedicated sound system.

Major Upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In 2005 we got our first flat-screen Sony LCD TV for around $3,000. It's still running strong after all of these years and provided countless hours of entertainment. We thought it was long overdue to upgrade to a new TV with a much larger screen - we no longer wanted to pause the movie to walk up close to the screen so that we could read the movie's email or text messages. After some research, we decided to get an OLED Smart TV, and of course, we stuck with Sony as it has served us and performed so well. The XR A80J received such high recommendations in reviews and when combined with its current pricepoint, it made our decision a no-brainer. Overall, we found the setup process and navigation of apps very easy, and the picture and sound quality are amazing - text and email reading are now a breeze - a huge upgrade!

I have officially jumped on the Sony train
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did quite a bit of research before deciding to pull the trigger on this TV, where OLED is a bit pricey I wanted to make sure it was worth spending the extra money. Let me just tell you, right out of the box this thing blew me away! Not only was the setup a breeze, but the sound that comes from this TV is also really good! The picture is incredibly detailed, the color rich and vibrant, the blacks are deep, I don't have a single bad thing to say about this product. Sony really knows how to make a quality TV. I debated over other brands like LG or even Samsung but I read a lot of reviews where people swear by Sony so I decided to give them a try. I will never go back! As long as Sony keeps making outstanding products like this, I see no reason to look anywhere else. If you're thinking about buying this TV, DO IT!!

Amazing Picture Quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this TV! Picture quality is great! Sound is good, but I always have it connected to my JBL sound bar anyways... I bought a Samsung QN90A to compare and keep the winner... I'm a Samsung guy, and eventhough it was brighter than this TV, but this A80J picture was noticeably better . IMAX mode on HBO is amazing. Samsung excels with game mode features and UI tools. I miss the small and sleek Samsung remote with solar rechargeable batteries, this big ugly remote has too many useless buttons. I only kept it for the he picture quality. QN90A looks washed out and bright scenes look overblown and less detailed.

Intro to Oled
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the product on sale its a no brainer. Gets u into OLED Technology which creates an unreal bright screen with deep blacks. This is on par if not better than the new A80K which was made to replace this TV. If you got a lot of windows u should not be getting this tv or any other oled. The glare is awful in bright settings. This is made for a movie theatre type of a setting. The sony proccesing chip is the best in its game. There is obv better OLED TVs, but they are much more. This is a great intro to oled tvs on a budget. Even though its still high priced its worth it for the oled technology.

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 Yes, I would still source an external system. The sound is better than TVs in the past, but it's not stellar. I recommend a sound bar or 5.1 system.

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.

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.

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.

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: QuestionWhat tv stand would you recommend to replace the one that comes with the TV? I am looking for one where I can place it on a existing table, not mounting it above. Thanks!
Asked by Captain.
- A:Answer The existing legs ARE adjustable (even though many don’t realize it) to 3 different widths with solid stability. With this flexibility, it can be placed on a smaller to larger width credenza based on your existing or new decor. The adjustment that allows the legs to be closest to each other blends almost to give the appearance there is zero space below the TV and table - especially if it is black.
