Sony 55 Inch BRAVIA 8 OLED 4K HDR Smart Google TV (K-55XR80)

I’ve been using this Sony 65-inch OLED for a few weeks now, and honestly, it exceeded my expectations in every way. The picture quality is absolutely breathtaking — deep blacks, bright highlights, and incredibly natural colors that make movies and games look lifelike. Dolby Vision really makes a difference, especially when streaming on Netflix or Disney+. The motion handling is super smooth, and even fast-action scenes look crisp without any blur. The sound quality is surprisingly good for built-in speakers, clear enough that I don’t even need an external soundbar most of the time. The Google TV interface is fast and easy to use, and the voice control works flawlessly. Setup was simple and took less than 10 minutes. The design is sleek and elegant — it looks amazing in my living room. Overall, this TV delivers a true premium experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants the best OLED quality and smart features in one package. Totally worth every penny! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The logic board died after just a year of very mild use, leaving the TV completely useless without a $700 replacement piece right after warranty expires. The problem is frequent among other online users and Sony acts like nothing is wrong. Before dying, the TV was a completely mediocre piece of tech: slow interface, the dumbest "smart" features imaginable, a terrible remote with a dozen useless buttons that serve only as ads for streaming services, and ridiculously riddled with ads within the software as well. I wish I could still use this as just a screen to plug an HDMI cord into, but this pile of garbage can't even manage that without the pricy replacement part. I remember when tech used to last - I don't think we replaced our TV a single time throughout my childhood. Look elsewhere for your TV needs if you know when what's good for you.

Excellent Oled with fantastic blacks. Very well built and seems to be very high quality. The Sound quality is better than most other tv's. There are a myriad of settings to get used to like you can adjust each hdmi input in many ways. I started with vivid picture mode and dialed down brightness, contrast, color and temperature etc. I made many little adjustments over several weeks and now am very happy. Also, in the beginning there seemed to be weird issues with over the air broadcasts where Atsc 3.0 and the old Atsc 2.0 had different brightness (Nbc NX La and Ktla Hd was darker) but these issues disappeared after a few days. I have Sling tv and the build in Google app has much better picture quality than my 4k Roku stick. The only minor issue I have seen is the tv does not remember the favorites setting for over the air broadcasts but reverts to all channels when turned off.

I don’t know what I was thinking. It makes no difference that I can see the Sony picture is beautiful when it takes literally hours upon hours to set it up and it is a fight every single step of the way. Google is the worst tv interface on .. was going to say the planet, but let’s go with Universe. I will likely be sending a gorgeous tv back because it is impossible to setup. Shame on Sony for being lazy and not developing something with the quality their hardware has. I own an LG and a Samsung tv in other parts of the house and they were both a breeze to setup. Update: changed from 1 star to 4. I persevered in the fight with Google TV and finally got it fully configured. I stand by everything I initially said about the setup process, but want to now give a review of the Bravia 8, especially as it compares to my Samsung and LG tv’s. There is absolutely no comparison when it comes to picture quality. Especially regarding color accuracy and overall depth. The Sony is king by a huge margin. I run the Sony in professional mode and it is stunning. There is almost an extra sharpness brought about by such an accurate picture. We watch allot of Prime video content and the curated video settings are amazing. Anything other than the vivid setting on the Samsung or LG is washed out and disappointing. Now that it is setup it is easy to use and I recommend it. The Bravia app for my phone is the best app remote control I have ever used. In fact I rarely reach for the tv remote and just use my phone.

If you purchase this (K-65XR80) Bravia 8 tv... YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY MISTAKES!!! We're still using the earlier models of Sony LED and LCD Bravia sets in our house and one of the 65" LCD sets lost it's backlighting. This is our first OLED set and we never knew what we had been missing all this time! The difference in details and colors, it's like comparing a digital signal to analog signal ALL OVER AGAIN!!! All our sets are on the walls, If you're a wall hanger like us, just know this 65" only weighs 42lbs, wife and I hung it and we're both 66yrs old, the old 65"LCD we replaced was much heavier and not so easy to get down off the wall. Some reviews said that this set is hard to get set up in settings, gets extremely hot, powers off...blah, blah.... we breezed through settings very easily and after that we watched 3 movies back to back and yes it got a little warm, but that's to be expected with OLED technology... same as your phone when you've been using it for a long time. We do not have any complaints about this set and the only difficulty is going to another room to watch one of the other Bravia LED or LCD sets, they are not so great anymore. We will only be buying OLED from now on! After months now of watching this, no regrets, just happy faces. Only advice is this set is for darker rooms a theater not well lit up, if your room is always bright then this set may not be for you.

Just got this tv. Wow, just wow. I watched A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, episode four, “Seven” which consisted almost entirely of dark, candlelight scenes and it was stunning. The foggy environment of the later part of the show was a revelation. It does need a dark environment. This is not a TV for a bright room, but if you can darken your room, you won’t be disappointed. I watched using an Apple TV with 4k Dolby Vision. 65”

The picture quality was AWESOME. The google operating system is crap. Sound intermittently drops out, when using Netflix or other apps. The Cable set top box control was completely random and intermittent. Google is used for all,of the control of this TV, EVERYTHING, picture adjustments, sound everything. Add in that you have to agree to at least 5 privacy releases for google to collect and sell your data. I spent 30 years as an equipment start up application engineer, I don’t give up on making systems work properly. If you look into forums you will see the sound drop out is a widespread problem. I am VERY disappointed that Sony made the decision to use google for the total operating system of this TV. If it had the option to just operate as a dumb monitor I would have been happy with that, I can easily control apps via a fire stick. I retuned this TV and purchases an LG C4 series. The second issue was the return of the TV, we purchased the premium delivery that included unboxing and hauling away the box. Without a box the return was an absolute nightmare. There is a HUGE DISCONNECT when trying to deal with Amazon heavy package services. I spent HOURS on the phone and chat trying to get the TV returned since we didn’t have a box. After all of that when they did pick it up, they set the BARE TV on an aluminum hand dolly and literally BOUNCED it across the driveway to the road. I’m sure it was unsellable when they received it at warehouse.

My first oled TV and it's amazing I haven't had a single issue with it and it's so bight and the remote is so responsive and it looks amazing and was extremely easy to setup just connect to WiFi and your good

Es un salto de imagen y audio impresionante respecto con la Sony XBR55X850D, es la primer TV OLED que tengo, excelente compra que hice, vale cada peso invertido en esta TV. Todo luce más detallado y con más color y brillo en todos los videojuegos. Hablando ya de la TV, Muy buena conexión a internet y muy fácil configuración al inicio, él sistema operativo Google TV es muy bueno y muy simple ya que te sale las recomendaciones de todo lo que ves en YouTube o películas en Amazon prime Netflix, Max, ehc

Great TV. Sound quality is excellent. Image is crystal clear. Contrast is intense. Setup was intuitive and easy. Only possible negative could be the reflective aspect of the screen. If the room has a lot of ambient light, you could find that the reflections obscure the picture, but for me, with our set up, it wasn’t an issue.

Great tv. Has some options for ps5 that are neat but not necessary to enjoy either. Nice crisp picture, easy setup and menu layout. Sony made yet another great tv. I don’t like that the hired delivery guys didn’t take the time or care to secure the loads in the back of their truck. When they opened the door there was a pile of boxes that had quite obviously fallen over during transit with my $2000 tv on its side (the same position it says on the box to not transport it in) at the bottom with several boxes on top of it. Really?? That’s the best delivery option I get? If this were to happen again I would accept delivery. Based on that, I don’t think I will trust to buy anymore expensive, delicate electronics this way ever again.

Jamás había tenido una pantalla oled, es vdad lo que dicen, es la mejor forma de ver películas, la imagen que subí no le hace justicia, llevo una semana con ella y no he dejado de ver pelis o jugar PS5, la cuídare como se debe, vale cads peso gastado 🙌🏻

I bought the 65” Bravia 8 Google TV and enjoyed the picture and sound through my Sonos ARC surround for 10 months. The Sony stopped working and judging by the codes displaying on the unit it is a dead power supply. The TV is under warranty and I have logged a case number with Sony…which was a very frustrating call. They said a technician would call me in 2 business days and I am well past that now. I’m not impressed considering the cost of this TV and my expectations for Sony quality. Amazon just refers you to Sony for warranty and service so they’re no help. I’m not impressed! Update - A technician finally made contact to notify me that he is waiting on parts. Almost 2 weeks later and the TV still sits waiting on repairs. Update - the part to fix my tv arrived at a local GTA warehouse 10 days ago and cannot be found now. Another part has to be ordered so I continue to wait. I had to call Sony support and the 3rd party service tech to get this info or I’d still be waiting. So far not impressed!
