Sony XR55A80L 55" A80L 4K HDR OLED Television with Lighting Kit

The picture is stellar and the sound is really good as well. I find the menus and remote to be intuitive and easy to use. I like Sony TV's.

So here it is 2024 and I decided to try this new technology called OLED. I have always been an LG person because of the value proposition, but I figured that the processor and other internals needed to be the best quality. After looking at mini LED and other iterations I said why not spend the extra money. So far no problems after one month of ownership. Use for watching streaming TV and movies, no gaming.

I spent months reviewing TVs for my 1st OLED purchase. Although not the most expensive TV on the market, it was still a major purchase for me. I chose the Sony because of its outstanding reputation and felt it had better features than the LG or Samsung. Watching TV is a whole new level of enjoyment now !! The colors are vibrant and the acoustic screen is amazing. The picture detailing and crispness in the OLED are undeniable. I definitely recommend this TV for your first reasonably priced OLED. I previously owned all TCL QLED TVs which are great LED products but nothing compares to the OLED picture.

I may not be the best to advise on Sony high end TVs because I am totally in love with all my Sony products. Being in the older generation, the first thing to love is the remote is the simplest on the market. Sleek with a minimum of buttons makes it the best out there. Picture quality is ummatched. As with all new TVs built in speakers are ok for the young generation, but for those hard of hearing the new sound bars make listening much more enjoyable.

This is an excellent TV. Picture and sound is superb, Replaced my 12 year old Bravia which was still working, My friend has it and loves the old one. I still feel Sony needs to improve there setup menu and make it easier to make adjustments. I tried to set up HDTV antenna for Local channels and cable box at same time but it seems you can only one run one configuration or the other. I have never had a problem with a SONY Tv I have owned.

Had researched two other brands and salesman convinced me to get the Sony. Happy with this purchase. The Sony remote does not have channel selection numbers - an inconvenience. My son-in-law was able to program the remote from my cable provider and this works much better. He has a degree in computer science - I'm would not have been able to do the programming without assistance.

The OLED panel is breath taking. The integrated/behind the screen sound is amazing - and it allowed me to get rid of my sound bar. But TV channel TUNING it's VERY SLOW. I move up and down fast to go from 10.1 to 6.1. The TV shows it's wallpaper while it tired to tune in the channel and decrypt the stream. Up pops an error "No signal, it antennae not connected it program but available." And then the channel shows up. It's really about 20 seconds. I replaced an LG from 2016, and it had no issues with channels coming up within a second. Nothing else changed but this TV is a Google Android TV. The remote DOES NOT HAVE NUMBER BUTTONS - just up and down for channel selection. I guess there is a likely App, I'll have to look into. For my PlayStation 5 and now 5 Pro, the eARC HDMI unit immediately talks to the PlayStation and the PlayStation dynamically adjusts the TV for whatever game it's playing. Variable Refresh Rate. Awesome.

Well, we certainly had our work cut out for us when we got this TV set. It's a very nice one the color is beautiful, but it was some programming that we had to do and just getting everything to go the way we wanted. It was no trial and error but we got it. There may be even more stuff this set can do but we haven't discovered it yet.

I bought this about a month ago & must say that I am somewhat disappointed. The overall picture is not much better than less expensive TV brands that I have owned for many years. I am especially having difficulty with the fine tuning of color, brightness & picture size.

The picture is great, as advertised. Amazing blacks and color depth. However, I have had to reboot the TV 3 times in the first 2 weeks due to the video card or GPU (must be) malfunctioning. The menu system works fine, but when I play a video, there is only a few white leds lit up along one edge. A reboot takes care of it but not impressed. It's my 3rd Sony TV that has wonky software and needs rebooting.
