    Great Entry into OLED
    5 Stars
    Great Entry into OLED
    This is my first serious TV purchase and I wanted an upgrade over an 8yo smaller LED tv. Overall I am quite impressed out of the box with the quality of the A80K Bravia and although it’s not perfect it’s meeting my expectations and then some.Purchase and Delivery from Amazon:The unit was purchased while on sale during Amazon prime day. $1100 for the 55” model and that included delivery with unpacking service. I wouldn’t have used the unpacking service but it was free and I’m kinda glad I did. They arrived within the 3hr delivery window. They unboxed the tv in front of me and then set the tv up for me. As I had ordered a soundbar, that required adjusting the feet before installation. They 100% took care of this for me. The best part was that they took the packaging with them so I didn’t have to haul it to the curb. Definitely will recommend the service, especially if it’s free.Build Quality:The TV is exceptionally thin. It’s amazing how thin the panel is until you see it for yourself. Besides that, legs come out as single bars and I was worried about the stability of the freestanding tv. That won’t be an issue, the tv itself is rock solid on my table and won’t be tipping over anytime soon. Another point to mention is that the finish to the surface of the TV is a bit shiny, but not as much as some of the other TVs out there (LG C2 for example). This was a big purchase factor for me as i placed the TV in a bright room. It has some glare, but nothing too intrusive during the day. My only little complaint is that the front trim of the TV doesn’t really feel as artfully crafted as the rest (or even the LG C2). It’s kind of blah if you ask me, especially at the bottom. This is purely cosmetic, and it entirely goes away when you turn the tv on.Onscreen setup:Once plugged in to the wall, the delivery guys turned on the TV to make sure it was working. The onscreen prompts guide you through setup. You need to install the Google home app on your smart phone, which I already use for my nest thermostat. Very easy. After clicking and scrolling through a bunch of settings, you finally get to a screen where you can select the apps you want preinstalled. All the usuals are there with the exception of Max. Max had to be installed after the setup, but would be nice to have it included. The TV automatically identified my Xbox and correctly set the HDMI and picture scale. All in all it took about 15 minutes but it was pretty easy. There’s a good YouTube video from Sony and I highly recommend watching it.Internal TV OS and Smart Features:This is a smart TV and the internal operating system has optimized settings for Netflix and other apps. I wanted to like the OS, I really did, but it’s clunky and dark. I’ll use it, only because of the convenience, but I won’t be happy about it. I think my expectations were set pretty high by the Amazon Firestick and the Sony just doesn’t live up. Using my the microphone on the Firestick remote, I can simply state any title of media and it will show me every option to consume said title. Google won’t do that. It instead brings me to the Bravia Core system, if it has it, and wants me to pay Sony for the pleasure of that title, even if it’s available on Netflix. Not great! I will try a bit longer to make it work, but I will probably find my way back to a different streaming device all together.Picture Quality:This is where the TV really shines. It’s a true OLED and the blacks are so silky smooth. It’s a massive upgrade to anyone who hasn’t had an OLED before. The colors are also fantastic. The TV has built in calibration settings that are pretty easy to access. It’s good to be able to tweak these settings as needed. The brightness of the unit is the only room I can see for improvement, but I’m no TV snob just yet. Brightness is passable, but it’s not pop brightness as in some of the higher end models. All in all, I think it’s a massive upgrade of a TV for anyone who hasn’t bought a TV in the last five years.Sound Quality:I did buy a soundbar, but that didn’t arrive until a few hours after initial install so I did get a chance to drive the internal speakers quite a bit. I’m a big fan of the speakers here. I never used a soundbar before and I found the built in speaker system fully capable of immersive sound. The unit even has some directionality with sound so low grade dimensional sound is totally attainable. Plugging in a soundbar though, was very easy (literally not single setting touched on the TV) and completely changed my setup. I got a NIB Bose Soundbar 600 for $350 on eBay and I now feel like I have a truly immersive home theater. It’s nuts how much difference a basic soundbar can make, no base unit, no satellite speakers. It’s amazing.Overall:I marked this review a five star, but realistically, it’s closer to a 4.5. It’s a great entry tv to the OLED market and that’s why I got it. It’s not the top of the line, but it definitely brings that amazing picture quality to the masses. I’m really glad I went with the A80K and I’ll keep this review updated with info as the TV ages.

Besides that, legs come out as single bars and I was worried about the stability of the freestanding tv. That won’t be an issue, the tv itself is rock solid on my table and won’t be tipping over anytime soon. Another point to mention is that the finish to the surface of the TV is a bit shiny, but not as much as some of the other TVs out there (LG C2 for example). This was a big purchase factor for me as i placed the TV in a bright room. It has some glare, but nothing too intrusive during the day. My only little complaint is that the front trim of the TV doesn’t really feel as artfully crafted as the rest (or even the LG C2). It’s kind of blah if you ask me, especially at the bottom. This is purely cosmetic, and it entirely goes away when you turn the tv on.

    Onscreen setup:
    Once plugged in to the wall, the delivery guys turned on the TV to make sure it was working. The onscreen prompts guide you through setup. You need to install the Google home app on your smart phone, which I already use for my nest thermostat. Very easy. After clicking and scrolling through a bunch of settings, you finally get to a screen where you can select the apps you want preinstalled. All the usuals are there with the exception of Max. Max had to be installed after the setup, but would be nice to have it included. The TV automatically identified my Xbox and correctly set the HDMI and picture scale. All in all it took about 15 minutes but it was pretty easy. There’s a good YouTube video from Sony and I highly recommend watching it.

    Internal TV OS and Smart Features:
    This is a smart TV and the internal operating system has optimized settings for Netflix and other apps. I wanted to like the OS, I really did, but it’s clunky and dark. I’ll use it, only because of the convenience, but I won’t be happy about it. I think my expectations were set pretty high by the Amazon Firestick and the Sony just doesn’t live up. Using my the microphone on the Firestick remote, I can simply state any title of media and it will show me every option to consume said title. Google won’t do that. It instead brings me to the Bravia Core system, if it has it, and wants me to pay Sony for the pleasure of that title, even if it’s available on Netflix. Not great! I will try a bit longer to make it work, but I will probably find my way back to a different streaming device all together.

    Picture Quality:
    This is where the TV really shines. It’s a true OLED and the blacks are so silky smooth. It’s a massive upgrade to anyone who hasn’t had an OLED before. The colors are also fantastic. The TV has built in calibration settings that are pretty easy to access. It’s good to be able to tweak these settings as needed. The brightness of the unit is the only room I can see for improvement, but I’m no TV snob just yet. Brightness is passable, but it’s not pop brightness as in some of the higher end models. All in all, I think it’s a massive upgrade of a TV for anyone who hasn’t bought a TV in the last five years.

    Sound Quality:
    I did buy a soundbar, but that didn’t arrive until a few hours after initial install so I did get a chance to drive the internal speakers quite a bit. I’m a big fan of the speakers here. I never used a soundbar before and I found the built in speaker system fully capable of immersive sound. The unit even has some directionality with sound so low grade dimensional sound is totally attainable. Plugging in a soundbar though, was very easy (literally not single setting touched on the TV) and completely changed my setup. I got a NIB Bose Soundbar 600 for $350 on eBay and I now feel like I have a truly immersive home theater. It’s nuts how much difference a basic soundbar can make, no base unit, no satellite speakers. It’s amazing.

    Overall:
    I marked this review a five star, but realistically, it’s closer to a 4.5. It’s a great entry tv to the OLED market and that’s why I got it. It’s not the top of the line, but it definitely brings that amazing picture quality to the masses. I’m really glad I went with the A80K and I’ll keep this review updated with info as the TV ages.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive TV, especially for movies
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2023
    Updated to include the XR77A80K, as well as clarifications on settings.

    This XR65A80K I purchased was to replace an XR65X950H - the 950H is a very competent TV, and is still in use in a bedroom, but even as good as it is with its local dimming, the idea of zero blooming appealed to me.

    Fortunately, I have my oldest son's 55" LG C2 for a direct comparison, and while the C2 is slightly brighter and a better choice for next gen gaming, I felt the A80K was a better choice for my viewing habits, as most of my use is for movies, occasional YouTube browsing and every now and then, Nintendo Switch for retro games. After over a month to wring the Sony out on everything from 480 material ranging all the way up to 4K UHD Blu-rays, I can say that, as usual, Sony has done some awesome work here.

    Firstly, much has been made of OLED's shortcomings in moderately lit rooms - I'll make this point early, this panel is as capable as the Bravia 65X950H it replaced. Yes, specular highlights are brighter (1100+ nits for the 950 vs ~700 nits for the A80K), but those numbers only tell part of the story. With 8 million plus self lighting organic light emitting diodes, the blacks are perfect, and the brightness of those specular highlights are far more clearly defined. Yes, if you have a room flooded with sunlight, OLED isn't going to overcome that, but in a room moderately lit by sun, like mine, it's more than capable. Nighttime viewing is exceptional.

    The good:
    *Infinite contrast due to OLED technology. The inky blacks are only part of the story here, the clear distinction of a specular highlight against a far dimmer area create a far more enjoyable movie experience.
    *Out of the box color accuracy is amazing. First things first, on this and nearly every TV, Power Saving needs to be turned off. Picture Mode should be set to Custom, and in HDR, Gradation Preferred should be enabled for HDR10 and off for Dolby Vision. Only change I made to color itself was to slightly reduce the bias on the green sub pixels and slightly boost overall color saturation, the latter of which is something I've done on nearly every TV I've owned.
    *Processing. While I generally leave any additional video noise reduction and motion processing off, the few times I've felt the need to use any of them, they've been adjustable enough to add just what I wanted without the source material losing its sharpness or inducing soap opera effect.
    *Upscaling. As per usual, Sony's processing is second to none, although admittedly, LG has definitely closed the gap with the C2. Still, Sony has a visible edge here.
    *Sound. Although I use a Dolby Atmos/DTS X soundbar with surround speakers, the sound from the TV itself was surprisingly good. Since the panel is actually a speaker, the soundstage is pretty impressive - impressive enough to likely satisfy many people.
    *Operating temperature. I'd normally leave this out, but I honestly cannot believe how much cooler this thing runs when compared to an LED backlit LCD panel. I foresee this being a huge bonus this summer.
    *Lack of "black crushing": This is probably the biggest difference between the A80K and the C2 as far as picture quality. Details in dark scenes are clearly visible on the Sony, whereas they sometimes get lost on the C2.

    The "it could be better":
    *Brightness. This is really nit picking (no pun intended), but given that the A80K uses the same panel as the C2, yet is not quite as bright as somewhat of a mystery to me. To be honest, I can't see a definitive difference between the two, but it's worth mentioning.

    The Bad:
    *Only two HDMI 2.1 inputs, one of which is the same port used for a soundbar or receiver. To be fair, unless you're into next gen (PS5/Xbox X) gaming and have both consoles, this isn't going to be an issue, but a TV of this caliber should have four 2.1 inputs.
    *Potential for panel burn in. OLED technology has come a long way in the last decade, but the potential is still there for permanent burn in on individual pixels. If you watch a ton of TV (CNN with their bright white/red logo is a perfect example) that has a static logo, OLED probably shouldn't be on your want list, at least not yet.
    *Sustained bright picture will auto dim to protect the panel. While I've yet to experience this in anything other than intentionally trying to induce it, content with relatively bright areas over the majority of the panel, like ice hockey games, will activate auto dimming.
    *Dolby Vision. Please Sony, fix this. DV Dark is so out of whack that it's not even funny. While DV Bright can be made to look perfect as a DV Dark alternative, we deserve better. You did it on the A95K and LG's is great on their OLEDs, so we know it's possible.
    Remote: I get it, this isn't their flagship OLED, but it should come with the backlit remote.

    Movies and TV shows are this TV's strong points, and is particularly impressive with 4K High Dynamic Range/Dolby Vision content, both with hard copy and the built-in Google TV operating system.

    If sports (especially hockey) and/or the majority of your content has static logos, I'd probably stick with an LED backlit LCD TV.

    In closing, I did also consider the Sony A95K, the Samsung S95B and the LG C2 and G2. I passed on the Sony and Samsung because QD OLED is in its infancy, with a lot of long term questions about both burn in and longevity. The G2 lost out mostly because of the extra cost of a table top stand (wall mounting is not an option in my case). The A80K won over the C2 because of slightly better upscaling, the ability to pass DTS audio and the C2 having some problems with black crush.

    Since I first wrote this review, I've upgraded to the 77" version of the A80K, and everything still applies. I have changed a few things on settings that slipped my mind when I originally submitted the review.
