This tv is the best in every category. The voice control remote is easy to use. Just press the buttons on the remote to quickly learn all the functions. No problem setting up google tv. Lots of great free streaming content. So many great things to say. The speakers are loud and clear. The provided tv stand s are strong and sturdy. Not plastic. The picture is the best I’ve ever seen on any tv.

I have been waiting for some time to buy an OLED, I had $2000 budget and my final product choices were this Sony, An LGC2, or the Samsung S95b. All were viewed at the the stores selling them. I will be straight up with you, I chose the Sony due to the fact, that you can dial in one hell of a picture without a professional calibration. I skipped the L.G. which is a tad brighter, because I do not game at all. I skipped the Samsung because the tech is too new and I purchase a television every 3 years or so. This will give all of the makers who will be selling the new QD oleds ( which will be everyone) to get it right. If you can afford more for the A90k or A90J, I would definitely say to go for it. This television is worth every bit of 1700 bucks. Please check out Quantum, HDTV, Classy Tech, Rtings, or Fomo on their youtube channels to get their info and picture mode calibrations. If you listen to them you will be richly rewarded. I will be doing a follow up review after I have lived with this set for at least a month. If you are a gamer, buy the L.G. If you are into the hype of the Samsung being the best you can buy right now (it is fantastic) but are afraid of the firmware updates and bent screen problems, like me, buy the A80k or the A90k and live with the best picture, ease of use and a beautifully easy to set up interface for picture modes to combat the low bit and frame rates that occur if you watch mainly movies and streaming apps. I went from a mini led to this, my first oled, it was well worth the wait. 4k movies and blurays look fantastic, and if you plan to use this television as a computer screen, don't buy it. Static chyrons and info banners and logos can cause burn-in. Otherwise I would not worry about burn in. More to come.....

Wow, what can I say, it definitely earns the 'Master' title and although not a huge leap in regards to OLED technology, there’s an important key leap for a better overall visual experience, namely the brightness. It's very much on par with LED with specular highlights that now punch through and with the advantage of pure black of OLED, we're onto a new era of visual experience technology. An increase in colour volume can most definitely be seen with surprisingly positive results in older TV shows all without it looking oversaturated, being down to Sony's amazing processing algorithms and decades of experience in TV/Film production and broadcasting; Sony being the only electronics company to be involved on both sides. 10 out of 10.

Short and sweet, everything works as expected and advertised. The picture quality is superb, and I haven't felt the need to do a lot of tweaking, much less calibration, to get it there (as I have in the past on other TV's). The overall look of the TV is very minimalistic, as the edge of the screen and the stand nearly disappear. Speaking of the stand, it's very stable while being low profile, and the multiple installation methods to modify the height, while I haven't needed them, are a useful feature that I'm sure many will appreciate. I can't speak to the internal speakers as I don't use them, but I can say the arc features work very well and very seamlessly. I can just turn on the Apple TV, and the TV and reciever both turn on and move to their correct inputs. Likewise, I can turn on the TV, and the same adjustments are made. I find I seldom need to adjust the TV or receiver. Just turn on the source and go. I've had issues with other TV's where arc either didn't do all I needed or at times, was fighting what I was trying to do. None of that with this TV. It does what you expect and need from arc pretty flawlessly.
Now for all of the look and features, this TV is all about the picture, and it is awesome! I'm sure a tester could find some tiny flaw somewhere, but as a normal user with pretty big expectations, it delivers. I think you'd have to be looking for something to ding this TV on when it comes to picture quality, and even then, you'd probably need a pointer in the right direction to find it still. I'm sure there are likes and dislikes to be had on the smart tv features and the OS, but it's the picture that matters the most, and on that count, this Sony truly delivers! Oh, and set your Apple TV to use Dolby Vision and..... just wow!
If you wonder about the true blacks of OLED, it's mostly what you don't notice that is the real story. None of the blooming or banding in dark scenes. Every once in a while, the depth of the black will pop out and make you notice, but most of the time, it's more subtle and, like everything with the picture quality on this TV, just "right". Nothing is drawing your attention so much as it all just looks natural and right, so your brain just moves on without notice.
I can't say this is the best "deal" for a TV, or even for an OLED (I haven't tried them all to say the least). What I can say is the picture is spectacular, and I don't think you'll be at all disappointed.

Bought this TV to upgrade my 2011 model Sony Bravia flatscreen. Huge upgrade in image quality and features! I went back and forth between the cheaper LED panel and this OLED display since I did not want to spend a ton on QLED or mini LED screens and catching this one on sale made the decision much easier. The panel is bright enough to combat some glare and the picture quality is so much better than my old Bravia. I hope it holds up and lasts as long as my last Sony TV. Great experience so far!

Plus, I had to buy a faster external usb 1000 gig network adapter to speed up the connections to match my TP-Link 5400 6e router much faster accessing Netflix and Prime. Still getting familiar with the settings. Not sure if I see the big color differences than my 65 inch. Not as bright in the dark than expected.

LIKES: The center channel from the screen when using the A3000 sound bar makes dialog easier to hear. The picture quality, color and brightness is vivid.
Dislikes: The Google implementation. The power button is working turn the TV off now.
Very difficult to find and use apps that are not native to the TV. I haven't found a way to better organize apps. We have a Roku TV that is much easier intuitive to use.
Disliked the Sony help. the manual that comes with the TV doesn't show much.
The box the TV came with was damaged. There is a small blemish on the top frame where it looks like it may have been dropped. The TV works fine, but concerned with long term reliability of the screen.

I've had a 42" Panasonic Plasma since 2010 and this Bravia replaced it in the living room. The Bravia looks nice and the system UI is really quick but the Plasma honestly looks better when it comes to the color department and overall picture. Granted, the Plasma can only do 1080p but our internet isn't the fastest so it's not like I'll be streaming 4k at any point, I'll have to get physical media for that. The Bravia is really nice to take advantage of my PS5 though, having VRR, HDR, and 4k resolution makes games look great. Overall, if you have an old LCD TV or something like that, OLED will probably look amazing. If you're coming from a Plasma though, you honestly might be disappointed. Still a great TV though, I don't regret buying the Bravia.

I'm assuming this happened in transit and it doesn't affect the display image at all. It's still upsetting though for the price of the TV. The top right side has a small ripple in the frame and a dimple in the screen. Let me tell you when we realized this it gave us a panic. We don't want to return it and will de with the minor damage. I'm waiting to hear back from customer service to see if they offer any solutions. Other than that the TV is amazing. The smart features respond to the remote quickly and they're many apps to use. I am excited to start watching some movies and play our games on this TV. I will update when i hear back from support.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Picture, Poor Software
Reviewed in the United States ???? on July 28, 2022
Size: 77Style: TV OnlyVerified Purchase
The picture quality is excelent; definitly hard to beat oled. I watched the original 1973 Westworld movie and the TV made it look great (too bad it couldn't improve plot). I've had problems with the OS where apps stop working requiring some combination of deleting the app data and/or restarting the TV; very frustrating. This has already happened a few times in less than a week. Roku TVs have been much more reliable. Hopefully a future OTA firmware update will help. I may just install a Roku if problems continue; sorry Sony/Google.
Update 8-1-2022: Dropping to 4? due to buggy OS. Wired network stopped working today... restarted TV and it's working again. Basicaly theres been something every few days that requires the TV to be restarted via the system menu to fix.
Update 8-19-2022: Things are better after last firmware update. Leaving at 4? because the OS should be easier to use and I don't have a lot of confidence in it not having another bug in a later update. At least I'm still happy with the picture.
Update 9-30-2022: TV has only required one restart to fix network issue. It's hard wired so I'm blaming the OS; everything else in the house was working. The TV interface continues to disappoint due to the number of clicks to do anything. I'm also getting tired of seeing all of recomended shows to watch served up from google. Plugging in a Roku is still an option.
Tip 11-3-2022: Hold down the power button to reboot.

I've used LG OLED TVs for years, but decided to give this TV a shot since it uses Google TV instead of LG's jank WebOS, and therefore has many more apps for streaming services I use. The picture quality is definitely great. I like that it acts as a Chromecast without having to plug in an actual Chromecast device. However, there are some really annoying problems that nearly outweigh it's greatness.
1. The smart TV menus are often slow/laggy. It's pretty egregious shortly after startup (~2 second response time to button presses on the remote), but beyond that there are occasional hitches constantly and I never know if it just didn't read a button press or if it's just lagging. It feels like using a really old PC laden with viruses or something. I suspect it's a combination of the processor being underpowered and the software being poorly optimized.
2. It has difficulty doing 4k@120hz with my PC (NVIDIA 3090Ti). Usually it's fine, but sometimes when Windows starts up the screen just goes black with occasional flickers of signal. Unplugging+replugging the HDMI cable fixes it, but it's really annoying that I have to do this every time I turn on my PC. Also, when I shut the PC off, the TV actually crashes+restrarts. This makes me certain it's a problem with Sony's firmware rather than NVIDIA's drivers.
3. After only ~4 months of moderate usage, a large swath of pixels on the left side of the screen is becoming slightly darker/discolored. It's mostly only noticeable when the screen is a solid color that is either very bright or very dark, but it's definitely noticeable, and I'm worried it will get worse over time.
These issues really put a damper on what is otherwise a really nice OLED Google TV. It's not the worst TV I've had by far, and future software updates and a panel replacement (haven't checked if it's under warranty) may solve some of these issues. But until then, the best I can give it is a "meh".

Overall, this is is a great tv. However, it is important to keep in mind that it is not particular bright tv. In well-lighted room you may find yourself struggling to change the picture settings to boost its brightness levels. There’s better OLED alternatives if you want to keep those deep blacks without sacrificing the TV’s brightness levels (e.g., Samsung S95B).

Great picture and good sound, which is why I gave it 3 stars. But the store where I bought it failed to tell me this is a Google TV. When their delivery service set the TV up, I saw there was an option for Google TV. I told them to skip that, as I really did not want Google on my TV. It turns out that, while a few streaming services are native on this TV, you have to login to Google to get Hulu (as well as others). After I did that, all the services were Google apps and I couldn't get back to the original appearance without logging out of Google and losing Hulu. I try to minimize Google's presence in my life as much as I can (without going to Apple). So this is a real show-stopper for me. I'll be returning it and swapping it for the LG. If you love Google, then buy it. Otherwise, caveat emptor.

I was on the fence between the 77 inch Sony A80k and the 77 inch LG C2 coming from a 2018 LG C8. I decided to go for the Sony and based on all of the reviews about how the Sony has the best processing and best picture quality It was a no brainer. I even owned a Sony A1E oled (2017 model) and that tv was great I ended up giving it to my dad a few years ago.
With the Sony A80K I was expecting an upgraded version of the Sony A1E oled being this was a newer model Oled with a better processor but boy I was very disappointed I am not sure what it was but the picture seemed washed out and the ABL was very annoying it would dim even from watching regular SDR content and the picture quality was not good even after playing with the settings for a week. The Sony was not as bright either.
I know it may be a myth but I personally feel like TVs that have the glossy screen show a much better picture compared to tvs with semi gloss screen this tv has a semi gloss screen. I tried very hard to force myself to enjoy this tv but there was nothing about it that made me go wow I like this tv to where I was comfortable with my $2,900 investment.
Another issue is with the way the HDMI ports are angled if you plan on using all 4 hdmi ports at once the Amazon 4K firestick will not fit because for some reason Sony made the back of the tv thicker. You will have to remove maybe 2 hdmi ports in order to make room for the 4K firestick to fit.
In the end I did return this tv for the C2 and I am in love with my C2 is has everything I could ever ask for in a tv and it is a night and day difference compared to the Sony.
I am not bias towards any brands I enjoy all tech and have owned all TVs in the past from lg to Sony to Samsung and I have owned oled since 2016 aside from my Samsung Neo QLED tv that I purchased last year.

Picture feel and literally looks like a LED TV. Cheap and more cheap plus some extra cheap. But still double the cost x 4. Way too bright many things are overexposed in highlights. Oddly. LED/LCD much? Picture quality is below premium look and feel. C2 quality, may not be sharper than Sony, but 100% better picture quality, colors, tone, gaming mode, and glossy screen. However LG oled’s have a defect. My C2 has color banding issues. Left side has a red band hence my switch. However, A80K is really nothing great. 77inch isn’t glossy picture settings are below par. It’s either way too bright or way too dark. Reviews are not accurate at all. Sony a80k is really bright! Put peak on high! Color tones on LG 100% better. Better premium. Sony is definitely not trying too much anymore. Gotta get that quick buck. And LG has too many quality control issues. No clear brand or win anymore. Samsung? That’s funny. So which brand to pick???? If you have a TV you like already just stick with it. It’s just a mix and all of them are not great in simple things like movies or gaming. They have managed to make OLED tvs cheap and problematic now like color banding, quality control issues. All which WE moved away from by allegedly buying an OLED.

Simple as this. I love the picture of the tv, best I have ever seen. Games are almost 3d when played at night on ps5... BUT. I am an audiophile that has dumped 20k in my home theatre. My receiver is not the current HDMI standard as ps5 or t.v. so I had to hook the ps5 up to tv 1st via hdmi 4 then using tvs earc port to send sound to my receiver via earc. Here is where the problems start every time I launch or close an application my receivers input changes to an HDMI port that is not in use... Than i have to change back to the designated ps5 input.. If if I touch tv remote to change tv setting, again receiver input changes to a not fin use hdmi port.. My receiver has not autochange input functionality and had never done this before. If I remove earc the problem stops. Also when i turn on my ps4pro with connected psvr. It changes and creates an input on receiver name named psvr, i then again have to change back to proper input on my receiver to get sound which is labeled pspro... I have talked to level 2 techs at yamaha and they have been great. The issue is not the receiver it is a bravia sync issue... When i call sony they just say not there issue... When you drop this much money on a tv and have the technical know how that is a BS answer based on audio bugs and Sony customer service I give the tv 2 stars and will purchase an LG next time

EDIT: It's been two months and the tv has begun freezing. I have to unplug it to hard restart. Very disappointed - total waste of a lot of money. Don't do it.
I aspired to get this particular television for years. Literally years. It's widely known to be the best television available in a normal marketplace, but it's so expensive. I finally treated myself, and here I am a few months later unsure if it was worth it. I've never seen a better picture. It's true that the blacks are true blacks (no more gray splotches), and when I'm watching 4K videos it's wild how realistic it seems - almost like you're there. The sound is good too compared to my other television. This one has bass and richness.
That being said, I find most of the features to be unnecessary and maybe even confusing. The setup took half an hour, and I don't even remember all the functions it said it had. Sometimes it doesn't connect to the wifi immediately. It takes a few steps to do simple things like change the brightness. It's not super thin. And it's soooo expensive. I love the television, but I'm not sure I would recommend a friend pay full price for it.

Upon unpacking I noticed a bulge in the top left portion of the black frame. Not a good sign.
So I plugged it in & the picture was beautiful.
I worried the TV may have internal damage since it is so thin. I immediately began the return process. I took another day off from work since it was to be picked up the next business day between 10-4 & I wasn't about to leave it outside for a bubba to take. Alas, no one came. Not cool.

2.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE - IT DOES NOT HAVE THE AUDIO IT SAYS IT JAS
Reviewed in the United States ???? on October 3, 2022
Size: 65Style: TV OnlyVerified Purchase
I bought this specifically because the TV has special surface plus audio which can be used as a center channel and to drive one of their sound bars or receivers. Apparently that’s a flat out lie. I had one of their consultants call me to advise what best to do and he said it didn’t work, it was just an 1/8” phone on the back and no software to do anything with it …. Fwiw. I paid a premium for the Sony brand and feel like I was significantly misled. I did a lot of research based on their claims only to find out that doesn’t matter what brand surround sound I get because the TV is going to be a part of it - per Sony

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing picture quality

Last three TVs were Sonys. This one had a disappointing picture quality. Returned it and got an LG C2, which was some much better in all aspects. Recommend the C2.

Not happy with this at all! Paid way too much for the picture quality to be so poor.
1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn’t play well with new Nvidia GPU’s 30 series or newer

Size: 55Style: TV OnlyVerified Purchase
Is an excellent tv but if you’re planning to use this with a newer computer that has a nvidia 30 series graphics card or newer (can’t really say anything about amd gpu’s because I don’t have one) then maybe look into the lg or samsung oled’s as they paired better with nvidia gpu’s, I looked online and I was not the only one with problems connecting to a PC with this tv so it was not just a defective unit but a compatibility problem they have, this is not a deal breaker for everyone but it was definitely for me as I like to play some pc games on my pc and this tv offering 4k 120hz looks on paper like an excellent tv for gaming but that’s only the case with consoles like the PS5 for example. Hope this helps anyone make a better decision than the one I did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buggy

I used this as a PC monitor and every 10 minutes the speakers would turn off, also cannot use VRR, and Dolby Vision at the same time.
Dolby Atmos also is bugged and says it isn't recognized even though the TV says it supports it.
Buy an LG C2/G2 instead they have 4 HDMI 2.1 and can have all features on at once without the bugs from the GoogleTV OS.

1.0 out of 5 stars A55J Smart TV bugs

I don't like it at all, it does not work. Thectech support does not know what he us talking about.
This Sony TV has bugs that it always running out of storage by the apps abd the smart TV hangs all the time, not even allow to select HDMI input. The only thing can work is to push the YouTube button on the remote and it's YouTube screen will pop-up. Otherwise it's a broken TV. I will try to return it, not sure if it's allowed. Hopefully Sony will have new firmware update to resolve the TV, otherwise I stuck with a defective TV

Pictrure quality is good, Sound quality worst and I have never expected this kind of issue from sony. It was playing some noise sound in background while playing songs. If you have any other external speaker then it would be better to buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Impossible Set Up
Reviewed in the United States ???? on January 27, 2023
Size: 55Style: TV Only
The first thing one must do in order to have this TV be set up for standing (not wall mounted) is to put the two stabilizing struts onto the plate. Well first of all, the screws one must manipulate are not a normal Phillips or flat head but a star head. I had to go buy a whole set of these rather than just one because for some reason, the two screws on the strut are two different sizes (why?????). These star heads are too small for my Black and Decker electric screw driver and now after having this TV for more than a week, I still haven't been able to watch it. Why make this so difficult? I've set up other TV's with no trouble. After paying so much for this, I expect much more from Sony.
