The only significant downside to this television, especially when you consider the premium price, is that the remote control that comes with it is not great. This BRAVIA 4K OLED is absolutely stunningly beautiful and the sound is as good as the picture, and that is quite a compliment! In addition to using this model for watching movies and regular cable TV, I really wanted the best OLED television to go with my Sony PlayStation 5 console!

I decided to spend more money to actually get what I paid for.

Sony has always had an excellent reputation for quality regarding their televisions.

I just bought this television and decided on this specific model for many reasons. Although I am a Sony fan, this product is no longer my first choice for a recommendation in this segment. Overall, the A80K OLED TV is a good product for most people and a fine choice. Their SOC is also showing signs of age in its connections and user interface usability and speed. It was nice to not have to always use an external sound system for certain programs. Sony added another actuator to improve vocals which did improve slightly, but they also neutered about 20Hz from the lower end, causing a noticeable shift in the fullness and quality of the TV sound. It is nice to have the option to use the TV as a center speaker, but most users will not use it this way. Sound quality is another disappointment compared to previous models. Whereas the main OLED competitor has made some strong advancements with its models this year, Sony has actually stepped backwards in a few key areas such as picture brightness, ABL, and tone mapping. Unfortunately, Sony seems to be stagnant in comparison to its main OLED competitors.
