Product Reviews

What a fantastic TV with great picture and sound quality.

Deliberated between the Sony A80J and an LG C14. Looked at loads of reviews comparing both and finally decided on the Sony because all the reviews said the colour balance and the handling of SD content were better on the Sony and yes they are. A. I happy with the Sony you bet I am..

Youview isn't available due to a software problem. You cannot download catch-up TV apps. Sony apologised but cannot say when it will be resolved. Wasn't told this when purchased.

great sound. great apps. great sound.. love it!!!!

I love this TV.... I've had various generations of Sony Bravia TV's over the last 10 years and this one is by far the most impressive. I definitley appreciate the jump from LED to OLED technology and due to the closing price gap, this wasn't as financially painful as I had expected. The TV itself is simply stunning in its rendition of colour, motion and even sound with this model....I find myself quite often turning off my (Sony) surround system on a normal evening as it's just not needed all of the time now. Love the new android TV system too, so much interoperability, so many useful functions, features and benefits over other TV systems, brilliant! ...it even works with my iPhone (well done Sony! That's a first). Hughely satisfied with yet another gorgeous Bravia product from Sony.

Very disappointed Sony have not got bbc I player and itv hub on this high end tv when other competitors have.

Fine image processing maybe a little too weak brightness. . excellent sound

The disappointment is that we cannot access catch up tv (iplayer, itv hub, all 4 etc). It appears that the Sony software is incompatible and it is not possible to install the necessary apps. I am currently considering returning the tv due to this failing

I bought this product a month ago and wow what an upgrade from my existing Sony bravia gone to oled now which is amazing and love that Sony have android built in as I'm a Samsung phone man and links everything to my TV from phone great service and amazing TV never have nothing different now

Picture quality and sound is brilliant no sound bar required

I love the picture quality of A80J, it HDR, colour richness, contrast. The Google TV is great also. The Netflix picture mode is auto setting whenever a Netflix program is played.

As expected the picture is great but: freesat failed to find channels even though Sat found 240! and they don't have an EPG? so would be frustrating. BBC/watch-again/iPlayer is still missing after months of waiting (it was mentioned in May on sony forum). I found out how to delete some of the useless apps - which is nice. So in summary - use it for netflix/amazon and as a display but I would not expect to use it for any sat TV

I bought being new for 2021 having looked at many other makes, so glad I did stunning TV

I bought thís a month ago, and very happy that i did.

This is the best tv I have ever purchased. The picture out of the box is terrific. Tremendous picture quality.

Had the TV for 2 weeks and completely satisfied. Highly recommended.

I purchased and still own a Sony 3d TV. Had it for 9 years. What a TV is was back then. For the past year I have been looking around for a 4K TV and watched many reviews from the likes of Digital Trends and HDTV Test. For me it was a choice between LG C1 and the Sony A80J. However, from reviews, many have stated that the C1 is more of a 'Gaming TV' and I needed something for my films to be the best they can look. Initially I wanted the A90J but could not justify the cost of spending £1.5k more for the 65" version. Nevertheless, I do not regret my purchase. What a quantum leap, in terms of picture quality, this TV is that. It screams immersion and cinematic at it's best. The only downside to this TV, which I think plagues many other TV's is the sound isn't as robust. So, a sound bar is recommended. This TV uses Google as an operating system and it's really quick at navigating menu's. Yes, there is a built in mic on the remote to use your voice to search for content. Nice feature. Overall, if you want the best in class for viewing your movies. Sony IS the brand to go for. Dolby vision has to be seen to be believed. The A80J is phenomenal in delivering this. Your movies will look natural and true to life, as the creator intended.

Bought a month ago - amazing picture and sound very happy!!

This is TV is fantastic! Picture quality and sound are amazing and the TV itself looks sleek. The reviews don't do it justice. Would definitely recommend

Bought this tv and so far am happy with the purchase . The sound is great so need for sound bar .

I have been looking for a larger TV but not to big.. this 55" 80J fit the bill.

Picture quality is great. I am however disappointed with the selection of apps a can’t seem to access BCC iplayer or 4od.

Long time Sony tv user and this one didn't disappoint. Picture is magnificent. 4K outstanding!

This Smart TV is not very 'smart' since Youview and all the usual catch-up apps are currently missing due to legal issues. Get your act together Sony... you should have resolved this prior to letting customers spend our hard-earned money on 2021 TVs that are sadly lacking! Unacceptable

This would be an excellent TV however I can't currently recommend it as it is missing the UK catch-up services. Apparently they are due before Christmas however Sony advertise the TV as having them which as of September 21 is not true

After some the screen get hot, hope i will not affect the TV.

Glad we bought it , easy to use , good picture, great

Glued to the TV the whole day… Remote control has no backlight though which is a shame.

Fantastic picture and sound quality, sleek design with lots of free movies via bravia core, great apps for the whole family to enjoy. Definitely worth paying a little bit more for a 55" 4k Oled tv, Sony in my opinion are leaps ahead of other brands, we have Sony phones, playstations so we are big fans of Sony.

To date, the a80J is the best tv I have owned. Sony technology is great. The only issue I have is being blinded by the brightness when watching in the late hours of the night. PS5 looks great and watching ultra 4k DVDs on it is stunning. First OLED, won't be my last.

Still haven’t explored all the features; the sound is stunning and picture clarity is awesome. Colour depth, no black spots, stunning TV. Haven’t worked out AirPlay yet.

I like the search function by voice. This is something unexpected.

I had this for a couple of weeks and the picture quality has blown me away

I’ve been using this tv for a few weeks and can confidently say it’s amazing. For the price paid it has a fantastic picture and sound, and looking at the equivalent sets from other manufacturers, I’m glad I chose the Sony. Only real minor issue is the amount is settings that are available means your constantly making adjustments for the first few weeks, but everything else is fantastic.

I got this product from Best Denki at Great World, the sales officer, Mr. Jim provide me an excellent recommendation and the service is good. I am satisfied with the product at that pricing.

I was sold this tv on the basis it would have catch up tv. When it was installed at home (costing £49) it did not have any of the catch up tv. Yet the tv keeps showing me programmes I can watch on the BBC iplayer but I keep getting a message saying I don't have the right version of BBC iPlayer. I went back to the store and they told me there would be a software update that would give me the catch up tv I am missing. I am still waiting. As an interim measure the gave me a thing called Chromecast. My wife asked that it had a remote control and was assured it did. When I got it home I found I needed to use my mobile phone to get the programmes on the tv. If I had known before I bought it I would have gone for a different tv. I will not buy Sony in the future. The company that sold me the tv said that Sony had not told them of any problems with the tv. I will be avoiding that company as well.

Superb , making every show a pure pleasurable and involving experience

Best Tv i ever had worth it $ i am using sony tv more then 17 years and i am completely Satisfied with service with product and with company highly recommend it

Perfect picture and sound quality. Amazing performance with ps5 also

I love it. When I first turned it on it seemed a bit dark and my instinct was to put the brightness up a bit but to my surprise it comes with the brightness already on max so a little panic set in after spending the most I’ve ever spent on a TV but after a few days of trying to convince myself that this must just be what OLED TV’s are like I decided to have a go at adjusting some of the other picture settings. I found that adjusting the blackness settings and tinkering with a few other settings made it how I like it and I now have a configuration that suits me. The rest of the setup was really straightforward and intuitive unlike a recent Samsung, which was a struggle! Overall really pleased with my purchase.

Utterly disappointed, after having spent over £2000 on this TV, this TV doesn't come with iPlayer, 4More, ITV & other on demand apps. Whats more, if you try to install them the TV says OS is not compatible. Not what I expected from Sony. My £300 LG LED tv has these capabilities. Whats more, in the advert they have claimed support for on-demand apps! Perhaps this should be raised with the advertisement standards agency.

It has met all my expectations and weeks later I am still noticing how different everything looks on screen - how much more I can see and notice - all the time. A high quality product which I am very happy with.

Upgrade and well worth it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

despite getting a booklet with some 50 pages.....only about 6 are in English. I found getting the right leg configuration (1 of 3 positions) the hardest to understand as there were only diagrams NO WORDS to help. Working out the inputs are audio settings were a nightmare..... One week later and im still not sure i have evrything right and getting the best from the TV.....

I recently purchased this TV and so far have been exceedingly happy with it. The only downside so far has been the need to keep a firestick plugged in to the back to access BBC I-Player and to date (3 weeks) I haven't been able to access Bravia CORE as I believe the TV didn't ship with the latest software. That aside, I would recommend this TV!

I bought this on August 2021 after thorough review of the TVs available. This is the best TV at the good price point(slightly ex) which is suitable for all rounded usage. Movies look very good and content from Apps like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon prime are great when viewed on this TV. Design of the TV is minimal that helps to focus on the video output. Google TV works well without any lag. Overall very satisfied with the purchase.

In general this is a great TV. Picture quality is very good. Sound quality is amazing. The remote is extremely easy to use and the set-up was easy. Mounting the TV on the wall was also relatively pain free. The reason i havent given it 5 stars is: - How do Sony not have BBC iplayer and ITV player apps. Absurd in the UK. - Picture quality is very good, but for a £2500 TV I'd expect it to be even better. This may be down to certain apps streaming capabilities, but still... - The physical design, its fine. Nothing super sleek or sexy, just fine.

The sound is amazing and a bright colourful picture with the best of google apps

After spending considerable time trying to find the best TV available around, I decided to buy this one as its reasonably priced, compared with its most expensive XR65a90JU. I am very happy with this purchase and do recommend it to any one who is confused in selecting the right TV. It's a dream TV.

Just a wonderful experience with this tv, my last tv a panasonic plasma lasted 12 years, be well happy if this does the same, love it's features and just an outstanding picture.

First I worry it's not bright enough compare with A90j and Samsung Neo LED, but finally it's great. It's bright enough to watch in day time, and use with my PS5 with no problem. I returned a Samsung Neo LED because when it play PS5, it will come with black screen for few seconds. Sony make best OLED TV in this moment. Highly recommend.

Absolutely outstanding picture quality even on just normal hd tv channels,4K content is brilliant with so much detail showing through. Having previously owned an oled tv from another brand i can honestly say this sony tv outshines in all departments ,if you are considering purchasing this tv I don’t think you would be disappointed at all.Hopefully catch up services will be added at a later date but at the moment I’m happy after all there is plenty of things to watch with tv apps.
