Sony XR80 55" Bravia 8 4K Ultra HD HDR OLED Smart TV (2024) | K55XR80PU

Picture Quality

The pinnacle of picture precision, our OLED panel features over 8 million self-illuminating pixels - and it's now more beautiful than ever! Think of an intergalactic sky in an epic space movie - with each pixel independently and expertly controlled, the BRAVIA 8 catapults pure black backdrop, dazzling starlight, and expansive out-of-this-world colour into your living room, full of texture and realism for cinema-like visuals.

XR Contrast Booster further enhances these spectacular scenes. Using a high luminance panel and temperature mapping, dark areas are darker and bright areas are brighter to deliver true-to-life contrast - just as the movie creators intended you to see.

See over a billion vivid, real-world colours on this Sony TV! Whether you're watching a gritty documentary or fantasy epic, our expansive XR Triluminos Pro colour palette reproduces the subtle differences in shade, saturation, and hue that you'd see in real-life.

Rediscover detail! Even older movies are brought closer to 4K quality with our 4K upscaling technology. XR Clear Image uses zone division and dynamic frame analysis to minimise noise within a picture, so you can enjoy all your favourite movies without distractions.(1)

XR OLED Motion keeps sports and action scenes smooth, bright, and clear. It works by detecting and analysing movement across successive frames, inserting extra frames between the originals to create smoother scenes, judder and blur-free.

All of this is made possible by our XR Processor. Featuring a scene recognition system that understands how humans see and hear in real-life, each element is detected and analysed with masterly accuracy, then the picture is optimised for ultimate realism.

One of the best things about OLED is that the stunning colours are consistent and true from any viewing angle. Perfect for movie nights with the family or inviting friends over to watch the match, everyone gets the best seat in the house!

We use our major movie production expertise to bring the creator's vision home, collaborating with the world's top streaming studios to develop specific calibrated modes(2) for your favourites, including Netflix and Prime Video(3). The BRAVIA 8 meets rigorous standards to showcase IMAX Enhanced(4) titles, and also features Dolby Vision(5) and Dolby Atmos - technologies straight out of the cinema, now on your TV.

Sound Quality

On the BRAVIA 8, the screen is the speaker - just like a cinema screen!.

Our Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology combines actuators behind the screen that invisibly vibrate with our tweeters to ensure sound comes directly from where it's happening on-screen. Whether it's dialogue from a character's mouth, or an explosion in the distance, everything is perfectly in sync for full, cinematic immersion.

Voice Zoom 3 uses the latest in AI (Artificial Intelligence) machine learning to make dialogue and commentary easier to understand, so even faraway or muffled voices are crystal-clear. This feature even works when connecting one of our latest soundbars to your home theatre set-up.(1)

Everything gets the surround sound treatment on the BRAVIA 8 - even 2ch audio is upscaled to 5.1.2ch quality! 3D Surround Upscaling creates virtual sound from above and the sides using just the TV speakers. With Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, you can experience the thrill of 360 Spatial Sound equipment too.

Simultaneous Audio Output(2) is a new feature that allows you to hear sound from the TV and a connected Bluetooth device at the same time. For example, you and your partner may require different volumes when watching a movie together, or you could even listen from the kitchen using your headphones.

Tv + Soundbar

Turn your home into a BRAVIA Theatre! The Sony BRAVIA 8 paired with a Sony Soundbar is designed to fill every corner of your room with soul-stirring, cinematic sound for an unmatched audio-visual experience.

The 360 Spatial Sound Mapping(1) found on Sony latest soundbars works by creating multiple phantom speakers around you in a cinematic layout. Nothing short of revolutionary, it allows you to bring true movie theatre entertainment home.

Acoustic Center Sync(2) turns your TV into the centre speaker of your home theatre set-up. This is incredibly more immersive, with sound coming from where the action is on-screen, rather than solely below the TV from the soundbar.

With its integrated UI(3), a BRAVIA Theatre promises effortless, easy control. Adjust your sound system's volume, sound field, and more, straight from your TV remote via the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu. The Sony | BRAVIA Connect app(4) gives you the option to control your TV and soundbar via your smartphone too.

Design

More than just a slimline TV, the BRAVIA 8 is designed to take centre stage in your living room. Sony designers have carefully constructed a statement piece to blend harmoniously with your home interior, as well as matching accessories, such as Sony soundbars.

Sony 4-way stand gives you the flexibility to choose between an outside position for large surfaces, an inside position for smaller shelves, and two different soundbar positions. Comprised of thin, flat steel with a metallic hairline finish, it looks great in any environment (and from any angle) but can also be cleverly concealed - place a Sony soundbar on top and it virtually disappears(1)!

Sony One Slate Seamless Edge TV design fuses the screen and bezel to minimise distractions and maximise your view. It's premium and smudge-resistant, with a flush one-piece back to grace your home with timeless style. The BRAVIA 8 looks particularly chic when wall mounted, owing to its ultra-thin profile and treated edges that blend with walls.

Clutter-free from every angle, cable holders and rear covers keep wires neatly hidden.

Sony new premium Eco Remote(2) uses 80% recycled plastic, is rechargeable, easy to clean, and backlit, so you can still see the buttons on dark movie nights!.
