Sony OLED 83 inch BRAVIA XR A80L Series 4K Ultra HD TV

Overview

A large living room wall is the place for this very large OLED, where each pixel lights itself and the Cognitive Processor XR manages color and contrast. Acoustic Surface Audio+ turns the screen into a speaker that follows the action, and Google TV runs the apps.

Self-lit pixels give deep blacks, and the screen-as-speaker design aims to place dialogue near the picture. The set is heavy and wide, so furniture needs to be planned around it. The listing does not state HDMI port count.

Who it's for

Home theater and console owners with a large wall and a controlled lighting room. Apartment dwellers and shoppers with sunlit rooms should choose a smaller or brighter set.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Individually lit pixels switch fully off for black, so contrast does not depend on backlight zones. The processor tunes color and picture detail, and Acoustic Surface Audio+ vibrates the panel to produce sound across the screen. A fast refresh panel supports smooth console gameplay when the source allows.
