Sony OLED XR-55A80J
55", X80J, OLED, 4K, 2021Product details
The BRAVIA XR television elevates picture and sound with the Cognitive Processor XR. It is designed to mimic how humans see and hear, providing an immersive experience.
Our perception of the world is based on information that reaches the brain simultaneously from the eyes and ears. Normal AI (Artificial Intelligence) can only recognize and analyze elements like color, contrast, and detail individually. The Cognitive Processor XR evaluates all elements at once - just like the brain.
In the extensive library included, you can browse through movies. BRAVIA XR technology, Pure Stream, and IMAX Enhanced deliver stunning visuals and expressive sound, no matter what you are watching.
OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. Compared to traditional LCD televisions, models with self-emitting organic diodes offer significantly better contrast ratios and excellent color representation. Additionally, OLED technology allows for a flatter design, shorter response times, and is more efficient and environmentally friendly due to its lower energy consumption.

For 1,500 euros, Sony's XR-55A80J is a real OLED board: the picture is excellent, brightness and contrast are astonishingly high, and the 55-inch set is also convincing in terms of sound. We also have nothing to criticise about the handling or the operating concept. You don't get much more picture and sound for your money in this price range.

The lower-priced A80J may not match the luminosity of the A90J, but it still offers the key ingredients for an impressive home cinema and gaming experience. Especially in XXL formats, cinema blockbusters can be marvelled at in fantastic HDR contrast quality, and the A80J represents one of the most attractive tickets for home cinema currently available on the current TV market.

Sony's Bravia XR-65A80J is one of the best-equipped TVs in its class. It is also enormously flexible in terms of placement and delivers outstanding picture quality. Even in terms of build quality, the Bravia makes a statement.

- Bravia Core
- Google TV
- excellent image quality
The Sony XR-55A80J impresses with superb picture and sound quality. It is definitely one of the best OLED TVs you can get for under 2,000 euros.
