According to our television expert
With the Sony Bravia OLED XR-55A80J (2021) and Sony HT-ZF9 soundbar, your favorite movies and series with lifelike images and a realistic sound. This 4K OLED TV used millions of pixels that light up and dim individually. As a result, the TV shows images with a powerful contrast. This means that the difference between the deepest black and the brightest colors is very big. For example, subtle color tones in shades or a blue sky are displayed clearly. The new Cognitive Processor XR analyzes every image and improves the image display and sound reproduction of what you're watching. You can be sure that you'll always see the right colors in a nature documentary and that you won't miss a single moment of an exciting action movie. In addition to a true-to-life image quality for your favorite movies, this Sony TV also ensures a lifelike sound reproduction. Thanks to Acoustic Surface, the screen vibrates along with the speakers at the back of the TV. So it'll be as if the sound is actually coming from the screen.
With the Sony H-ZF9, you can improve the sound of your television. You can connect the soundbar to your television with an HDMI cable or with the included optical cable. The sound is powerful, thank to the 400W power. This can easily fill a large living room. With the built-in Dolby Atmos technology, the sound will reach your listening position via the ceiling. This way, you hear the sound everywhere around you, instead of only from the front.

Design
Immediately after unpacking, the TV was installed on the footrests and the beautiful design of everything immediately stood out. After connecting the plugs and connecting to the internet, you can quickly go through the installation process, link your Google account to the TV and you can immediately start all apps that you normally use. There are also easy buttons on the remote control to go straight to Netflix, Disney, Youtube and Prime. In addition to these apps, there are countless other apps that can be found via Google. The XR processor ensures fast operation of everything, which is very nice. The OLED 4K image of this Bravia is very good. Sharp image, black is black and you can also see enough in a bright room. The sound comes 'through' the TV and is fine for TV speakers. The bass could be a little better, but that's more perfecting. Furthermore, the Sony 55” has all the imaginable features of a modern TV.

Owned this OLED TV from Sony for almost a month now. This is due to the purchase of a PS5 and the minor annoyances that come with an 8-year-old first generation 4K/smart TV. He just got too slow. Despite the fact that my old (LCD) LG also had a nice image, I now really feel for the first time that I have brought home the image quality of a cinema. The images are crystal clear, the color contrasts jump out of the image. David Attenborough and his documentaries are really coming into their own now. The images spring to life, so much so that from now on there will be a small annoyance if the cameraman doesn't get the focus right right away.
Initially I had my eye on another OLED from Sony, but the prescribed 120hz only appears to be feasible with the FullHD resolution and the 4k only comes up to 60hz. This TV supports 4k 120hz and 1 eARC on 2 HDMI ports. So I can fully enjoy the latest games and series on this TV.
For those who can't tie the knot very well, I say do it. This TV is a great investment for the average TV and Game enthusiast and a technophile will also get his money's worth when it comes to setup.
