About: Sony XR-83A80L Bravia XR A80L 83" OLED 4K HDR Google TV

Lifelike color and deep blacks

All OLED TVs have self-illuminating pixels that can turn completely off to display absolute black. The BRAVIA XR A80L delivers an incredibly true-to-life picture by combining this cool OLED panel technology with powerful Sony processing. The A80L's Cognitive Processor XR cross-analyzes individual picture elements and quickly identifies the human focal point, so that it can immediately enhance each detail of that area. Instead of applying generic changes to the entire frame, it recognizes how individual parts of the whole interact with each other and makes precise adjustments create a more natural picture.

The A80L also features Sony's XR Triluminos Pro display technology for a wider, more natural color palette. This will be especially striking on High Dynamic Range content. The A80L supports the HDR10 format, which is mandatory for streamed 4K material and 4K Blu-ray movies. It also handles the more sophisticated Dolby Vision® format, which adjusts brightness and color levels in response to the video signal on a scene-by-scene basis.

Sound innovations

The A80L's XR processor also contributes to richer, more involving sound. Its 3D Surround Upscaling technology can create a heightened Atmos-like soundfield no matter what the source.

Acoustic Surface Audio+™ technology tracks sound effects and dialogue and matches them with the on-screen action, creating an even more immersive experience. Instead of the tiny — often down-firing — speakers that most TVs have, the A80L uses actuators on the back to send vibrations through the screen to produce sound from its entire surface.

And if you still want more, Acoustic Center Sync synchronizes the TV's built-in speakers with compatible Sony sound bars for even better sound.

Google TV simplifies streaming

The A80L includes the Google TV smart app platform which consolidates a wide range of streaming services into a single user interface. Watch an episode of Slow Horses on Apple TV followed by Beef on Netflix all from one watchlist, without having to dig around in individual apps.

And if you're feeling really lazy, you can simply ask the Google Assistant to pull up a show or movie. You can also adjust the volume, change channels or inputs, and control other basic TV functions using your voice.

Game on

The A80L is an excellent match for your PC or next-gen console, with a new Game Menu that offers easy access to settings including screen size, black equalizer, and motion blur. It supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), 4K at 120Hz, and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). And if you've got a PS5, you'll benefit from Auto HDR Tone Mapping for more accurate detail and color.
