Sony BRAVIA 8 OLED 4K TV (K-55XR80) vs Sony BRAVIA XR8B OLED 4K Google TV
Both are Sony OLED sets on Google TV with 120Hz panels, four HDMI ports, VRR and near-infinite contrast, so the picture technology is the same. The real split is size: the BRAVIA 8 is 55 inches and the XR8B is 65 inches, and the larger panel weighs about 5 kg more. Owners of Sony OLEDs praise motion handling and the Google TV interface; the main complaints are reflections in bright rooms and OLED brightness limits. Buy the 55-inch if your room is small or your seating is close; buy the 65-inch if you sit farther back and want the bigger image.
- Choose the 55-inch BRAVIA 8 if your wall or stand space is tight and you sit within about 8 feet of the screen.
- Choose the 65-inch BRAVIA XR8B if you sit 8 feet or more back and want the larger picture for movies and sports.
