Real-life images, immersive audio, and an array of smart features come together to make the BRAVIA XR A80L 83" 4K HDR Smart OLED TV from Sony the center of your home entertainment experience. Movies, TV, and games benefit from Sony s Cognitive Processor XR and the A80L s brilliant self-lit OLED pixels with XR OLED Contrast Pro technology, which deliver realistic and immersive 4K content. Sound is equally as immersive with actuators that vibrate to produce sound from the entire screen, matching the action. Discovering new games, movies, and shows is easy with built-in Google TV and BRAVIA CORE, and the entire package is wrapped in an eco-friendly, minimalist design for a more immersive experience.
OLED & XR Picture
With the A80L, Sony utilizes a panel full of self-lit OLED pixels to deliver a stunning image that can be viewed from nearly any angle. The content you watch benefits from incredibly rich contrast with deep, shadowy blacks and bright highlights. The OLED panel is assisted by Sony s Cognitive Processor XR chip, which adds a sensor to detect screen temperature and precisely control the screen s lighting, in addition to delivering host of XR technologies to enhance what you watch and play:
- XR OLED Contrast Pro: Boosts color and contrast in bright areas
- XR Triluminos Pro: Provides over a billion colors for a wide color spectrum that results in more vivid and realistic images
- XR Clear Image: Using zone division and dynamic frame analysis, this feature reduces noise and blur for sharper text and smoother action
- XR 4K Upscaling: Non-4K content can be upscaled to take advantage of the display s capabilities, recreating lost texture and detail
- XR OLED Motion: Combats blur by analyzing the frames of your content, by creating and inserting extra frames between the originals for smoother and clearer action
Vibrating Sound with Clear Dialogue
Sony s Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology uses audio actuators that vibrate to use the whole screen to produce sound that matches the picture you see. The BRAVIA XR A80L can also make dialogue in shows easier to understand. With Voice Zoom 2, voices are detected and analyzed, then clarity is improved by suppressing ambient elements. Additional technologies help you deliver a surround experience and take advantage of various optional Sony audio products to further enhance the sonic possibilities of the A80L.
- XR Surround: Compatible with Dolby Atmos technology, this feature works to virtually create a surround sound environment with just the TV speakers
- Acoustic Center Sync: When paired with compatible Sony soundbars (HT-A9, HT-A7000, HT-A5000, or HT-A3000), both the soundbar and TV speakers are used as center speakers
- Personalized Dolby Atmos: You can achieve a virtual Dolby Atmos surround experience when pairing the A80L with the SRS-NS7 wearable speaker
- 360 Spatial Sound: Enjoy music and audio as if you were there when pairing the A80L with select Sony headphones using 360 Spatial Sound
Google TV
Google TV OS is built into the TV, giving you access to over 700,000 movies and TV episodes, as well as over 10,000 apps and games. It has all of your favorite content from major subscription services, such as YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, AppleTV, Spotify, and more.
BRAVIA CORE

Smooth Gaming
During PS5 setup, Auto HDR Tone Mapping optimizes the HDR settings so you can see more detail and truer colors in your games, even in bright or dark scenarios. The A80L will also switch to a specific Game Mode automatically when you turn on your console, helping to minimize lag and maximize responsiveness. When you re done gaming, the A80L will automatically switch back to Standard Mode for movies and TV. In addition to improved graphics, the smoothness of your gameplay is enhanced with support for 4K/120 gaming, and VRR and ALLM technologies.
One Slate Design
Sony s One Slate design aesthetic fuses the screen with an incredibly thin aluminum bezel into a single slate. This minimalist look puts the focus on your content for a more immersive experience. In keeping with the slim design is the included three-way stand. It lets you position the A80L lower to focus on the picture, narrower to accommodate AV furniture, or you can raise it to accommodate an optional soundbar. The slim, aluminum wedged stand has a diamond-shaped cross-section for a sturdy support that has a light and thin appearance.
Eco Friendly
An Eco Dashboard within the TV lets you access all of the eco-related settings of the A80L in one place. Use ambient light sensing for efficient power usage by optimizing screen brightness to your room s lighting. Auto Power Saving can be used with an optional BRAVIA CAM to minimize power consumption by darkening the screen automatically when you re not in front of the TV.
On the outside, Sony-developed SORPLAS recycled plastics are used throughout the construction of the A80L, minimizing virgin plastic use by approximately 60%. The packaging the A80L comes in uses approximately 48% less plastic by volume, is 15% smaller and 12% lighter than previous generations, which all work to increase transport efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 15%.
Additional Features
- The included smart remote can control all connected devices, giving you one-button access to video-on-demand services
- Lower buttons and special polyurethane coating make the remote easier to wipe clean of dirt and dust
- The A80L works with the optional BRAVIA CAM for video chatting with friends and family
