Bring the cinema home in bright, beautiful detail. This is the Sony BRAVIA A80L OLED TV.
From the latest Hollywood blockbusters to classics, everything on the A80L is incredibly realistic. We've paired our stunning new OLED panel with XR OLED Contrast Pro to boost the colour and contrast like never before, and it's this juxtaposition of rich colour and crisp, true blackness that makes the important elements stand out.
Even if you're watching the darkest of thrillers, you won't miss a thing with our Cognitive Processor XR enhancing pictures in the same way your eyes focus in real-life, so you can see what's lurking in the deep shadows or behind those dazzling lights.
Our Acoustic Surface Audio + technology turns the screen into a speaker, and when sound comes directly from what's happening on-screen, your entire entertainment experience is more immersive.
You can even take your set-up to the next level with the Acoustic Center Sync feature and a compatible Sony soundbar.
The sophisticated design and Metal Flush Surface Bezel will harmonise with any interior, and the 3-way TV stand offers ultimate flexibility.
Our new dedicated Gaming Menu allows you to optimise your gaming performance - quickly. It includes Motion Blur Reduction, Black Equaliser, Crosshair (available in six different styles), and Custom Screen, which allows you to maximise your view when you need to see more detail in every corner of a game and minimise it when you need your eyes to focus on the enemy with laser vision!
You'll access 700,000+ movies and TV episodes from across your streaming services on this Google TV, and everything is organised into topics and genres to suit your personal interests.
You can even save up to 32% more energy with our new BRAVIA range! Our new Eco Dashboard puts all of your eco settings in one place that's intuitive and user-friendly, so you can save energy without hassle or jargon.*
BRAVIA CAM is compatible (sold spearately), inviting you to enjoy video chats on the big screen, and more.
Crunchyroll - the largest anime streaming service in the world – is included on the A80L too. With a vast library of anime, manga, and other original content, movies and shows are translated and subtitled or dubbed, so you can enjoy in a variety of languages.
