Common questions

Before you buy

Is the K65XR80 the same as the BRAVIA 8 OLED?

Yes. K65XR80 is Sony's model code for the 65 inch BRAVIA 8 OLED, so it is the same television at that size.

How is it different from the BRAVIA 8 II?

The BRAVIA 8 uses a conventional OLED panel, while the BRAVIA 8 II uses a brighter QD-OLED panel. The II is the higher-tier, brighter model.

Does it have four HDMI 2.1 ports?

Yes, all four HDMI ports are 2.1, so you can connect multiple 4K 120Hz sources and a soundbar without losing bandwidth on any input.

Is it good for gaming?

Yes. It supports 4K 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, which covers everything current consoles can use, though some rivals push to 144Hz or 165Hz.
