What reviewers say

The 55-inch What Hi-Fi? and 65-inch TechRadar reviews praise natural colour, deep blacks, upscaling and clear screen-based sound. Both find brightness below stronger OLED rivals and HDMI features limited. What Hi-Fi? notices scene-dependent brightness and occasional lost dark detail; TechRadar is more upbeat about bright-room performance and US value.

Largest size: 77″

Gaming

HDMI ports: 4 (2 HDMI 2.1 at 4K 120 Hz+)
Variable refresh rate: HDMI VRR
Auto low latency mode: Yes
HDMI detail: Four side HDMI inputs; HDMI 3/4 provide 4K 120 Hz, VRR and ALLM. eARC occupies one of those two inputs, as confirmed by both full reviews. HDCP 2.3 on all inputs.
Game features: PlayStation 5 Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode. What Hi-Fi? confirms Dolby Vision gaming is limited to 60 Hz and lacks a dedicated low-latency game mode; HDMI format selection separates Dolby Vision from 4K 120 Hz/VRR.

Smart TV platform: Google TV
Processor: Cognitive Processor XR
Dolby Atmos: Yes
eARC: Yes
Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)
Bluetooth: 4.2
Speaker detail: Acoustic Surface Audio+: maker lists three actuators and two subwoofers, rather than the five-actuator wording in both reviews. UK 65-inch output 10 W + 10 W + 10 W + 10 W + 10 W (50 W).
Audio features: Dolby Atmos and DTS Digital Surround; Voice Zoom 2, room/user-position calibration, 3D Surround Upscaling and Acoustic Center Sync with compatible Sony soundbars. 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer support.
Voice assistants: Voice remote; UK maker table explicitly lists no built-in microphone on A80K. What Hi-Fi? distinguishes A84K with hands-free microphone, different remote and Vivid-only colour enhancement; those upgrades are not assigned to A80K.
Casting: Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay and HomeKit.

Ethernet: 1 × side Ethernet LAN.
Optical audio out: 1 × side digital audio output.

Sony UK’s 11 May release announces availability across a mixed range but warns some sizes were unavailable.
