Overzicht
The 30-Second Version
The Sony K65XR80M2 is an OLED with a serious identity crisis. Its picture quality scores are shockingly low for the price, and it gets beaten by nearly every competitor in gaming and HDR. Unless you find it for a steal, skip it and buy an LG G5 or a high-end Hisense instead.

De feiten
Performance
The picture quality scores are a real head-scratcher, landing in the 37th percentile. That's not just mediocre, it's actively bad for a flagship OLED. Gaming performance is even rougher at the 19th percentile, and HDR handling is a weak spot at the 14th. Audio sits at the 16th percentile, so you'll absolutely want a soundbar. The smart platform and connectivity are both bottom-of-the-barrel, scoring in the single digits. If there's a bright spot, we can't find it in the data. This thing struggles across the board.

vs Competition
Stacked against the competition, the Sony gets embarrassed. The LG G5 Series will run circles around it in gaming and HDR brightness. The Samsung Neo QLED QN75QN990FFXZA offers far better overall picture quality and smart features. Even the budget-friendly TCL QM7K and Hisense U8 Series deliver stronger performance where it counts. The Sony's only real card to play is the 'studio calibrated' look, but that's not enough to make up for the massive gap in raw performance.

Prijs
Value & Pricing
Pricing is all over the map, from $2,498 to a staggering $1,049,645, so someone's lost their mind on the high end. Even at the low end, this is a tough sell. You're paying Sony OLED money for performance that gets smoked by much cheaper sets. The value proposition just isn't there when the core picture quality is this underwhelming. If you can snag it for a deep discount, maybe, but at anything close to MSRP, it's a hard pass.

Overview
Sony's K65XR80M2 is a weird one. It's marketed as this premium OLED experience with 'highest brightness' and AI processing, but the numbers tell a very different story. Across our database, this set lands in the bottom third for picture quality, which is frankly shocking for a Sony OLED at this price point. The marketing copy is doing some seriously heavy lifting here.
Common Questions
Q: Is the 'highest OLED brightness' claim legit?
Based on our testing, no. The HDR performance sits in the 14th percentile, meaning it's one of the dimmer OLEDs we've seen and struggles to make HDR content pop.
Q: How is this TV for PS5 or Xbox gaming?
It's not great. Gaming performance lands in the 19th percentile, so you'll get better input lag and VRR support from competitors like LG's G5 series.
Q: Does it need a soundbar?
Absolutely. The built-in audio scores in the 16th percentile, so dialogue can sound thin and it lacks any real bass. Plan on adding at least a basic soundbar.
Who Should Skip This
Gamers should run, not walk, away from this set. If you need solid HDR brightness for a well-lit room, look at a QLED from Samsung or Hisense instead. And if you just want the best picture quality for your dollar, the TCL QM7K delivers way more bang for your buck.
Verdict
This is a tough one to recommend. Unless you're a die-hard Sony fan who absolutely must have those specific Netflix and Sony Pictures calibrated modes, there's no reason to pick this over the competition. The performance data is just too weak. You're paying a premium for a brand name and getting mid-tier results.
