Full Sony Warranty
Fast Free Delivery
”The Sony A80L is a fantastic TV that proves there's life in regular OLED yet.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 award-winner.
Premium TV - evolved
The Sony BRAVIA XR55A80LU follows in a long line of award-winners, and has the all-round talent to remain at the top of its class. As well as sensational, XR powered OLED image quality, it has one of the most talented Smart systems around. The combination of Google TV and BRAVIA CORE gives you an unparalleled range of streaming content and the possibility of the highest quality, 4K HDR IMAX Enhanced streaming. A new Game Menu joins the optimised PS5 settings to make this Sony 55 inch TV even more appealing to gamers.
OLED optimised by Cognitive Processor XR for outstanding realism
With over eight million, self-illuminating pixels, OLED delivers exquisite image detail. For the deepest blacks, peak brightness and greatest contrast, it’s still the technology to beat. Add Sony’s powerful XR Picture Processing, however, and you get OLED – optimised to the max. The powerful XR Picture processing maximises OLED’s potential, meaning you get an even brighter and more detailed picture.
Extended colour volume and brightness, featuring XR Triluminos Pro
Powered by the Cognitive Processor XR, XR Triluminos Pro reproduces the widest range of colours, in the most natural shades possible. For the highest levels of contrast and detail, XR OLED Contrast Pro adjusts the brightness to give brighter peaks and more detail within darker areas.
Less blur and smoother images
Sony’s XR Clear Image uses zone and frame analysis to minimise noise and blur. Keeping the millions of pixels in check, Sony’s XR OLED Motion technology keeps the action flowing smoothly. It also minimises blur, using powerful processing to strike the perfect balance between ultimate detail and the smoothest motion.
Picture quality as the creator intended – IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Vision and Calman Ready
Compatible with a wide range of technologies, the BRAVIA XR55A80LU reproduces visuals, just as the creator intended. IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Vision compatibility help deliver cinematic vision. Calman Ready, this TV is also ideal for those who wish to calibrate their TV to truly professional levels. If you’re a boxset and movie fan, you’ll love NACM (Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode). NACM works with BRAVIA XR’s ambient light optimisation, adjusting the picture brightness to best show the drama in your room’s lighting conditions.
Works with BRAVIA CAM*
The optional BRAVIA CAM (extra cost option), is the innovative camera that does so much more than just video calls. BRAVIA CAM recognises where viewers are sitting and optimises the picture brightness to best suit the lighting conditions. Sound is optimised, too, giving you clearer dialogue and more accurate tracking. It also facilitates the use of gesture control, letting you change channel or adjust volume using simple gestures. All this plus it still functions with your TV to make it the ultimate device for video calls.
*Sound, brightness and gesture functions due later in 2023 via firmware update.
Sound to match the action, with Acoustic Surface Audio+
Sony’s unique Acoustic Surface Audio+ speaker system enhances the sync between what you see and what you hear. Vibrating actuators positioned behind the screen pinpoint the sound to the action, heightening the sense of connection and realism.
XR Surround and 360 Spatial Sound Personaliser for enveloping sound
XR Surround with 3D Surround Upscaling takes a regular audio signal and creates a virtual surround sound effect – making you feel more immersed in the action. Combine this TV with Sony’s SRS-NS7 wearable speaker or selected headphones and enjoy Dolby Atmos and simulated surround sound via 360 Spatial Sound.
Boost with a soundbar
Add a compatible Sony soundbar and enjoy sound that is more than the sum of the parts. With Acoustic Centre Sync, TV and soundbar combine to produce the clearest speech possible. A compatible Sony soundbar also improves the sound’s scale, realism and spaciousness, taking the audio to a new dimension.
New gaming features
From the makers of the PS5, here’s a TV that gives you more customisation with games than ever. With a new gaming menu, it’s easier to access your game status, settings and assist functions. This TV also makes the perfect screen for your PS5. Whether you’re gaming or watching a movie on your PS5, the TV automatically adjusts to optimise the picture and settings. Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode mean your PS5 is served better than ever by this Sony TV.
Google TV
Using Google’s world-class interface, Google TV makes accessing this Sony TV’s smart features a breeze. Providing access to over 700,000 movies and TV episodes and over 10,000 apps and games, Google TV covers all the Smart entertainment you need. With access to Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Disney+, all your favourite streaming services are covered. Customise your home screen with the apps you use the most, enjoy recommendations, curate your movie nights and even add to your watch list via your smartphone – Google TV makes sense of Smart TV.
Hands-free voice control your TV
Featuring Google Assistant built-in, this Sony TV effortlessly becomes part of your Google/Android home network. The built-in mic lets you search, hands-free. If you prefer to use a different platform, the Sony is compatible, too. Apple AirPlay and HomeKit compatibility makes it possible to integrate with your Apple system. Support for Amazon Alexa devices also means you can voice control via your existing Alexa device.
BRAVIA CORE – cinematic streaming
Sony’s BRAVIA CORE is a premium streaming service that’s a cut above the rest. With hundreds of movies, from classics to the latest releases, BRAVIA CORE has something for everyone. Compatible with resolution up to 4K HDR, detail is pin-sharp. Sony’s Pure Stream system streams movies at up to 80Mbps – similar to a 4K UHD Blu-ray player – against the average of 15-25Mbps. It’s also compatible with IMAX Enhanced, giving you the most cinematic sound and vision.

What is Liquidated Stock?
Liquidated stock refers to merchandise from businesses that have closed down or gone bankrupt. These products are sold off to cover the debts of the company. We acquire these items, particularly from electronic companies, at significantly reduced prices. Additionally, we have partnerships with major UK distributors, allowing us to obtain excess or last year's stock from various companies.
Quality Checks for Each TV/Product:
We take the quality of our products seriously. Here's how we ensure the items meet high standards:
Warranty Validation: We verify the validity of the warranty or provide our own retailer warranty. In some cases, due to the nature of liquidated stock, serial plates from manufacturers might be missing.
Usage Validation: For TVs, we check the viewing hours to ensure the product has not been previously used. This helps us ensure you receive a product in excellent condition.
Rejection Policy: Any product that doesn't meet our strict standards is rejected. These items are then sold to local traders. We only sell products that pass our rigorous checks to guarantee customer satisfaction.
Important: We understand how crucial it is for you to receive a flawless product. That's why our delivery process includes unpacking and turning on the TV for your inspection. Please carefully examine the item before signing for it, as any physical damage reported after signing cannot be claimed.
What is the Warranty?
All items you purchase from us come with a warranty provided by the manufacturer or smartappliancesuk. This warranty ensures that in the event of any technical issues, we will promptly address and resolve the problem for you. It's our way of providing you with complete peace of mind. However, it's important to note that this warranty does not cover physical damage or any attempts at repairs made by unauthorized individuals.
What Will My Item Include?
Your purchase is comprehensive and includes everything you need to get started:
- Accessories: Your item will come with a remote and power cable.
- TV Specifics: For TVs, you might receive both regular and SMART remotes if needed. Additionally, screws and a stand will be provided unless you request a wall bracket. If your TV requires a connect box, it will be included.
- E-Manual: Most TVs now come with an electronic manual accessible through the TV menu. If a paper manual is not included, don't worry; we can send you a downloadable version via email.
- Note: Some items might be in an open box condition, meaning the original packaging may not be pristine. Also, the original paperwork might not be included, but we ensure all necessary components are provided.
What is the Item Condition?
We take pride in delivering products in excellent condition:
- Quality Assurance: Every item, especially TVs, undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our high standards. We perform security marking to safeguard your purchase.
- Occasional Imperfections: In very rare instances, a TV might have a minor scuff or mark on the back. However, please rest assured that this won't affect the performance, and it will be hardly noticeable. We never send out TVs with marks on the screen or front bezel.
- Packaging: To ensure safe delivery, we might replace the original box with our own sturdy packaging. Our priority is to make sure your item arrives in perfect condition.
How to Claim a Free Extended warranty!
All SmartAppliancesUK products come with the manufacturers/ retailers 1 year warranty as standard.
Here are a few SMART ideas to extend the warranty on your New TV -
Why pay on average £425 more for a TV at Currys with an extra 4 years warranty? Modern TV's with mature advanced technology can easily last the life of a 5 year warranty with no issues! Do not be fooled by this sales pitch.
The most common problem with TV's these days is the screen being broken rather than any electronic parts failing!
Please do not fall into the trap of the "5 year warranty" deals - Save your hard earned cash buy with Smart Appliances UK and use the options below to claim an extended warranty!
Warranties sold in shops are often massively over-priced
Many shops will try to flog a warranty on virtually everything - even if the goods only cost a few quid.
Sometimes the warranties cost almost as much as buying a new product. In which case, it's better to take the risk, save the money, and buy a new one if your product breaks.
But if you do want an extended warranty, you can buy an insurance product which covers multiple products, or use a handy comparison tools which searches for the cheapest option. With the comparison site the warranty and the item don't necessarily have to be purchased from the same shop, giving you time to find the best deal.
Free extra year's warranty available with packaged Bank account
An extended warranty is provided as standard if you have the Nationwide FlexPlus account as part of its £10/mth package of extras. It gives an extra year's cover after the manufacturer's guarantee expires.
As most manufacturers automatically include a year's guarantee, that means you can get two years for no cost.
The account also includes worldwide travel insurance, mobile phone insurance and breakdown cover all included within the £10/mth package.
There's no limit on the number of appliances and it covers up to £2,000 per claim with a maximum claim of up to £10,000 per 12-month period. However, it doesn't cover items purchased outside the UK, or 12 months before opening the account.
Your home insurance might cover you
Some home insurance policies will cover electrical items and white goods from theft and damage and breakdown.
'All-risks' cover usually includes items taken outside the home too. Simply check on your home insurance policy, A quick phone call to them is all you need to do.
Compare Extended Warranties
A free to use, extended warranty and service plan comparison website for domestic electrical goods.
http://www.compareextendedwarranties.co.uk/ is simple price comparison site where you can compare the price of warranties across a range of household items. It's run by four providers - Currys PC World, Argos, Domestic & General, Tesco - under an agreement with the Office of Fair Trading.
This comparison site often comes out best for single products, and for multiple products with low values, so check for the items you want to cover and see whether you can beat the multiple item policies above.
Be very careful when using this site as it can be confusing in the way it lists policies. For some policies listed you pay monthly, but others are priced for three or five years. Check that the price - and the cover - are suitable for your needs.
You can't click through from the comparison site to the provider, so you'll have to visit the warranty provider separately. Usually, you'll then need to call or visit a store as only a couple of providers allow you to buy online.
Best for: Single products
No single warranties are that cheap. If you do want one, check out the following..
www.surewise.com also offers cover for single products for £5.99/month, with a maximum item value of £3,000. It has an excess of £30 (or £50 if the product is more than five years old), but could still come out on top for more expensive items.
