Verity has been a technology journalist for 15 years, starting her career working for the rather questionably named 'Boys Toys' magazine, before its editor moved to an up-and-coming website called Pocket-lint, and brought her on board as staff writer. It definitely makes a compelling argument for keep your AV purchasing within the Sony family in 2023. The sound was obviously bigger and louder too, and had a better sense of space and detail compared to the soundbar alone. A demo of Lady Gaga singing in When a Star is Born was lifted back to the panel, from the soundbar, so you felt like her voice was coming directly from her. We certainly found this to be the case when demoed briefly on the new A80L with the excellent A7000 soundbar. If you decide you would prefer to go for a soundbar, this TV - and a lot of Sony's 2023 line up - can make use of Acoustic Centre Sync, more new tech from Sony which combines the sound from the bar and TV together, to give a richer, fuller and more focused sound. It's one of the better sound systems - if not the best - that you'll find built into TVs, and we love how direct the sound is when it comes at you from the centre of the display.

Going on our previous experiences with this setup, we don't expect we'll be disappointed.
