I always find it so weird that people say it only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports so you can't play both xbox x and ps5. Are people that lazy these days that they can't unplug one and put in the other?. Its not as if you can play them both at the same time anyway lol. It literally will take you a couple seconds to do.
I have both consoles and have this model. The reason unplugging it is a hassle is because the Xbox VRR mode looks awful compared to the PS5 (hence it’s a Sony TV) and you have to adjust the picture settings each time you switch consoles. If it was as simple as changing ports I would definitely do that. I decided it was best to keep my Xbox on HDMI 2 with 4k 60 so my Apple TV can have Dolby vision. First world problems lol
@@Jacob_1996 The other issue with the ports is that if you have a receiver or soundbar, unless you have the newest systems you still can't passthrough 4K@120 fps anyway through them. So you have to have the latest components to actually make it work, otherwise you're stuck with TV audio no matter if you have a Sony with 2 ports or LG Samsung with 4. The amount of people with the latest models that can play everything through 120fps is extremely small. Any excuse to say LG is the best gaming TV even though the picture isn't as good in game mode
@Tom Wells As much as I love sony tvs, even I have to admit admit that it's a bit ridiculous for their price they only have 2 hdmi 2.1 ports when other brands supply 4 hdmi 2.1 ports for much cheaper. There is honestly no reason. Sony is not immune to criticism when it's warranted and this is a good time honestly. On a side note... like you said if someone has an older reciever and needs to use arc, it would re enforce why having 4 hdmi 2.1 port is more substantial then you think. What if you have an Xbox series x, ps5 and pc that supports hdmi 2.1? Like I said why sony still releases there high end tv with only 2 hdmi 2.1 ports is still baffling to me.
C'mon man...At this price point, you shouldn't be required to plug snd unplug everytime you want to use another device. What you're saying is like, buying a 60k car, without power windows, cause it literally only takes 5 seconds to roll windows down, right?
Surprised to see such a low subscriber count, I thought it was 2m plus channel. Awesome quality content, really hopeful that this channel will reach 2m + in no time.
I have a Sony X950H (FALD LCD) that gets around 1000 nits full screen but to be honest whenever I am watching in a dark room I have to turn the brightness down from MAX to around 25-30. I'm not sure why the 2022 models are all chasing the high nits (some going up to 1500!?) when I think 1000 is already too bright for most viewing conditions. This A80J for about £899 right now feels like an absolute bargain.
@@Tom.HyphenI upgraded to a 55 inch A95K. Highly recommend it , it's so much more awesome. My A95K is perfect! It's so much more brighter , it has no ABL too.
Still Recommend in mid 2023? I’m planning to get one to watch movies and football also I’m planning to get it for my upcoming PS5 as I don’t have it till this moment.
Hello, your video is much appreciated. Will be unboxing and setting up this tv sometime this week. I'm not a gamer, it will be used for watching movies only. Really excited about getting it hooked up. Thank you.
Have an A80K 77" that has been having issues with the sound, Linked to the Sony HTA 5000. Out of NOWHERE my remote volume control does not work and have to use the sony soundbar remote. when using volume it is supposed to show up on TV, seeing Auto System, on the left bottom side of the screen. When not linked up with sound ar one has to use the tv remote to turn off the TV and the Sony soundbar remote to turn off the soundbar. This is my 3rd month in having these issues, so far once a month Best Buy Geek Squad out to link it back up. This month March 10th, 2023 Geek came out and linked up the remote using Blue tooth, so still, the TV remote does not work with volume when I shut off the TV only the TV and sony go off, and not the Comcast box. Is anyone else having soundbar issues with this Sony A80K and HT-A5000 soundbar?
Hi I do notice some image retention with the app logos on Apple TV, and occasionally on some video games. Not really an issue though as it clears pretty quickly.
I have had an a80j for over 18 months, TV is probably on for around 18hrs most days, as I work from home. A third of the content is news, a third is mixed content and a third is TH-cam content. No burn in for us, which is pretty amazing really. The only real disappointment is Sky Q and HDR. I just cannot get a great consistent picture for watching 4K HDR Formula 1, it is either washed out grey, or crazy overblown Samsung-esque colouring. Inbuilt TH-cam, Amazon, Apple and NetFlix app content is incredible though.
👍🏾 excellent video Tom. 2 ways to get around the limited hdmi 2.1 ports. Purchase an av receiver or processor that supports hdmi 2.1 or get a hdmi switch that supports hdmi 2.1
Thanks man I was thinking about the HDMI switch but I’ll probably change the TV fairly soon anyway. Was considering a G2 or maybe wait to see what comes out next year.

Hi, man! Sometimes while playing Switch or Ps4 on my Sony a80J, I notice that one of the bezels (either left or right side) becomes bigger, would that be normal? That only happens while playing, and after I return to the Home Menu, the screen looks normal again. I am worried about that. I have seen something similar on your TV.

I noticed your govee lights don't have the camera at the top, may I ask, did you just order the $20 set on Amazon 16ft and just wrap it around the back of the panel? Thank you Tom
Hi Brian yes I did and they work great. I’m not so keen on the immersive lights with the camera as I find it distracting, far prefer static solid lights 👍🏼
@@Tom.Hyphen how often do i need to change content tho? I just play single player games and play only one at a time for lets say 100 hours is that a problem? Awesome review btw congrats
I’ve played hundreds of hours of Apex Legends on this TV now, still not had a problem. TBH I don’t even think about it, I just play and watch what I want 👍🏼
Nice review, I just bought the A80J a week ago, love it so far. Love your setup as well...I also have the 606 S2's 🤤 I also have matching HTM6 S2 center!
BEWARE! This TV has a great picture - although after 8 months it just stopped working; the front LED just repeatedly blinks 4 times. After a 2-month back&forth with the Sony warrantee dept, got a replacement, which just died now with the same problem (~8 months again!). Been a week dealing with the "Extended warrantee" department, and after a week, have yet to even get a claim number.
Nice review! The TV looks amazing. I was looking at this TV as its been reduced from £1399 to £999 at a lot of retailers. Do you think its worth the £999 price tag being a 2021 model? Also regarding the one 2.1 hdmi port, could you not use a HDMI splitter which has 4k@ 120hz capability?
Hi Richard, £999 is a fantastic price, definitely worth it. HDMI splitter is an option but not ideal, I'll probably get a new TV next year. I can't recommend the A80J enough though, beautiful picture quality. In your situation I would only think twice if you have two consoles and plan to keep it a long time.
Hi Richard, I own this TV and use an HDMI 2.1 splitter for my PS5 and XSX. Works fine. Obviously it's a bit annoying pushing a button on it to change between consoles but I'm used to it now and much prefer Sony's processing to LG.
It's 998 atm on Amazon with black Friday deals, i'm still getting a bargain by buying it with finance, the Google OS experience will be great I'm looking forward to it! I wouldn't care too much about hdmi 2.1 as long as I can play PS4 games via external it doesn't matter, the odd PS5 game will be there to download and I will encounter the experience from my own judgement, I just want some simple confirmation that I made the right choice for my gaming needs
@@Tom.Hyphen nah, I don't need HDMI splitters, it's like old analogue radio stations, you can't make the signal any better by buying hdmi adapters! as long as I can get full hdmi experience with my PS5 and my audio out I'm good, my 400 quid audio set-up should be acknowledge of this
After 8 months of having this tv I’m still not sure if I like it or hate it lol. When I first bought it I did like the picture quality. The blacks were deep and punchy but still with some shadow detail. Then a few months later I decided to update the firmware and now blacks aren’t as deep, there’s a lot of gray and that hurts the picture quality.
I got 4 months with my 77" a80j and Im on the same crossroad. I dont know if it wants to be loved or not Should I upgrade to the 83" a90j or keep this a80j till a sony 85" OLED comes out
@@unknownsource4359 lol what? I dont know what u guys are talking about. I also have the A80J in 77 inch and its absolutely amazing. Did you calibrate the different picture presets, as its recommended on some decent TH-cam Channels? The A90J is almost the same as the A80J, except that it got a higher brightness peak level, because it got a heat spreader + its 6 inch taller. You wont really notice a difference at all. If you really wonna see a change, you should go for a QD-OLED like the new Sony A95k, but that will cost a lot of money and in my opinion not worth. Try to calibrate ur TV first.
@@derek4177 not to mention that a 77"-85" qd-oled will cost a kidney next year. I was watching netflix last night and it looks good. I barely have 48 hours uptime on my 77" a80j. Im still staking out for a 83" a90j for black friday.
My living room is north facing so fairly dark, that said a brighter room should be ok, but you might have an issue if you have windows directly opposite the TV
Hey I'm thinking of getting an A80J but I am not too sure about ASBL dimming in HDR gaming. You say it doesn't happen too often and you play games with lots of HUD elements like Apex. Is it more than slightly annoying? How much does it dim?
Dimming isn’t huge but is noticeable. Won’t lie I do find it annoying but it really doesn’t happen too often. I find it worst on GT7 but I don’t play that much anymore
Funny thing for me is I've never noticed the ASBL while gaming.... probably because I play on min to very low brightness lol. I mostly play nba2k so no need for a bright punchy picture.
Damn. After just getting my a80k, the a80j really is too dark for me. I always hated how it doesn't look like your really looking thru a window, and sunlight it hitting it. The a80k wakes me up instead of dulls my senses
@@BookClubDisasterjokes on you, its literally the same panel and actually the a80j still has the better processor, so it can show more clarity and details, especially in darker scenes
