The motion on both Sony OLEDs is great, it doesn't surprise me... you?
I have the a90j, I do see some judder in the motion. I came from a plasma that was incredible on motion before it blew up on me so I’m fairly sensitive to poor panning motion but it’s certainly better than any LCD/Led tv. Either way, I’m in fricken love with the picture quality every time I turn this thing on
The only time there is stuttering or motion issues is if cinemotion isn't on the correct setting for the content you're viewing. So anyone else complaining about the motion this year it's because there's two settings (three if you count "off") for the cinemotion now. It should be on high for 24p content and low for tv shows that are 30 or 60.
Edit: not counting typical OLED panning stutters
@@dyeace yes, sorry I didn't specify that the panning OLED stutter will still be there. I was specifically talking about the constant frame skipping if cinemotion is not set correctly. I was streaming Smallville on Hulu and cinemotion was on high and just people moving around and talking you could see frame skips every few seconds. It turned out to be some issue with my Nvidia Shield needing a power reset because the TV kept resetting Cinemotion back to high every time I would change it until I unplugged the shield and restarted it again. Was really weird.
@@dyeace does the lgc1 do better with motion ?
@@ClassyTechCalibrations I’m going to have to definitely watch your comprehensive set up to get a better feel then
I've had my A80J for a week now and I absolutely love it. Anyone watching TV with me is getting sick of hearing me say things like, "Look at that! You see how good that looks? Oh my God!"
🤣😆 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Whatch in the daylight
What do you think of the semi gloss finish?

Thank you for this comparison. I ended up purchasing the A80J 65” and this set is phenomenal. I am not made of money, so it was hard for me to justify the extra cost of the A90J when the performance is so similar. I am constantly blown away at how well this set does with broadcast media (sports especially). I did not expect it and I couldn’t be happier.
A80j is sniffing on my a90j's feet lol
It's the A80J for me! Another difference is fitting these on your current stand. For me, the 55" A90J simply won't fit on my stand because the feet are so wide. So there is an additional new stand cost I, and perhaps others, have to consider. Great video!
I decided to go with 55" A90J instead of A80J since I saw it going on sale for 1600€ which is a steal in my opinion. The price difference was only 400€ which I think justifies the slight advantages of A90J over the A80J. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!
Great video. My A80J 77 arrived a couple days ago I can confirm it has the traditional glossy finish.
Good deal. So weird the 55/65 isn't. It's not a huge deal tho
Ordered my A80J today. Delivery on Saturday. I'm glad I went with it over a smaller A90J or even LG. Your LG vs Sony video sold me on the Sony. Mostly going to be used for Movies, so the lack of (currently) VRR doesn't make a difference to me.
Loving the videos. Keep it up!
This makes me feel good about my picking the A80j, patiently waiting for it to be delivered
Way smarter purchase
That's fantastic my friend! Congratulations you getting the 77in
@Nesquick Music , you are fooling yourself but it’s your money
This is the exact video I needed to make a decision 🔥 I'll go for the 65" 80J. Cheers from France
Yeah me also a80j..congratulations
It's a solid tv.
J ai fait pareil A80j en 65
@@carineelbaz et donc tu en es content ? Tu penses quoi du son de la tv ?
Waiting for mine to come to me in Toulouse
Great video!! I love how you talk about SDR sports in your reviews! One gap I find in TV reviews is the sports content. With all four OLED’s in house I think a full video comparing different sports (Basketball, Golf, Hockey, etc) would be a huge hit for your channel. Lots of sports fans struggle with choosing TVs.
Formula 1
Even in November this was super helpful. Was leaning toward 65” A80 and this pretty much sealed it.
Bought the 65" A80J and then bought the remote for the A90J. Absolutely blown away by this TV. Paired it with the HT A700 soundbar and the SA SW5 sub and all I can say is WOW.
I also did this. Probably wasn’t necessary but its good to have a spare remote for the long term. Especially with kids
Right after watching this video, bought a 77'' A80J. Thank you!
That’s a monster
watched all your compare videos.
my 77a80j was just delivered. Going to follow your 2x 77inch install wall mount video. great job!
Congratulations my my friend..please tell me your thoughts lol because I'm driving myself nuts going back and forth..you can't beat the extra 12in over the a90j 65 and the a80j is cheaper and the a90j isn't a day and night difference in brightness
Gotta go for the larger size.
Bought the A80J 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love this beast!!!
I only got one 50” about four months back and only having a Sony Hd to compare to , m really happy with it. So much more and can use the same remote on each. Very satisfied and look forward to getting a game system hooked up, I believe that they are great performers with gaming.
Your reviews are freaking EXCEPTIONAL!! You provide so much useful information and a great final analysis that really helps TV donks like myself to make what feels like a pretty informed decision.
I feel the differences between the two OLED TV's is the A90J gives the viewer a little more detail and depth than A80J. However, the two TV's are so close that doesn't justify paying the extra $1200 for the A90J in the 65' size. I think the A80J in a 65' is a great OLED for movies in a dark room Home Theater environment.
I'll give you credit B, this is the best a80j vs a90j comparison on youtube imo. You know what I really love that you did and most people don't do, you just went all out in hdr. It actually shows off the extra color boost that Sony said the a84j has and a90j has a84j is for UK only and it's obviously when you use the extra settings. It def showed in hdr the extra saturation was there on the a90j. I wish more people would compare with the extra settings off and then with them on. This way people can see how each tv reacts differently to pretty much the same settings sometimes. even if so close without the settings activated sometimes when you do activate them the differences become bigger. My whole thing with the a90j is with the extra brightness you can put it in a darker mode and still get the extra boost on highlights due to the headroom. So imo the a90j when set dimmer still comes out ahead. I noticed that when using my a90j. You can do anything you want with it and get any image you want.
Great job as usual! Love the A90J but I am going to get the 77” A80J over the 65” A90J.
What do recommend? LG C1 77 inch or A80J 77 inch? I game a lot more than movies
@@victormunoz1864 C1
@@victormunoz1864 it's clear then, LG G1
@@victormunoz1864 C1 for gaming
@@victormunoz1864 For the time being: LG simply because not all HDMI 2.1 gaming features aren’t enabled on the Sony TVs yet. But if you play PS5 it doesn’t matter, as those features (e.g. VRR) are not enabled on the PS5 yet either. That being said, the picture quality, especially when it comes to details, of the Sonys is clearly superior. So if you’re solely out for graphical fidelity, the Sonys will do you good.
You did the most awesome comparison between 2 tvs. Great job again B keep up the good work Man.
Thanks a ton!
You had already guided me towards the A80J but now with the 77 coming down $1000, it's a no brainer for me. Pick up a back lit remote for another $80 and I'm set. This is the review most of us were waiting on, great job hitting it out of the park again brother!
Which back lit remote did you get? I have the 80J and hate my remote
Loving the A80J 77” over the C1 77”. Swapping for the better Sony TV and getting some cash back in the transaction was such a sweet deal. When the motion is set to 2 it’s buttery smooth without soap opera looks. On the C1 had motion issues in SDR, mainly in scenes focusing on actor in the front and panning background. I noticed this issue in HDR on the A80J but after getting the motion settings right, it was fixed. The LG had more adjustment options, however the Sony has some digital correction tools that allow for some amazing fine tuning. Also calibration is easier. LG C1 is a great TV but the A80J is definitely a step above.
I bought the Sony A80J in the 65 inch for $1799, and picture quality on it is amazing on it. I thought about purchasing A90J , but I couldn't justify the price in paying an extra $1000 for HDR brightness. One thing about the Sony OLED's is they have great detail, and depth in the picture which great for movies. One question I had to ask myself before I bought A80J is what I gonna use for? And like to watch movies. The A80J is a great TV for movies. I very happy with my purchase.
Does some 77inch a80j have semigloss? Or are ALL 77 inch a80js glossy?
@@jordanjae all are glossy.
That hippo scene really shows the Sony picture processing over Lg thanks B! Great video
This is a really good, informative review. Best I've seen for a long while
Pretty much how I thought it would go down. 😎 I had already hopped on the A80J 77" train but still nice to hear. I caught a few of your early vids B, you've come a long way in a short time. Keep the quality coming mate. Enjoy! ✌️
Thank you for the helpful and more importantly practical review, much appreciated! Went with the A80j 77 which was delivered yesterday. It’s mind blowing. Thanks again!
Absolutely loving my a90j period lol chose the 55 inch over a 65 inch a80j I can't help it I prefer 55 inches where I have my tv in my bedroom I prefer pixel density over size I like my image being as tight as possible a 55 inch will always look sharper and cleaner then a 65 inch it has the same amount of pixels so the 55 will be tighter I can't help it I've always been this way and 55 for me is plenty all preference
perfect ! answered all my questions going 77"a80j would love 83"a90j but can't justify that price difference for the extra size
I am getting the A80J 77" that is a no brainer. Will buy the remote that has backlit and use the non back lit as a pair. Great review.
I have the fifty and need to do the same. Didn’t know they were available until now.
Great video, very detailed and honest. You should do a review on the newest 7.1 Sony soundbar next using these TVs.
Thanks for the review. I just ordered a 77 inch A80J.
Took your advice, pulled the trigger and bought the A80CJ (Costco). Amazing picture! Had an old LG OLED65B6P. No comparison. Thanks for all your the time and effort you put in on your videos
Great video. It answered the question I had regarding whether the A90J was worth paying a lot more money to get. I took away: It's a little better, but not all that much better.
Yo this was such a great review! You really putting out the content I want with all the right TVs and comparisons. Great job! On Wednesday I ordered the 77in A80J and it came this morning, still in the box. I also ordered the brush metal remote off your suggestion lol. Super excited and I didn’t know the 77in had 50 watt speakers. Got me thinking if I need this new sound bar 🤔
Congratulations bro! I think I just might get the 77in a80j instead of 65in a90j ,considering the a90j isn't day and night brighter and $300 more and 12in less screen lol
@@waymonfrench2077 yea an occasional scene with brighter highlights cannot justify the A90J’s price tag to me. Other than that the picture quality seem to be identical. Good luck my friend
I ordered the 83 a90j the other day and I’ll have it on Wednesday. I can’t wait to see this beast in action after having the 65 a90j
How you liking it ?
Thanks for the comparison. I just ordered a 65A80J.
Great job. This video answered all the questions even about older models.
I bought the 65” A80J after watching this video. Was on the fence between the LG C1 and the Sony A80J , you helped me get off the fence. Thank you so much.
you tipped me to the A80j I don't do much gaming just movies and regular tv. thank you for your helpful video and review
I watch movies, work and pay bills . My kids game. Sony’s picture works for me. I have zero hate for LG’s but Sony fits my use case. Cheers to the best reviewer on the planet 💪🏽 great practical review
All I want is a 77" A90J. Come on Sony!!
there is no 77" A90J, there's 83" A90J and 77" A80J
You tell it like it is. A80J 77 for me. The saved cash from not throwing the house out the window with the A90J 83 is needed for a surge protector, a sound system, a wall mount, a lit remote, and the installation fee. You are the man. Thank you!
Got my A80J arriving in a few days (been on a SUPER old, outdated, clunky 40" LCD for too long)
Had no idea about a good TV when deciding I wanted to upgrade, but thanks to your videos I'm now so excited for it to arrive and to step into the world of OLED, 4K, HDR, 120hz VRR !! :D

Congratulations
You just helped me make my decision...A80J plus a Sony Atmos sound bar that lets me use the screen as the center channel.
Great review. Man, exactly what I was searching for after doing about a week of solid back and forth over what direction to go. I have a 65" A8F from 3 years ago and with a new house purchase I have several TV's to buy and once you go OLED you just Can't go back to LED or anything Other than Plasma. Sadly the last of my two plasma's rang it's bell earlier this year. A 2004 Hitachi Ultravision directors series and a Samsung J9000. But the 77" A80J VS 83" A90J or another variant of an 85" size scale TV has been on the chopping block for a theater room we are outfitting. Plan is to NOT keep that space as a "theater" so it diminshed the TV choices we'd normally be seeking for a traditional "home theater". Sort of sad b/c this room has the full monty.... elevated seating, column lighting, floor lighting, ceiling trim lighting, and all the wiring and pre-builts you can shake a stick at. A legit true movie theater set up. But a home theater just doesn't make sense for our family right now or for the next couple of years. But Exactly as you said......I can get the 77" A80J and Two of the 55" A80J's to hang on both sides of a double sided fireplace in the basement for the same price as the 83" A90J. $4,500 more?.... just makes absolutely zero sense unless you Literally have nothing else to spend $4,500 on other than 6 inches and a couple of unimpressive bells and whistles. Decision made and order placed tonight as they've dropped the price on the A80J.
I think people saying the two tvs are close in pq or can't tell a difference are seeing the tvs with some of the processing settings minimized or there is a panel issue.
I've been to a couple Best Buys as this is such a big purchase. The first store there was little difference between the a80j 77 in and a90j 65. Then I went to a second store and the difference between the sets was night and day. Not just brightness, but contrast, color volume and dimensionality. I played every piece of content they had from games to older movies to new 4k hdr content and the difference was the same across the board. I had another person with me and they had the same reaction.
I made the employee show me the settings as a thought something fishy was going on and both tvs had identical settings. I've also talked to people that have owned both and it's been the same response.
Anyway if you're seeing both tvs looking similar check out more than one store
and ask to see settings , it can't hurt before dropping thousands on a TV. Obviously we all have different priorities when purchasing a TV, but I can say without a doubt the difference in pq was enough to justify the price difference.
Interesting insight. So what is your recommendation? The 65" A90J can be bought for $300 cheaper than the 77" A80J right now. I only sit about 9' from my TV, so what would you recommend?
@@MrBen23 I very strongly believe the a90j is the better TV. It depends on how you use it though. If you're going for a reference type Oled picture the a80j is very close and the a90j isn't worth the premium. If you're ramping up reality creation , live color, contrast enhancer etc you'll really see why the a90j needs a heatsink. It takes on a 3d look no other TV can touch .
You won't be disappointed with either. All the 2021 OLED TVs are massive improvements from anything available last year. I'll just say that I paid close to 4 grand for my a90j and I feel it was worth every penny.
I purchased the Sony X91CJ 85 inch from Costco for $2,999. It was in stock and with the promotion they were running I got a 5 year warranty for free. Can’t beat that👍
Ive just got a 65" A80j, so pleased. Feet a closer, so smaller stand.
I'm going to get a backlight remote
This video made me return my LG C1 77" and get the Sony A80J 77". Besides the fact Ive always been a Sony Fanboy. I wanted to see what the hype was about the LG Oleds. Good thing Sony stepped it up.
Good move. I did the same thing. Watched Wonder Woman 1984 on hbo Max. Straight 🔥best picture I’ve ever seen. Enjoy.
Sdr and TH-cam content will look better on Sony but most movies and content coming out is Dolby vision and the c1 on Dolby vision is the exact same as the Sony you will be missing those gaming features my friend
@@braedanrobinson2809 If your a competitive gaming c1 all day but if you want the best picture quality a80j. No tv is perfect in 2021 unfortunately but it’s really hard to take your eyes off the a80j it’s that good. I’ve got no dog in this fight. I prefer that wow factor that the a80j processes but the lg c1 77 was a nice tv especially for gaming. I really like that back lite remote too, especially in the dark. Lol
Having so much fun debating the LG 65 and 77 CX vs the 65 A80J (coming from the 65 Vizio Quantum 2018). All have pro's and con's.
Great Video. Can you compare the A8H to the A80J. I have not been able to find this comparison on TH-cam. For us that have the A8H and are considering upgrading it would be helpful.
Lol,I'm in the same boat as you ,that's what I'm trying to find out as of now lol
You'd better stick with your A8H. A80j with its matte panel is one step forward and two steps backward. A90j is a worthwhile upgrade.
@@fabrized Thanks for the advice. I am leaning to keeping the A8H anyway. I was just curious how it compared to the A80J.
Hi Brandon.
Thanks again for the time and effort in making another great informational video comparing these TV's. I do see the differences in pq of the 90j but the 80j hangs in there with it and is the next best thing. Yes, when you can buy two 77" 80j's for 1k less than the 83" 90j it's difficult from a monetary perspective to justify for the extra 6" in size and the slight pq difference. But, if money isn't an issue for you and want the best the 90j is the clear winner. Hopefully with time prices will come down for the 90j. Aren't we so fortunate to have this choice. Either way you can't lose!
..best..
B: Great video. I_was_the_installer -- installed (DIY) 77 A80J including the LED lights. Picture looks great. Thanks for all of the great install videos -- very helpful. Can you post optimal settings (calibration) or do a settings video for the A80J?
I ordered the a80j and this video made feel ok with that decision over not picking the a90j. Thanks for the side by side comparisons.
Best buy made an exception and let me return my a90j 65 for the 77in a80j. It gets here Monday.
Happy with the swap?
Great comparison. Looking forward to more comparisons involving more of the LGs. I do notice that something does not look right on the G1 here. I see a yellow haze and dulled down sharpness, even when compared to the C1.
I agree. I have to be honest that i do not like the G1 picture.
I would definitely buy the a80j if it was 85 inches! Nice review and first one to post 80 VS 90.
There's another video check out (tech with k g)
You guys are pumping out one video after another.. Amazing!
Going with the A80k, thanks for the report
Thanks for the review but for me the Sony a 90 J is better the size 83 inches is awesome the way it handles dark scenes and shadow details and upscale and the 2-D 3-D effects is awesome so we got the Sony a 90 J 83 inch
Thanks for this great review & comparison... after looking at your video, I ended up purchasing the A80J (65"). I liked the extra protection around the screen and since I already had the Arc (Sonos), I didn't feel the need of splurging on the A90J for its sound system. I may have to purchase that remote control though ;) Thanks again!!
Many will jump as the 77” who sit too close and be disappointed. From 7 feet the 65 is massive. I exchanged the 65A90J for the A80J 65” and put $1,340 back in the bank. The A90J is for the rich or foolish. Even the Sony product representative told me that they do not go through an pick out special panels for the A90J. The 90J is the best but the 80J is the smartest buy and better than any LG of 2021.
Master Series are not handpicked panels, stop listening to others who say this is true. The Sony rep told me If this was true, why were so many returned for issues? Good question
Awesome review !!! Thanks B ... if only the A80 came in an 83 inch size lol ... I’ve got a 75X900F now so I’m going to have to bite the bullet and go big or go home .
I have changed my mind so many times, but I am going to the A80j 65 ..77 is too big for my room. Keep up the great videos.
Thoughts on A80J vs. A8H? Is this a big upgrade worth $400 (looking at 55" size) or should I grab the A8H for a bargain price? Interesting that you say the A80J is brighter than the A8H. RTINGS measured real scene peak brightness of both SDR and HDR actually higher on the A8H. In fact I was surprised to see on RTINGS that the categories for Movies, TV Shows, Sports, and HDR Movies the A8H was either even or BEAT the A80J. Maybe this is worth a video?
Went with the 77" A80J.. just can't justify how $4500 extra in expensive for the 83"-A90J is worth it for such a minimal difference. *Current market price differences*. Yeah, I want an 83" but.. I also want $4500 lol. Upgrading from a 65" bottom of the barrel quality HD LG so.. win/win. I'll be plenty happy I think.
I’ve got the a80j 50” and also a older H.D 32” and both remotes still work on each television. Very convenient when losing each in the dark.
I like the Remote configuration and operating system. Sony are winning me over with their products, t.v’s anyway.
L.G’s do rock, but Sony is competitive.
Only size matter 😆 after 8 years of 65 vt60 plasma only one choice for me left - 83 A90J 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The 83” A90J is going be 🍌’s
Haha yeah for sure.
Sony A80J ftw! Great review btw cheers!
I got the A90J 65, I guess I wouldn't notice any difference. But I'm super happy 👏. Picture and sound is top notch. No need for soundbar 👏🙏🙏
Great video as always!! Enjoy watching your videos!! Would be nice to have LG G1 vs A80J vs A90J..☺️
Don’t forget c1
I think I’ll wait until the gaming features are there. I do both, I watch movies and game, but I can’t justify the cost if I can only do one of those two things at a high end level.
Great work Sir,My question is two Tv compare sony A90J and A9G who is Best picture quality tv
This is really well done, man.
You're going from strength to strength B. Keep up the great work 💪
And the winner is ..... 77" A80J tremendous value in OLED panels. Great video answering the question many potential buyers have. Thanks!
Thanks “B” for the info I’ve been waking up at night in a cold sweat screaming ..A90J!!..the price of the 83 inch got me shook I was so close to dropping a whole bag for it but this comparison talked me off of the edge I’m good now 77 inch A 80 J here I come
Bravo, congratulations! Calif uh I mean a80j here we come lol
Well I’m was debating the A80J and the X95j LED and right now both are close in price. My concern over OLED reflection in bright rooms and image retention have me concerned a bit. But I keep hearing Thalia’s things are overblown. So I’ll be getting the 65 A80J. This video helped
Thanks so much for the great comparison. I'll go for the A80J based on this and will buy the remote in Amazon. 😀👏
Loving my 83" Sony A90J. Best TV I have ever owned!!
I looked at these today with my son & couldn’t see much difference, especially relative to the price. He just sent me your video, which we watched together. Seems like you saw little difference too, at least to justify the price difference. You helped clarify the purchase for me. Thanks! My only question now is will Sony be coming out with the upgrades for the gaming situations that you pointed out through an update?
I could not see much of a diff in the store either. I noticed it in home playing my content off of SSD hard drive.
Pretty minor difference but squeezing every bit of brightness out because of the heatsink is awesome. So it's more practical to get the a80j. The vrr is suppose to be here by end of year. Was same story last year tho... I don't care tho, you can game just fine 4k@120
@@BTheInstaller I wound up getting the 65 A09 for 2760 US killer deal well worth it IMO
I’m going for the A84J it has colour live enhancement that the A80J doesn’t have but identical and I already have a Sony 5.1 surround system with independent subwoofer so the better sound for A90J I wouldn’t benefit from.
This is the best review I have seen on the Sony A80J and A90J.
I just put and order in for the A80J but one thing that concerns me is imagine retention, i have read that the A90J doesn't suffer in this area because of the aluminium heat sinc?
Is this something you have noticed and should i be concerned about screen burn?
Is out of the box PQ on the a80j better than the lgc1? Great video by the way!
Yes it is
Just bought two A80j one 65” and 77” and had money to buy a Denon 4700 AV receiver for less than the A90j at 83 inches now that’s make sense
A80J ftw ❤️
65" A80J owner and i love it. But thinking of going for the 77" but the $2k difference is holding me back (canada). FYI you can turn off weather and time is google setting for the wallpapers, they look even better!!
Thanks for the great comparison video
Really Nice review! I have the A90J couple of weeks now. I must say that It takes a bit to get used to it because it acts differently than any other TV I’ve had. The highlights and how white (bright) the subtitles are because I use that a lot and gets exceedingly dark in dark scenes unless you push the luminance to high. Just takes a bit to get use to I never know what to expect.
Can you tell me how it looks watching sports? Do sports look dim when watching in a bright room?
@@gdmclean To me after the break in period The picture is truly remarkable on the TV with any programming that I watched including sports bright and vibrant. you won’t be disappointed I’ve had many TVs this one lives up to the hype.
Loved this comparison. I will likely get the 77” A80J as gaming isn’t an issue. One final comparison needed before I buy: Sony A80J OLED vs. Samsung QN90A QLED.
Bro you're Killin it!! Awesome video... Can't wait for the next live stream!!
2021 was supposed to be the year I upgraded my TV. I have been gaming for almost 40 years and the HDMI 2.1 is a big deal for me as well as VRR. Something is telling me to fix my old TV and wait one more year for SONY to fully get it together. No way all of those HDMI ports should not be 2.1 in 2021.
thank you for this - looking to upgrade to one of these sony tvs - A80J it is, and buy the backlit remote
Dude you have helped me tremendously. A80J for sure. Slight is not enough to make me pay $4000 for A90J.
Yeah man. For sure.
It’s a shame that Panasonic has quit the US Oled market.
They never got in to OLED that I recall. They left with the plasma technology. But I agree with your overall sentiment. I was always a fan of most things Panasonic made.
@@shanemb3 Well, they have. I think Panasonic’s Oleds are available in Japan and the UK.
really both are very good tv
Hello b installer
I love your channel for good reviews
I have one question
Which tv 55 inch I will buy between a89j and qn90b?? I am scared to maybe low brightness of Sony… thanks for answer😊
