C1, A80J, or is there a better TV for the money? Let me know...
I.ll be getting 55inch LG CX6.It.s 2020 model,has 120hz screen,performs 99% like they both and is much more cheaper!
In Poland ofr example, 55'' C11 goes for 1000euro on offer right now, while a80j for about 1700. How is that even competition, really?
I wouldn't say that the amount of time you game is the important factor but what kind of games you play. The LG has much better gaming features like VRR but also has MUCH lower input lag than the Sony which will greatly affect FPS, Racing, fighting, and any other type of game that greatly benefits from accurate timing. You can see that the LG, in every review, updates the picture before the Sony. Being a gamer, and having seen both TVs side by side, I can say that I would easily get the LG, and I am. The PQ on the Sony is slightly better but only noticeable when they are side by side. They are that close. Being that the picture quality is so close and the gaming features of the LG are just so much better, if you game AT ALL I'd recommend the LG.
Sony A80J! I care more about picture quality and not how many inputs it has or if it has vrr. I only have a Ps5 so two 2.1 hdmi ports is fine!
Is there any difference with a larger size (77inch)? Are they both easy to mount on the wall?
This was such a perfectly frank and informative review, thank you so much!
I've had my 65" LG C1 for 3 months now and I don't regret it, watching movies in dolby vision is amazing!
Thank you, definitely made my mind up as I game a lot. Brilliant review!
I got a C1 and it just got a big update this morning to support Dolby Vision 120hz & a reworked game optimizer tab so glad I bought it!!
Hey any update on this?
Ordered the A80J 77 from Crutchfield. All the credit goes to your videos. These manufacturers need to be hooking you up on product for reviews. Best in the business besides Vincent Teoh. Very different but complementary styles of information.
How much did you pay for it? I saw it for $3500 just now on Best Buy.
Basically Sony's A80J is made by LG Oled lol so LG is making money from both sales^^
How so? I'm really intrigued!
This video was really well thought out. Good arguments. Awesome watch!
great job implementing standard def, as that is what most are still watching. thankyou. i had to send the hisense u8g back two days after i got it cause the upscaling and motion was so bad.
Great review with detail and option setting. Thank you bro 🥰
You can't go wrong with either. As of late Sep and early Oct 2021, both sets have come down in price and are comparable. 55" $1500, 65" $1800, and 77" $2800. The sweet spot in terms of price and performance seems to the the 65" as it is only $300 more. Going up to 77" involves a $1000 more.
Crazy how fast 77 inch oled price is dropping. Just a few years ago they would cost 10-20k lol
@@kachow5830 77 inch c1 still costs around 6.5/7 grand in Australia
You also lose PPI.
Which is why i go 55"

B you are the best person to judge the best tvs. I envy you because you see so many fantastic ones. U give honest opinions about all of them from budget mid range to premium. Keep doing what you do bro I'll be checking your vids and livestreams whenever you post. You FOMO and Channa and Brian are the best guys doing the thing.
Great comparison discussion . You actually put things simple to understand. Other channels just get too technical to understand. Thanks man!
Got our 65A80J today. B you were a big part of my decision to go with the Sony OLED instead of G1. Amazing display. Looking forward to put omit through its paces. The 65A90J out of my budget. 🤭 Thanks for the great work you do.
Thanks for your reviews. Saturday before last I ordered an LG C1 83 from Robert Zohn at Value Electronics. I also ordered a Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player. I game a little and this will be in a mostly dark room. Very excited! I'm coming from a DLP 1080p TV. :-)
Just subscribe.
I'm very glad that you cover in your reviews one of the most elementary thing. Upscaling SD/HD content from cable box or antenna is what many of us are interested in, since that is still the way how most of the world primarily watch their tv's.
The reviewer covered this clearly , LG if you’re a gamer and the Sony if not.
Cable tv is 720 resolution , very poor quality so don’t expect miracles with any TVs set....
Most people I know stream 4K content, Netflix, Disney plus, HBO Max, etc.
Either one of these TVs will be better than what you currently have
@@tears2040 My cable company provides 1080i, and cable is 70 percent of my viewing. I am buying the 77 inch Sony A80J, and I am hoping the Sony's upscaling abilities will give me a decent picture so I can keep it. { UPDATE} I bought the 77" A80J and the picture Quality out of my 1080I Cable DVR is as good as a Blu-Ray Player, beautiful picture and no motion artifacts, even when watching sports. Sound is excellent also, no need for a soundbar. When viewing movies, I switch to my AV system.
Update: The Sony A80J does an excellent job of upscaling, and viewing fast moving sports are judder free. But I did not like the way Sony's picture algorithm over brightens faces. But using the Custom mode setting turns off Sony's face recognition, and now watching TV shows or movies from my cable DVR box is almost 4K quality.
Always appreciate your stuff but your presentation skills are getting even better. Cheers.
Thanks B ! Really enjoyed your comparison.
Literally the best tv review I’ve seen. Awesome job! You covered everything and real world results
This is such a great review. I think I‘ll go with A80J 77 inch as soon as it comes out in Taiwan.
Man this helped a lot. I’m torn about what to buy. Being a gamer maybe 50 percent of usage. It helped me lean towards the LG. Plus I really originally wanted the G1 but prefer the 83inch which the G1 doesn’t come in.
Awesome review! Especially when you spoke on how Game mode looks on both. It's a very important detail most reviewers don't speak on enough... 😉👍
Great comparison, thank you for the content! I was looking for a high refresh QHD monitor for my my home office/man cave. After stumbling on a comparison of the C1 to a gaming monitor, I was sold on OLED. This video really helped to seal deal on the C1. I will be gaming mainly and I think regardless of which one I choose I will be more than satisfied with the image quality and motion handling. Also, nice to have the 48 inch option on the C1. 55 will be much too large for my office. Can’t wait to unbox my first OLED!
keep an eye out on the burn in...Keep that feature on.
It truly is amazing for movies and gaming I love playing at 120 fps with 1 ml second of input lag I have the 65 inch for my Xbox series X and soon I’m building a gaming PC for it I tried the A80J as well and by far the LG shits on the Sony in every way and I’m a Sony fan only tv that’s better for movies at least is the A90J but lacks what LG can do for gamers
@@philindeblanc burn in is a thing of the past that’s not a issue anymore hasn’t been since the C9 oled and up ppl put up to 12k hours on there LG oleds and still have zero burn in pc gaming can cause it but only if your leaving it on the Home Screen of a pc with all those apps and icons being displayed all day everyday but there’s features to get around that from happening
@@RagingGrinch-TechGaming thats good to know. It is no concern in my use.
This was a great review. Fast paced and fun
Thanks a lot for the review, I feel know more confortable with the choise to do. Wish you good continuation, (From France).
Excellent video! 👍🏽 hit every point here, couldn’t have asked for a better walkthrough and representation, SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks dude. Found your channel when I found out our home being built has space for a 100" tv.. I really liked the a90j but decided on the a80j 77" based off your reviews. The wife approves.
Does the A80J have the remote that lights up? Or is that the LG?
@@robertomurri1278 only the a90j has remote to light up
LG C1 is my first OLED. Definitely mouth opened every time I turn it on
For sure. It's great.
@@BTheInstaller thanks to you and the other TH-cam creators for the info and help! Would’ve gone for the A90J but for the price and only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports killed it. Like you said, it all depends on your needs!
Should I return my c1 for the a80j
@@Michael-bm4tg unless you manage to get it cheaper than the C1 and you’re not a gamer
I purchased the 65" C1. My first OLED as well. Great tv! Gaming on xbox series x is amazing. I only want to play games optimized for the series x. Borderlands 3 is awesome! I also like playing Dirt 5. I will have the tv professionally calibrated after 100+ hours.
Been comparing the two 77" model's stats for a week now trying to decide and this video was very helpful. No gaming here at all, TV will sit on furniture rather than wall mount, and I will be adding a sound bar so Sony it is. Thanks, B, for the help.
Yeah, i own a C9 and for me its shit that i have to wall mount the tv to use a Dolby atmos sound bar.
Sony stand is more thought out and i hope LG can come up with a solution because this is ridiculous. Who doesnt use a sound bar?
Great job. Your videos are getting much better and I like when the crew gets together. Keep it up.
I Honestly Would Say that you can’t go wrong with either TV. I got the A80J and even that Gaming wise BLOWS MY MIND the color and HDR are truly astonishing.
@@oldb3139 Did you experience this yourself? I only saw this from HDTV test's comparison between C1 and A80J. Other reviews and the general consensus is that the A80J has stunning picture quality while gaming, despite lacking some of the features available on the C1.
@@zenful7487 no I saw and gamed with both the A80j and lg C1 in person .I have the A80j and a buddy of mine has the c1. They both played exactly the same there was no noticible difference in the feel between the two BUT the A80j definitely had more pop and more detail. The highlights were brighter, the HDR had a more impactful effect, detail in many areas was more noticeable on the Sony. Overall the gaming experience was better on the A80j because as I mentioned they felt exactly the same but the Sony looked better
@@miguelp619 i think the real edge the C1 has is in its Next gen gaming features. Im more of a mixed user these days, and frankly you’re lucky to get a full 4k 60 in modern games. 120fps seems to be reserved to multiplayer/competitive games which I dont care too much for.
@@zenful7487 I do Love the options the C1 Gives you, if that is what you want in your TV. I also think it Shines best with the Series X. Although I already have a Pretty Great PC Setup, so the option for home console was picture quality over features.
@@zenful7487 same here. I have been playing games on the A80J and I haven’t noticed my screen dim once
Yeah but buddy! This is the video I've been waiting on! 😁
Hey B i really like your videos, you go to the point and in a simple customer language, sometimes i get lost with all this high tech words that some reviewers use .
Thanks for the comparison and advice!
Thanks man, further cementing my confidence to purchase the 65 inch A80J for my surround sound room. Can't wait for the movie and live sports experience!
yes absolutely awesome great picture quality damn too bad my main use is mostly all gaming i would say 75% gaming and the rest movies,sports,TV shows,streaming all that. I already picked up the c1 65 inch great tv either way you go its going to be great.
I actually brought both last week, C1 for my games room and the Sony for my living room 👍
For what?Sony dont have games?
Out standing review.Great job B.
Thanks B, always helpful and entertaining. I woulda hit you up to install if I still lived in SD. A80J it is
Both look great. Very tough decision im still going back and forth on. Only having two 2.1 ports is an issue for me for the future proofing of the Sony and I do game but probably only 25% of the tv use. Going to look again. My only other concern with the Sony is the eARC issues some people complain about primarily with the Series X which I have.
Which one did you go for
@@Snufz760 LG C1. 65 inch. Love all the features. Series X looks amazing in it and movies just blow your mind
@@davva360 I also have it in 65 since 4 days, it's a disaster this Tv 😨 I'm returning it tomorrow.
@@geraltyen9847 wow why? Want to pick it up for my x sx and ps5. My bro have c1 in 55 and games runs great but tbh i dont see big difference over my Qled
@@krzysiekzmora1422 If you want to use TV for PC and gaming console ... your going to want the LG C1, CX, or G1. DO NOT GO WITH SONY! I just got the 55 inch G1 model very pleased with it after returning a Sony. Plus you can enable G-Sync (G-Sync not available in any Sony) and the LG models maintains 120hz which the Sony has issues with and issues with eARC ... etc. I returned a 55 inch Sony XR model because it doesn't maintain the 120hz, which you want 120hz to keep for your frame rates up.
A80J all the way. 77 inch is on my wish list , black Friday or sometime in march next year i'll buy one ... man all those tv's .. freaks me out .. thanks for the upload.
if my main use wasn't gaming I would definitely go for the sony a80j . but my main use is gaming I would say like 75% gaming and the rest movies,sports, shows.
Smart man, wait for the price to be right. I bought the a9g 77" open box for 2500 with warranty and taxes
@@eman1549 damn 2,5,00 😳for a 77 inch? that is absolutely amazing 👏.
@@ernestohernandez9370 yessir. I had two choices the z8h 75" open box was 3100 taxes and warranty. The Sony rep was tryna convince me to buy that one and although the picture was beautiful, the tv itself wasn't seXy like the q900ts. The a9g however is freakin stunning. He plugged it up and showed me all the videos and demos he had on it. He couldn't believe the price BB was giving me it for when I told him, he said no brainer and stopped talking about the z8h
@@eman1549 damn you got such a awesome deal I would of bought that with out any hesitation at all. wow a 77 inch oled for 2,500 that sounds like a dream 😆. I wish I could get a deal like that 😕. I just bought the the lg oled c1 65 inch for the same amount. my room is pretty small so I don't even know if a 77 inch would be a good Idea but still I would try it out lol.
Nice video.really good illustration of the matte type screen
Thank you so much
I was in such a battle between C1 and A80J
And you clarified everything
I appreciate your hard work and hopefully we’ll see more amazing stuff coming from you
Much love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I currently have a 46 inch XBR 4 from 2007. It is in a room with the windows all around. It has an extremely matte finish and thus very little reflection from the surrounding windows. Picture is superb. I find the gloss of the newer TVs extremely distracting. Would be great if you could do a video on the best TVs for bright room conditions.
The Qn90A is great for reflections but a pain in the butt to setup
No tv from 2007 has "superb" picture quality. You could get any low budget offering today and it would mop the floor with that.
@@Polyfusia lmao
I talked to a Sony tech yesterday about the VRR support and it is a thing as of now, it will come via a firmware upgrade when you update your A80 OR A90J, so now it just comes down to the fact that the LG C1 has more 2.1 ports.
Still waiting. I bet they are waiting for 2022 panel releases now, which is bs.
Ordered the C1 as game frequently, awesome sets both of them. Thanks for the vid :)
I like that you show actual footage of live tv/movie content unlike some other reviewers. One mentioned seeing judder issues on the A80j vz C1, before I buy A80j wanted to see if you’ve seen it?
Both TVs are good but Sony A80J wins. I am going to buy Sony A80J
San Francisco
Lg c1 in this video is not pictures calibrate, lg has bad factory pictures mode.lg with calibrated picture have better picture than sony
I bought the 65 A80J, and it's incredible. Thanks for the reviews, B.
Saw it in magnolia yesterday and its amazing actually. Im assuming only High Rollers will buy the A90j. I didnt see a two thousand dollar difference I know that. Its C1 and A80J for tv of the year
Good stuff man...thx for the wicked showdown!
Great comparison! Thanks
Can’t wait to get the A80J 77” and the backlit remote that comes with the 90 haha! I don’t game at all so this is the perfect TV for me! Thanks for helping me make my decision! I appreciate it!
That's a winner
@@BTheInstaller thanks again, brotha! I’m pairing it with a pretty solid surround system and dual SVS SB-3000 subs. After 12 years of the “small” (50”) plasma and tiny front LCR speakers, I deserve it haha!
@@BTheInstaller just ordered my 77” A80J! I was able to find it for $3,097 out the door, no tax and free shipping! It wasn’t purchased on the “grey market.” It’s brand new from an authorized dealer and comes with the factory warranty. I’m feeling like a king right now haha! It might take longer than to get here than it would if purchased through Amazon, but for a savings of about $700, I’m good with it! Thanks again for your help, man! I appreciate you! Can’t wait to get it!
@@jasonleonard4529 how are you liking it
@@fishels3895 it’s the best TV I’ve ever owned by far.
I’m more inclined towards the A80J/A90J > C1/G1. I think the move will be waiting until Black Friday for the 2021 Sony sets to drop in price *(namely the A90J)* and for Sony to FINALLY drop VRR support for the A80J & A90J, which should have been included out of the box. As a gamer, that turns me off about Sony’s Bravia TVs. Hopefully, they get that sorted out before 2021 ends. Great presentation and extremely comprehensive as always. Keep up the great work! 💯
I am doing the same. Going to wait for blackfriday to grab A80J
@@ambiven10 I ended up getting the LG C1 two months ago and it was the best choice I could have made.

these reviews are everything! this is so helpful for my purchase! thank you!!
Thank you! I am not a gamer so I'll go for the A80j. Another point for the Sony is the DTS support 😉
you can always pipe your audio direct from source to your sound system vs the tv. As long as the receiver can play it it will do DTS.
And LG cant read exfat
Awesome video!! Your reviews are always on point. I think all of the fellow subscribers will be patiently waiting for the A90J vs A80J comparison. I’m looking for the best bedroom TV. I don’t game in the bedroom.
On a side note: Are you getting the Hisense U9DG? Can’t wait to see what Hisense brings to the table VS Sony.
There is no comparison.
Hisense?! Lol against Sony?! Not even close Sony blows any Hisense out the water
Such a fantastic video, exactly what I needed before making this decision. Really clear and concise breakdown, entertaining too! Can't wait for my A80J 😝
Love how you used the same image/movie for a side by side comparison.
Just picked up the C1 which is my first LG. Had my Sony Bravia for over 8 years and time to upgrade. Where I am the price difference b/w the A80J vs C1 was over $400! Easiest decision to make and I've been very impressed with the picture quality of the LG.
How is the TV brightness with a window open?
@@Mustangracerx2005 it's plenty bright..... Even with HDR/Dolby Vision..... You just have to get the settings right..... Brightness isn't everything..... However, it is important...... Personally have the 65 inch C1 and it's a monster 👍
I do want to mention that the sony is brighter but overall C1 wins it for me
I have to agree with ILAC..... The price difference is too much
@@a355725 I ended up getting a 65 inch c1. The first 3 days was a change from a sony x900h I have. Mainly the brightness. But after the 3 days it's not a issue. Even with a big bright window open the TV looks great.
What are your thoughts on A80J's motion artifacting and stuttering/juddering while panning as described by some reviewers?
Great review. Love the price info. Thanks for all the effort! Newly subscribed 🤘
Absolute great comparison! Great Job!
you are a great reviewer. Not only the review, but also the way you talk.
Agreed, hes my favorite
The glossy finish sold me on the LG. I don't know why, but it seems to add just that extra bit of sharpness to the picture over a matte screen.
Supremely helpful video mate - thank you very much indeed! Love your presentation style too
Very good review; the side by side [or top & bottom] is priceless.
Damn it....as soon as I think I have my TV picked out....you release another video! I was locked and loaded on the LG CX
Get it now! It’s a great deal as long as supply lasts
I wouldn't get the CX. No details in near-black content. It's unbelievable actually...
Brandon talks about the CX positively in his reviews and live streams. The CX is a great deal and not much different from these 2021 TVs. Most people would be happy with the CX, C1, or A80j. Yes they all handle near black differently, so if you have a strong preference, that may force your hand one way or another.
Neither of these TVs are worth their current premium over the CX while it's still available. Of course, if money is not an issue, just get the A90J.
@@reyoktayhan my cx didn't crush near blacks out of the box.
Hey B, the videos are getting better each week. Thanks for the info. It looks like the A80J is on my list of top pics for Black Friday or Prime Day. I hope the X95J is out before then, so we can get a side by side.
Yeah I was at Best Buy yesterday looking at A80J vs 950H. They seemed to have the same picture except when it came to the highlights and particle effects... The OLED just popped those out of the screen and 950H looked flat. Otherwise same picture
@@Bradli 950h ALWAYS looks horrible in comparison to any Oled its up against IMHO. I would go Oled or X900h at the right price. X90J is overpriced right now so thats out
@@eman1549 ......A number reviewers say that if you’re putting a television in a bright room the the 950H or X95J is preferred over an OLED. I’ve decided to get the X95J when it comes out.

Thanks for all your videos. I purchased the Sony A80J and love it. I’m not a gamer and primarily watch movies/Netflix/Xfinity tv.
Hey!
I just received ma Sony too. Do you suggest to register the tv with Sony? Is it worth it?
Congratulations, How was the panel uniformity?
Yeah register it. You only have 1 year from registering to get the 5 movies on Bravia core
@@bobafet5363 yes I would in case of future issues.
I mostly game than watch content thats why I purchased the 77 inch oled C1
What killed it for me was the only 2 hdmi 2.1 ports and one of them is a eAC meaning u really only have one hdmi 2.1 port not good for me since I game on laptop and have ps5 and xbox
Thanks for another great analysis video. So for me, I'm deciding between the 77 or 83 inch. Since the A90J 83 is out of my budget, the only choice is the C1 if I ultimately choose that size. But if I were going 77in I would go with the Sony. I game, but not enough that I need the VRR or the additional HdMI 2.1 ports.
Get the lg man. You'll love it.
Thank you, Sir. Your review helped me decide to go with A80J.
please be the first one to do a video on the new 'next-gen' tuner, that is my #1 deciding feature on my new tv.
A80J When you get the Biggest screen You get a Glossy Screen one of My brothers have the C1 76 & my Dad has A80J 76 & the screen type makes a difference & A80J is Clear winner & We Calibrated Both ♤
Great review! Clear reasons for recommendations and great amount of detail. C1 for me but only because of that Nvidia support. The new crop of Sony's really are impressive.
Just bought the C1 77 and absolutely love it... Thanks for the content!!!
Looking at this tv. How have u liked it so far??
@@a.d.c7941 I love it... the picture quality is incredible 👌
@@kenyates144 I agree. I am trying to get use to the settings and finding the best settings.
Thanks for such a realistic review 👍
I owe the a80j 77 & game a lot on it. Imo, it looks great & I can’t wait for those extra features to come, hopefully sooner than later
owe it to whom?
Nice bro I own the 77 inch oled C1 i mostly game and needed the hdmi 2.1 because I game ps5 and xbox and pc so I need more than 1
The sony has 2 hdmi 2.1 ports one of them being a EAC port
Meaning u only limited to one hdmi 2.1 port
Thats why I ended up getting the 77 inch oled C1 instead
Aren’t Sony’s 2020 models still waiting for VRR AND ALLM?
@@rickybobby6605 Just VRR X900H the 8K LED Z9G Z8H all got ALLM last November still waiting for VRR the 2021 Bravia all have ALLM mode out if the box.
Not waiting for firmware to update features. I returned my 900H for that reason.
That matte finish actually helps with not seeing yourself with lights on
Why is that a good thing? When the TV is on you can't see yourself, right?
The tv is not meant to be watched with the lights on and even with the lights on I can't see myself on the screen unless I stand very close to the tv and no one would want to stand that close anyway and also if the tv is wall mounted there is zero chances of you seeing yourself in it. Glossy screens will always provide a better picture quality than a semi glossy one. It's a very well known fact.
Nice I love the review thank. Also what animation movie were you playing looked pretty good
Nice comparison. The only thing holding me back on the sony is the earc . I need a tv with sound that doesn't drop out and mess up when connected to a receiver. They have had problems in the past. I realize it would be difficult to hook up a surround system when reviewing these sets so no reviewers ever test this. Gaming functions don't interest me but lg has never had problems with earc and their internal apps for movie watching in Dolby atmos.
I thought I had got a bad surround system I didn't know about this
Good news for the Sony A80CJ that is sold by Costco. Trying to hunt down how it differs from the Sony A80J, I found this from Sony Listens "The only difference is that the A80CJ has a 3-year limited manufacturer's warranty while the A80J only has a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty". That makes my choice pretty easy.
Great review! I can't really comment on the Sony as I haven't seen it in person but I bought the 55" C1 last Friday, it's my second OLED I have a C9 in our family room. The C1 was bought for my basement, mainly for gaming and man oh man it is amazing. GG am ok my performance is superb. I really love the new motion remote way better than the C9/CX remote and the pointer is way more refined and precise, it feels so much more accurate when pointing at to things on screen. Love the new native gaming settings and I love the fact that when I play games the C1 doesn't have the annoying flash when instant gaming response would come on like with the C9/CX. Speakers are great way better than my C9. So happy with my purchase, loved my C9, but I'm definitely happier with my new C1. Dolby Vision IQ is great to have too.
That's great to know. Ninjician av had same. Probably has good info on that same transition.
Wow! I bought the 55" Sony A80J for my mother for Christmas at the end of 2022 for $1K at Bestbuy. If you can wait (over a year), you can really get a great deal on a dope TV.
Cool review! Thanks!
Think Sony have added VRR support for the A80J and think it's way better for SDR (upscaling of sub 4K content) which I would say it's a great benefit as a lot of content like a lot of streaming stuff, Switch, any console before PS5 and XBX and so on is sub 4K.
Sony also added HGIG at around the same time from what I understand. LG's gaming lead has been whittled so much, and Sony's upscaling/processing advantage has made it a subjective/situational thing even fore pure gaming. Also the C1 is 50% more expensive in my market here in 2023, so my decision was pretty much made for me.
Can't wait for my A80J to get here, TotK on a huge OLED screen, hnnnnng.
I went with the A80J... I do game alot and do have a PS5 and Xbox Series X. I don't PC game at all. But just because I'm a gamer. I also gotta look at the bigger picture. I'm a family man with 2 kids. We watch alot of movies, and shows. I felt the A80J was just the better overall pick for my money. I can wait for VRR. I'm sure Sony will get it working eventually. I don't have a reference point with VRR. So I think I'll be just fine till it gets updated into the TV. This is my first oled. And I'm absolutely having a blast. Thank you for helping me make a decision. I'm glad I went with this over the LG C1.
This would be my first OLED as well. I'm still undecided because of the burn in. I don't want my TV to last just 5 years or so.
Excellent review! Even tho VRR is now available on the A80j, unfortunately we won't know how it fairs with the PS5 until it receives the VRR update. At that point I would be curious to see if it makes a difference.
Saw the Sony and LG on display at my local store. I was blown away by the Sony's picture quality.
Same...i was stuck between both until I saw the picture in person. Sony won hands down, which sucks cause I leaning towards the LG for gaming options
Bought the Sony :) My 4th Bravia
Don’t ever compare TVs in a shop. Firstly, they are in ‘display mode’, which create unnatural looking pictures that are oversaturated and bright. Second, they are not calibrated. Out of the box one might be better than the other but both screens need to be calibrated in order to be compared.
@@Emaratilfy Sony are better even after calibration the Sony custom mode is better than LG filmmaker mode.
Great video!! As a guy who's looking to buy his first oled mainly for gaming......looks like it's the C series for me.
Especially now that they are on sale you can get a 65 inch C1 for $2099
@@hgonz14 only $1800 now on amazon (plus I'm getting 10% back using my Amazon card). My 65" C1 arrives tomorrow, as gaming tech in it trumps the Sony.
@@KevinFelker yes and that is a steal. I was going to wait until now to buy it but I bought it in July as I was off work until November so I was willing to sacrifice $300 to play with it all day as now I am back to work
Dude it's totally worth it at any point. Was good deal at 2100. Great deal at 1800
Finally waited your review. Family room watching daily TV sports f1 movies at night and no console connected. A80j. The reflection on the LG would drive me nuts. Seeing it blurred seems better to me. As it less of a spot on the screen but more blurred out. I tend to focus on such spot on the TV reflection. Also wondering if kodi runs on this set?
2.1 ports can fill up fast as it becomes new standard. Game console, Apple TV and an audio device and you have used three. I’m personally not a fan of the smart tv options and prefer to hook up my own device. A80J is tempting but since I can’t buy a new set every couple of years LG may offer the most growth for future needs. The joys of great option! Nice job b!
2.1 only matters when gaming
Hardly anything requires 2.1 bandwidth.. Neither Apple tv or Highend en Bluray players use it.. even Xbox Series X would look way better at 4k 60fps than with full 40Gb bandwidth due to the hardware limitations.
Great video, I think you nailed it. To me it comes down to how much someone games on a tv to decide between these two. I agree I would get the A80J at 77” since I’m not much of a gamer, but I’m really wanting a 83” hope you’re clearing out a room for the side by side battle of the 83s 😂
im in the same boat. I would totally get the a80j but may have to pay for the a90j since i want 83 inches
I am also waiting for the battle of the 83" TVs. I might have to go with C1 since it is currently $2000 less at 83". I am not buying to black Friday, so we will see if the two TVs are closer in price by then as well.
@@Bunbunnyart that A90J price tag is hard to swallow
@@briant7666 that’s my plan as well, wait and see what Black Friday brings. If I don’t like the deals then I’ll wait until the 2022 models start coming out.
@@shanemumaw3709 same here, I will snap the A90J 83" only once it drops to 5000 $ at least. Else will go for the A80J 77"
Bought the Sony 77 A80J, Appreciate the review!
Bought the A80j from Best Buy on May 2. Scheduled delivery and install today, may 15. Little did I know Best Buy somehow cancelled my delivery due to a system issue they had. Now I have to wait a few more days with my rescheduled install for next Friday. 🤦♂️
I game a lot on my tv. So I'd go with the LG C1 personally. All though... I wonder how big the jump is in terms of visuals going from my LG C7 into the C1 beside 120hz and g-sync.
Any tips would appreciated.
I totally agree with your final assesment. I currently own the LG C1 and have loved it, but Sony has taken it to an even higher level if you can believe that?! I am moving and have opted for the Sony and it's getting installed with a Mantel Mount system that will enhance my viewing pleasure. I can't wait!
It's not worth it. Side by side, you won't see much of a difference.
Colors on C1 are much better, more natural, but thats for movies and such. Also the Sony highlights are BLOWN out.
@@philindeblanc not at all bud.
Now, in June, how do you like it?? I'm torn between these two TVs at the moment and I'm a gamer most of the time. But I've heard the picture quality on the Sony is so much better
Sony is using LG OLED screen.
I hope you know that.
I ordered the Sony A80J. It will be my first 4K TV. I still have my Panasonic plasma from way back, not sure why, but I love it. It will go in a spare bedroom. Sony has the A80j on sale for $1399. Thanks for the review.
You hit the nail on the head and those are the reasons why I have gone for the A80j
I really like a point you made during one of the livestreams recently. If you game 50 percent or more on your OLED, obviously the Sony A80J is out. If you watch movies 50 percent or more, then you have a choice between the two.
would the A80J be good for a room with 8 windows
@@TechCody113 can you control the light? When do you watch night or day? There’s many variables. Me personally, I wouldn’t with 8 windows, that would be tough in daytime but night time watching wouldn’t be an issue at all
@@Kapono5150 i thought about getting the Q80T because price is so cheep and has 2.1 hdmi, but people keep saying had ghosting problems with games, others said they switched something off and fixed it others said they never had any problem from beginning so tf LOL about to throw all my shit away🤣🤣
