I put the 65 inch a75L in my bedroom with an LG s75L soundbar. Lovely combination for a bedroom honestly
I own the 77 A80L and it’s great! I have it in my basement (so it’s in a dark room) and it looks amazing! I think it’s definitely bright enough for most people. For me the decision between the A80L and the competition came down to the processing, Sony XR clear is the best in the business! The only TV (when you factor in price) that really competes with the A80L and definitely beats it in some areas is the S90c, like in color saturation and brightness. But because the Samsung lacks Dolby Vision and its processor is just not on par with Sony’s I went with the A80L. One last thing, if you are looking for a 83in Oled and above tv, then I think the A80L is the best choice overall at that size.
DV is overrated.
For real - I was watching Ashoka on my 77” A80L the other night and had to turn down the brightness!
Is there any werid thing on the edges of characters or was it a faulty
I ended up getting the S89C which is 77 inch 2nd gen QD OLeD from Best Buy at $1799. This TV rocks and at that price is a better TV than the A80L. Processing is just fine on the TV and HDR and gaming content is absolutely stunning. Unless you’re simply watching old reruns in 480i the S89C will be the TV over the A80L.
You killed this review. I own the A80K in 65 inch and when watching acutal content (movies and TV shows) the Sony OLED blow the LG and Samsung units out of the water. The processing is just next level and a lot of reviewers miss this entirely - by relying on measurements alone. I don't find the 2x in cost for the A95L to be worth it - I'd rather have the A80L in 83"!
Great review once again, top stuff.
Nice! I picked up an A80L last year. Looking forward to the settings video.
Great video! I have the 65 A80L, can't wait to see your video on A80L settings.
This might be my favorite video of yours yet. I LOVED the TH-camTV part. I use it for my TV watching and it's not amazing quality. I've often wondered how other TV's look from the service. Other reviews might mention YTTV, but I love the time you dedicated to it. I hope it's something you keep talking about moving forward.
It’s tough to show because of copyright and whether or not it’ll get claimed despite it being fair use sometimes it just gets flagged and kills the entire video which is why most of us don’t even bother showing TV shows or movies unless it’s stills.
Great vid! I love this tv. I actually had Classy calibrate it, which made it even brighter. I actually had the LG C3 and was disappointed with the brightness. I found the A80l, in real world viewing, was definitely brighter.
Thanks for putting that line out about Rtings, you can't just rely on their measurements, it's all about the actual content you will be viewing. The XR processor with TH-cam TV and lower definition content is what makes the difference with this TV.
Thank you! Your review finally helped me decide to get the A75 version 😄! So excited 👏!! --I used your link too hopefully you get compensated for your work 🙏!
Thank you for the support. Best of luck with your A75L it’s an awesome TV
I’m so glad you did this video! I thought I was completely put off the Sony OLEDs, and sold on buying the S90C, but it all seems to come back around to how amazing Sony’s processing is across the board. As far as picture pop and colour vibrancy, is the A75/80L really THAT far off the Samsung QD OLEDs? If the Sony really does clobber Samsung in the upscaling/low bitrate department, and is still great and clear for gaming (I’m a PS console only gamer), I’d likely lean toward the Sony!
I got myself the a75l for Christmas. It's my first Oled tv and I really like it. I did have choice between this TV or the c3 but I chose the a75l since I do like the processing and Menus better on the Sony than LG (we have a c2 In living room).
I really enjoy my variety of games and movies on the TV and I was told the a75 had worst speakers and stand but I have a decent atmos soundbar and I have swivel stand mount so I wasn't hindered choosing the A75 for my room!
How do you like the a75L so far?
I'm trying to decide between a75L and c3 and it's reelly tough to decide. I've seen c3 is brighter but can have a greenish hue. Sony a little dimmer but much more true to life picture.
@@derekfrey3671 I've learned to like my a75l tv.
Yes as I've mentioned before the C3 would have been brighter but in the end the picture processing is just very good!
In the living room my family have a giant C2 to and movies do look good I won't lie but older content do look noticeably grainy on it and for SDR gaming (if it matters to you) is kind of poor on the C2 since when using Game mode to reduce input lag the Pixel peak brightness is locked to Off so playing non-HDR games looks quite dim on it.
I'm glad that on the A75l I don't have such brightness limitations when playing SDR content games. (Also side note if you have a ps5 and you select the audio output to Dolby Atmos on it, the TV can output in Dolby Atmos and it sounds quite nice on the onboard TV speakers.)
Sorry for long comment but all in all, I like that my movies and games (and TH-cam videos) look well balanced on ny A75l 🙂
Nice TV's. I would buy an A75L if it was made in 77inch. I chose a S89C in 77 inch and it is a game changer. QD OLED is just better than WOLED. It's like going from Carburetors to Fuel Injection
I had the a80l and returned it,it was to dim for me went with the s90c way brighter. But the Sony blows it away on the low bitrate content so it’s a trade off.
I like this TV and you sold me on it a while back. But I'm pretty deadset on going QD-OLED. I use a FireTV Cube 3 which has its own Super Resolution. I hope that makes up for Samsungs processing.
Almost like the A90J from a few years ago. 😊
I've had the A80L for a couple of weeks now. Wow! It looks so good. However, when watching TH-cam especially, the screen blacks out or blinks twice going into commercials and coming out of commercials. Any idea what that is all about?
Very helpful since I connect to an avr for sound anyway.
Just pulled the plug on the A80L in 55”. I’ve always had Sony tv’s growing up and I’m upgrading from a 2007 Bravia 1080P so I’m pretty stoked. Mainly gonna use it for the PS5 and watching sports. Great review
Thanks that’s a huge upgrade you are certainly going to love it!
@@TechWithKG you got a new subscriber. Keep up the good work
I keep RC off bc it causes some blur/smear effects in some stuff but It’s great for older games and animated content. Bravia core is the BEST but I wish their catalogue was bigger. If these bigger streaming apps adopted Bravia Core’s Pure Stream I’d definitely pay for it bc it’s s as close to a dedicated player you can get without having one or playing a rip
What's the link for the settings on the a80l? Thanks for your videos.
Reality creation is mind blowing. I run it in manual mode at 80% and it makes my Nintendo switch look almost 4K from the proper viewing angle. It is a game changing feature. It's like having DLSS in the tv.
This video reallly helped! I’m hoping the A75L/A80L goes on a deeper sale for the 55 inch
My biggest concern was brightness but in person at Best Buy it looks great and i have owned a Sony tv before and the game mode does seem to look better and that’s my main use is for ps5
Maybe it will!? It’s already currently the best 55” OLED TV deal at $1199 it be very interesting to see it go down further though
@@TechWithKG I’ve been so tempted at that price to putt the trigger, I have seen some open box for under 1k so maybe I’ll keep an eye out there…just prefer the A80L stand for the low profile lol choices
Love my 83” a 80l
Own a 77 inch and love it. What do you set reality creation to for movie watching?
Really depends what I’m watching most modern stuff I leave it at default 20, if I’m watching something a bit older I go for 35-40.
KG for President 🙌🏽
Great review KG! A80l is so tempting, but do you think it would have enough horsepower/brightness in a well lit living room? Coming from a 900f, which has trouble pushing through glare at times.
It’s hard to say if you have any light coming through and directly impacting the tv or even hitting it, a bright mini LED might be the way to go in those situations. 900F is around the brightness of the A80L, 900F peak is higher but it’s not significantly more maybe a 200 bit difference not that noticeable unless you’re talking SDR viewing 900F will look brighter for sure.
Processing matters much more then high nits spec numbers.
Sony 2024 lineup will be super interesting!
What is your choice between a80L and x95L
And then between your choice and s90c ?
Nice video. I am in the market for an 83". Which 83" is better Lg G3 or Sony A80L. Or should I wait for G4.
Color vibrancy and 3d like pop is must for me.
Thanks KG
Thanks! That’s a tough question right now the A80L is the best one as all the current 83” OLED TVs that are released use the same panel, so I give the edge to Sony for processing. G4 could be very good since it’s using MLA but it will be a lot more expensive than the A80L so if you wait you will be definitely paying more.
Hello .. i take my external drive with me to the agent to check how it works .. because this is my main use of the tv.. ( most of what i watch which is old comedy is 720p and lower) .. because i tried lg tv and it was a bad experience in the quality of the video.. but when i insert the hard drive it takes a very long time to open .. and i removed it before trying .. do you know what is the problem
Kg if you had to choose between the 80l or b7 for movies gaming what would you choose?
A80L
Great video KG, but how would you compare this tv with the Samsung S90C whhen it comes picture quality vs vaule? Which of these TV's do you like better and why? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thank you and great question. Both are great first of all you really can’t pick a bad TV in that scenario. Your really weighing brightness and newer panel technology with S90C vs Best processing and built in sound. There’s some shows that would look better on A80L but there are some things that will look more impactful with the HDR in the S90C. So it’s really up to you to decide what categories you favor the most.
Thanks
@TechWithKG thx for informatic video , I'm stock between 65 in A80L vs 75 inch X93L ,generally the blue hue over A80L bothers me but i cant Denay the the fact i need pure black as well . plz advice me
I don’t really notice a blue hue with the A80L personally, it really comes down to how far are you sitting down you need that 75 inches?
@@TechWithKG 65inch is good enough but having bigger size has emergence effect as well . btw i seat at 12 feet usually.
Yeah 12 feet is pretty far from the tv I think I’d actually go 75 x93l or if you have the space for it I’d probably be doing 85 X90L
Nice video!
77 inch A80J vs the A80L????
Lets go!! 😆 🤣
LG G3 or Sony A80L in 65" if they are close enough in pricing? Only to be used for OTT streaming & youtube. Need right balance of picture quality and sound (without soundbar for now).
G3 will be brighter for sure but Sony will have the clearer picture overall and I feel it has significantly better built in sound. Gotta figure out what matters the most to you.
@@TechWithKG thanks a lot for your response. I am inclined towards A80L since beginning of my search but brightness has been made such a big deal in review videos that I got confused and then LG G3 came in picture as comparison. But my preference still remains the picture quality and sound over brightness.
@@TechWithKG I have arrived on the decision that I will go for Sony for sure. So what would you recommend? 75" X90L or 65" A80L for OTT streaming (movies & series) to upgrade from 50" LED TV? My priority is picture quality and sound.
Do you think Sony will have other OLEDs later this year that have yet to be announced? Specifically, will they have an 83”? That size is missing with the Bravia 8. 👍
No I don’t see it and they are carrying over the 83” A80L as a 2024 model.
Could you do a settings video for these models? Would be appreciated.
If you look at my A80J A80K settings on this channel they will translate quite well, nothing has changed as far as settings adjustment values.
I'm watching movies and series via Apple TV 4K and 4K Blu-ray in a dark room. Which TV would you recommend going from an LG B7? The LG G3 or Sony A80L?
A80L
Thanks for this video new subscriber here. I just got a 55 and love it . I have an Apple TV 4 k on it and it automatically adjusted itself when I turned it on and I think it looks great. I am lost as far as what to do about settings though . I was disappointed There’s so much hate coming from some of the settings channels I knew about so do you all know any good settings. I’m new to all this so I am lost lol.
I have a settings video for Sony from last year that talks through every picture setting. That would still apply to these models.
Awesome thank you so much!
I want the A 80L as well. A true OLED. Ive heard some problems with QD OLED and to me they don't look as good anyway. I was going to wait for 2024s to drop to see if its worth it, or buy the A80L for lower price. However heard rumors that Sony is ditching oleds for mini led. Hope this isnt true. Anyone else hear that or have some inside information? Also does VRR really make a huge difference in gaming on ps5? I currently have sony 900E from 2017, besides picture of course, will i notice a huge difference in performance especially in gaming?
What did you end up getting? I have 900E from 2017 as well thinking about upgrading this year.
I got the A80L. I love it. After I made the settings to my liking it is amazing. Don't listen to that stuff about it not being bright enough. It's plenty bright for me. It was on sale at Best buy few months ago so I got it. Great TV, I love Sony products
I will be buying my first OLED and I can't decide between Sony A80L, LG C3 and Samsung S90C. I will be using it mainly for gaming. The C3 and S90C are both around $1300 and the A80L is around $1700. What's the best one between these three?
If its mostly just gaming perhaps the C3 may be better for you since all 4 hdmi ports have 2.1+VRR and has lowest input lag
S90c I think is brighter of the 3 but personally I just don't like samsungs menus+software updates
At the time I did have rhe choice between the c3 or a75l but I chose the a75l for the versatility (for me) since I do like Sonys picture processing and color and I like gaming and watching movies. But that's just me
I have the same problem! Between the A80L and S90C… What are you going to buy?
TG, where did u buy that beautiful stand??? Thanks
The stand for the tv is included with tv. If you meant the thing it’s on that’s actually a flexispot stand/sit adjustable desk with a bamboo top finish.
If you already have a A80K, is it worth getting a A80L or are they pretty much the same? Cheers KG
Probably not if its a one for one swap and no size upgrade is involved, only scenario I could see getting a A80L if I owned an A80K is if I wanted to put the A80K in another room and get a larger A80L.
Can you please do this style of video for the A95L?
I did a ton of content like an unboxing and overview for the A95L and most recently I did a full review it was in a similar style to this one. I also have a few comparisons with other top TVs.
@@TechWithKG Roger that.
Went to best buy earlier, wanted to check out the s89c, turns out they don’t have it in store. Anyway, I saw someone grabbing the a80l, couldn’t help but think they just saw this video. I did end up purchasing the s89c, even though I just recently got the a80l as well, but the damn deal is too good.
How does the S89C compare to the A80L?
@@frankcastle6298 don't know yet, it's being delivered this Saturday. But if it's like the s90c, which I'm being told it is, I love both the s90c and a80l.
Ok KG, knowing that you have an A80J give us first wave XR buyers the facts…..how much of a difference does this new XR clear image make upon comparing? Would upgrade your A80J for this for the “clear image” alone?
It’s great and it can make an impact as it cleans up the video well but if it’s the same size I would wait on the upgrade because the A80J still performs really up to par, only upgrade if you wanted a bigger size. My personal advice though is to wait to upgrade A80J is great.
Thank you for responding and with that I’ll wait till the next round of Sony lineups….both you and Classy seem to agree that its not that much of a difference with processing, everyone else overhypes the image clear feature.
Hi sir
Sony x90l 65inch
Sony a 80l 65 inch
Best tv please tell me
A80L between those 2 big quality advantage imo.
@@TechWithKG only the best tv
A80L or G3 for mostly cable tv (1080i), youtube and ps5 gaming. I have sound system so dont care about the speakers. Thanks
Oh and G3 in my country for 65 inch is 200 euro cheaper.
SONY ✌🏻
Hi, I am torn between the SONY A80L and SAMSUNG S90C.
Which one do you think is better??
Both in the 77” version!
What’s your main focus with your tv? What picture quality advantages are you looking for?
@@TechWithKG thanks for replying! I’m literally ready to go buy one tomorrow…
It’s for playing PS5 and also Nintendo Switch and I want to watch streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ so I want the best possible picture for future proofing. I will use a sound bar so I don’t care about the sound either.
(I don’t watch sports or cable/antenna TV).
I mainly watch/play in a darker environment but sometimes during the day but my living room only has one window at the side.
I plan on running a 2.1 fancy LED switch box so I can hook up LED lights around the tv that will sync with my PS5 content, therefore I will use 2x provided 2.1 HDMI ports for both my consoles - and because of this I will not be using the TVs onboard OS and I will stream and play everything through my PS5 - so I won’t need multiple 120ghz HDMI ports on the TV either I guess.
(Does that sound like a good plan?)
The only thing that worries me about the Samsung is:
•the reported motion stutter
•no Dolby vision
I know that the Samsung has the QD instead of Sonys W which seems like a better spec and also the Samsung seems to have the edge when it comes to gaming.
The Sony seems like it will be really smooth and no jitter when it comes to panoramic shots.
Samsung is slightly cheaper but that doesn’t bother me as I want to get the right one 👌🏻
I’ve had both a Samsung and Sony in the past and they were both great so it’s a difficult one…
Thanks for your time!
@@shoppingtrolley1869 Motion is definitely a strong suit with Sony, but Samsung isn't bad though. Your right the Samsung will give you more when it comes to gaming mainly because of the brightness and HDR impact of QD-OLED you also get this with HDR in general even outside of game mode QD-OLED is just really good in that regard. Sony will have the better image processing in regards to cleaning up the image but Samsung isn't bad there, Sony just gives you more options. No DV isn't really a big deal IMO as HDR 10 and DV should look fairly similar in most cases. If your utilizing 2 HDMI 2.1 consoles and you also plan to use e-arc for a sound device you'll need a sound device that has a hdmi 2.1 port on it with a pass through or a hdmi 2.1 switcher if you go the Sony route.
I say if you favor gaming and brightness go Samsung if you favor motion & image processing for content go Sony. Can't really go wrong with either IMO.
I was thinking of buying the A75L but am unsure of the size to get, i will be gaming and watching tv as well, my room is 12.5 feet long by 10ft wide and i will bet putting the tv on either end of the room. My viewing distance is 6 to 8 feet. I was thinking 55 inch because gaming might look better on a smaller screen, what do you think, or what would you do?
I dont like the stand on the A75L are there any other options off brand that I could buy?
For that distance I’d definitely be going 65”. Could you mount the TV? If not ever look into a rolling mount stand and then putting a desk or media cabinet in front of it? I think it’s a cool look. If not there are other tabletop options but they all look pretty basic.
@TechWithKG thanks for the help bro!
I’m deciding between a 55” A95L($2500) or A80L($1400). What do you think?
Sounds like your set on Sony if that’s the case between these it depends how much you want that extra brightness, there’s definitely a lot of pros that go with QD OLED. However the A75L for $1199 should be considered too if you already have good sound.
@@TechWithKG I went with the A95L, and it’s incredible!
@@Kung_Fu_Kenny Nice! Grats on an awesome TV it was by far my favorite TV last year.
@@TechWithKGI just bought an x85k 55 inches a few days before Super Bowl… I’m returning it next week for the 75l.. it’s 25% off from the original sticker price… I would love to get the 80l but no discount at all? Don’t care about the stand not being premium and the sound compared to the 80l, there is no such thing as perfect TV. Could use the $400 difference to buy something like a Sony stock ..upgrading from a Vizio 32 inch 720p bought 10 years ago lol…not a lot of reviews on the a75l I understand as it was just released late 2023 I guess, but I find your video helpful so thank you so much..
Yup A75L pretty much is an A80L in pictures quality. Huge upgrade for you from a Vizio grats!
it's so hard to choose from 83inch C3, A80l, and 77inch qd-oled Samsungs. 100% streaming content.
83” A80L for streaming content would be great and that picture quality will be hard to beat. Although 77” QD OLED will be brighter so it depends how much you desire a lot of brightness.
I was all set on 83in C3 until I came across your videos ! =) @@TechWithKG
Does this has Filmmakers Mode?
No but it has custom mode which is going to be close to a filmmaker mode you’re not gonna miss filmmaker mode
SDR 🔆 for the win 🙌
I have this tv it won’t turn on anymore after a month of using it
65" A95L or 85" X93L ? not sure I can go back to non OLED but I want 80+" TV without selling a kidney.
Between those 2. Always go 85 in that situation imo.
8:12 That’s a ton of black crush! Just comparing what I see on my S95C. You’re losing a lot of detail.
I needed to properly expose my camera for that scene that’s my fault I wasn’t able to showcase the shadow detail but it is a strong suit of the A80L. With S90C and S95C I found that I actually had to lower the shadow detail because it was a bit too bright in the shadows on my units I had out of the box.
Did u say. This is a “WOLED”. ??
This is a WRGB OLED yes
Where's the game mode?
It should automatically detect it when you connect but if it doesn’t when you are within an hdmi source just change the picture mode to game.
I like Sony but man A80L is just not competitive compared to G3 and S90C/S95C.
A80L is the same Price as G3 and S95C and that's a no go with 660 nits brightness.
Let's hope Sony A80M will deliver competition to S90D and G4
That’s real!
The A80L is not the same price as the G3 and the S95C, those two TVs are about 1000.00 more than the A80L at the same size.
You will have a much better experience buying the Samsung 77S89C QD-OLED for $1800 over any WOLED tv. Why pay $900 more for the 77A80L which will be dimmer and less vibrant?
Agreed. The S89c/S90c is superior to this Sony and less expensive. A no brainer really.
Why would purist by Samsung?
Had the A80L for two weeks. Processing is great but it’s way too dim. The C3 is much better in that regard.
C3 isn’t usually as bright as A80L in content, and most of the time their brightness can look similar but there’s never a time where the A80L is significantly dimmer so you must have not maximized the brightness somehow only thing I can think of is maybe you had one of the eco settings enabled or the light sensor.
Sorry, KG! But AVForums agreed with rtings. Classy had the C3 set to 80 out of 100, and the A80l maxed out. In hdr AVForums said that the A80L dimmed the brightness down to maintain detail and was too dark. I noticed that you put the c3 up against other tvs to bash their sdr gaming, yet with the sony, you gave it praises without putting it up against the other tvs in a side by side comparison. Question? You couldn't recommend the c3 because of the s90c being priced the same. How is the a80l being priced a higher-priced television a great recommendation when lg's processing is so close to sony's? Multiple sources reported this fact. So is the a80l really worth the price hike or the competition? Is the a75l better than the c3 as well because it was priced the same as the s90c and c3?
