Finally the pro review 👍
Finally, I can´t wait for your Review of the A80J! :)
Looking forward to seeing the A90j vs A80j
This is such a beautiful TV
Bruh.
I just took mine home yesterday. Couldn’t put it up until later on in the evening and barely had a chance to mess with it but damn…. It is gorgeous so far
A80J vs C1 would be neat!!!!!
Also motion in comparison as well as processing.
Vincent, you should take a look at the new miniled iPad display. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Good idea
@hdtvtest yes please
Its miniLED, it’s crap, wait until they make a OLED
Lots of blooming.
@@hanes2 Mini LED isn't crap it's better than normal LED
Vincent, What's your opinion on the matt screen compared to the glossy one on the 77"? Does it affect the viewing much in a daytime open curtain environment?
Even I want to know
I’ve seen the 65” and the 77” in person at Best Buy and the 65” with the matt screen looks cheaper compared to the 77” with the glossy finish. Saving up for Black Friday or a possible second Prime Day in October to get my hands on this 77” model
@@lpromer4796 best buy has a pretty good sale right now actually, same on Amazon.
@@norbertorodriguez004 I know, but the only thing holding me is the burn in risk and the geek squad warranty that is suppose to cover that is like $350 more for only 2 years. $600+ for 5 years, that’s a lot of money
@@lpromer4796 you won't get burn in. The possibility of this is very slim. Unless you living room is an airport that broadcast news all day.
Rocking the 77” variant. It’s god tier. Haven’t had a single issue with it in the past month
The larger the OLED the more you can see the banding/vignetting issues, I’m curious how is your 77” A80J fair in that regard? I went with the 65”A80J but I may switch it up for the 77A80J
I would hope not too! ... My C9 77" has over 3000 hours without a single issue :)
@@MrWinnieP My 77" CX has almost perfect banding, and is only getting better. I use it all day, and have only once seen a short (5 sec) "burn in" so far.
You guys are way off. My A90J 65'' takes the cake. 😄
Same
The Bloody EU interfering with Everything, They spend all their time making up stupid rules and regulations... after seeing the A80J Vs A90J, it's very easy to see the extra brightness, just still feel completely disappointed that I can't buy a A90J in 77 inches.....
I just upgraded from a 55” x900e to a floor model 65” a80j I was able to snag for a song with no visible defects and I am absolutely FLOORED.
I just snagged a 77” A80J from Best Buy open box excellent for $909 before tax. I’m driving home with it right now, please tell me I’m going to love it lol!!!!
Have this panel, all I can say is wow just the best I have seen this year!
I would love it if you can compare the A80J with the LG G1. Everyone compares the G1 to the A90J but based on price, I think the A80J vs G1 would be a better real world comparison.
+1
A80J better than G1 and G2
Just got this for $999 at BB. Amazing tv. My first ever OLED!!
Plz upload the review video now
Will you be releasing picture settings after you review this tv?
can you compare the a80j and LG G1? Thanks
C1 you mean
Patiently waiting for Samsung QN95A review.......
First of all Vincent - big fan! I’ve been following you for a while and absolutely love the little zingers at each video.
Second, it would be nice to see a comparison later on for A90J, A80J and the now available (at least I can see in stores in the UK) X95J which is the LED Sony flagship for this year.
When do you think you can get your hands on one of those?
Vincent...we need your review! :-)
Review
Hi 👋🏻 Mine is being delivered tomorrow 😀
Hi there are 2 models of the XR80J you have the normal XR80J and the XR84J. The XR84J is exclusive to Currys in the UK. From my research the only difference I can see from the 2 models is the 84J has microphones built into the TV for google assistance. Also the 84J has a different panel or settings as it has a “Rich Color Enhancer”.
Can you do a video comparing the 2 different models as it only seems that in the UK we have the 2 models you can see the specs on the Sony UK and Currys website. As I am stuck on what model to purchase as I don’t know what difference having this “Rich Color Enhancer” (under COLOUR ENHANCEMENT on the spec sheet) would do to the picture quality. I even called Sony TV support and they didn’t realise they had the 2 different models of the same TV, they are both the same price. So your knowledge would help us decide what is a better TV to purchase the 80J or 84J ???????
Your help is much appreciated
Are you talking about the led or the oled? The x80j and x90j are led tvs
@@reviewforthetube6485 Hi, no in the UK we have 2 new Oled models for the XR A80J range. The 2 oled models we have is the normal XR A80J and the other is XR A84J both are the same price. The sales staff are also confused as no one knows what model is better. We also have the XR A90J oled top of the range, but that is a lot more expensive, I don’t think it’s worth the price increase for my use.
@@permindersuri6497. You are right, when i looked into it they were the only differences i could find between the A80J & the A84J.
@@mariojohnson8317 I didn’t buying it as it has a matte screen and I want a glossy screen, the 77” has a glossy screen it’s so strange no where online mentioned the matte display. If you are still interested, Costco Uk in store only were selling the 65” it for £1,500 a few months ago. I might wait for the new 2022 Sony XRA80K XRA84K looks like they have 2 models again, I just hope they have added a glossy screen this time.
Buy a £3000 TV and turn off all the technology available... what's the point
I just got mine, the 77 inch version, two days ago, and still figuring it out. I also purchased the backlighted remote for it. Loved your video! Unfortunately a lot of it is way over my head, so my question is, if I go into settings and totally mess them up, is there a factory default setting I can launch to get the TV back to how it was when it arrived?
Update: Sony’s customer service ROCKS! Just call them and they take you through whatever issue you may have! My TV is all setup, even the extra backlit remote I bought! IT’s even setup on my Apple HomeKit! Absolutely LOVE how their customer service staff can log into your TV (with your permission) and make settings changes! Too cool! I love this TV!
Interested to see what you think of the panel itself as its different from the A90j and how it reflects light ? For me, I'm buying the C1 or this A80j
0:17 Why does the box say "A8 J", if it's the A80J?
@HDTVTEST we all need to see the A90 vs A80. How big is the performance gap and is the a90 price justified.
I bought the OMI token like you recommended on B the installers stream. Any news on it , or going to one cent in the future?
theres plenty videos out comparing the 2 the gap is very very small a90j not worth it gey a80j
@@giotorres9848 True but we want to see Vincent’s take on it. I’m with you and will probably get the A80J 77” instead of the A90J 65”
A90J Master Series more accurate calibrated
@@giotorres9848 A90J is if love movies and TV A80J just gaming or LG C1 no reason buy G1
Ah man UK gets the "good", reusable box with the clips! We get the ugly brown one :(
My 65A80J arrived today. Followed your setup tips Vincent. 65A90J out of my budget. Not as bright as it’s big brother of course but a gorgeous display. Bright enough for our space. Thanks Vincent for all the info.
I would love to know how it tacks up against the LG C1 for gaming aside from the 2.1 features which one reproduces the best gaming image and so on across ps5 and series x
Any Sony > Any LG
@@NoName-bb2pu ….except for near black detail/ image dimensionality near black, gaming features and customer service. So it’s not as clear cut.
@@JayPee2610 Sony invents, others copy, copying is cheap, no R&D expenses.
@@NoName-bb2pu What exactly are you referring to? LG Display‘s WOLED Panels they use? Dolby Vision, which they implemented almost two years after LG (an back then only low latency DV)? HDMI 2.1, which still doesn’t work correctly? A fix for near black chrominance overshoot, which they initially refused to implement and then copied from Panasonic?
Sony definitely had its time where they were the leading brand in terms of innovation. However, in the past years the only things noteworthy they have come up with regarding TVs were acoustic surface and their image processors.
Besides, that doesn’t change that fact that Sony’s Customer service (at least here in Europe) doesn’t deserve its name and that they screwed up a key factor in picture quality, namely near black gamma. While LG also has its problems their, it can be corrected there, whereas there is no way to achieve near black gamma with Sony’s new OLED. So there is no clear winner here. Both brands have their advantages and disadvantages, no matter this much you like any particular brand.
Is that what you were referring to?
@@JayPee2610 all I'm referring to is that anything other than Sony is for the economically downtrodden, Sony is for the discerning elite

Sony - you will need 2 people to install
HDTVTest - hold my beer
I got the 55 inch being delivered soon, can i do the unboxing and install solo? Doing a regular stand mount.
Is the panel durable enough for 1 person to pick up and move?
The best looking tv
everything set to off, why we need those XR proccesors...
I think the Reality Creation setting is excellent, definitely not turning it off on my TV. I keep it on manual and about 25 for basically all content.
Agreed. Sheeps must wake up. These calibrator make their money not with optimal settings for ur eyes or looks but by their Tools. They cannot calculate with their Tools how much better a picture looks and 3d with reality creation etc. They simply put everything off to be on the safe side. Even tho it looks like absolute bs. We have 20 years old Tools that make picture looks better. Calibration Was never a thing cause it makes everything looks worse.just now through false Marketings this is Happening.pcs are so much superior they didnt fall for this trick.they can change all they want in settings
Vincent are you doing A90J settings video?
Why on the box does the model number written as A8 J? I've noticed it in a store as well, I thought maybe it was a fake TV. 🤣
Would be interesting to see if it has the same near black issues coming out of black as you mentioned with the AJ90, I’m assuming it does as it uses the same processor
This is my big question as well. I have seen some side by sides that appears to show the A80 having a little more depth of field which seems to indicate that if it is a similar issue with the coming out of black too fast, it's doing it more subtly.
Near black level panel thing he got bad A90J all other A90J reviews didn't mention it.
I hope you can review the SONY Xperia 1 mark iii. It's the first smartphone with a 4K HD OLED 120 Hz refresh rate.
This comment may increase power consumption more than the standard configuration.
You don't need to drop Resolution to Minimum if you're gonna switch Reality Creation off, because it won't be active.
Vincent, the videos are so well mastered and the recording quality increases, I get a increasingly urge to buy an OLED to see the it is intended.
sir, what's the weight of 55 inch Sony A80J OLED tv?
When a $3500 TV isn’t premium 😂
Finally the A80j!! 👏👏👏👏
Well, you asked... :-).. In my priority order...
1. I would very much like to get an idea of heat being given off byTV's and monitors you test Vincent. I live in a small flat and even ventilation is limited.
2. I'd also like to know whether the sets have external noises like buzzes or hums. Especially when relevent to HDR or brightness controls.
3. How the sets fare in a bright & dark room setting including reflection issues.
4. I would value knowing that you hear no such noises from the speaker/screen when watching, listening, recording a programme or movie on the TV - and you are able to record clean audio out of the TV.
5. I would like to get an idea on how long the screen is likely to last before the picture is washed out or becoming unwatchable - being based on either normal use, or 12 hours per day use, - assuming using the TV's default normal setting.
6. Lastly, just as you do now, to highlight anything that might be an issue that the general public (like me) might find a problem. Don't stop picking up both common sense issues and the technical issues where I wouldn't have a clue! You are very good at this.
Thanks Vincent.
If anyone has the 77incher...how is the ABL? How is the glossy screen reflection in a darkened room?
I’m quite confused. You are unpacking from a box which says it’s an A8J, not the A80J.
That’s the UK model equivalent to the A80J. Same TV.
Do you have any recommended settings?
Vincent what do you think of the semi gloss screen on the A80. Do you think it affects perceived picture quality under different lighting conditions vs glossy screen?
Thank you
Thanks Vincent. I got my a80J a few months ago. love it
Vincent can you please compare tv performance compared to C1 when gaming on PS5 console
Best review ever on a television congratulations and thank you for taking your time. I just got my 77 in 2 days ago and it is amazing it blows away my 7-8-year-old Sony XBR that I upgraded from. By the way I purchased the 77 inch model I so badly wanted the 83 but it was twice the price and I could not justify that shame on you Sony!
I didn’t know there was an 83’ version of this model? Maybe is the A90J model? 🤔
I got the A80J 77" from Costco. Gloss screen is nice. This was an upgrade from a 51" Samsung Plasma so going from 1080 to 4k was also a nice feature. I ordered the remote for the A90J and it works fine with the A80J - the accelerometer based back light is really slick.
I picked up the A80J 77 from Costco as well. They were marked down to $1,999 and included a 5 year warranty. I also used the Costco Citi card to see if it will add an additional two years to the warranty. I chose this over the LG C2 because of the $600 difference. My old 65 LG Oled is now hanging in my garage.
Hi matey do u have a proper setup video pls for the TV set pls
Zombies. Zombies in avsforum and others just repeat what these marketing calibrator say. How they are amazed by this 5000 bucks tv they bought with calibrated settings but somehow they still ask anyone for new settings.calibration never mattered because it makes the picture look terrible.its just recently this fake marketing calibration gets out of handing. They do not care about what setting look good to the eye. If reality creation is improving ur picture 20 times more 3 d looks etc but there is a tiny artifact on the background they say make the picture look worse disable reality creation so in their tools the picture is now "perfect". Dont fall for this tricks. Tvs get more expensive while looking worse and worse . people fall for this qd oled stuff etc when its simple sharpness or color settings that change and improve ur picture the most.we could have insane looking tvs if we keep improve the processors and settings. Calibration is a base,obvious green should be green not blue. But thats already figured out in ancient tvs. If we have this base we can still go from there and improve it to whatever we like. The pc community didnt fall for this trick. They love their radeon sharpening nvidia tools or disable motion blur(or rarely enable it higher) whatever they like not caring about what someone with a different liking "intented". Lmao
0:01 Vincent, is that an X90J in the background behind the tripod and A80J box on your right? Would love to hear your review on that, but think you’re most likely going to wait until the X95J so you can compare those two. Thanks!
Thank you Vincent for not putting the sharp boxcutter in your front pocket this time and tossing it safely aside. That is the most daring and scariest part of your TV unboxing videos, stowing the (spring loaded) sharp boxcutter in your front pocket almost every time.
Really appreciate the time you put into making this content. I just bought the 55" version and your whole unboxing and setup guide was immensely helpful - as I was on my own and was concerned that I could unbox and physically setup the TV without someone to assist in holding the TV securely while the stands were attached. FYI: I live in London, UK and the TV I got from John Lewis had a single piece of polystyrene protecting the TV in the box for both the top and bottom. So I had to put the TV flat on the bed to attach the feet - as the technique described in the setup guide - and the procedure you demonstrated - requires the base to be of at least two separable pieces of polystyrene so that the TV can be securely held while the stands are attached. More importantly was your helpful picture setup guide, going through all the custom picture options. Very helpful! All the best to you!
Just got my 55inch today! 🎉
Just got mine today! Now it is standing on that bottom piece of polystyrene and i'm afraid to pull it off 😃 Any tips how to move forward on this point? Thanks a lot 🙋♂️
The unboxing alone is also my problem. I am thanksful to this complete Step by step video.
Wish they quit using styrofoam
This is my dream tv 😍😍😍😍
9 months later and I got it! I’m very happy with it. Best tv I ever owned. Was def worth the wait. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Jordanfiend361what size did you get and do you still have it ? I’m glad for you. I also have a 77” A80J
On my sony A80j tv the picture keeps going light an dark on all sport channels have the back light turn of my thanks
WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER#1 ✌️ 👑
I just placed an order for this TV for about 1450$ Canadian including taxes I hope it is worth it I want to use it for entertainment and gaming using my powerful PC machine
i see hdr10,hlg,and where is Dolby vision?what sony a80 has 2 type of hdr mode only?
This instrumental playing is awesome. Immediately shazamed it. Was just talking about the "Drive" Soundtrack, this track reminded of that. Oh yeah, the TV is pretty amazing too.
Enjoyed the video. Please let us know if the semi-gloss screen finish has any impact on the picture vs the gloss finish of the A90J
The 77” and 85” versions of the A80J also have the gloss finish
i saw the A80J at BestBuy, and I was impressed with its ability to display finer details while maintaining a natural-looking picture.
Obviously, it wasn't properly calibrated for me to compare it to the C1. Every review I have seen of the A80J, puts it ahead of the C1 in terms of color accuracy, but falls behind in gaming.. Vincent, how big is the gap in terms of gaming between these two units? How does the ability to display variable refresh rates affect the TVs performance?
VRR is a concern for pc gamers. VRR prevents screen tearing that is caused when the framerates produced by the pc and the refresh rate of the monitor become asynchronous. If you are on console, I am told this is not an issue bc the framerate is constant. I am a pc gamer, so for me, I get into the graphics software (either AMD or NVidia) and tune the card to push a constant 60 fps. That is the best workaround I have to avoid screen tearing, and it's been fine, but obv that can vary based on the game/application. Hope this helps.
A80J and A90J support VRR ALLM and 4K 120HZ Dolby Vision HDR now.
PS5 looks amazing on it. No complaints here.
The only one complete unboxing by one Person only showing all the Single steps and Hand Positions to Do it alone 😂
How bright is it compared too other oled tv’s
Hi Vincent, I really enjoy your videos! I bought the 77 A80j 10 days ago and I absolutely love it! (I upgraded from a Panny ZT65 plasma.) I am using a Sony 800M2 4K Blu ray player in Bravia mode and the picture is incredible. 90% of my viewing is 4k Blu ray in a dark room. You can REALLY see a wide variance in how different discs are produced / mastered. I am looking forward to seeing your calibration settings. Thanks!
Could anyone tell me please if my connections are OK? HDMI 4 (Enhanced Dolby Vision) - Blu ray 4k Dolby Vision. HDMI 3 eArc (Standard) - soundbar. HDMI 2 (Standard) - Nintendo Switch. The soundbar is connected to the TV via earc, Nintendo Switch + Blu ray player are also connected to the TV. Thanks.
HELP...... Can someone tell me how I get my Bose Lifestyle V35 Home Theater System to work with this Sony A80J 77" remote? As for now I'm using the bose remote. Also I don't see the volume onscreen as I did with my old Sony XBR 65". Is it an "INPUT" thing? I'm not good at setups like I used to be.... cannot figure this out.
Need help. I bought a new sony 75'. I have the earc/arc HDMI from the TV to a Home threatre receiver. All my other devices are going through the receiver also. The goolge app on the TV to watch Netflix and so on, I can see the picture but there is no sound. I can here sound from one of of other sources from the reciever Pioneer VSX-834. Can't figure this one out. Need help. thanks.
Can I buy from you LG OLED C16LA? cause panel is Paju without horizontal lines...what you say?
Recently bought Sony 77 A80J and it has only 4.4GB of available storage but on the Sony website they mentioned 16GB as internal storage. Could you tell me why? What is the available for this tv?
Works ok with Australian 1800i /25 hz etc . Smooth as.
Vincent, Have a 65 Sony XR A90J and I am wondering if have you checked the internal Disney+ app on the A90J & A80J......This version of the Disney+ App does not have Dolby Atmos only 5.1 on all Series and Movies.....I have talked with both Sony and Disney+ about this problem for 2 hours and they are passing the information on up to engineering. Both Sony and Disney+ said this was the first report of the problem of no Dolby Atmos on the internal Disney+ App.....for now well will have to wait for a new update to the Disney+ App. All other internal app work correctly and deliver Dolby Atmos.....

Hi, do you know what Expert1 & 2 stands for in colour temperature ? Something like 5500°K and 6500°K..?
My 65A80J doesn’t have those power consumption warnings (USA).
I have this TV model and i'm having trouble with picture settings. No matter what i do TV keeps bringing back vivid mode. Any idea?
my screen was too red and too blue for my eyes out of the box. Calibration settings in adv colour basic -1 (red) -2 (blue). checked with x-rite
Can this TV do "picture and picture" or "twin picture"? The older TVs had a mode that displayed 2 of the video inputs at the same time and each input took up roughly half of the screen. the use case is for me to watch TV while the wife plays video games.
Did you ever fully review picture settings. video
How do you peel off that energy guide sticker on the bottom right without scratching the screen?
I am a little late to the party but I did get a few $ off the price so I can live with it. Okay I am going to start off with the fact that I am not a game player at all. I am going to watch movies and videos from my Apple TV 4k and cable TV( the wife has to have it) and I am planning to hook up the atsc3 antenna. So what should I choose on the setup ? I wonder if I should use the Google features or set up differently?
He makes the Sony unboxings so long, but the Panasonic TV's he just throws around like they're nothing
Hi , I just got an A80J 77 inch as most of us in this forums i also would like to see what creators intended.
But i also have some adjustments have it in three different presets Custom , Custom For Pro 1 and Custom For Pro 2
I have seen users reporting that if for example we modify Vivid or Standard tothe setting that we use in custom still there is change in how it is displayed . Essentially that means there are set of processing that we anyways cannot change. So we have to start off with the one that is stated as most accurate by sony.
My Concern :
1. Is Custom For Pro 1 / 2 as accurate as Custom to begin with?
2. Is Custom For Pro More accurate than Custom or Vice Versa?
These concerns are because sony states Custom as “Truly Reproducing the Original” while Custom for Pro it states that it is for Caliberation”. So the next question obviously will be is one of them more accurate than the other?
Thanks
Hi Vincent, I just bought this TV from John Lewis. On unboxing, I don't seem to have to have the two stickers (one of them being the energy efficiency one) on the front of the screen. Does this mean my unit is one that has been previously returned to John Lewis?

Hi can you tell me the difference between XR55X90JU
And xr55x94ju
kindly suggest home theatre for this tv
I have this in the 65". So far I regret returning the LG C1 for it. Watching sports via app looks terrible.
Are there recommendations for settings on Air antenna channels?
l was expecting that tv channels can looks better but isn't showing what I expected, I have a samsung led 65'' 2019 and looking too much better, everthing else looks wonderful on A80J except for tv channels.. Netflix, Disney plus, iTunes on Apple tv 2021 and playing movies from the Sony UBP-X700 player most blu- rays movies are looking nice the XR upscaling really do a good job sometime looks like 4K resolution, but definitely the Air channels are not looking good. Any ideas?
Just received mine and for some reason it doesn’t play 4k on the TH-cam app. Tried messing with the settings but nothing.
I watch your video and just bought the tv yesterday, but I want don’t know why it shut down automatically even I didn’t set up the timer!!!
I was wondering how you lifted them on the TV stand, so at 5:00 I guess I will have to do it this way. 😅
Is the Sony better in removing judder form 24p content or the LG C1/C2?
So in other words don't change anything but use custom picture mode instead of standard? Not many changes. Good video though!
Getting 65 a80j, out of the box, calibration needed? Viewing in dark room, mostly movies and streaming services.
