Sony A80J OLED Long Term Review | Should You Buy It In 2022 | And Saying Goodbye
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มี.ค. 2022
- Is the Sony XR A80J OLED still a great buy in 2022? I wanted to re-cover the TV as well as showcase how great it looks as a final video for it. It has left my hands, and I will be looking to new models in 2022.

Had mine for about 8 months now and I absolutely love it. Hands down, best TV I ever had.
Yeah I’ve had mine since about January and have only just started to appreciate its capabilities to competitors televisions.
I actually got it as a substitute to a Samsung AU8000 and was a little jaded by it , but hey it’s pretty darn good when you really look at its ability.
@@YaMomsOyster I have a TU8500 samsung and want to change to A80j or A90j, is it a good upgrade? Thanks
I'm excited to see the differences between the A80J and A80K. I bought an A80J 8 or 9 months ago, (because of your positive review), and I couldn't be happier. I am not someone who seems to notice the dimming during gaming, but I also play on peak brightness medium (in SDR) to avoid hitting the ABL as fast. My assumption is that the A80K is only a small improvement over A80J but if it has a trump card up its sleeve, it might entice me.
I bought A80j a few days ago, upgrading from a 2017 sony LED TV. It’s amazing. Do not get me wrong, the 2017 model was the x90 series with the local dimming. But the difference is still day and night. And I totally agree with you that A80k will be very similar to the a80j, just the same as lg c2 to the c1. But at this time, the c2 55 inches is more than $1000 more expensive than the same size c1 in the Australia market. Which makes no sense for most people to pay for that much to get that bit of improvement
@@rb9688 I ended up with a 50” A80J because the Good Guys couldn’t deliver a Samsung AU8000 after purchase, around December /January 2020/2021 I think, maybe it was this year(I have a brain injury, a ABI. But man am I happy with the Sony, the best part is the Remote is compatible with my older Sony HD television I replaced, well I retired it from the lounge and moved to my bedroom . Great when half asleep and want to turn it on/off.
But , very happy.
Great video, sad to see it go already but I feel you on the reasoning. I however will definitely be keeping mine for a very long time 😆
Will be getting the A80J 77inch in the next 2 months at a much cheaper price than the A80K 77inch to add it to my A90J.
KG in Da house, wise decision my friend.✌️
Picked up the 77 inch A80J about a month ago, and it's an amazing display. Calibrated using Calman, a Calibrite Color Checker Display Plus, profiled with an i1 Pro 2 Spectro, and a PGenerator.
Followed your step by step autocal video, and the results are stunning. You're also spot on regarding the pink tint and cyan tint at different viewing angles for full white screens.
Thanks, Classy. Your videos have been a huge help in my transition from my old, trusty plasmas to OLED.
Would you still buy the a80j or if you had the choice move to a95k (if they had 77)?
@@orwinfernandes6381 Very, very tough call. For the average person, I'd go with the 77 inch A95K.
For me specifically, I'd have to think very long and hard about it for this reason: very respected pro calibrators believe that quantum dot displays cannot be properly calibrated by a budget spectro. (e.g., i1 Pro 2/3)
Basically, if you don't have a reference grade spectro, which costs between $8,000 and $15,000 USD, there's no point in even attempting to perform a calibration of a QD-OLED / LED.
I have a budget spectro, and I'm not sure I'll ever get a reference grade meter.
If I ever get a quantum dot display, I'd have to hire a pro to come and calibrate it. I'm not sure I could go back to those days again.
I think I'm actually going to return my 65 A80J for the 77inch. I thought the 77inch looked a little better and a bit brighter in the store but kinda thought maybe it was just perception cuz the 65 inch was next a mini LED tv while the 77inch was showcased on its own. At the time the 77inch was a full 1200more because the 65 was on sale. So I went with the 65 inch but ever since I got it home, unless its pitch black in the room I'm not as wow'd as I thought I would be and in some cases I'm a little let down with the dullness of some scenes.
This kind of reassures me that my initial impressions weren't mislead and the 77inch was indeed brighter because it was a more selectively picked evo panel. Or maybe I just got a duller A80j panel. In any case I sit a whopping 15 feet away, I really do need more tv at that distance.
After months of research I did buy the A80CJ (Cosco Version) it was a crazy deal 2599.00 and a 500$ shop card, 2 years extra warranty and rewards. I finial did something right in regard to buying the right TV from the right seller..
I bought my 77 inch A80J from COSTCO one year ago. Be sure to use Classy's picture settings if you want the picture to look its best. Using custom mode and using his settings will make a big difference. Using custom mode also turns off the {Sony Face Recognition Technology} that to me unnaturally brightens the faces of people and other animals that was driving me crazy. Also, this TV does an excellent job of upscaling Blu-Ray player video and Cable HD DVR video and other HD video sources to 4K with no motion artifacts. GOOD CHOICE!!
Footage looks amazing like it was a direct capture of the video.
I agree most looked great except Astros playroom. It looked very Dull compared to my x95
Yup. His camera is the real mvp
Excellent review. Even handed and hit all of the important points imo. No doubt the 77" A80J is the standout size. Sweet TV footage!
I will get the 77inch in three months time for a cheap price and add it to my A90J. This Tv is great and will suit my movie watching perfectly. You did a good job covering this TV Classy, you changed my mind on this tv and will be picking it up later for a much cheaper price than the 2022 A80K.
I went to buy it from Costco and saw the price jump up to 2699 for the A80J 77 inch when last month it was 2499 so I got the 77inch C1 instead for 2399.00. For that price and Costco return policy I think it is worth giving the C1 at least 90 days to make sure it is what I want. Worst case I don’t like it will return it and get the A80K for under 3k as I’m sure closer to September will be under that price
@@Patrick-tw7nr Nice
Bro you answered a question I haven't been able to find information on anywhere...I always wondered what the brightness difference was between the 77 inch a80j (because of the evo panel) and the a90j... most reviewers use the smaller size a80j (which doesn't have the Evo panel) to come up with their numbers
Just got one of these in 77" from Microcenter refurbed for $1900. Absolutely perfect condition with 0 hours on the panel. Love it!
Ugh, wish I did, just missed it!
The counter can be reset in the service menu lol 😬
@@Squishmallows24 how do u even see the hours of usage anyway? lol
Gorgeous intro, dude. Footage looks great nice job of mixing clips in the edit.
I just bought this on prime day. 77 inch a80j for $2400. After watching this video, I'm definitely happy with my purchase. 😏
Thank you sir, I shall sub to your channel.
cant wait for my 77A80J to arrive this week!
My 77 inch A80J is staying put! Does everything I need it to do, so I'm happy..
Excellent vid Classy. Being one of the lucky owners of a 77" A80J this was one of my favourite vids of yours. Whilst it's certainly not perfect, the picture and in particular some of the 4K looks amazing. It's certainly the sweet spot for me. Still meaning to try your settings. Good luck with the channel. Keep the quality coming.✌️
Did he post the settings up somewhere? Looks amazing
After watching many many comparison videos between the C1 and the a80j and doing lots of research, I finally went with the a80j.
Even though I am a gamer, it seemed to me like the "gaming features" of the C1 are none features. I can't say anything about the picture quality of the C1 because I never got one, but based on all comparisons on youtube it's not even close. The a80j seems to do a better job at bringing brightness where brightness is needed and darkness where darkness is needed. The color on the C1 also looks like it's on vivid mode compared to the a80j.
How’s the issue with image retention and dimming when gaming? Would appreciate your response. Thanks
Really impressive job capturing footage, makes it look like im watching a premium tv when its just a video
I've had mine since last May. Best god damn purchase I've made in a long time.
How long do you plan on keeping it? And do you think it'll last 7 years at least
@@BrendanEvansX I'll keep it until it kicks the bucket. I'm sure it will last longer than that. I have it in my basement where I only use it for movies and games so it's not used daily.
@@wking8 i have a 65" X90J and I'm really happy with it and everything but I have a potential opportunity to get a 65" A80J but I'm really scared of burn in. I watch movies and shows mostly and I play games (Fortnite, GT7) for about an hour or less everyday (depending, but no more than 2). I currently use my X90J on the lowest brightness level with motionflow clearness level on 3 as I'm in an enclosed room with 2 Hue lamps without sunlight or anything so it's already plenty bright for what my eyes can take, so is it easy to recommend the A80J according to my usages? Also for 4K DV/HDR10 content, I'll have brightness on 5 (no more than that) with motionflow clearness set to 1
@@BrendanEvansX You won't get burn in. I owned nothing but plasma before oleds. They were much more prone to burn in. They have come so far in mitigating it. I've never even seen image retention from gaming on mine. Buy it.
I bought Sony A80J 77" on sale now here in Sweden for about $2,800. Crazy satisfied. I only play on ps5 so then this should be a good gaming TV for that? Very good review of A80J.👍
Classy question; The 77A80J with tax at costco and 5 year warranty is $2700. On Greentoe, the 83A90J is $4400. Is the difference between the two worth it?
No way. The difference is not worth almost $2k. That 77A80CJ is a steal.
Great video and the tv picture is amazing even on youtube. What picture settings do you recommend making as soon as you unbox one of these 77” A80j tv’s?
Great video dude! 👍🏽👍🏽 Appreciate the shoutout w/ the pic and everything… thanks! 😊 Very happy w/ the tv, but Value electronics got the C2’s in today so I might be the “miserable” one now 😂😝 Looking forward to seeing you review it… Hope you get it very soon!
I will go to a TV shop tomorrow, I will either pull the trigger on the A80J or X90K which are in my budget. A80J will surely win for contrast but looks like X90K has better HDR given more nits no?
I'm torn between a80j and 90k? I already have x90j .Let me know your choice and feedback
I bought it and it’s amazing. No regrets.
It's a great TV. Biggest bang for your buck regarding oled tvs. I am extremely happy with my A80J and it goes well with my A9G. Thanks for the review.
@bouchy85 Motion smoothing seems slightly better than the A9G and A8H. However, it is still not pre-2018 Sony motion which was fantastic.
@@RK-jp4xe What about the dimming and playing movies and Tv shows?
Glad you stuck with it for the year. It was fun to watch you grow. And that GT7 intro was 🔥
Hi there Keep It Classy, from Toronto, Canada. I bought the A80J back in Dec. The picture quality is fantastic. The problem I'm having is with the TV speakers making a rattling noise even on low volume. Does anyone else hear the rattle noise from the 77 inch A80J. I never cranked up the speakers to loud. The TV here cost $4500 Canadian. Looks like it's going back to Costco's . Really disappointed to send it back.
Keep up the good work with your reviews.👍
Hello glad to see comments from Canada I'm in Toronto also do you find tvs are more expensive here or is it just the exchange rate ? And do think the x90j is worth what we pay for it ? would love the A80J just to expensive hope you get it figured out with Cosco do u pay extra for the warranty when you shop there ?
@@chrisd1172 Hi there, eh LOL. Haven't looked at the x90j, but I did have the 75 in. X95J. l return it because of the grid line pattern on a white screen. Like reviewer's say - Once you see it you can't un-see it.
Costco's has a 2 year warranty on TV's , but you can extent it . I like Costco's because of there 90 day return policy with free delivery and pick up.
I might try the 77 in. C2 next, just waiting for reviews on the new TV's for 2022. To answer your question , TV's do cost more here[Canada].
@@chrismahervolous404 thanks eh lol
@@chrisd1172 I just bought the A80J at Costco at $200 cheaper than LG c1. Just discovered that if you use their credit card they now extend the warrant from 2 yrs to 4 yrs at no charge
The XR77" A80J compare to a 77" LG G1 .According to what I've read, Sony didn't release an XRA90j 77" because the A80j 77" uses the new LG Evo panel. Because of economies of scale, LG display didn't make 2 different 77inch panels, just the single Evo one.
Great review! Is there a way to determine if my 77" panel is 'evo' ? It says it manufactured in 2021 but don't know if it means anything
HELL YEAH I’D BUY IT IN 2022!!! It’s LITERALLY the best OLED tv in 2021 and beat the LG C1
Which is better A80J or LG C2?
Last year I bought the c1 and a80j and had them both at home at the same. After weeks I decided to return the c1 just because movies technically look better on the a80j. The one thing that has always bothered me has been how blacks look on each set. The c1 had deep inky blacks while the a80j sometimes looked gray or washed out. This was very clear on the movie venom let there be carnage at the end. The c1 had so much contrast while the a80j looked so washed out like there was a gray filter over the picture.
I’m confused - you said the blacks were better on the c1 - so why did you return that set ?? Is the detail in the blacks better ? Or just the inkyness?
So reading your review… you returned the better tv??? 😂
@@robwarren7511 both tvs have strengths and weaknesses. C1 had more inky blacks. The Sony has a clearer image. The c1 has bold more vivid colors while the Sony has more natural colors.
I thought you had the G1 for some reason. If so, how long before you switched that up for the A80J? I always appreciate your vids btw!
Information on point thanks for the news would like one day to get an OLED as for now, do you think it's better to get a x90j before there gone or wait for x90k or if there even making that all I heard about is x95k i would not want to spend much more then what the x90j cost now
I bought the 65 inch a80j in the UK a few months back. It has the cyan tint he mentioned, would that mean it is an Evo panel?
I own 3 OLEDs The LG CX & C1 & The Sony A8H.. I prefer the Sony over the LG in terms of picture quality, I kinda hate the black crush on the LG's it's annoying watching dark movies, my eyes struggle to enjoy dark scenes on the Lg, you can fix that by turning on the dynamic contrast at the cost of washed out image which I don't really like. So I'm returning the C1 to get a Sony A80J. Gotta give it to LG because of the gaming features and the prices of its TVs. But honestly I tried to play competitive COD on the 48 Inch and it's a bit tiring cuz the panel is still big. So for playing competitive games I'd go for the 42 inches. However if your not into FPS games at the highest level you don't really need the LG the Sony OLED will be perfect also if what you want is to play Campaign with Max Graphics then the the Sony is the best option. Though I was thinking to get the 42 Inch LG C2 for playing competitive but I think I'm just gonna stick with my 25 Inch Gaming Monitor... Forgot to mention that I got a the A80J for only $1300 Brand New from Amazon and Free Installation as well what a steal.
Did the delivery guys install the tv for you? Did Amazon offer this installation for free or is it a norm?
Great video my friend! I can tell you put a lot of work into it.
I was contemplating returning my a80j 77in for the new model or maybe looking at the c2. I guess I’ll have to make up my mind before may 4th haha.
LG if gaming, otherwise keep what you have.
My 77inch a80j has a lot of movie grain with high quality content more grain with 4k then 1080p any body else with the same problems
Yup, the dimming during gameplay is bothering me honestly on C9.
I will upgrade to Samsung QN95B, I was waiting Samsung to give us minimal blooming and without shadow details crushed and 4 HDMI 2.1
Excellent overview. My brother will be in the market for a new tv sometime this year, and I might recommend he look at this. He watches plenty of older content with his girlfriend and Sony’s processing would be ideal for that. He also currently plays his PS5 on a Hisense U6G, so I think that this would serve as an excellent gaming upgrade too.
i have c1 and a80j, c1 has far better motion. 30fps and below looks bad on the a80j
Is the great upscalling you were talking about available when watching content (movies/TV shows) from a laptop? (Through HDMI, via VLC)
Man I'm sooo stuck on picking between the a80j, the C1, and the qn90a!! I literally can't decide.
Same. So I bought the A80J and will return it if not nice in my room. I couldn’t decide in store so have to just buy one and use it in your room
Same (well not the C1).. A80J looked dim and blah in Best Buy, but I know, thanks the Classy here, that it can look better. And I don’t need super bright, but I did love QN90A in store.
@@WhoIsAlexElliott any update ?! I’m in the same situation. I think I wanna get the a80j but not sure.
@@JG129 I bought the A80J and couldn’t be happier. It’s so amazing. And that whole bright enough questions isn’t really as relevant as a thought. It’s plenty bright enough. TV is absolutely incredible. Wow
@@WhoIsAlexElliott appreciate the response. Think I’m gonna pick one up today. Never owned an OLED before so pretty excited.
Wow I have never seen gaming on an oled first hand, but sure astrobot looks way too dim here compared to x90j, excellent channel by the way
Thank you Classy , is there a way to know if I'll get an wbe panel here in Canada before I buy ?
The sticker like on the video you did with the US stamped on it is not the same here in Canada . Thanks
I might have posted the same question on another video of yours, forgive me if I did, i'm tired from work.
Thanks Classy. Good guidance.
I have the 65 inch and its way to dark , especially in game mode, regret getting it. My brother got a Qned and gaming is way more punchy and fun on that, black level is very good as well on the qned. for 65 inch i would avoid this tv
thanks for the review - I have a 65A8H, and thinking to upgrade - how does it compare to the A80J (specifically for HDR movies and live sports - viewing in the dark - dedicated HT). And if you do recommend the A80J - are the advantages of the 77" A80J significant over the 65" A80J - TIA!
Great summary video on the Sony 77” A80J. I have one & love it.
PS - people we need to get Classy over 10K subscribers, come on! Let’s go! Cheers!
Do you notice the dimming when you play?
@@KaramM honestly not really, but it’s the kids mostly playing the Nintendo Switch or PS3. We don’t have the new PS5 or XBOX, so can’t comment on that. We have not been distracted by anything related to that. I feel mostly b/c how big the TV is (emersion).
@@danielallopenna2326 thank you for replying, i am torn between this and the 75 qned from Samsung just because I think my wife will be using the TV more than I do during the day and i am not sure if i can explain how she should take care of the screen (she will be watching a lot of tv with logos) without being yelled at lol
@@KaramM no worries, happy to help. I actually have the Samsung q90t as our main family room TV & love it for the use case we have & bright room. Our Sony is upstairs in the bonus room where we can control the lighting as we need. Use case is a big part of it. You will get better peak highlights (HDR effects) with the Samsung. The Sony ultimately has a better picture due to contrast & sharpness. Hope that helps! Cheers!
You're the only person that I trust for an honest answer. Would I eventually get burn in if:
1. If I watch closed caption/subs on everything?
2. Watch CNN and some other news media maybe about 3 to 4 hours a day?
So about 1 hour or so on news media then something else then maybe 2 hours again on news etc.
I would like to keep this TV for at least 10 years, I know if I buy a Tv every 4 to 5 years then I might not get burn in but 10 or greater years I don't know.
I am really scared of burn in on A80J ans was thinking to return it and get QN90A.
Thank you.
Yes, in a 10 year period with lots of news and captions you will get a lot of burn in.
@@Abhitips224 it's just that this technology is still newer than LCD so no one ready know what will happen, unlike LCD we know the track record for over 20 years now.
Sony did mentioned to me that sub/caption will not get burn in because it's constantly moving but that's yet to see.
The one and only question I have left which I can’t seem to find answer for - if the 55 inch models have a dimmer screen than larger models - is this eliminated by the fact that a80j had panel updates in later models that were brighter - were they all EQAUL then ? And was this issue guaranteed to be true ? Or was it related to the panel lottery ? Meaning, if you got the good panel - were they all EQAUL ? That’s a different question , I know - but the first one is the important one. Thanks . 99 percent sure I’m getting a c2. Final details haha
Love this review classy such a great tv man!
Hey Classy! Not sure if this question is in your lane. Do you recommend purchasing a 5 year warranty from UPSIE for a long term user like myself? What are your thoughts?
How good is motion handling? Just concerning about as I heard some of people complained about some of Sony TV with terrible motion handling. I just want to be so sure this is fine on A80J. I have seen it on special at the shop on black Friday and is extending sale further longer.
Still having issues with judder and stutter on Netflix and other apps on apple tv 4K,also on internal apps. What are your recommendations for bets overall motions settings? I have the 77in A80j
I'm using the Auto motionflow setting and loving it on my A90J. I'd give that a try.
How do you determine if you're getting the new panel when buying a 55 inch A80J?
I’ve not found anyway. I’ve researched it too. I think you only find out only when u get the tv sadly unless u get the 77. If I’m wrong though and someone knows I’d love to be proven incorrect here.
@@crujones27 I just bought the 55 inch A80J. How do you determine you once you have the tv?
@@NATOnova supposedly off angle the evo panels have a pink tint to them. The lgs it’s easy to tell because it’s in the serial number, unfortunately this is all I’ve heard
Hey Classy, awesome video you deserve so many more subs given the quality of content that you put out. Just want to get your opinion on TV selection if you see this (or anyone else who has the A80J). I very much prefer the look of the A80Js picture to the C1 in all of the comparisons that I have seen, but how bad is the temporary image retention really? Is it noticeable during movies or just when switching between menus? Is it present all of the time or just sometimes and when it does happen what would you say is the average time period that it remains? Really appreciate the help as I am going crazy trying to pick between the 77 C1 and A80J. Looking forward to your future content!
I have the 77 inch Sony and no problems with that yet..great for gaming(pS5 and pc). Movies and shows are epic..you have an option to turn off logos or anything that stays in the corner of screens. I’ve noticed mine does it automatically most of the time. ✌️

Great equipment!! It definitely shows it, great freaking footage!!
Love my 77” A80J. Still struggling to get rid of the judder on panning shots
Go to motion, set motionflow to custom, set smoothness to max,, set clearness to min, cinema motion off. You will still have a little judder because unlike paid influencers we paid our hard earned money for these tvs and see the flaws they are not mentioning, however this is the best you get with this tv from a motion standpoint.
Just set motionflow to Auto and enjoy it. That's what I've done with my A90J.
Upgrading from 2018 Sony LCD KD 49 XF8098. Thinking of getting the 55 inch. £999. I'm guessing this OLED will be a big step up for me?
Great content as always 👍
Hi Classy, I use the Nvidia shield with kodi to watch movies, I was wondering if there is any issue connected to the A80j, need to know this in order to buy it.
Hey Classy, I seen the A80J 77 and LG G1 77 and the Sony looks better on DIRECTV. My question is do you think the G2 and G1 will look identical watching DIRECTV? Im considering the G2 and A95K
How would I know if my A80J is the newer panel? what about if the Tv was made in 2022? you think it would be the newer panel? thanks
Thanks for the explanation but I want to be sure wich tv is the best option for me considering that my budget is a total of 1,500 I would love to know wich tvs (both oled and lcd) would be best under my budget if it can be less than the total of my budget the better
Hi Classy, please buy the new QD Oled from Sony. That Tv interresred me the most.

How does one identify the panel type they have on their 55”/65”, A80j..? In other words how do you know you have the “EVO” panel..?
Do you mind sharing your calibrated settings for the tv?
It's really a stand up tv.
I’m still stuck between A80J, C1 and QN90A. 2 weeks in and I can’t decide.
If gaming just go for the C1, if not get the A80J.
Dude me too. What did you get and why?
@@crimson_floyd ended up going with the 55” A80J it was only $1,000. I don’t have a very bright living room so didn’t need a very bright tv so I eliminated QN. So it was between OLEDs. Ended up going with Sony because better speakers, better upscaling of low resolution content, better out the box color accuracy, and slightly more detail.
@@ic3076 have you noticed any screen retention when gaming?
@@crimson_floyd I’ve actually noticed 0 retention in 4 months I’ve had tv. Maybe I got a good screen bc I also have perfect uniformity.

The vide where your in the service menu calibrated to d65 is gone? I have all the setting but put the red and blue gain back to 512. What where they again? 526 or something?
Hello thanks for the review.
I do have a80j77 and I notice bottom of the screen close the the edge when I clean the panel making sounds such like screen it’s not glued together best describe is has fealing has protective film and has air bubble under the display. Yes I did check for screen protector I did replace the tv ,but second one also has the same issue can you confirm with yours is the case.
Hey there is it true that this TV ABSL is that bad? When you watch a dark scene like in The Witcher, it flashes every 2 seconds dimming everything? Or this is a lie? I can't find tests about this or proofs of this. Could you tell? Thank You.
Between this in 55' and the LG G1 55" for mainly ps5 gaming and movies, which would you go for? Both would be professionally ISF calibrated.
Thanks
If you’re doing a lot of gaming, the G1 for sure
I love mine but only after a month I keep getting 4 red blinking lights…I always turn off properly or put it on sleep..I do have idle power off on also..it is plugged in a surge protector but it’s new and not cheap or knock off.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong?🧐
Would you still recommend c2 over a80k in 77 for movies and sports?
How low will the 77 inch go, planning on getting from Costco.
Classy regarding motion.
You mention setting at 1 or min?
There is a difference, correct?
Yes, there are four levels of smoothing: minimum (off), 1, 2 and 3 (maximum).
@@Z4d0k Hey are you sure minimum turns motion smoothing off? I would think "off" would be off and minimum is a small amount. It would be nice to get at least 4 options instead of just 3
I want a 55 inch Sony A95K
Calibration of the tv is great
Does anyone know how to stop the TV locking to game mode on HDMI4 when VRR enabled? Tried to set ALLM to off on PS5 but no good
What 77" TV does better the upscaling from 1080i to 4K? A80J or QN90B or C1? Thanks.
A80J
@@ClassyTechCalibrations I'm actually with an 65" QN90B but I'm returning it to go to 77" and possibly OLED. Will I notice a big brightness loss seeing 1080i cable TV on an OLED vs the QN90B? I use the QN90B in standard mode with the brightness at 40 to see my cable TV. Is the A80J 77" a good upgrade for my case? Thanks.
Are the new A80K’s going to have 4 HDMI ports?
Excellent work, people need to use the LG AI process more so it can learn like the Sony
Hey Classy at 12:24 you are mentioning that the 77 inch A80J is brighter than the smaller sizes and also has minimal brightness difference in comparisation to the A90J. Has the 77 inch a different panel than the smaller sizes?
The 77s are all the same WBE 2021 panel. The 55/65 is mixed with those and WBC 2020 panels.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations How would I know the difference in panel? if the A80J is made in Jan 2022 does that means it has the WBE panel??
@@ownerr8441 you can look at the pixel structure to see if it's the newest 2022 EX panel by having a flat bottom white sub pixel with a small corner cut out of it on the right side. Otherwise need a spectro to measure the SPD to tell.
What is the name of the last game?
@Classy, The new "Evo" 2022 panel is more protected against burn in with its new components, isn't it?
Sure like lcd have the same blacks 🤣
Yep
Great video
Hi, How can i see if i have evo panel or not on my 77a80j?
Seems to be judder at 0.20 sideways motion?
Does anyone else's Sony a80j tv randomly make turning on/off noises (clicks) when the tv is off
I returned the c1 for a80j. The c1 is a phenomenal tv for the money but i absolutely hated the WebOs software. I have access to many more apps that use on my firestick with the a80j. If i had these options with the c1, I would've kept it.
Why did you not just use the fire stick with the C1 then? Anyways especially now with the VRR update the a80j is clearly better than the C1 in almost everything. The only problem is the unadjustable dimming (in gaming).
@@geiers6013 for some reason my firestick needs to be rebooted. I know it sounds like i am lazy but I like the fact that I don't need the firestick with the android os. Plus i have to say that my soundbar also works more efficiently with the a80j than it did with the c1. The one thing i have noticed is that the sports tickers on sports channels do run a bit better with the c1. All in all, they are both great tv's.
How is the C1 vs A80 picture wise
@@fishels3895 picture wise i think the a80j nudges out the c1. It is barely though. I think the sony has a bit brighter picture. I miss all the options that the c1 has for video games. I think lg does a fantastic job giving users a lot of options and control over their tv's.
Picture quality over gaming features all day long
I actually just pulled the trigger on the 77" A80j cause of this. I figure it's worth the shot if I can get what I want and save some money over the C2. It's best buy so I have a good return policy but here's hoping
You happy? Mini review please?
@@reyez2126 Very happy in fact. Have had it for a month now and it's overall been an excellent experience. I use it for a mix of streaming, Blu rays and gaming on my PS5 and PC. The image quality is absolutely superb. A lot of older shows (like Star Trek DS9) look much more crisp of the reality creation engine. Blu rays look fantastic (the Batman was gorgeous) and streaming shows look great (Obi-Wan Kenobi, For All Mankind, Strange New Worlds and Moon Knight). Compared to my old C8 it gets brighter and has less black crush, full screen bright scenes are much better on the Sony, bright highlights hit harder and skin tones are much better. Motion handling definitely is a big improvement in everything I watch. For gaming Its been flawless on both the PS5 and my pc. No issues with vrr and 4k 120 on either. I just grabbed a switcher from Amazon to split hdmi 4 and use arc for audio to my av reciever. The software experience has been very good with it overall being fast and responsive. I've struggled to find any big issues or problems with it to be honest. Overall I'd grab one while you can. At the current price it's a steal for what you get
@@Kenjis9965 I went ahead and bothy the tv off of bestbuy (canada) too and I got the four year additional accidental warranty as well!
Thank you for your mini review it definitely helped!
Can you link the hdmi thing you bought? I need to get that too.
@@Kenjis9965 have you experienced any of the ABL dimming issues when gaming that so many people talk about? It seems it might be a bug or maybe a panel lottery thing because I've seen people using it at max brightness with big static hud elements say it doesn't dim at all, and others playing games with little to no hud elements in them say it dims significantly over time
@@sengan2475 I think it depends on the games you play, duration and other factors. In short no i do not experience the abl issue others have reported and I've been very impressed with how it's worked for gaming
@Classy, based on your comparation video a80j VS x95j. Are there any similarities which can be applied also to x95j? During a day a hitting lot of sun from side window so I am thinking more about led with higher britness anyway as usual black is also advantage at night 😂 based on your expi with instalation could a80j handle this without any issue? Thank a lot
If you living room is slight dim then oled if it’s on the brighter side the x95j.
@@Jordanfiend361 This does not help, some expi should be better as general stuff
I’ll let you know in a week. Bought a80j for a new house to test in the living room.. South facing, 12’, floor to ceiling windows, in a very sunny state. Friend has same TV in bright room and that’s what sold me on this oled. Although, my room is a step up.
Have a bright q8 to compare it against. Hopefully all goes well. I’m sick of Samsung and all their issues.
@@curtisschmid7887 How did it go?
Hi, i just got an 55 a80j and it’s very dark in all the menus, youtube browsing and so on. When you play something it’s bright and shiny but when navigating, it’s quite dark. I’m using custom profile with all the settings turned off including light senzor. Is this normal?
Yes, Sony dims menus deliberately and this can't be changed.
A80j 55 bought it about a year ago it is ok tv. but if I go back in time I will not buy it.If I realized the brightness of tv not enough despite the positive reviews
Is image retention still an issue in gaming? Is it an issue only with gaming?
I’d like to know this too.
