This was a great value TV, imho. I like Samsung electronics, too. But lack of Dolby Vision and Dolby DTS support excluded Samsung television from my list. The LG C2 looked very, very nice too. But it was a bit pricier, but had an an arguably brighter screen. The A80K does have slightly less brightness, but it displays very well in our fairly bright family room. The Sony does everything pretty well. Absolutely no blooming, layering, stuttering, and displays colors accurately and vividly. Blacks are inky black. Settings are easy to change and very user friendly. TV sound is good but I use a Vizio soundbar without any compatibility issues and it sounds great. It’s a very well constructed TV and very little wobble noted with its well engineered stand with adjustable width. Another outstanding feature of the A80K is its anti-reflective screen technology. Our TV, when not on, clearly reflects windows which are opposite the TV placement. This was deeply concerning to me until I turned the TV on. Reflections disappeared and when the screen displays a lighter background, you can very faintly see a momentary reflection but it is not distracting. At all. The TV seems very good for upscaling lower content movies and TV. It’s excellent for sports. The A80K really shines when playing 4k movies. I couldn’t be more impressed!! Wide viewing angles is nice for our seating arrangement, which is fairly wide. Overall, we are completely satisfied with our choice of the A80K over the other brands. Especially for the price.

The last few TVs I owned were by Samsung, the last of which was a 4K LED from 2016 (KU-6290 to be exact). This is my first time owning a Sony or an OLED, and the bottom line is that this is a huge upgrade in every conceivable way. Colors are vivid and full of life while remaining amazingly accurate, only a few minor adjustments were needed out of the box. Digitally shot films and shows appear very clean crisp, while film grain from other sources is rendered in a way that looks very natural and refined. OLED certainly looks its best when viewed in a dark room, but brightness holds up surprisingly well in bright room with various light sources as well. Motion is rendered impeccably well, especially compared too my preceding Samsung TVs. The built in speakers provide serviceable sound, and the sound calibration feature that utilizes the remote’s mic is a nice touch. Apps load quickly once TV is booted up, Google TV interface is snappy and easy to navigate. The ability to customize input layout lends great sense of convenience and control. Overall, this is easily The best TV I’ve owned so far. Purchased as an open box item, it was practically brand new with only a few hours of use and yet nearly 50% off the current regular price. Even if I paid full price I’d feel as though it’s a worthwhile investment. If you’re in the market for an OLED, this is a high quality model for the asking price and I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Sony has trully outdone themselves with this television. The picture quality, ease of use, and setup is like nothing I've ever seen. All of this, complemented with the Sony signature sound quality, it is a best in class product.
