Customer Ratings & Reviews

I initially had a 48" LG OLED for my Series X in my game room which opened my eyes to how amazing the OLED tvs are. I wanted to replace out TCL LED TV in the living room with an OLED and decided on the Sony A80j. Pros: - A+ Picture Quality - Great for Gaming ESPECIALLY PS5! - VRR - 4K HDR Dolby Vision - PERFECT Blacks - NO backlight glow - NO panel clouding - Quick Response - Great additional built in features (Live Color Super Sampling) - Handles Reflections well - Gets bright Cons: - NOT for a VERY bright room with no way to control the light - Google TV is mediocre at best and sometimes sluggish (We use a Roku in place) I did a bunch of review diving online and YouTube and landed on the A80j. The main purpose of the TV was to be in the living room and be used for primarily Movies and TV with a secondary use being for the PS5. In conclusion of my research I realized that the A80j was better than the LG CX for Movies... Also a better option if you were using it with the PS5 since it is Sony and has an even better handshake with the console than a Xbox would. I also went forward with it for gaming since I knew that it would get VRR at a later date which it did. The picture is top notch and there is nothing better than OLED in my opinion. The only drawbacks would be if your room it is in in VERY bright. Like a room with many windows but no curtains or blinds. Ours is in our living room that has 3 windows that the tv faces (with blinds and curtains) as well as 2 windows in our kitchen (with blinds). I have zero complaints about the brightness. It also handles reflections very well imo. When you are sitting in just the right spot on the catch at the right time you can get some sun reflection through the blinds in the kitchen but it is really minimized with the type of finish the screen has. Games and movies look beautiful on this panel! It can output 120hz for gaming as well and looks great doing it! Do not be afraid to experiment with the additional features built inside of this TV. Sony is one of the best in the industry. Find a good baseline of what to have on and off online and tweak from there. You will be floored with the quality and clarity of this TV and never want to go back from an OLED. People worry about burn in but I think they WAY over think it. I have 2 OLEDs and have not been worried at all about it. Be smart... Don't leave it on a static screen forever. There is Pixel Shift, screen savers etc built into all the newer OLEDs!

OLED is no joke. You can read about black levels and infinite contrast all you want, but, until you witness it in person watching your favorite UHD discs, it becomes unbelievable relevant. Movies you've seen dozens of times, look so much better. Insane detail in texture, perfect blacks and black details, and in my opinion bright enough to make anyone say wow. I was worried about OLED not being bright enough, but in reality it is perfect for my room. I can control darkness day and night, but if you have a very bright room without window control, you may want to look at the brighter LEDs. But, you'll miss out on what makes OLED so great. Infinite contrast and pure black, which may sound like marketing, but it is true. What a difference it truly makes. I bought the 77" for my space. UHD discs, 4K Streaming (AppleTV+, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Discovery+) look amazing in that order. I sit about 12' from the screen and it is perfect for 4K viewing. I do notice a huge difference between 4K and 720P and 1080 programing streaming from YoutubeTV and other sources. But, that is to be expected. I went to a much larger TV at the same seating distance. Deal breaker, no. Youtube TV 4K streaming looks very nice on the limited live programming they offer, Thursday night Football, College Football, and Soccer that I've seen. If you're primarily going to watch streaming in HD, I may go with the 65" at a 10-14' seating distance. But, if you're going to watch movies and programs in UHD 4K, this size is a must. Other benefits include superior motion control. This is a feature I've always turned off in past televisions. But, Sony's software and high refresh rate is beyond comparison. Smooth clear action in sports and films. Finally, the Bravia Core platform this TV comes with is very nice. At this level TV, you get 5 movies and 12 months unlimited streaming at around 80Mbps...near UHD Disc data rates. Outstanding picture from this streaming service and it is included. Obviously, the A+ titles are for redemption while the B Movies are for unlimited streaming. Highly recommend the Sony-specific mount for this TV. It allows it to sit flush to the wall while also allowing you to pull it out enough to get to all of the inputs. Built very well. Pair this TV with a Panasonic UB820 UHD player and it is a match made in heaven. Superior picture and when tied to a surround system, amazing sound. Comparing to when I used my XBOX as my UHD player. Truly Awesome TV. Blacks and contrast are unmatched. Motion control is spectacular and Bravia Core is included for some amazing quality streaming content.

The 77 Sony a80j looks amazing. I own a 63 inch Samsung plasma and a 75 inch Sony 900e, and this oled is by far my favorite. The a80j gets brighter than I was expecting. In fact, I’ve had to turn down the brightness at night because it was hurting my eyes. The motion is also much better than I was expecting. In the motion flow settings, using 1 on smoothness and 1 on clearness, I like the motion better than my plasma or lcd. Obviously the contrast is also great due to it being an oled. It’s so nice watching sci-fi movies with pitch black outer space.

Sony has upped its game with this TV. See it to believe it. Pros: 1. PQ is a 10/10 at the least. 2. Upscaling is another 10/10. 3. Sound from tv is amazingly good, but obviously can’t beat a dedicated speaker. 4. Google tv interface and settings are easy to operate. 5. Bravia core is an amazing free app which changes streaming forever. 6. Build quality is superb. 7. 3 way stand is a welcome feature for soundbar placement or a narrow stand. 8. The tv gets bright enough for a well lot room as long as the tv is not directly facing the sun. Cons: 1. Only 2 hdmi 2.1 ports: A big downside for gamers 2. No VRR support at this moment which is another big issue for hardcode gamers. 3. The EARC implementation is buggy. A lot of audio dropouts and also the consumption/passthrough of lossless PCM transmission(from apple tv ) is really bad. Worth mentioning: the 55” and 65” model has a matte finish screen where as the 77” tv has a traditional Glossy screen. In dark rooms both perform equally well but in a well lit room, i feel the matte finish somehow appears blue and reflects light more from sides making the screen image look dimmer. The glossy one performs well even a well lit room.

What a great TV beautiful picture display. nice and bright vivid colors very thankful for my purchase. Perfect for the PlayStation 5 add a backlight for some extra ummff hopefully getting a sound bar to go with it as well!! Looking forward to future Sony products!

I've had this tv for nearly a month and no complaints yet- Oh wait; the remote control. While you can program it to control my Directv dvr, it still lacks some function buttons and is weird holding onto. ( I ended up getting a Harmony 665) As far as the rest of the tv goes, it looks great. It was a toss up between this and the LG C1, but after researching I felt like this one fit my lifestyle. I do not game at all, so what I saw was if you game, get the C1 and if you're into movies get the A80J. I have not changed the picture settings much, and the picture quality is awesome. One thing I was concerned about before buying was how the quality of non- 4k content was going to be. It is still very good in my opinion. Directv still broadcasts at 720p I believe, and depending on what show you are watching, it's still impressive. The 4k content on the streaming apps looks fantastic. However, 4k content is still pretty limited. I have Netflix, Hulu, Apple+, HBO Max, YouTube Premium and not that many movies and shows are in 4k, and even fewer in both 4k and Dolby ATMOS. But I'm sure more titles will become available soon. I have an android phone, so the Google TV built in for the streaming apps is slick. I connected my Google video library to it. Speaking of Dolby ATMOS, I bought the Sony HTA7000 soundbar and the Sony SA SW5 subwoofer and have it connected with the eARC connection and also with the center speaker connection so that the tv speakers are the center speakers in the set up. It sounds very good, especially when using ATMOS. As far as the rear speakers go, I was going to wait until Sony SAR S5 rear speakers are available. This whole package set my check book back a couple of notches, but I sure am enjoying it.

Stunning tv, has a few bugs with E-arc not working properly(Arc works fine with denon x4400h), but the picture quality makes up for the E-arc and V.R.R Update or lack there of??? Was on the fence between this and the Lg C1, went with sony purely off picture quality and upscaling, didnt see a big difference in gaming neither... my series X is still stunning pushing 4k @60hz dolby vision(Not a big deal considering I only play sports games and never seen a difference on my Cx in 120hz vs 60hz), but this Tv is that much better. My previous tvs are LG EF9500, LG B9, AND LG CX, So that should pretty much sum it up!!! Sony is the new king!!! (In My opinion of course lol)

I only give compliments and 5 star reviews when they are earned.. This Tv is impressive to say the least.. Its like watching everything for the very first time. We watched The Wizard of Oz in 4K the other night, and it was unlike anything I've ever seen before. I am currently having an issue streaming Atmos from the Tv to my Nakamichi 9.2 Soundbar, but I believe it's the HDMI cable I'm using so I'm stopping at Best Buy this afternoon to hopefully fix it.. Highly recommend this Tv. I was on the fence about which brand to buy between the new LG OLED. I'm glad I went with Sony, tho I can't speak about the quality of LG. Spending 3500 on a TV is a big decision and takes doing some homework ahead of time.. Glad i went with this one..

This TV is so awesome. Best Buy’s Geek Squads install/wall mounted the TV in our living room just in time for our daughter’s birthday and she and her friends got to enjoy it watching the Disney’s Jungle Cruise and Black Widow. The sound is amazingly very good with out having the need for a sound bar and the picture clarity is so vivid. The blacks are just that, black - not gray. At 77” I highly suggest having it professionally installed as this thing is HEAVY!!! If it ever comes in 120” size I would get it in a heartbeat.

If you love Oled and its characteristics, then you'll love this model. I previously was an LG C1 (65")user and that panel is phenomenal! There was an unfortunate accident with the C1 and put me back on the market for a new tv. I tried out the Sony A80J(65") but I hated the matte screen due to its aggressive visual muting (hard to describe). I then for other reasons decided to move to 77". I wanted the new ATSC 3.0 functionality and Sony is the only one that carries it so far. Since this 77" has a glossy instead of matte coating, it really shines. Picture quality is top notch. Gaming on the C1 is slightly better but the Sony A80J is no slouch. You cannot go wrong with the A80J or the C1 but I choose this one out of my prefernce.

We were going back and forth on upgrading to the oled when we moved into a new house and now I’m glad we did. We play games on the Nintendo switch and have no problems at all. The picture quality is excellent. We have a sn8yg lg sound bar that is performing fine with the Sony Bravia A80J 77” so we have not upgraded sound bars as of yet. We love watching football and the tv keeps up with sports. I was worried about the screen being darker but it’s not at all, I am satisfied with the brightness of the colors. Of course when the signal comes broadcast in hd the tv really shines. We are all satisfied with this tv

So far so good. I've spent many a nights so far watching Spartacus ( for the 3rd time.) It's like a seeing all the gory kills for the 1st time again! I can't wait to re-watch Gladiator, GOT, etc all over again to catch the things only OLED allows me too see. 77" is great but you always want more, lol! Just in time for the holidays, thank goodness.

There is Bravia then there is MEGA Bravia with OLED. This Sony - 77" Class BRAVIA XR A80J Series OLED 4K just really out performs in every way. The color res, the black vs white color rendition, the performance with refresh etc. This unit is the king of big screen tv. I have purchased SONY since 1978 and this generation has just outperformed visually. The TV has great streaming access via the Android OS system on it and with watching NETFLIX or YouTubeTV it out performs itself in every way. 4K is stunning. I use Presonus self powered speakers from the headphone out (variable output) and It just blows me away with the quality. I really recommend this TV.

Unbelievable picture and features! You must have Dolby atoms and Dolby vision movies/tv shows to get the full effect of this tv. I did also get the HTA-5000 with wireless subwoofer and does really help with sound! We did buy a bigger tv stand!

Beautiful picture and very elegant to watch. Picture is very sharp and the contrast is very good. Colors are vivid and as a gamer it really makes the games seem so much more enjoyable

Great television , beautiful picture quality and decent sound , the picture quality is best in class and the interface is easy to learn I bought in sale however still expensive compared to lot of other standard led however you pay for the quality

Have had this incredible tv for about 10 days now and still amazed at the picture quality. Coming from a 2019 77” LG oled so I wasn’t sure I’d see much difference but happy to say there is. Both in colors-they seem a little more spot on and there is more depth to them as well as the brightness is better.

Amazing clarity and picture. The software works perfectly and the setup is ideal for those in the Sony ecosystem (soundbar, Playstation)

The picture and sound are amazing! It has all the needed streaming channels built-in and the top ones listed on the remote. It is super user-friendly and connects with my husbands and my phone and streams our grandsons pictures on the screensaver. It even has voice control on the remote. BEST TV ever!

This is my first OLED set, having migrated from a previous Bravia LED set. The delivery was smooth and the guys placed it where I wanted. Unboxing was not an issue though it does require two people. You need help when attaching the feet as well. After that, it is a simple setup. I like the picture clarity and the amazing sound. It is sad that not much of the usual network/cable TV content is crisp. However, when watching movies and Netflix, you will realize the true potential of this set. Additionally, if you can find 4k content, you will be blown away. The remote is designed well however I do miss the sync button that lets you switch between external devices. I am very pleased with the purchase and hope that the set will last for a long time. I have been pleased with many Sony products I have owned over the years and optimistic that this will be the same experience.
