A: Hi Dubb, thank you for your question. Due to the size of the 83" Sony uses a different backing on the 83A80L to provide structural integrity for the larger screen size. The 83A80L is closely related to the A90J in many features including design, center channel mode, and even includes a heat sync. But, the 83A80L is equipt with the new 2023 Cognitive Processor XR that includes many new improvements over the J and K series XR Processor. One of which is the all-new XR Clear Image feature for added clarity no matter what content you are watching. Our Pure Black OLED TV powered by Cognitive Processor XR™ delivers remarkable contrast and every single detail, even in dazzling light or deep shadow. Sound comes directly from the screen, ingeniously immersive. Regards, Erin
A: It is already as bright or brighter than the 83" A90J. From what I understand the A80L 83" is able to do this with a smaller heat sink than what is used on the A90J 83". I have not done a side-by-side comparison of the A80L 83" and the smaller size A80L displays, but I have done a side-by-side comparison of the A90J 83" that has the larger heat sink and the A80L 77" and the A80L 77" has a brighter picture. I am pleased with the brightness of the A80L 83". It appears from the research that I have done, that Sony used some of their older technology with an enhanced XR processor to achieve what seems to be a brighter picture with a smaller heat sink for the A80L 83".
