Fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best tv in the market. Was weighing on sony oled and samsung qled, but sony is a clear winner. Pictures look closer to reality in sony oled than in qled. A little pricy but worth an upgrade from samsung full hd lcd to oled screen.

Mediocre entry-level OLED
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The A80K Sony’s entry-level OLED television in the US. Compared to the 2019 model A9G Master Series, which was much more costly when it came out, you can definitely tell where Sony cut corners to bring the price down. Unfortunately, the A80K is the only 77 inch television that Sony now makes. The A80 models do not use the “Master Series” moniker, as they’re not considered part of Sony’s “premium” line of televisions. The picture quality is quite dim and colors are overly-saturated to make up for the lack of brightness. The built-in speakers are tinny, flat, and unbalanced; dialogue mode helps, but it reduces the bass to almost non-existent levels and the highs are boosted to the point of being harsh and unpleasant, even after manual equalization and acoustic calibration. The older A9G had 3.1 channel sound and the center channel really made all the difference there; the A80K removes the center channel and instead goes with a 2.1 channel sound setup. It features 4 HDMI connections, yet only two of them are HDMI 2.1 and one of these 2.1 HDMI ports is what is used for a sound bar, so if you use a sound bar, that leaves only one HDMI 2.1 port available for use; definitely an oversight on Sony’s part. If you have a PS5 and Xbox Series X, and a sound system, that means only one of them can be used for features like variable refresh rate, 120hz. Also, keep in mind that this TV CANNOT do VRR and Dolby Vision at the same time, you have to pick one or the other (standard HDR 10 is used with VRR; the LG C2 can do Dolby Vision and VRR at the same time). Onto the good: The saturated colors do make this television stand out when compared to other brands and it makes ordinary content look vibrant. The sharpness is nice and crisp and holds up when in motion. The perfect blacks really stand out when watching content in a dark room, and there is not any perceptible crushing of blacks even when slightly boosting the contrast to help boost the brightness. When connected to a PS5, this tv auto-calibrates to the optimal settings for the best possible picture quality with low latency and no additional tweaks are necessary; pretty neat feature. The built-in Google TV is snappy and responsive. It’s much better than the clunky mess that is LG’s WebOS. The remote works like a remote with no gimmicky waggle features or too many buttons. In summary: Yes, the A80K is Sony’s entry level OLED television and it shows. The LG C2 is the main competitor, and the C2 is LG’s mid-tier line of OLED televisions. LG really brought their A-game this year and the LG C2 has really bested Sony at the same price-point - offering more features, a brighter panel, 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, and very natural non-saturated colors. It seems that LG’s C2 is the better value for the money. Although Sony has built a very strong brand reputation in the electronics market and LG’s reputation has been…spotty at-best…you may want to take some time, do some side-by-sides, and some research before making your decision this year, especially if you’re in the market for the best 77 inch OLED TV.

The sale at the store went smoothly. Associated helped load the TV up into my truck and off I went home to install. Nothing was missing from the box and installation took minutes.
