Sony - 65" class BRAVIA XR A80K 4K HDR OLED Google TV

Awesome oled Supports vrr allm with hdmi 3 and 4 (must go in tv settings and change mode) Sound is impressive with TV by itself! Bright, but easy on my eyes, they are sensitive to super bright TVs while gaming. This tv does not disappoint! Differences from Sony a80j a minimal New model is thicker, but picture is better, also sound is better. If you get out have the a80j, be happy this tv isn’ta huge upgrade. The a80j has a more premium feel. This tv ultimately costs more for a minimal upgrade. If your in the market and are considering this tv vs lg or Samsung I’ll just say, the Sony is more refined.

Wanted the 77” initially but could not pass up the july 4 A8H 65” sale! And two years to pay it off! Using the Sanus wall mount along with the Sonos arc. All from Best Buy! Delivered and set up properly by the Best Buy crew!

Coming from a 15 year old Plasma TV - this picture is amazing. We also really like the speakers built into the screen and the great sound quality. The only down side is now we can see all the really bad makeup jobs on some of the actors!

Great tv, beautiful picture. Looks great in my newly renovated living room. The sound is great even without a sound bar. I’m still exploring all the possibilities on the tv.

Love the TV picture is great. Would buy again. Also was a great price.

So far so good! Great picture clarity, beautiful realistic colors.

After about 10 years of service my Panasonic P55VT50 didn't wake up last week so time for a new TV. I picked up a 65" LG C1 and returned it. The LG was not bad. HD streaming from my Roku and PS5 gaming was quite good. I just couldn't get past the LG processing for the compressed comcast signal. It just didn't look very good on the C1. I'm not a Sony fan boy but after doing some research it seemed like the general consensus was that the Sony's processing and handling of the lower grade content was better so I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. The 65" Sony A80K TV handles the cable signal much better than the C1. Much better picture while watching comcast. The picture with HD content is also slightly better on the A80K. I think it has better detail. I prefer the out of the box color on the A80K as well but again not by much and that is personal preference. Motion and gradient on the A80K are also slightly better then on the C1 (again the Sony processing). I also prefer the less glossy screen on the A80K as I think is handles glare slightly better. I realize this TV is about $900 more than the C1 right now and you'll have to decide for yourself if it is worth it or not. For me it was. I also realize that it is a little unfair to compare the C1 to the A80K. LG's new C2 is its true competitor but there is enough out there to conclude that the Sony's processing which was what was important to me is still going to be better than the LG C2. It isn't all good for the A80K though. A TV this price not to have 4 HDMI 2.1 slots is really unfortunate. This was a real miss from Sony as this was also a complaint on the A80J from last year. I'm not a gaming expert but it does seem like LG's are more gamer friendly. LG's C1 and C2 both have 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. You can get around the lack of 4 HDMI 2.1 ports for multiple HD gaming systems with a compatible 4k AVS receiver but with what you pay for the A80K you shouldn't have to and the reason I won't give this TV 5 out of 5. I don't care about the sound from TV speakers as I connect to an AVS receiver. I don't care about the TV operating systems as both were fine. Basically I disagree with many of the reviews out there. I think the picture quality of the 2022 OLED models is noticeably better than the previous 2021's currently on sale. The A80K's picture is absolutely gorgeous out of the box and worth the extra cost to me over last years LG C1. If you're a gamer or don't want to spend $2700 after tax on a TV the C1 is still excellent while on sale. I'm a casual gamer who puts a premium on picture quality which is why the A80K was better for me.

The Sony A80K is excellent for most uses. It performs best in dark rooms while watching movies because it displays deep blacks without any blooming in dark scenes. It's excellent for HDR because of that dark room performance and the fact that it displays a wide range of colors, but its HDR brightness isn't high enough for the best HDR experience. It's great for watching TV shows and excellent for sports in well-lit rooms thanks to its wide viewing angle and incredible reflection handling, but it doesn't get bright enough to fight a ton of glare. Lastly, it's fantastic for gaming as it has variable refresh rate (VRR) support with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, a quick response time, and low input lag.
