When will we see a review of the LG QNED TVs? Will the 8k (99 Series) be necessary or will the 4K with older processor be good enough? I have a plasma tv with burn-in, so I’m weary of OLED. Or can I pull the trigger on the Sony A80J and not worry?

@kojak99100 3 года назад

@@kylemaroun6903 I was worried about burn in too… nevertheless I tried my first OLED about 2 years ago (65A8G). No burn in or image retention issues at all. (I don’t game on it). So that gave me the confidence to get the A90J. I think this generation of OLED’s is much less susceptible to burn in than the early generations were.

@usbpc2 3 года назад

Hey Caleb! First off, thank you for what you do, I love watching your content and you definitely help the decision-making process. You did ask once for suggestions about what we'd like to see, and maybe it's just me but I think it'd be beneficial to actually mention prices at the time of making your videos. Like in this instance it would've been useful to compare both prices of these TVs. That's just one man's humble opinion. Keep doing what you're doing!

@penrodsfam3402 3 года назад

I wanted a brighter OLED and got the A90J . The best looking tv I have ever seen. Everyday I'm impressed!

@khobia2 3 года назад

I bought the 65A80J a few weeks ago and I love it. Upgraded from a 50 inch HD Vizio M-Series. Man I couldn’t be more pleased. Finally enjoying 4K and HDR. I’m binging old shows and dusting off old Blu-rays. And I’m with you Caleb couldn’t justify right now shelling out $4000+ to enjoy greater brightness. These TVs shine not only in contrast but those specular highlights even in SDR. That processor just makes shiny things pop along with doing a hell of a job handling low quality stuff. And though not an A90J the A80J is plenty bright. And as far as audio quality I use my home theater system anyways. I’m happy with my purchase. Thanks for the comparison and sensible analysis. Hope you hit those million subscribers.

@Mutas3 2 года назад

Hi Celeb, Great comparison as always! As I mentioned in one of your old reviews of Sony A9G, I've got the A9G 77 inch and I'm very happy with it. Yes, I do like the new adjustable stand of A9J but quality wise I believe they are very similar when you don't take the brighter panel into consideration. For that, I have the LG G1 Oled and I'm okay with having different TVs as they all have something unique to offer. Thank you once again and I can honestly tell you, you are offering very valuable information for those that are about to make a purchase of a new TV set sitting on the fence about what they should do and I really appreciate that. And I'm sure a lot of folks would have agreed with me. Keep up the great job, Celeb!

@greeneye5977 2 года назад

Totally agree about the OLED brightness complaints being overblown. My Sony is plenty bright and I found the deep blacks and better overall picture quality to be the deciding factor over an LED.

@stianjarnass Год назад

Yeah it's just a marketing trick. And also a lot of RU-vid presenters push the idea you need brighter. My a90j is more than bright enough 🙏

@absolutium Год назад

..for every other situation you need to "move" or extend that 203 margin further into higher luminance.. so that you still can perceive what is happening (just like when you are listening to music in the car in a noisy environment).. but.. What happens when you watch 980nit content with a 750nit panel?

@absolutium Год назад

..well it gets worse the nit count which was already lacking in the begining is going to get worse due to degradation every single year we are using it.. at some point we are going to be watching a 450nit panel trying to show detail from 1000 or 4000 nit content.

Another fantastic review Caleb! Absolutely love your work and reviews. Down to earth, honest, and exactly what the average consumer to TV enthusiast needs. I just purchased the A80j and it arrives this weekend. I’m super excited! I’m returning it from the x2 x95J’s I had that had really bad screen uniformity issues (grid DSE) on both. I know this set will not be as bright (in my very bright room) but hopefully the contrast ratio helps. It looks like the 77” has a glossy finish Vs the 65 and 55 so that should help. Fingers crossed, it’s my first OLED!

@AbrahamLaria 3 года назад

I bought my A80J 65" a month ago and I'm in love with the picture quality and features of that TV. Paired with my Sony 7.2 a/v system is like having a movie theater at home. A90J might be "better" but its price is too much, at least for me. Once you have the A80J at home you will be amazed and will not miss the A90J at all. And let me tell you this, in real live A80J is so bright that sometimes it is hard to look at the screen when there is too much white on the scene. So I don't know why someone would want anything brighter than that, unless you're used to watch TV with sunglasses on. Also don't judge it by the quality of the image coming from your cable box or Internet tv provider. It will be 1080p at best but even with that it looks fantastic. Try watching 4k HDR or even 8K from RU-vid and other sources and that is where this TV really shines.

That's the shame of it - cable has terrible picture quality and it's where most of us still watch most of the content... It's 1080i at best but the bit rate makes it closer to 480p and 720p... Also set your cable box to 1080i, not 1080p. You don't want the cable box doing any upscaling - you want your TV to do ALL the upscaling.

I am running a Panasonic DP UB820-k 4k player and an Apple TV 4K through my Sony 3.1 HT-Z9F sound bar using the eARC. I use Rocketfish 8k ultra high speed DMI cables. Is this the best way to achieve the best sound and picture quality? Or should I be running the cables directly to the tv from the video sources? thank you in advance

@ctbarker321 3 года назад

Bought the A80J65 the first week it began shipping. I upgraded from a 2016 Samsung LCD. A80J has been fantastic. My TV sits on a stand that is only 40 inches in width so the A80J's flexible stand settings were a big consideration. I use the default Cinema settings with the Netflix setting for HDR. The image is stunning. Also, very happy that Sony went with Google TV for the interface. Other companies with proprietary UI will have to adopt this at some point. The Sony A80J currently is the number one TV in this product category when considering Picture, Features, and Price.

@skwerlee 2 года назад

Awesome video! I’m still rocking my 60” plasma (2013 Panasonic TC-P60ST60.) The panel currently has 14,550 trouble free hours on it, and still looks stunning when viewing high-quality content. The only problem has been that the optical audio out port broke (literally crumbled) over a year ago so I can’t use the soundbar any longer. I am seriously considering upgrading this Fall to the Sony A80J 65” OLED. From all I’ve read, if you love the look of plasma then OLED is the only thing you’ll be happy with.

I think your reviews of these TVs are spot on. The picture quality is undeniable. I bought a 65 in A80J I think this best picture quality I've seen on any TV. For a TV the sound quality is great, no more turning the sound up and down hear the dialog. Sure you can spend the extra money on the A90J. But for the average viewer the A80J is a better bargain for a great visual impact.

Thanks for the video. I’ve always had the opinion that the tv really doesn’t matter when you don’t have another one to compare it to. I’m sure if I had a C1 or A80j in one room an a90j in the next I’d wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.

The A90J is much better TV than the A80J. The A80J is a great TV for the money because it gives you a great picture especially in 4K viewing. However, the A90J takes you to the next level because of the EVO panel which is brighter than A80J.

@randynorris8018 2 года назад

@Caleb Denison Hey Caleb great videos and great new post covid look! I am hoping you can answer this - the smaller versions of the a80j have a matte finish but the 77 inch has a glossy finish. Is that the same glossy finish as the 83 inch a90j - and the reason I ask is because the 83 inch a90j seems to handle reflections really well suggesting that perhaps something extra was added but I have no idea. Similarly no one seems to know if it is the same with the 77 inch a80j. Thanks so much.

@hieuluu2 3 года назад

Bought the A80J 77" 8 weeks ago. LOVE IT. My only advice is to hardwired the internet instead of using wi-fi, why? Sony also includes Bravia subscription, which streams IMAX Ultra 4k Atmos between 50mbps-100mbps. HBOMAX and Netflix also offered 4k Ultra Dolby Atmos, but a bit compressed, still you want the fastest speed for the best Ultra 4k quality. I tried using the wifi feature and Netflix, HBOMAX, and BRAVIA TV suffered from buffering when streaming Ultra 4k and picture quality changes from 4k to 1080 depending how busy your wireless wifi is working.

Caleb, when I adjust a high dynamic image in photoshop or lightroom, more often than not I'll bring down the whites and the blacks while bumping up the shadows and highlights (then bump down the whites even more to make up for those same brightened highlights). This way (or me), highlight detail isn't lost and my eyes aren't blown out by the brightest parts of the image--but the mid-highlights and shadows are bumped up for greater vibrance and detail. Is there a way to adjust these Sony sets that does roughly the same thing?

@evanessencephotography4385 2 года назад

Home theater is a very important quality of life issue to me and I could not resist an OLED at this size and this price. Just a few years ago, a 77 inch OLED was over $25K. Also, my local brick and mortar A/V shop treats me very well and always gives me an extremely fair trade in value on the last TV I bought from them.

I had planned to get A80J, glad to see you agree. My concern was mainly heat, I have heard the A90J gets significantly hotter, you can heat your room with it! I do with the A80J had the center channel input, but I probably wouldn't use it anyway since I have a dedicated system.

I bought the Sony A80J in a 65 inch for $1799 and the picture quality is amazing! I thought about purchasing the A90J but I couldn't justify an extra $1000 for HDR brightest. A80J is a great TV ! Motion can be a bit of a concern, I turned of the cinema motion, and set motionflow to custom, and clearness to 1 and smoothness to max because I watch a lot cable TV. However, if one likes to watch 4k's and Blu-Rays the cinema motion should be set to high. One thing about motion is suppose to be smooth. These settings are my experience and I think just make the motion tolerable.

Amazing tv's , I wonder if neutral sound is possible on tv speakers?Do you know why neutral sound on tv speakers sound quiet? I tried to make my lg b9 tv speakers flat , it sounds amazing but the volume is not that right , do you know why? I an more interested in the sony a90j I think it's overall better

I got the a80j, it replaced my x950h and I love it. The odd thing though, even in hdr, it looks the same for daytime. At night, I love that I don't have the halo effect of the qled on loading screens. My room gets bright in the day but not overly bright so the OLED still stands out (it actually gets brighter than the Hisense I had)

I have both. The A90 is brighter and gives a sense of more depth. But the A80J is still bright enough and brings out more detail by not over brightening the images. Winner...A80J hands down.

Excellent job as always Caleb! I absolutely love the A80J at 77" however if you can swing it and really want the extra few percent of performance and peak brightness of the A90J I feel it's worth it but more importantly it's nice to have the option this year to choose. Hope all is well my friend

To be honest my perceived brightness is not really different than the U8G and it makes cable and all SDR look almost native. It is amazing,

@stephencampbell9886 2 года назад

Nice TV. OLED probably is the future. Sony will have to develop the next big thing in panel technology. To me Sony still feels special. I can't afford to buy them all but I can partake in rampant consumerism by watching product reviews like this one. Thanks for the heads up! Thumps up!

I would love to see DT do more smaller screen size TV reviews. I need to replace a terrible 49” TCL Roku TV and there are so few small screen (less than 55”) reviews out there. I know big screens are super popular but smaller sizes are much harder to find quality information and reviews on.

@jasonleonard4529 3 года назад

I was debating between the 65” A90J and the 77” A80J and I opted for the 77” A80J and I couldn’t be happier. I have an external sound system so any audio is irrelevant to me. The maximum amount of brightness possible from a TV also isn’t too important to me as I prefer a more natural calibrated look that doesn’t get brighter than the sun haha! The A80J checked all the boxes for me. I was also able to get it for under $3,100 “out the door” so that was awesome too.

@@dcdread5983 I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with it if you get it. I specially bought it at this time (before Black Friday) to be ready for the football season! I have only watched one NBA Finals game so far and it looked pretty good. Honestly, I did feel like the players looked a little sharper on my 13 year old 50” Samsung plasma, but it really is the signal being pushed to the TV. This was before I calibrated it. I have it all dialed in for cable at this time and I’ll let you know how it looks after watching the game tonight!

both x90j and x95j are huge downgrades from last year's x900h and x950h. so I suggest you buy x900h (if you're a gamer) or x950h (if you're a movie watcher).
