There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I considered both the Sony A80J and the LG C1. Both looked great and both had good reviews but while the C1 is more focused on gaming, the A80J seemed to be more focused on movies and TV. In the end I chose the Sony for its XR processor and the surface audio speakers (where the entire screen is the speaker). The speakers are amazing compared to standard TV speakers and they fire directly toward the viewer with impressive bass. They are no match for a full external surround system of course, but likely the best sound you'll get outside of an external system.
Unpacking and installation was a breeze but you need two people. This television is so thin on most sides putting too much pressure on the glass is liable to cause it to break. This TV is light for its size but heavier than comparable models from other manufacturers. I mounted mine on the wall and aside from the power port, all the other ports are accessible on the left-hand side.
A remote is necessary as the only manual button controls are on the left side of the TV quite a bit away from the edge so reaching them to control the TV is extremely awkward. Fortunately the TV can be controlled by the Google TV app or by the remote that comes with the TV (preferred).
The remote has four dedicated service buttons (Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube) which are more hassle than they're worth because an accidental bump of them will jump you straight out of whatever you're watching and into the service. It's reasonable easy to correct but still a hassle. They are a handy shortcut if you want to jump straight into those services though without fiddling around in the menu looking for the right app to launch.
The color accuracy of this television is amazing and the black levels of the OLED screen are exactly why I bought this it. Having watched Dune (2021) on a Samsung LED FHD (2k) screen and then again on this screen it was a world of difference. On the older screen dark scenes had little detail and on the Sony the dark scenes showed the scales of the sandworm as it rose from the ground, individual hairs on people's heads in the dark, and perfect contrast. This TV is as close as I have ever come to theater-quality movie detail at home. Even non-4k content is impressively upscaled by this television and its XR processor.
Now for some gripes...
This television has an annoying tendency to forget which speaker output I want and will sometimes fall back to tv speaker mode when I want the external speakers. On a couple occasions it seems that it sent audio to both resulting in an echo between my center speaker and the TV speaker. The TV can act as a center speaker to an external system so it may be that mode was accidentally activated while I had an actual center speaker, I'm not sure.
The TV has a very convenient quick settings menu where you can change several things while watching your content, but some settings choices will cause you to jump out of your content and back to the main Google TV screen forcing you to open the settings again, make your adjustments and then return to whichever app you were using (or whichever input source you were watching).
Google TV search is great and searching for a movie will find it in all the places you have access to it including the option to purchase or rent. However, it does not seem to find movies you have available on your home network, for example on a NAS or in Kodi, which is a shame. I don't know if it can find movies in Plex that are on your home network as I haven't tried it. The search feature would be perfect if it could locate movies in the home network.
In summary: while this TV is not the least expensive by far, it is well worth the money if you're looking for the best picture and home movie theater viewing experience for a moderate budget. I could not see a discernable difference between this TV and the Sony A90J except the A90J has slightly more powerful sound due to an extra woofer behind the glass. The A90J is definitely not worth the price difference.
Fast forward to now… and I just bought this 77” Sony A80J OLED for $2,600!! What I’m getting at here is that right now…this is easily the BEST value:performance on the market!
I received the TV a couple weeks ago and have enjoyed enough content to give an honest opinion on it…
This TV is absolutely phenomenal!
First off, at 77”, this thing is MASSIVE! When I first received it and saw it in the box, I was like “holy sh*t!!” It’s a wall and it’s truly a personal theater experience!
The picture quality is something I’ve never experienced before… the CLARITY of this panel is absolutely INSANE! Movies and shows actually have DEPTH to them. The picture is SO real and lifelike that in some scenes you truly do feel like you’re there in the scene! The Cognitive Processor XR is REAL and it’s insane!
Coming from my 55” LG C9, I honestly wasn’t expecting a crazy leap in picture quality considering that’s an OLED TV too…. I was wrong…. This TV blows me away every time I turn it on!
I’ve watched The Martian and John Wick 3 in Dolby Vision. John Wick 3 was an absolute eye-gasm on this TV! I felt like I was THERE! The Martian was SO crisp and detailed! His helmet, the sand, again… I felt like I was IN THE MOVIE at times!
Gaming on this panel is simply on another level! I’ve been playing Ghost of Tsushima on my PS5 and this TV has me completely reinvested in the game! I work a lot so my gaming time has fallen off…. But, seeing the game on THIS TV, I cannot take my eyes off it! Gaming, to me, is really where the Cognitive Processor XR flexes its beastly power! Playing Ghost of Tsushima, every house, every blade of grass, the mud, things around houses like carriages; ABSURDLY detailed and realistic! You have to experience it to believe! It’s like playing the game for the first time, every time! And if you own a PS5, the A80J has exclusive features for the PS5 which are auto HDR and auto Tone Mapping. Basically, the A80J communicates with the PS5 to deliver a PERFECT picture! Like PERFECT! You don’t have to make ANY adjustments. The TV does it for you. It tells you as soon as you calibrate HDR on the PS5 that it’s done it for you. You don’t have to touch anything!
Another cool feature are the various picture modes this TV offers. “Custom” is essentially the TV intelligently calibrating to whatever you’re watching, and it works beautifully! Then there’s a dedicated “Netflix Calibrated Mode” which is Netflix perfected, as well as “IMAX Enhanced” which is mainly for Sony’s Bravia Core service that offers titles in IMAX quality with DTS. Both of which might be exclusive to Sony TVs. I don’t know of any other TV manufacturer that has them.
The sound this TV produces is also really good. There are actuators behind the panel that vibrate to produce sound with pinpoint on-screen accuracy and incredible crispness! I personally have Sony’s A7000 sound system(bought with the LG, HIGHLY RECOMMEND) so the TV is used as a center channel. Fantastic!
Finally, the A80J uses Google TV OS and I must say, it’s great! The UI is very intuitive. Searching for something on the Home Screen is fantastic. Search any genre and it pulls up all kinds of titles from all services that offer the title and you can jump to them directly from the Home Screen!
Overall, in my opinion, this TV is EASILY the best OLED currently on the market especially at its price! The 77” uses LG’s EVO panel so the brightness is good even in a bright room. Definitely brighter than my C9 was. The A90J in comparison videos looks to be about 10% brighter and that’s mainly in fine HDR highlights(10% window). Also, just to note, before deciding on this TV, I went to Best Buy to look at them all and I saw the Samsung S95B. You know, the one everyone is crazy about, because it’s QD-OLED…. Well, I’ll say this… the S95B probably had the most fake looking picture I’ve ever seen on any TV…. The reds were eye-searing and the greens were damn near neon…. The picture was beyond saturated and fake looking. It was ridiculous…. Just my two cents there….
If you’re in the market, BUY THIS TV!! Like NOW!! Before it gets discontinued…. The picture quality is truly beyond words! Even my fiancé, who’s not a tech person, has commented on the picture quality. Especially when I’m playing my PS5 saying “it’s so lifelike!” Yes, it is!! 😁
Fast forward to now… and I just bought this 77” Sony A80J OLED for $2,600!! What I’m getting at here is that right now…this is easily the BEST value:performance on the market!

Then there’s a dedicated “Netflix Calibrated Mode” which is Netflix perfected, as well as “IMAX Enhanced” which is mainly for Sony’s Bravia Core service that offers titles in IMAX quality with DTS. Both of which might be exclusive to Sony TVs. I don’t know of any other TV manufacturer that has them.
The sound this TV produces is also really good. There are actuators behind the panel that vibrate to produce sound with pinpoint on-screen accuracy and incredible crispness! I personally have Sony’s A7000 sound system(bought with the LG, HIGHLY RECOMMEND) so the TV is used as a center channel. Fantastic!
Finally, the A80J uses Google TV OS and I must say, it’s great! The UI is very intuitive. Searching for something on the Home Screen is fantastic. Search any genre and it pulls up all kinds of titles from all services that offer the title and you can jump to them directly from the Home Screen!
Overall, in my opinion, this TV is EASILY the best OLED currently on the market especially at its price! The 77” uses LG’s EVO panel so the brightness is good even in a bright room. Definitely brighter than my C9 was. The A90J in comparison videos looks to be about 10% brighter and that’s mainly in fine HDR highlights(10% window). Also, just to note, before deciding on this TV, I went to Best Buy to look at them all and I saw the Samsung S95B. You know, the one everyone is crazy about, because it’s QD-OLED…. Well, I’ll say this… the S95B probably had the most fake looking picture I’ve ever seen on any TV…. The reds were eye-searing and the greens were damn near neon…. The picture was beyond saturated and fake looking. It was ridiculous…. Just my two cents there….
If you’re in the market, BUY THIS TV!! Like NOW!! Before it gets discontinued…. The picture quality is truly beyond words! Even my fiancé, who’s not a tech person, has commented on the picture quality. Especially when I’m playing my PS5 saying “it’s so lifelike!” Yes, it is!! 😁

Si bien Samsung tambien es una compra segura de calidad su imagen no me gusta en lo personal y Hisense que también probé tiene una calidad de imagen extremadamente buena por el precio, el unico problema es que tienen una calidad pesima y el producto estaba mal en general ya que cuando me puse en contacto con soporte me comentaron que era normal mi problema que esperara una actualización.
En sony siempre tiene una calidad de imagen solida en todas sus gamas y es una apuesta segura, ademas que la calidad de sus productos es excelente, recomiendo apliamente esta tv. Soy una persona que tubo sony antes y me fui de la marca porque queria ver si las demás marcas tenían algo interesante y finalmente en mi experiencia termine regresando a la marca.
El vrr funciona bien en ambas consolas tanto en XBOX como PS5.
Combined with my Sony Soundbar, it's a true cinema experience.
I love the Google TV/Apple Airplay built-in, no need to use an extra HDMI port, and its great to have all my streaming apps in one place. I played Spiderman with the PS5 and it was an amazing experience with "performance RT" mode, it provided such a smooth gameplay I have not seen before.
Another bonus feature I just discovered that other reviews have not mentioned is the TV comes with a "media" app. I am able to plug in my portable drive and play any files including the latest codec files. The sound is amazing for a TV set, I set everything to max, and you can hear the 50watts of power.
Overall, I love this TV. I purchased it through Gibby's Electronic, they provided great customer service and I saved money on free shipping and no PST, kudos to them too.
When it was first delivered the box had a big gash in one side so I was worried about the delivery handling but the TV itself was undamaged.
Have had a few friends over and they are super impressed with the image quality and colours.
The brights can sometimes be overpowering during movie settings and the sound is lackluster but if you attach it to a surround sound system it works great. Also fantastic for gaming
I started up my PS5 and tried a game i've recently been playing and despite previously being on a 4k display everything looked so much more detailed because of the combination of OLED, HDR and Colour accuracy.
I'm sure the VRR helped too but im not really sure how much because the game doesnt natively support ot but its still a cool feature to have.
A lot of tvs have a tendency to limit your control over picture settings. This is not one of them, there are so many options to adjust and play around with your picture to achieve what you want. Ill be honest a lot of the XR settings like reality creation and motion smoothing are off for me because of preference but its great to have for if i want to enhance low res content.
When I was looking through different models and reviews I noticed some people saying the Sony Tvs are too dim. This can be true right out of the box but I recommend a) turning off the light sensor first b) changing the colour temperature to neutral c) setting luminescence to high.
