You might wanna read details about that 5 years warranty (unless you paid allstate insurance for the 3 years). I bought the 55" X900CH LED 1 year and 11 months ago and last week died on me. Contacted Costco and they told me there was 2 years total warranty, 1st year Costco, 2nd Year Sony. Luckily enough it was still under warranty. I contacted Sony Concierge and the Rep was amazing. Expedited the process and offered me an upgrade. Paid only $400 for the upgrade.
Hi,could you please help me and let me know if the ASBL on the A80K is very aggresive?,I mean,when it dims the bright of the entire scene due to logo detection on videogames or channels.Thanks in advance.
Had a problem with my A90J screen and Sony's support was excellent. After few mails, they sent people to subsitute my TV. Don't hesitate to buy Sony productts. I just wished their phones will have pure Android software like what they did on TVs with Google TV.
You are lucky bro, here in India, Sony doesn’t bother it’s customers. I bought 43 x80h model, exactly after 1 year the display developed lines, I use TV daily for 3hours only. When I raised complaint to Sony customer care, they never sent any response even after 1 month. I had to file a complaint in, consumer court. Then they responded and took 1 month again, to change the display. And their customer care and their technicians behaviour, is just like rogues. They only care about minting money and nothing else.
There not perfect. I had issue and after many messages, disagreements and having to send pictures and video to prove I had a issues 1 month later they said the would exchange the TV if the technician agreed. And when he came he said yes definitely a issue with the panel and doesn't understand why Sony was so awkward to disagree when it is clear on the pictures and video sent.. I have the Sony X94J.
Great video , looks very clear compared with the A80J I had , what is your source ? are you using only wifi or you have some cable from a gizmo ? Thanks
I have the A80j 65 inch now but i need another TV cuz the old plasma in the bedroom died so i wanna put the A80j inda bedroom and i want 75 or 77 inch for the living room would u recommend this A80K ?
Hey Tim, I love your videos!! Been following for a long time now. I have last year's model of this set4, the A80J. It's beautiful, and I have to add that it's one of the brighter OLEDs. When you get up into the larger sets, like my 77", it uses LG's more advanced EVO panel. This 65' you reviewed does not. So you will not see the best brightness. Also, you won't see the best results with your room being so bright. I am now a big fan of OLED, but I watch in a light controlled room. Keep those great videos coming!!
Hey Tim, what size tv was that? I purchased a 65 inch version. But thinking about a 77 inch. But im not sure i have room for a huge 77 inch. My living room is moderate size. What do you recommend?
Hi you didn't say anything about the Sony Bravia Core app with the TV...?🤔 It's have great picture quality and to me great clear audio with DTS audio... I don't have the OLED but I have the Sony XR 65 inch X94J with audio played with Sony XF9000 sound bar.. 😁👍
Best Buy had the X95K and A80K next to each other with same demo videos. They looked mostly identical in the store. I bought the A80K and am completely happy. It replaces a same sized X900E. The lack of blooming around text is a most welcome improvement. The black levels on The Return of the King was a blast on my first movie with the new set. I do have a room with only one curtained sliding door that doesn't shine on the set, so the slightly lower brightness isn't an issue for me.
Hey,great video like always.I got a huge issue about this TV.When am turning it off with remoute then it turns on sometime automatically,after few minutes or few hours or next day.Please can you help me ? I bought this TV two days ago,if the issue can't be fixed so am gonna send it back
Does this tv have any judder or blur issues? I bought a Samsung 4k TV and I has a lot of judder and blur and it's driving me crazy. So, I'm returning it and got this tv being delivered to me.
Nice man gaming looks smooth and great colors. I might get the 42 inch a90k for my ps5 the a80k is a bit pricey but i cant fit any bigger than a 50” tv on my stand since the room is rather narrow. But the a90k will suit well for my needs idk i might wait till black friday since its a month away and check best buy or amazon for a deal but i wonder if i wait until next year if they’ll drop the 42” for a 1000$. I could see it dropping to 1200$ maybe 1100. But well see but at 1000$ or 1100$ thats a good deal for this tv but idk sounds like the samsung s95 is a bit brighter though since its qd-oled. Also i have a sony les thats 9 yrs old and still works. Sony products are built like tanks lol. But idk the a90j 55” is currently 1800$ at best buy thats a killer deal and brighter than a80j plus heat sink. What do you think man should i go a90j or a90k? I doubt a90j will go cheaper than 1800$ oddly enough the a80j is more expensive than a90j at best buy. Its 1900$ thats super odd
Hi so I've just had delivered the 2022 55a75ku which i think is simliar spec to this. Any i have the xbox series x when going though hdmi settings to set it on vrr i noticed one above it was dolby vision..do you have to alter the settings everytime u want ro use dolby over vrr ? Just i use my Xbox for ultra 4k Blu-ray movies as well.
Is it normal 4 the screen 2 look warped in certain spots when itz off and u look at it from an angle? Just bought 2 of these TV'S and they both have similar issues? Please let me know asap if u can, I don't want 2 keep swapping out TV'S if itz meant 2 b like that, I thought that the screen should look perfect, like a mirror when itz off...
PLZ HELP im.confused between A80K ,LG C2 AND A80L..PLZ PLZ SUGGEST AS IM WORRIED OF BRIGHTNESS ISSUE ON A80K ORELSE I WANT TO GO WITH A80K.at USD 1500 For A80L 65 INCH AND USD 2042 FOR A80K 65 INCH IN DUBAI .
Recently bought this tv had a concern with the power connection port. Is the wire suppose to be loose like it feels it doesn’t sit tight like there play on it.
Hi, have you got the exact narrow a80k stand dimensions, so the inside and to the very outer of the feet please? My draws are very close to what I've seen advertised. !!!
If the long Sony sticker on the screen was missing, should I be concerned?? There was a yellow energy savings sticker on it and all else in the box was in tact.
People, people, people, are you getting sucked into the hype of 4K tvs and all that 4K stuff for your movies? Don't do it! Go back to your 1080p tvs and save your money. Because you know what, 4K doesn't make that much of a difference anyway. It's all about the marketing, folks. They're just trying to sell you what you don't need. So stay strong and save your money, and stick with that 1080p that is perfectly fine and you don't need to upgrade!
Question; Is it true that the remote connects to the TV via Blue Tooth rather than standard IR? If we buy this TV, it will be sitting right beside another Sony TV and I don't want the remotes interfering with each TV. If this TV's remote is Blue Tooth, then no issue.
Has anyone had a problem with this TV suddenly going black and you can't bring the picture back? There's still sound but it just went black and right along the edge There's a colorful thin line going from top to bottom along the one side. If so do you know of a fix to stop that from happening. Ty😊
Yes that happens to me when I'm using UA-cam TV. It only happens on a couple of channels ESPN & ID. I have to hold the power button & restart the tv to get out of it. I spoke with a technician that I bought the TV from and they said it had something to do with the youtube tv app not the tv its self. He told me to try running youtube tv through my Playstation or any connected input & see if that helps. I tried it & it worked but I did not like the picture as well because it was in game mode & couldn't change it so I just put up with the frustration of having to restart my tv once in a while. He said an update should help clear it up. Well I've had my tv a year & two months & a couple updates later it is still doing it.
This specific tv is meant to be watched in a darker room with minimal lighting. You put it in a well lit up room which is why it doesn’t look as bright. You chose the wrong tv for the space.
Sony A95k and Samsung s95b, also possibly a90j But...if you want ultimate brightness check out Sony z9J and z9k. Those are mini led, but the picture quality is awesome....beats any oled tv.
@@RahulRanjanoena see if you can find a90j on sale. Is gaming important to you? LG typically has better gaming support. However if you mainly watch HDR movies, I think Sony usually give better more accurate image quality out of the box when compared to LG or Samsung.
Lol when you were standing in front at the beginning I thought the TV was on the floor. Like dang that's taking up the whole wall
Just bought one from Costco yesterday for $1700 (65"). The Costco version (A80CK) comes with an illuminated remote and free 5-year warranty.
That's amazing! I didn't know they added the illuminated remote!
Does the illuminated remote that came with your A80k have the remote finder feature?
Wish I had a Costco near me but I don’t. If i buy this i hear you can buy the upgraded back-lit remote and it works on this tv too.
@@jdcampbell7545 yes it does

It's Sony, definitely one of the best out there. 😁

cool i just picked up the sony a90j a few days ago and im loving it the picture is so beautiful on it and my xbox series x look amazing on it too
Your tv goes perfect with a Ps5 😆
They are made for each other
This TV is best on the market right now
Ordered an A80K 65" last week. Waiting for it to be delivered. Eager to see it.
How are you finding it? Was going go order one myself but on amazon it doesn't say it supports dolby vision or hdr does it support them?
@@GamingNexusuk yes.... audio is good too. The picture quality is very good. We are enjoying our new Sony A80K 65".

@@vasago07 My picture is great.... No issues at all. I do not play a lot of video games though.
@Mark Hansen,
I've heard the TV speakers and bass are pretty solid. Thoughts?
Had a problem with my A90J screen and Sony's support was excellent. After few mails, they sent people to subsitute my TV. Don't hesitate to buy Sony productts. I just wished their phones will have pure Android software like what they did on TVs with Google TV.
Wish I can afford one. That would be a dream 🥹
Which one are you getting?
Im getting my A9G replaced with A80K because there is no A90J available in the country im staying in right now.

Ghdfffff
Is there a protective plastic screen after unboxing that needs to be remove or just the sticker on the side?
A lot of people won't tell you this but Sony does not cover burn in as part of warranty in most countries outside the USA
Plz ADVICE. WHICH ONE TO GO FOR SONY A80K OR.LG C2. AS BOTH AT THE SAME.PRICE AND I DONT DO GAMING.
Great video , looks very clear compared with the A80J I had , what is your source ? are you using only wifi or you have some cable from a gizmo ? Thanks
I love SONY brand since I was born 😊😊😊😊😊
Should I get this or the LG C2? Can't decide. They're both awesome.
I’m in the same boat - Sony has it all over the Lg imo except for one and simple issue . Brightness in and out of hdr
Same for me. Think i’m going with the Sony.
LG may have be a tiny bit brighter, but Google TV looks better, and the audio system is great.
@@trips347 I got the c2 , really enjoy it
Sony all the way
Better build quality and natural colours
@@deantsar6246 significantly worse for gaming tho
Nice video just brought mine earlier cant wait what speakers do you have either side of the tv
getting a 55 inch sony a80k tomorrow..got a xbox series x coming next week..hope it works well with this tv
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !
OLED is the way to go

Nice video, could you share the pinball game name?
Will you do a more in depth review on this tv and perhaps compare it to C2?
C2 vs A80K
G2 vs A95K
S95B vs A95K
Please Tim! 🙏🏽

So how is it would you recommend it
Sonny did a great job on this and I really like it and also thank you for showing us
Thanks
Sorry but I can't reach you on Telagram says something about mutual contact
Buy your Sony a80k from Costco and you get it back lit controller
I need one of those. Do you know if it is the same controller that came with the A90J last year? I'd like to order one.
Does it also have the remote finder feature built into the remote?
Great video. Nice tv stand too. Where can I find that? Thanks.
