@@KelsJunethats why im trying to see if i should get the a80 or the lg c4 which i think the c4 is newest, cant figure out the differences, they both cost the same currently
Bought a 55" A80k in april of 2023. In may of this year I noticed the bottom right corner was rounded out with dead pixels. The TV is now in for warranty. Not sure If I want to take a bravia 8 as a replacement or get an s90d instead. My use case is 95% PC gaming/5% movies. What I find odd is the pixels went dead while gaming with the TV is 3440x1440 using the GPU to control scaling, so those pixels were black/turned off the vast majority of the time the TV was on which I would think would reduce pixel degradation for those pixels.
I've spend 8.5k nzd on a 77' A80L 3 years ago, and now I'm experiencing the broke down and having problem of communicate with the Sony NZ , this TV should have last much longer than just 3 years, hopefully it won't happen on you, personally I won't buy Sony's products any more.
@@TechWithKG I was really going to go out and buy the A80L and Bravia 8 to compare myself. Return the one I didn’t like. You came out with this video. I seen the A95L next to the Bravia 8 and my eyes always go towards the Bravia 8. I can tell where the A95L shines but not down to pay that much. So I’m buying the Bravia 8 and next year I’ll buy the G4. I like the S95D but Im not a fan of there processing and motion.
@@Gumby0889 you can tell with Colors are brighter and Picture has more clarity. I would say. If you have the money go for A95L. You really can’t go wrong with Bravia 8 though.
Nah you need high brightness nits for HDR on with bright screen, I choose TCL C755 QD Mini LED, because I saw 2 TV this big difference. If you want contrast and shadow details go buy Bravia 8, but for me I want bright screen I choose buy TCL C755 144Hz. I see A80L in my country this big discount now, but I worry about gaming with not AI upscale and old processor like in A80L. Bravia 8 XR80 it's not bad but I think the price are overprice with AMOLED screen, except use QD Mini LED like in Bravia 9. But Bravia 9 not have 55 inch TV, I just want 55 for my bedroom :) Glosy screen it's from what the panel and how big the brightness nits, Bravia 8 are good for outdoor too, for sun flare you need minimum 1000 nits, all 2024 TV today support over 1000nits, and good HDR gaming, I choose Dolby Vision IQ this better then HDR 10+ and you need find TV minimum 500 local dimming zones for good shadow quality.
I haven't seen the Bravia 8, but I did see a A95L and A80L side-by-side. In some content, the A95L looked a bit better and was brighter. In other content, I could barely tell the difference. I really think that some of the differences touted by these youtubers are blown out of the water. I have an older Sony A1E, a 77 A80L and X93L and X93E. I was going to buy the 95L, but didn't think it was worth the premium over the A80L. I think all modern higher end TVs deliver a good picture and the upgrade from year to year is incremental. I'm not trying to sell anything!
True, but the actual difference is the same in most cases especially with OLED. Even though most of the time I perceived Bravia 8 to be the brighter TV most of the time especially in game mode, and for movies and tv observations they definitely looked to change the tone mapping a little from last year.
Got the 77" Bravia 8 coming Tuesday. Coming from a 65" A80J that I paid only a couple hundred less for 3 years ago. A80J is still going strong just wanted the size upgrade and some of the newer features. The LG's and Samsung's might be a little cheaper but I think Sony's look the best.
please let us know if it is worth it when you get it. I have the 65" A80J and have considered the 77" Bravia 9 or the 85" Bravia 7. I want a BIGGER TV. I just refuse to spend $5000-$6000 for a Tv no matter how good it is. I can get an 85" for under $3k that still looks decent? sign me up
@@mbvx7 I purchased the Bravia 8 65-inch TV 7 days ago,and it has been incredible so far. The picture quality is stunning, with vibrant colors and deep blacks that truly enhance everything I watch. The overall experience has been so impressive that I’ve started re-watching the entire MCU saga just to enjoy the improved visuals. 😂 This TV has definitely exceeded my expectations!
Great comparison, this should help many make a decision. On non gamimg the b8 is seems a bit brighter in whites here and there and occasional color but overall for color the a80l destyoys it too often to be an upgrade. Seems as much a horizontal upgrade as verticle. The b8 coloring is sometimes distinctly muted right next to its sibling. Does one get the perhaps needed extra occasional brightness or the often more striking color. Where the a80l wins with color it seems to win big. Xr clear aside they seem like very different tvs.
I was set to buy the Bravia 8 for the improvements since the price wasn't much more than the A80L at the time. Then I stumbled onto a 77" A80L for $1900 at a Costco manager's closeout!
Kinda in the same bind just got a PS5 pro & looking for a good OLED to pair with it the B8 is around 2600 & the A80L is 2200 both 77" cnt pick tho any suggestions
It's absolutely insane to me that Sony would drop an almost carbon copy of the A80L with the Bravia 8, then mark it up the way they have and try to convince consumers that it's a must buy. If I didn't already buy the Samsung S90D for the insanely great deal I got back in March (which is superior to both of these, btw), I'd happily buy the A80L for half the price of the Bravia 8. To add to how the Bravia 8 isn't any kind of improvement over last year's A80L, I saw it on display at Best Buy last month in the same spot as they had the A80L before updating the showroom, and thought that it was still that same tv until the staff told me it was the Bravia 8. Admittedly, the game mode does look a touch better in this video, but not $1000 better, and even still the A80L has it's moments where it has better contrast and colour. Sony needs to start doing a hell of a lot better with their year to year updates here because charging customers a premium for re-packaged, SLIGHTLY improved tech is pretty greasy, and something that continues to baffle me that they're able to get away with
Hi, could you please give me a bit help here? I’m living in Australia and I can only get A80L from Sony website and it’s on a good deal at the moment , I’m looking for a 77 inch oled. A80L is $3700 and the Bravia 8 is $5700 Samsung S90D $3900. Is it worth getting the Bravia 8 for extra 2K? It seems like it’s not. I’m happy with the picture quality of s90D but my only concern is the lack of Dolby Vision, I do notice with my old LCD the Dolby Vision made a huge difference but I’m concerned that if it’s that much between S90D vs A80L? If it’s not I might go for the S90D apparently Samsung’s QD-OLED is very impressive. Thank you!
@@bohanzhang3896 if you can confirm the S90D ins QD OLED in Australia then it is far superior. Dolby vision is not needed on these TVs and HDR 10 is just as good.
That's basically what happens with every manufacturer 80% of the time. Year over year improvements are typically minor upgrades to the the current models specs. Also where are you seeing that the a80l is half the price off the bravia 8? The 55" a80l is currently $1200 vs $1600 for the b8, the 65" is $1500 vs $1900 & the 77" are both $3000.
The XR80 def looks a bit better. More perceived contrast, glossier screen, reminds me more of an LG in that regard. It sucks you in like you feel like you're looking through a window. It's not 3d pop, it's depth. I'd be interested to see a comparison in a lit room with some light behind the TV. To see how they handle reflections daytime viewing.
I have both myself. I have the a80l in 77" and just got the B8 in 65". It really is so hard to tell which is better. They are in different rooms, so can't do a side by side comparison. I'm leaning toward the B8 being slightly better. But I'm honestly not sure if that is because it's brand new and I'm just excited to have it in my loft...lol.
I unfortunately can’t make this video directly side by side but I’ll make a video talking about the pros and cons of both comparing them that way. A95L is better for sure, it’s brighter and has better color performance but I think the increase of A95L from Bravia 8 in most regular content may not be that noticeable for a lot of folks. Thanks for your support.
@@craighopkins4496 To be fair I did see the 55 inch A80L is $1199. I consider that a good deal. I did see the S95C 77inch for $2999. I think that is a good deal also.
Hello community, looking for advice. My Samsung s89c 77" that is only 10 months old stopped working and after some time on the phone with samsung they are issuing an accommodation (Replacement/Refund/Electronic Coupon). Im debating between these to Sonys as i have a 10 yr old bravia 65" that is still working perfectly fine. Currently the Bravia 8 is $400 more than the A80L at Best Buy. Is it worth the extra $? Thanks
I see big difference in the colors. The one on the right looks to have more natural colors, the left the XR80 looks like the colors are artificially pumped. Still the XR80 looks more attractive and interesting in terms of colors. This might be like that because the A80 is brighter and the colors looks softer.
i currently have a 42" a90k. i couldnt go higher than 42" due to space limitations, but since i moved i can go a bit bigger. so im now considering getting the 48" a90k (since i rly liked the 42" one) or the 55" a80l. which one would be better?
I seen the bravia 8 in currys store and was blown away by how it looks. Motion, screen, colour, everything. I came home watched a few reviews on it and its getting mid reviews all round. Weird as hell. I probably will go with bravia 8 this black friday if its on a good deal
@@DanielMazz It snowed pretty bad here so my delivery was delayed, so i canceled my order lol. Im hoping to maybe get a A90K 48 inch now as i also realised 55 inch was too big for my desk set up
The 65" S90C is on sale for $999, the A80L at $1499 and the Bravia 8 at $1699.... Idk which one to pull. I'm leaning S90C for 4 HDMI 2.1 ports but the lack of Dolby vision is a blow 🤦♂️
to me, the Bravia 8 color looks better to me. It looks deeper, richer. the illusion the A80L is brighter is because its WAY bigger and will put out more light than a 65" . To me, it just isn't good to compare a 65 to a 77. The need to be the same size.
I haven’t had the opportunity to see these two screens side-by-side. But when I first saw the Bravia 8 (65”), the first thing that was glaringly obvious was the GLARE. So I’m curious to know how they compare on this aspect?
How do I know if my Sony OLED is displaying Dolby Vision and/or HDR,on LG you get a pop up on top right of screen which is great,but I don’t see any sort of pop up on the Sony Bravia 8
I brought bravia 8 looking at the 8k content that they regularly play at the store. But day to day movies and TV streaming from local cable network isn't that impressive for the price we pay here in India. Yet to try it on PS5 but that seems impressive from your review.
I bought my first Bravia 8 4K TV, i hope itll be my last TV until i upgrade to a 8K TV whenever they where a 8K TV won't have anymore problems until i buy my 8K TV. I went with Bravia 8 to get me until i can buy me a 8K TV they told me at office express that Bravia 8 will be a good choice until the issues are worked out with 8K TVs not having anymore problems since they talked me out of the 8K until they get 8K TV worked out to where 8K TVs aren't having anymore problems until i buy a 8K TV> they talked me into buying Bravia 8 4K TV but they told me 8Ks are tearing up way more often. They would've got a bump to their TVs and a boost to they're sales if they sold me a 8K TV. So im happy i went with a Bravia 8.
Assuming the Bravia 8 drops to $2500 this Black Friday, that's an incredible deal. I personally wouldn't go for it though as I'm hoping Sony releases an 83 inch variant next year.
@@lpromer4796 That one still uses the old Mediatek processor. It's rumored that Sony will start implementing the new Mediatek processor next year with 4 HDMI 2.1 ports.
Seems like the B8 is crushing blacks a bit for more contrast and pop in the HDR scenes. Looks great on its own but a bit off side by side with the A80L. Id got with the B8 and up the black level a tad and get best of both TV's.
S95D for sure if you can it’s one of the best TVs if not the best depending on what you’re into. A95L may eventually get 3rd gen panels I guess that’s definitely possible but there’s no real way to know and I don’t know how much difference it’ll make since the TV is likely tuned to the capability of gen 2 even if it had a gen 3
I would grab a S95C on Woot for $1547.99 for 65” or 77” for 2397.99 best deal out right now plus S95C is superior to both these TVs definitely in gaming, brightness and color
@@unknownsource4359 had Bith S95B and S95C next to Sony A8H, I’m not gonna lie on old content like the Shield Sonys processors shined, but anything shot in like 2013 and up Samsungs take the 🏆
@@unknownsource4359 I don’t take it as being argumentative. Like I told my friend the once you see a tweaked up flagship Sony next to another tv, it’s very hard to not bear witness to the processing superiority. I had the 65” Z9F Master Series too, and that thing was beastly. I’m debating whether to sell the S95B and put the money towards the A95L
they aren't in the same class. The A95L vs the G4 are in the same class. there is no comparison between a G4 and a budget OLED like the B8. That would be like comparing a Corolla to a Lexus.
@@mbvx7 It's interesting because it's Sony's best WOled and I'm curious to see how they each do colour differences. Yes the G4 is brighter. But otherwise picture precessing would be very competitive.
80L looks better but having the 80K varies from scene to scene, so it's a wash. I noticed this using custom vs. IMAX at 1st you think the custom mode is better then you look at another scene it's the opposite. So all these reviews are like chasing your tail, the camera on 2 TVs will affect one of them, due to the adjuments the camera makes due to darkness and lightness present. Love my 80K with the updates it looks stunning at night in low lighting in our room. You don't need more, forget the marketing and hype by reviewers. Our eyes can only see so much based on room lighting. Like audio specs tell you nothing about how a system sounds due to what our ability to hear, can hear.
@@reconstructionwouldhavesav9472 I ended up buying samsung s90c for 1100$. It's better in almost everything and for a lower price. as for the 55 inch, it's perfect for the size of my room.
@reconstructionwouldhavesav9472 I bought the samsung S90C after rethinking things, It's better in almost every way and is cheaper at 1100$. As for the 55" it's perfect for my room because it's small.
I’d pass on both these models. Both Samsung and LG make a better OLED. Sony knows they are in trouble with their OLEDs cause the A95L is too darn expensive and the 8 series OleDs just can’t compete
Sony knows their far advanced upscaling chip ,and smooth motion rate will always beat the competition. Lg and Samsung also lack in longevity for people who tent to keep televisions 10 years plus.
i would have agreed with you before LG put out an update to cap how bright the owners can make their own damn TVs. Now, what was great is ...well, still great but less great lol bc looks dimmer than before with no way to chg it. Will never buy another LG tv because of that monumentally stupid update.
I got the A80L at the beginning of this year. It was 600 bucks off at best buy for 65 in. Absolutely love it. Great TV, highly recommend.

@ A80L is £1299.99 and bravia 8 is £1499.99, only £200 difference so i went with bravia 8.
@@Corko11 oh I saved and did opposite I’ve noticed my tv sound only comes out from one side have you noticed it from the left side only
@@DanielMazz It snowed pretty bad here so my delivery was delayed, so i canceled my order lol. Im hoping to maybe get a A90K 48 inch now as i also realised 55 inch was too big for my desk set up
@@Corko11 ohhh ok let me know I think it’s same price as Bravia 8 strangely
I bought from Sony website not curry’s
Sadly I’m having issues with my tv
The 65" S90C is on sale for $999, the A80L at $1499 and the Bravia 8 at $1699.... Idk which one to pull. I'm leaning S90C for 4 HDMI 2.1 ports but the lack of Dolby vision is a blow 🤦♂️
i can find same price Bravia 8 and LG G4 what would u suggest and why
to me, the Bravia 8 color looks better to me. It looks deeper, richer. the illusion the A80L is brighter is because its WAY bigger and will put out more light than a 65" . To me, it just isn't good to compare a 65 to a 77. The need to be the same size.
Bravia 8 is noticeably brighter.
I haven’t had the opportunity to see these two screens side-by-side. But when I first saw the Bravia 8 (65”), the first thing that was glaringly obvious was the GLARE. So I’m curious to know how they compare on this aspect?
How do I know if my Sony OLED is displaying Dolby Vision and/or HDR,on LG you get a pop up on top right of screen which is great,but I don’t see any sort of pop up on the Sony Bravia 8
You can see it in the pop-up menu.
I brought bravia 8 looking at the 8k content that they regularly play at the store. But day to day movies and TV streaming from local cable network isn't that impressive for the price we pay here in India.
Yet to try it on PS5 but that seems impressive from your review.
Go bravia 8 vs x95L 🤔
I bought my first Bravia 8 4K TV, i hope itll be my last TV until i upgrade to a 8K TV whenever they where a 8K TV won't have anymore problems until i buy my 8K TV. I went with Bravia 8 to get me until i can buy me a 8K TV they told me at office express that Bravia 8 will be a good choice until the issues are worked out with 8K TVs not having anymore problems since they talked me out of the 8K until they get 8K TV worked out to where 8K TVs aren't having anymore problems until i buy a 8K TV> they talked me into buying Bravia 8 4K TV but they told me 8Ks are tearing up way more often. They would've got a bump to their TVs and a boost to they're sales if they sold me a 8K TV. So im happy i went with a Bravia 8.
Damn , i was going to bite the bullet and buy the bravia 8 but the colors do seem better on the a80l
Thanks
Assuming the Bravia 8 drops to $2500 this Black Friday, that's an incredible deal. I personally wouldn't go for it though as I'm hoping Sony releases an 83 inch variant next year.
What about the 83” A80L?
@@lpromer4796 That one still uses the old Mediatek processor. It's rumored that Sony will start implementing the new Mediatek processor next year with 4 HDMI 2.1 ports.
XR80 is the clear winner ❤
Bravia 8 is 2600 A80L 2200 which do i choose both 77"
Go with the cheaper A80L there isn't a $400 difference here.
Please do a Samsung S90D vs Sony Bravia 8 🙏🏽
Finally, a tv comparison video in HDR…Ty
I returned my A80l it was to dim for me.
What were you coming from ?
Can i ask about viewable bezels? Are they exactly the same on both sets with a bright image?
Yeah pretty similar
i was set on getting an a80l any day now but the difference in brightness thats shown in game mode here is undeniable and is causing me to reconsider.
Seems like the B8 is crushing blacks a bit for more contrast and pop in the HDR scenes. Looks great on its own but a bit off side by side with the A80L.
Id got with the B8 and up the black level a tad and get best of both TV's.
not in same size, not really fair
@ 4:48 - 5:16 ……what a conundrum.
Would you get Bravia 8 or
Samsung S95D , also Brian thinks
Sony are using 3rd gen panel in A95L?
S95D for sure if you can it’s one of the best TVs if not the best depending on what you’re into. A95L may eventually get 3rd gen panels I guess that’s definitely possible but there’s no real way to know and I don’t know how much difference it’ll make since the TV is likely tuned to the capability of gen 2 even if it had a gen 3
@@TechWithKG Why s95D? They are the same price with bravia 8 here in my country. Thanks!
I would grab a S95C on Woot for $1547.99 for 65” or 77” for 2397.99 best deal out right now plus S95C is superior to both these TVs definitely in gaming, brightness and color
Processing is mediocre though
@@unknownsource4359 had Bith S95B and S95C next to Sony A8H, I’m not gonna lie on old content like the Shield Sonys processors shined, but anything shot in like 2013 and up Samsungs take the 🏆
@@Soldier-cu7hx I’m not trying to be argumentative but the A8H didn’t have the new XR processor chip. It had the old chip.
@@unknownsource4359 I don’t take it as being argumentative. Like I told my friend the once you see a tweaked up flagship Sony next to another tv, it’s very hard to not bear witness to the processing superiority. I had the 65” Z9F Master Series too, and that thing was beastly. I’m debating whether to sell the S95B and put the money towards the A95L
Bravia 8 is only $200 is it worth it?
$200?
@TechWithKG best buy has the a80l at 1500 and the Bravia 8 at 1700 65 inch. Picking up my PS5 pro today, so I'm looking to upgrade from my xbr65x900h
The LG G5 😂🎉
Almost no difference and almost no upgrade unfortunately
A80L…clear winner
Would love to see G4 vs Bravia 8
they aren't in the same class. The A95L vs the G4 are in the same class. there is no comparison between a G4 and a budget OLED like the B8. That would be like comparing a Corolla to a Lexus.
@@mbvx7 It's interesting because it's Sony's best WOled and I'm curious to see how they each do colour differences. Yes the G4 is brighter. But otherwise picture precessing would be very competitive.
so bravia 8 not good color
OLED의 특허권과 원천 기술은 LG가 가지고 있다 SONY는 특허가 없고 제품을 생산할때마다 LG에게 로얄티를 지불하네요
My lg oled burn after 2 years. My sony bravia 2013 works perfect untill now. If i buy a new tv it's will be sony
80L looks better but having the 80K varies from scene to scene, so it's a wash. I noticed this using custom vs. IMAX at 1st you think the custom mode is better then you look at another scene it's the opposite. So all these reviews are like chasing your tail, the camera on 2 TVs will affect one of them, due to the adjuments the camera makes due to darkness and lightness present. Love my 80K with the updates it looks stunning at night in low lighting in our room. You don't need more, forget the marketing and hype by reviewers. Our eyes can only see so much based on room lighting. Like audio specs tell you nothing about how a system sounds due to what our ability to hear, can hear.
The A80L is on a sale going for 1300 usd for the 55inch, the price is mouth watering... Unfortunately by the time I get paid the sale will end T_T
For a tiny ass 55" I dont think so.
@@reconstructionwouldhavesav9472 I ended up buying samsung s90c for 1100$. It's better in almost everything and for a lower price. as for the 55 inch, it's perfect for the size of my room.
@reconstructionwouldhavesav9472 I bought the samsung S90C after rethinking things, It's better in almost every way and is cheaper at 1100$. As for the 55" it's perfect for my room because it's small.
I’d pass on both these models. Both Samsung and LG make a better OLED. Sony knows they are in trouble with their OLEDs cause the A95L is too darn expensive and the 8 series OleDs just can’t compete
Sony knows their far advanced upscaling chip ,and smooth motion rate will always beat the competition. Lg and Samsung also lack in longevity for people who tent to keep televisions 10 years plus.
@@parkforest434 ok Fanboy…
i would have agreed with you before LG put out an update to cap how bright the owners can make their own damn TVs. Now, what was great is ...well, still great but less great lol bc looks dimmer than before with no way to chg it. Will never buy another LG tv because of that monumentally stupid update.
Sony is lost
Yeah, something a TCL owner would say.
And yet they have been Voted the Best TV in the business the last 3 years in a row. Vizio has a TV for you thought.
If it ain’t the A95L it’s trash 😂
Trash?
