Great comparison between the 65” vs 77”. I’ve been debating between the two sizes and kept looking for examples of the sizes next to each other and this was awesome. I loved how B superimposed the smaller one in front of the other with the same scene playing.
Best deal on this Sony is at Costco. The A80CK comes with the better backlit remote and an additional 3 year full parts and labor warranty (total of 5 years). The local sale price was $2600.
I recently got the a80k 65 inch for my bedroom, it's an amazing TV, I had a really old Samsung LCD TV and it was 48 inches, HUGE UPGRADE, I love it so much
We wanted the a95k so badly for our bedroom. But like you guys, we are 13 feet from our tv. We ended up moving our 77” G2 from our living space to the bedroom. It made such a difference. We ended up getting getting 83” g2 since it dropped in price. Size is king for sure.

Always look forward to your reviews! It is time for me to upgrade. I am hoping to see a 77" A95K QD OLED at CES this year. Right now, I have a 75" Sony set, I just can't go down to a smaller size which is the only reason why I have not upgraded yet.
My dad got a 77 inch for his man cave so every time we watch movies or games. We can have a better display and a larger size. We currently have a 65 but I’m getting it in my bedroom when the new tv comes.
I had the A80j 65 inch in my living room that i bought last year and i jus moved it to the bedroom n bought the A80K 77inch for the living room i love A80j inda bedroom and A80K inda livingroom looks great TOOO lovem both
The problem with going that large is similar to sitting in the front of the movie theater instead of the middle. You are magnifying the pixels which causes you to see more imperfections in the picture. At 15 feet away though, it should look sharp.
Great video. Glad to see you guys picked A80K and not the C2. After all the hate A80K was getting now I can feel good about my decision to go with the Sony since I'm not a hardcore gamer. 👍👍
5.07 you know i want to congratulate you dude on your freedom to express yourself. As you took us through the sockets I have to say your nail varnish is a killer shade. Just know everyone here supports your choices. You go girl 😊
This looks great. Definitely on my list to look at for my next tv, maybe not 77” but 65” for sure. Hilarious Jen doing the friends “pivot” imitation as you took it up the stairs. 😂
I upgraded to the 75 Z9K in the living room and moved my TCL 65 825 mini led set to my small bedroom, seems like a beast to me. You really have a big house or apartment so the big boys work for you 👍 I'm watching the video on the TCL while I kick back in my room now. I have a big old dresser that it sits on perfectly so no wall mount and it was easy to carry in here with two of us. First world problems I guess 😂
I think LG offers more then Sony and Samsung. Maybe one day you can make a video showing how wisa and the sound output of each TV works. How many apps can you install in each TV before its out of memory. How to expand the internal memory. Which one handles external drives best. Which one has a phone app etc....
Have read some posts on AVS forum where A80k owners comment on the picture quality improving after 1-200 hours of use. When I recently saw the 77a80k next to an 88a90j at Best Buy I thought the K looked better to my eye. They had a clip of Spider Man and for me I saw more shadow detail and brighter overall image. I preferred that but know others might like the other.
The remote I have is the same one that’s comes with the A95K. Mine does have the backlit remote and I think I know why. My model is the A80CK and that means is the C stands for Costco and the Allstate 3 yr warranty and they pay you 0.01 yes a penny for a 3 year of total of 5 yrs of warranty that I have never used on any SONY since 1986. But your TV at Costco!!
If it's in the correct environment maybe because some QLED like the QN95Band QN90B is almost OLED like but brighter in bright scenes but it comes down to personal preference.
Bought the 65inch version of this tv yesterday, and because of JEN, I was like "Where's the plastic film" ....so here i am watching this review for the 3rd time and I see 'no plastic film" :)
Hey, thanks for all you do! I can’t decide between the A80K and the C2. On one hand, I love the C2 physical design (how that thin screen looks from the sides), the edges, etc., the four 2.1 hdmi inputs, input lag, the stand, and the fact that it is a bit brighter than the A80K. On the other hand, I realize that the A80K is a bit better when it comes to color tones, some say it shows a bit more detail (is that true? and the sound system is appealing. Which one would you pick?
This is where I’m at too. I stood in BestBuy yesterday comparing the 77” A80K with the LG C2, and the choice is very difficult. Which would you pick and why? Thanks for the great content!
If you watch a lot of movies, get the Sony, else get the LG as its has more gaming focused features and is also a smidge brighter than the Sony. Cinema picture mode is pretty accurate on both TVs so you will not be disappointed. I got a Sony A80K last week, just because I use my TV for movies only.
So I just returned the Sony HT A7000 sound bar and I’m exchanging/upgrading to 65” version of this TV because between the sound bar and the Sony X90K the hissing white noise sounds coming from both of them made them almost unwatchable.
Jen doing the Friends reference, by saying 'PIVOT' at the guys, just like Ross Geller did on Friends, screaming at Rachel Green and Chandler Bing again and again, as they attempt to move a much-too-large and much-too-heavy sofa up a very small New York flight of stairs.
For now we finally have our place complete with the 77inch SONY A80J in the den, 75inch SONY X95K in the living room and the newest addition from BESTBUY OpenBox marked down to $2300 on a 77inch LG C2 that we had to get for our bedroom and got it wall mounted for free with TotalTech membership. My wife loves the C2 after we got our first LG OLED the E9 in 2020.
Is the X95K Mini-LED better than the A80J OLED? Surprised you don't have the Sony OLED in the living room. Or even the LG C2 in the living room. But maybe you watch more TV in your bedroom.
Wow beautiful TV for sure....we have a 65" LG Oled and love it!! Now I'm looking at the LG 48" Oled for the bedroom that Best Buy has on sale now!! lol
The ultra slim form factor of the A80J and other OLEDs can be a selling point depending on where someone keep their TV because it looks so cool. Unfortunately the A80K doesn't have that slim look and looks like any regular QLED Samsung. Hope they bring it back on the A80L.
I got the 77” a80j and you are right. The ultra metal slim back looks more premium than the fatter plastic on the a80k. Hopefully I can upgrade next year to an 85” Sony oled with the same ultra slim back
@@aarony8534 its a little thicker because the back cover of the a80k is made out of plastic. The A80J is pure aluminum and thinner. Please keep me posted on your a80k. They say its an upgrade to the a80j in terms of picture and brightness. Where did you get your a80j from?
@@aarony8534 I know I love the look. If my A80J went back and they gave me the option of another A80J or A80K I'd probably go with A80J since the brightness isn't a huge improvement and not needed so much in my use.
@@aarony8534 I wouldn't be concern at all since the bottom is thick, now if the entire Tv from the side was thin then maybe. Note too that some people were complaining about bend panels like the S95B, that thicker top on the A80K doesn't take away from anything in fact it just makes it stronger in my opinion.
Right on i just bought the a90k couldnt find it anywhere in my hometown so i bought the 48 inch off amazon for 1250$ super excited it wont get here till december 6th
Advice please! My face will be about 9 feet away from the TV. My TV use will be evenly split between gaming on the Switch (SDR), streaming movies/Netflix, and streaming RUclips. Total TV time will average 10 hours per week or less. Unfortunately, the perfect TV you posted a month ago slipped by before I could get it on Prime day (the 77" A80J for only $2000 which is my budget). The three TV's I'm primarily considering are A) $1500 Hisense - 75" Class U8H Series Quantum ULED 4K UHD Smart Google TV B) $1900 Samsung - 65” Class S95B OLED 4K Smart Tizen TV C) $1500 Sony - 75" Class BRAVIA XR X90K 4K HDR Full Array LED Google TV Biggest concern going non-Sony is whether the upscaling for the Switch will be too lackluster. So S95B looks ideal, except that it's only 65".
I bought this for my newly finished basement and love it so far. Never had anything larger than 55” up until now, 77” is awesome. Of course I had to get the backlit remote and so glad I did.
I have this tv and it's great pic stunning two issues which really dose not effect me the remote sucks and sluggish when using apps and using over the air channels great tv at this size I picked up to 3,200 at the time from Valuelectronics great folks and right now it's down to 2,700 at 77 inches you can't go wrong
@@mocheen4837 that’s a good deal. We bought the 77a80cj at Costco 1 yr ago for 3k. It just failed and Sony is sending us the a80k. I’m disappointed that Costco version has upgraded remote now.
The number buttons on the old remote were nice for typing in a channel # directly while watching with an antenna. If you use Apps only view your voice mic will not work.
For some reason K series got a hissing issue with HT-A7000, I got 75” x90k+HT-A7000, I made a complain to Sony Australia, Sony Australia engineering team told me that is normal! Until I show them all the print screen I had from internet from all owners with Sony K series+HT-A7000 complaining about the hissing problem, then they only call me to follow up.
Great job, I have a A9G 65” Sony TV, that I want to upgrade to the Sony 77A80k, because I want a bigger TV, but I’m need to know what you think the minimum distance you need for that size. I’m right at 12ft. Is that enough for the 77” TV?
What cabling do you use when you run in-wall? I’ve had a lot of issues with HDMI cables longer than 10’ and also when I have to run them through the wall… Any recommendations on the best HDMI 2.1 cables that are strong and flexible enough to pull through wall reliably and without interference from nearby power cables?
I am looking for OLED something between 83-85 inches range. Samsung Neo is there but picture quality is not great. LG C2 is there but Sony XR picture quality is awesome. any recommendation for 83 inches OLED or should I wait?
Thanks for the great video and info. I too have been thinking about getting a bigger TV. I bought my first LG OLED about 6 years ago. Think its the C65C7P and loved it until now. Starting to get screen burn. A known issue that most don't talk about or don't know about until years later. Have these OLEDs gotten better with this issue?
@@MTGApollo I have a 10 year old plasma TV and remember a similar burn-in issue being talked about back then for them. It was way cheaper than the OLEDs of today. Why should a $3k TV not be expected to last longer than measly 6 years?
Hey B the installer : this may be a dumb question but what does everyone do when they upgrade ? It’s not like you can goto store and trade in or upgrade like we do on phones . Seeing that most of the tvphiles upgrade every 3-4 years I’m just curious what they do with their older model tvs ..thanks anyone
I Live in Australia and just purchased this TV. Goes for $6500AUD. When you mounter it on the wall, what is the process of moving the legs. Thanks for your videos.
Hey B, I enjoy your reviews and respect your opinion. Question, I’ve got a 77” LG B2 that I’m about to return, I’m not happy with the processing of SDR and unfortunately that’s the majority of my viewing as a big time sports fan. Just curious, how much better is the processor of this Sony? Is the Sony better then the LG C2 as well? Thanks
For all the OLED I know the SDR will not process or show as clean as you might like. Due to the instant response time, judders and artifacts are never prefect. You mentioned two things "sports" and "sdr" both of those are much better on a QLED, so if you watch mostly SDR contents then QLED is the better choice, for 4K/HDR and in a dark environment then OLED is good. Just my opinion and what I have encountered testing OLED, QLED and LED/LCD.
Any resolution on the hissing when using it as a center channel speaker with a soundbar? Mine does the same thing, plus I get an electrical hissing sound from the area where the power plug goes into the tv. Great reviews!
Excellent review. Great setup by yourself and wifey and help. And now since Costco have been running a sale on Sony Oled's this is a no brainer purchase. Thanks again all. Crazy question, do we see in the foreseeable future 8K Oled's? Or would it be any major difference visually for the average consumer?
8k is pretty stupid atm, where barely getting 4K content atm, let along 8k content lol, I’d give it about another 10-15 years until 8k will make a difference lol

@@mocheen4837 that’s a good deal. We bought the 77a80cj at Costco 1 yr ago for 3k. It just failed and Sony is sending us the a80k. I’m disappointed that Costco version has upgraded remote now.
The number buttons on the old remote were nice for typing in a channel # directly while watching with an antenna. If you use Apps only view your voice mic will not work.
It comes with a second remote with numbers
For some reason K series got a hissing issue with HT-A7000, I got 75” x90k+HT-A7000, I made a complain to Sony Australia, Sony Australia engineering team told me that is normal! Until I show them all the print screen I had from internet from all owners with Sony K series+HT-A7000 complaining about the hissing problem, then they only call me to follow up.
Thanks, i've been, waiting for this one. I saw this at Best buy. Love the 77 inch, but your going to need a dark room.
I like the numbers for watching over the air tv channels.
They use the same processor, so the bigger size always will show more imperfections.
Great job, I have a A9G 65” Sony TV, that I want to upgrade to the Sony 77A80k, because I want a bigger TV, but I’m need to know what you think the minimum distance you need for that size. I’m right at 12ft. Is that enough for the 77” TV?
Sticker straight on the screen omg :( but he is beautifull im in love
Interested to know why you got the sony a80k instead of the lg c2 ?
What cabling do you use when you run in-wall? I’ve had a lot of issues with HDMI cables longer than 10’ and also when I have to run them through the wall… Any recommendations on the best HDMI 2.1 cables that are strong and flexible enough to pull through wall reliably and without interference from nearby power cables?
Pivot!!!😂😂😂 great friends citation❤
Upgrade size in the bedroom? She said that with a straight face!
You doing a good job guys, thank you.
That extra 12" always makes a difference. Especially in the bedroom 😉
Oh! the size increase required in the bedroom is not the TV, Jen was hoping for the main increase 😂😂😂
Yes, I like
Man you must have a massive home wow
Any own comments whats your thouhts this OLED or any OLED from SoNY vs QD OLED from SoNY ? Cheers
Should get an 85” so it hides that wall vent. Lol I would certainly use that as a selling point to convince my wife to get a bigger tv.
Someone's getting their jokes from their Echo Dot.😄
Hi,x95k or a80k for ps5 and movie?
Any noticiable diffrence from glossy panel C2 77 to semi-gloss like a80k 77? I heard glossy panel are more cleaner in image quality
That’s not true
Colors look deeper for sure. There is a difference when comparing the TV’s. That’s a fact.
I am looking for OLED something between 83-85 inches range. Samsung Neo is there but picture quality is not great. LG C2 is there but Sony XR picture quality is awesome. any recommendation for 83 inches OLED or should I wait?
2023 is in 2 months, hopefully they will have the 77 in qd-oled tv's in. i can't do a 65, its torture.
Thanks for the great video and info. I too have been thinking about getting a bigger TV. I bought my first LG OLED about 6 years ago. Think its the C65C7P and loved it until now. Starting to get screen burn. A known issue that most don't talk about or don't know about until years later. Have these OLEDs gotten better with this issue?
Oleds have definitely evolved since than, and 6 years is a pretty long life span for an oled😄
@@MTGApollo I have a 10 year old plasma TV and remember a similar burn-in issue being talked about back then for them. It was way cheaper than the OLEDs of today. Why should a $3k TV not be expected to last longer than measly 6 years?
I have a 55 inch a80j and wanted to upgrade to a bigger a80k. How can the a80k be dimmer? This is crazy.
Great video Brandon! Hey Any tips on the best products to clean a tv screen?
I wouldn't use any products to clean the screen. A micro fiber cloth is all you should need.
I just bought the 65 & 55 of this model. Now the fun part, hanging them.
How do you like the TV? I'm about to buy the 77 inch.
@@MrBrickhouse So far so good.
@@MrBrickhouse Love it so far.
1080p tvs are better! 4k tvs are a waste of money
The Sony SU-WL850 is super easy for installers to mount
Hey B the installer : this may be a dumb question but what does everyone do when they upgrade ? It’s not like you can goto store and trade in or upgrade like we do on phones . Seeing that most of the tvphiles upgrade every 3-4 years I’m just curious what they do with their older model tvs ..thanks anyone
Sell them on marketplace
I Live in Australia and just purchased this TV. Goes for $6500AUD. When you mounter it on the wall, what is the process of moving the legs. Thanks for your videos.
Got last year model the A80J costco Adelaide in March for an good deal 65 inch size and I love the picture quality of it.
Hey B, I enjoy your reviews and respect your opinion. Question, I’ve got a 77” LG B2 that I’m about to return, I’m not happy with the processing of SDR and unfortunately that’s the majority of my viewing as a big time sports fan. Just curious, how much better is the processor of this Sony? Is the Sony better then the LG C2 as well? Thanks
For all the OLED I know the SDR will not process or show as clean as you might like. Due to the instant response time, judders and artifacts are never prefect. You mentioned two things "sports" and "sdr" both of those are much better on a QLED, so if you watch mostly SDR contents then QLED is the better choice, for 4K/HDR and in a dark environment then OLED is good. Just my opinion and what I have encountered testing OLED, QLED and LED/LCD.
You mom is so funny 🤣
Any resolution on the hissing when using it as a center channel speaker with a soundbar? Mine does the same thing, plus I get an electrical hissing sound from the area where the power plug goes into the tv. Great reviews!
I'm hoping they make something bigger than the 83" by the time I finish my basement setup
How is sound on this OLED ?
Does it need additional bar or just as good as Normal sound bar ?
Could you review the A80L pretty please 🥺🥺🥺
Which one is better A80k or Lg c2/g2?
Excellent review. Great setup by yourself and wifey and help. And now since Costco have been running a sale on Sony Oled's this is a no brainer purchase. Thanks again all.
Crazy question, do we see in the foreseeable future 8K Oled's? Or would it be any major difference visually for the average consumer?
8k is pretty stupid atm, where barely getting 4K content atm, let along 8k content lol, I’d give it about another 10-15 years until 8k will make a difference lol
What is the distance between feet when set at their widest. We want to know how big to buy for a stand to put it on ?
I am a very very huge fan of your reviews... thank you very much.. god bless. Take care.. bye...
Great video! Would you recommend this A80K over LG C2 at the same 77 inch size? Thanks!
Awesome Sony TV 😁👍
Yup ! Glows in the dark
A80j seems brighter
