Sony USA Slashes 77-inch A80J Price vs 65" A90J & 77" C1 OLED - The Wisest Buy?

I'm just seeing this video today after picking up the 77inch on Amazon prime day for $1,999. 😬

Is the a80j and a80jc the same for the 77inch model

What would be the better choice: 77 inch A80J or 83 inch A90J?

I got this for $1900 open box from Best buy for 77"

Amazing how much lower the price is for these tvs 1 year later.

The 65 inch a80j is currently $1,798 in the US. Do you think it'll go even lower? Or should I purchase it now?

Great video! Which one do you think would be a better buy in the US, the A80J 77 inch or the QN90A 85"?

The only real question is - if there is no heat sync - does processor slow/cool down or is there just wear and tear on the processor🧐

Sounds like Sony didn’t see enuff Pre-Super Bowl sales and are trying to clear out a larger than expected inventory.. harder times ahead?

Just picked up the A80J for 2999 at BB

I own a 65” a80j and I spent a lot of time looking at content on the 65” a90j and over the period of price drops in the US I didn’t feel the extra $1500 was worth it. There’s no question in some dark areas of scene the a90j will be brighter where as the a80j doesn’t get the detail. It’s not something you can fix by changing the brightness on the Sony 80j. That is the only thing I contemplate between the two tv’s irregardless of size. Playing Batman (a dark film) is a good way to legitimately see the difference between both tvs.

Wow I can't believe how much UK pays for that TV $5 k USD.

I still find these TVs expensive. Luckily I was able to get my hand on an LG OLED 3 years ago for $999 and it’s still my main tv. No issues still strong and beautiful picture.

Damn down to 3k again on Amazon. Have had a few large purchases recently so have to save up again… hope it’s available at that price when I’m ready to buy.

I got this tv for 3k absolute steal

In the UK the a90j is getting quite a lot of great and bad reviews due to picture quality and judde issues. There must be a bad batch out there.

I watch mostly Netflix and stream sports. I’m able to get 85” Qn90a and 77” a80j for same price. Which is the better tv?

its even less right now on best buy and amazon

I went 65" A80J OLED instead of 75" Samsung QN85A. Did I make the wrong choice?

Is this a temporary price cut?

Still 3999 in Europe.

Vincent:Crying of pricing
India:LG GX 77''=$19500
WTF!!!!

Love your vids Vincent, you've done all the legwork for us!
Mate, I'd love the cheaper pricing you get in the U.K. Here in Australia the A80J 77inch is currently $9,999 AUD.

The price on the 65 in A80j was looking amazing but Sony only having 2 hdmi 2.1 ports for some reason or another really made this a no go for me. Glad the 65 inch LG G1 is now $2799 will pick that bad boy up shortly.

Achilles Heel: this TV (and the A90J) only has a 100 Mbps ethernet port. Excited about Bravia CORE & PureStream? Here's a quote from the PureStream FAQ: "To enjoy at the highest speed of 80 Mbps, you need an internet speed of 115 Mbps or faster. Ethernet (wired LAN) connections are limited to 100 Mbps due to the TV's product specifications. Therefore, to enjoy 80 Mbps with the Pure Stream™ functionality, you need to connect to a Wi-Fi router that supports IEEE 802.11 ac/n (wireless LAN)." Also, it can't do wired and wireless at the same time, so you'll need to unplug your ethernet in order for wifi to connect properly. Other than that, these TVs look great. Bravia CORE movies look and sound great @ 80 Mbps. There are currently ~100 movies available for 'unlimited streaming', and 12 are in 4k--the rest are HD. There are over 600 movies available to "redeem"--but after you redeem your 5 or 10 movies, you can't rent or buy any of the other movies. I'm sure that will change at some point.

Would you recommend the Samsung Q900ts 75 in over the Sony A80j 77-in?

I had this tv for 2 weeks and couldn’t live with the screen flickering, audio drops and blooming was brutal mainly while gaming. I took it back and got me a LG C1 abs just love it. Gaming is a whole new world on the C1. Smooth as butter and beautiful picture. And the QN90A I had here in Canada only had a single HDMI 2.1 port. Where the C1 has 4! At least in Europe you guys get 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. That is a plus I guess

One who reads 3499 as 3500 is truly wise and to be trusted.

I'm only interested in a 65 inch A80J, I would buy it now if it was $2000

Never change, sir, please never change! lol

Thanks for your recommendation on 77" A80J vs 65" A90J. Wondering what your thoughts are on 65" A80J vs. 75" X90J, which are roughly in the same price range. Does it make sense to "upgrade" to a smaller OLED?

I believe Sony A90J uses the new Evo panel from LG. Love to see some benchmark vs the smaller size A90J when it launches.

Add this price point, did the A80J is a better option over the LG GX (currently at the same price at best buy)?

Sony should release 48 inch A80J and 77inch A90J

They should make sure A90J OLED Master Series is 600 more G1 not 1300 bit too much.

I think 77 A8J is the best choice for major of enthusiast users. If on black friday it will have anothe price cut it will be the best buy

I'm looking at the C1 or A80j to purchase. I watch at lot of sports/Rugby league,F1, NASCAR, Indycar, Basketball ect. I also watch movies Blu Ray s and Netflix.I live in Australia where the prices are double the C1 is currently $4500/65 inches and A80j isn't out yet and waiting for release. Which out of the two is best for my self I'm not a fan of the soap opera effect. I currently have a pioneer Kuro plasma TV 50 inch which has been great but is ageing and I don't have any screen tarring or shudder with it which I'm not a fan of in the OLED s. Look forward to you feedback. PS love your you tube channel.

My issue with these sets is when they sometimes have those dumb pegs on the side which mandates a much wider table because they’re on the edges of the tv. The normal centered stand is still most practical and nicest looking.

Hi i am a big time follower of your channel and thank you for indepth reviews. Need your advise if i should buy 65” cx or a80j. A80j is 400 dollars more expensive than cx. My use case is watching movies, sports and netflix series during daytime bright room. No gaming. Please advise if a80j is worth the premium

Watching this on my A80J. Wouldn't be here without you Vincent, thank you sir!!

I'm a Sony fan boy like the best of them but aren't we just assuming that the A80J is a better TV than the LG? I don't see that Vincent has tested the A80J, so quantifying the differences in terms of picture quality is just a guess at this point, right?

I dunno. Just got my A80J 77" delivered today from RC Willey for $3499. Have been looking at the A80J 77" for about a month, from BestBuy to Amazon, they always had it at $3499 while Sony's website has always been higher, and their prices is consistently higher then their vendors. The reason why I bought it from RC Willey was that they have it in stock.

This might be a unusual question. When it comes to we the end users of Stream platform services like Disney+ Netflix and so on. On the Picture side, HDR/HDR-10 vs Dolby Vision. Is there any testing on what format gives best Picture with want`s left from the picture info. Here in Norway, Netflix content with Dolby Vision have rely taken a turn from god to the very disappointing side, while the HDR-10 does ok. Disney+ does dolby vision well for a streaming service. Have there been done a comparison on same platform content that have bout HDR/HDR-10 vs Dolby Vision ?

I predict the 77 A80J will be priced around $2500 for black friday/holiday pricing. That is when I will bite and buy one even though I just bought a 75" X900H last year :(.

When QN95A review?

I bought an A9G 77" earlier this year expecting that the A80J 77" price would be stable for some time but it looks like the Matrix pulled a fast one on me. I am fine with the A9G though. I think that except for the A90J models, I don't think that the improvements in performance are going to jump out at the average viewer on the vast majority of content.

Hello there lads..

I want your help !

OLED Users can you please answer this mysterious question of mine about burn-in issue on OLED Tvs. If i set to maximum brightness beak while Gaming Mode or Watching Movies & Tvs Shows for like 10, 12, 14 hrs but there is no logos nor static stuff, do i still have a chance of burn in risk. or it's all fine unless if there is static images & logos etc..

Answering this would be huge help..

+Thanks.

Do a video on the new 12.9” iPad. The display is insane.

Vincent, are you saying that Sony A90J is the only set, that uses boosting of WRGB sub-pixels for HDR impact and Panasonic on their Pro OLED models don't use it, thereby not having the same HDR impact as the Sony A90J?
