Sony A80J with Xbox Series X

[@JoelsterG4k]

What did you think of the side by side comparison with the LG C1.?

[@reviewforthetube6485]

I think the a80j did just as well for not supposedly being a gaming TV ahhaa. Also remember tons of settings for the a80j. Imo I prefer the versatility on image for the sony tvs. Also the a90j is truely brighter espeiclaly since you are a normal consumer using settings. That's where the a90j truely shines. Nobody shows that stuff though its always stock with everything off. There are many other things yoy can do Also that would surprised you down in the lower section of settings that most dont touch. But for sony to do that good with gaming and then give you the advantage with movies which does absolutely look better it's a win for me. I love my a90j so much.

Is the Benq EX3210r monitor 6bit+FRC ? I read online that it’s 6bit + FRC. Is this accurate? Can’t be true right?

[@YavNe]

@@reviewforthetube6485 Scr** your A90J you're talking about on every Sony OLED video. It gives sh** colors, its whites off, its yellows are oversaturated. The A80J is the best TV, no matter what. Do you love your A90J when it gets even dimmer than the G1 on sports and gaming? When the JZ2000 can keep brightness at bright scenes the A90J can't even while it has a heatsink as well. Skies are dim, people's skins are dim. Sony is bad on that dimming issue.

You are an honest reviewer The sdr, hdr difference was honestly explained.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

For the sony to do that good with gaming and give you that advantage with movies I would always choose sony and this was just the a80j. The a90j used by normal consumers who utilize the settings will truely get the extra from it which nobody actually shows its always with everything shut off. The a90j is very bright for an oled and color is insanely good. It's truely the best I've used for movies and looks the best I've seen in games for sure. Even when comparing to my lg oled. Also every oled I've used has short term image retention in one way or another it always goes away. The only oled I've never seen it on is the a90j due to the heatsync. It's an awesome benefit! Listen I love sony game mode but there movie modes are even further better. It's insanely good loll

Its about to sell. I'm going to get either another C1, G1 or a80j. But Sony need to get it together with these features.

[@dave2094]

Once the A80J dims though due to the ASBL then it's about the same as the c1 in SDR. I actually noticed the dimming more in HDR though than SDR. Great tv for movie watching, for gaming though I personally wouldn't go Sony.

[@skyform]

My A8H doesn’t dim even after playing Forza Horizon 4-5 straight for 3h.

[@dave2094]

@@skyform games with static elements such as a hud will dim on all oleds. You just may not notice it. I noticed it all the time in the A80J but when I tried the C1 I didn't really notice it. It's more aggressive on the A80J but also on the C1 or G1 you can turn it off so it doesn't dim.

[@skyform]

@@dave2094 I know what you mean. FH5 has tons of static elements. I had a Philips OLED706 3 weeks ago and ABL was way worse on it even though it had the function to dim only static elements like LG which Sony doesn’t have yet it was dimming way more during playing games. After 10-15min static elements dimmed which I didn’t like at all, every text and icons were so dim, I really didn’t like this and after a while even the whole picture dimmed especially on bright places like on the beach for example which has bright sand, water and skies but it doesn’t on my A8 highlights pop like on an LCD. I have also XE90 and XG95 and A8 has nice bright whites, subtitles like Sony LCDs while Philips had dimmer highlights and really dim and greenish subtitles, Sony is so much nicer even color wise. Philips picture was so greenish and I couldn’t get ride of it. I simply love Sony’s colors, white balance, sharpness, clarity and processing, this guys are on another level.

This obsession with brightness since HDR exist is pretty dumb. It's unhealthy for eyes especially if people watch such a bright picture in a completely dark environment. I like my A8 you like your LG, we are both happy with our TV's everything else is unimportant.

[@YavNe]

Dynamic Contrast at High makes the C1 soooooo much brighter also Peak Brightness at High on Standard Picture Mode. ;D

[@coreyharrell9079]

The game mode disables (and many other tv picture settings) what you got an series x for, missing VRR, dolby vision and 120hz vrr. It still does not support Freesync after the update and it has a higher input lag with and without game mode enabled. I love the better HDR, but I can wait for the better OLEDs to come out from LG since they just announced the finally have a pur blue organic light-emitting diode, which should allow the LG OLEDs to perform like the new QLEDs without the extra help from quantum dots. I got the 55 inch C1 due to it having the 4 HDMI 2.1 ports and all of specs are available for next gen consoles and my pc video card. Shooting for that 77 inch C2 for a deal on the G1 version. Sony neutered a great tv, but still charging us over premium price for features that are missing.

Does the screen grab 120 fps?

[@dangy785]

There’s a big problem with both A90J and A80J that reviewers skip over and I don’t understand why. HDTV test and many others don’t talk about this when it comes to gaming. Anyways I had a A90J and I bought it because of all the praise from channels like this. When I started gaming I noticed in literally about 2-3 mins tops the screen would dim over 40% almost. It was very very distracting and the entire point of being the “brightest” and most pop oled was lost and pointless. So the Sony tvs do NOT have a ability to turn off static logo dimming like the LG tvs have. And this would make it dim in 98% of games that had any HUD elements. This is a HUGE deal breaker and I think reviewers need to mention things like this so it helps consumers make a informed purchase. The LG C1 with no heat sink ends up being brighter because the Sony gets way darker than the C1 after 2 mins in any game. It’s really a huge deal and this needs to be mentioned. I hope Sony adds the ability to turn off logo dimming

[@JoelsterG4k]

Maybe they fixed that issue with a firmware update because I did not have that issue at all or I would've mentioned it in this video.

[@dangy785]

@@JoelsterG4k I have one A90J in my bedroom and LG C1 for gaming in my game room. I had 2 and returned one (the one used for gaming ). For movies is still great. Issue is still very much there sadly. If you have a chance go into settings and try to find any option to stop static logo dimming. It isn’t there yet. Also try turning on any game with a HUD. Destiny is a good one to try or genshin impact. Look at the numbers or bars and you’ll notice a big dim after a while. Beating the whole point of the bright panel. Check it out when u can.

I bet they enable it for the PS5, but it will be gimped in some way. The PS5 does not an RDNA2 gpu, anything before RDNA2 does not have HDMI 2.1, but they problably will let the HDMI 2.1 chipset that they put in the TV or PS5 do the work. They PS5 hdmi bandwidth is capped at 32gbps, which will hurt it showing 4k 120 hz at its full glory.

Note: i am not a gamer and recently only started thinking for doing console gaming just for an hour and so. I even have no knowledge of PS5 or Xbox series s/x. Budget wise I can afford upto 400-500USD(50000 INR). SO Please suggest.

[@coreyharrell9079]

@@gauravdighe4117 I have both, right now the series s would likely be the best value due to you being able to try a month out on gamepass which has 100s of games for you to play. The console is all digital so you would buy games that are not on Gamepass from the store or online with gift cards or your debit card. The PS5 has a digital and a disc version one being 100 bucks over the non disc version. The PS5 is getting the subscription service revamped the next couple of months, it won't be entirely like Xboxs but you have an option. Gamepass is likey the best deal in gaming due to the amount of games and quality first party games that drop on day one. PS5 is the more expensive route, but they have a good game collection, they just make you jump through hoops to play the previous generations titles. But since your going digital both consoles older games are accessible in more than one way. If you look hard enough you can likely find an Xbox Series S for under $260 in some places, you may even find someone selling one even cheaper. Now when it comes to the Series X or the PS5 they are selling for MSRP or higher. If your a casual gamer, I would find the cheapest Series S and try gamepass for free or either $1 for a month. Hopefully by the time you get to splurge on a better TV, the prices for both high end consoles would have dropped. You need to check out the Hisense U8G, it better reviews on rtings.com and across many sites and its rated higher than the X80 and up series. It also had a 120hz panel.
