Sony Bravia A80K A90K OLED Best Settings Walkthrough | SDR | HDR10 | Dolby Vision | Gaming

[@dhomama]

Thank you. I’ve been waiting for this to setup on my A80K77. Thank you.

[@Skidaleedidaleedo]

XR77A80K, 5 red blinks, T-con was replaced, TV sometimes turns on, goes black, still on and off, and I have to factory reset... Still not stable... Have you had this issue ???

[@CrossRavenX]

Great timing because I'll be buying one of these on Wednesday. Thanks a lot!

[@NateHZ28]

Came here first off all to say thank you Classy, you’re a true gem. I purchased an A80K a few months back and have been trying to perfect the settings without be able to afford a professional calibration. I was running DV Bright Gradation preferred but I started using DV Dark recently and started to like it better, but the colors and white point seemed offc and had a noticeable yellow tint. Someone recommended your settings of Warm with B -15 G -3 and that looks better to my eyes. But now that I see you recommend DV Bright GP I’m having second thoughts.

[@Skidaleedidaleedo]

Do you have any issues with the XR77A80K, 5 red blinks, T-con was replaced...

[@alpzepta]

These setting make my A80K look so good next to my great old Sony WEGA CRT TV

[@phillipvorndran6531]

Thanks, was hoping you would share settings for A80k since you were doing the other Sony tvs! I just scored a 50 percent off open box deal (damn near new with all accesories and paperwork)on one so it made my decision easy to choose over the C2!

[@lousekoya1803]

Wow Classy ! You really Rock !! I owe you a treat if you ever come by near Montreal ! Thank you so much !

[@doskiller9693]

Best TV room on KZbin ........ hands down ........ ;-)

[@TheExtraTerrestrial]

Thanks! Just got a 77" A80, and these seem pretty reasonable. Biggest thing is trying to decide on the motion processing. I've never been a fan of it on my LG, but supposedly Sony is the best for this sort of thing. I think smoothness on 1 may actually be the way to go now.

[@DandCentertainment]

Holy smokes… that’s a lot. Thank you sir!

[@brevinbailey760]

Great Video as always!!! Love the settings and the music in the background 😊😊😊

[@CarlosBallinas]

Hi Classy, just became a member. Looking forward to being part of this community. Do these settings also apply to the A80L?

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

Thanks For the most part yes.

[@davem68]

Have just bought the 77” so this is great to have. Love your content Classy and comments on other live stream events. Many thanks.

[@weekileaks23]

Someone else just posted a video with full white point for A80k. Id love to see how they measure for you?👍🏻

[@eldontyrell6598]

Who posted? Could you please share a link? Can't find such a video on any platform.

[@scottwallace1]

Don't tease. Post a link! 😉📺

[@weekileaks23]

@@scottwallace1 sorry he took the video down oddly? His settings where a little crazy. Live color on medium and he paid for the calibration. I think his calibrator(Which may have been Best Buy) or someone asked him to take down. He said something about paying 5 dollars for the settings from some calibrators web setting. It was kinda hard to understand what he was saying. Sorry again

[@ricardo1522]

@@weekileaks23 i have an idea where he purchased his "calibration", that person is not a calibrator, for years he has been scamming people into thinking he can calibrate and will attack, block and file complaints against anyone who calls him out, its basically forcing the tv into HDR color space, boosting brightness and crushing shadows for more pop.

[@RafaelPortoMediaServices]

Any chance for the 10 or 20 point Advanced settings for Dolby Vision Bright or any HDR mode please? Thanks so much

[@bdshort]

Thanks for this video! I should have the 77" version of this set next week.

[@Atone2391]

Do these settings work well with the a80l 65 ? These all seem similar to your a80j review which has made my tv perfect

[@UnitedRedDevil13]

Been trying to confirm as well

[@garyhowe7087]

Yes the a80l is exactly the same apart from having a better sound speakers and more options on the legs to stand it on

[@iceman27917]

Thanks!

[@GamingTech-YouTube]

Thanks for the Video!

[@TheMerlin1984]

I’ve noticed that when in game mode on the ps5 and you switch over to the media function, it doesn’t automatically realise this, so therefore I have to turn off vrr. The LG’s automatically detect this.

[@paulruscior6302]

Thanks for the video, super helpful! Is there any way to reduce the dimming with this TV while watching sports or gaming due to static elements on screen? I really like it but I'm thinking about returning it and getting a C2 if there is no way to stop it, somehow the image doesn't only dim but the colors look washed out when it does it. I'm a bit worried that I won't like the picture quality on the C2 do you think there is a visible difference between the two in terms of that? Thanks again!

Settings audio output Speakers : audio system A/V sync: auto Earc mode: auto Digital Audio out : auto 1 (should this be PCM?) Dolby digital plus output : dolby digital plus Pass through mode: auto Hdmi 4 is apple tv 4k set enhanced 4k (dolby vision) Sonos app shows Dolby Atmos but dont see it in the sony menu showing dolby atmos (saw yours shows in video). What am i missing.

[@garyhowe7087]

If the Sonos app is saying it's Dolby Atmos, then it is Dolby Atmos

[@dhomama]

Quick question. On A80K, how I can enable Cognitive processing to give Focal Point effect? Thank you.

[@williamp985]

Thanks for the info I will be trying some of it when I have my a75k setup. Having said that hdmi 4 signal format does selecting vrr include Dolby vision? Or do you have to manually change it to dv when you watch a 4k blu ray and back again u play a game? Thanks

[@Dragontron20]

Am I wrong for still preferring Vivid (with lower brightness) over everything? 😅

[@phoenixdown1848]

What shield upscaling settings would you recommend for Plex, or should I be using resolution switch so the tv does it? Thanks heaps

[@Vetteman6363]

Can you use these settings on the a80l also?

[@garyhowe7087]

Yes, the two models are almost identical

[@mrhunter2154]

I find the edges are too jagged and all calibrations seem to like keeping the sharpness at 50, is there something I need to turn off to eliminate that? I didn’t turn pixel shift off because I don’t want burn in. I have the A90k

[@DjBlaaack]

Can these apply to the B8 essentially ?

[@midmassguy]

Hello classy hope you can help i have a Sony a95k Oled when in game mode for ps5 should Auto pitcher mode be grayed out? hope this isn't a stupid question thank you. great content as always.🙏.

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

If you use the PS5 for watching content too, you can have it on and it should go out of game mode when watching, and back to game mode when playing.

[@midmassguy]

@@ClassyTechCalibrations thank you for your help.🙏

[@Bound2glory]

Getting a defective 77 A80j replaced from Sony with a A80k. Wondering - last year you adjusted the color mode in Dolby Vision to WARM and pulled back on the blue and green spectrum. Is that no longer recommended for this year's model? Thx! 👍🏼

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

It was an option that could be done but was not the best option I'd recommend. The one in this is generally the main recommendation.

[@weekileaks23]

Very very close to what I run except I use DV Dark with Gamma at the 0. I thought we weren’t supposed to run tone mapping with DV? Also what Change would need to be made if using a Roku or Shield? Cinemotion? Great vid. I’m looking forward to trying DV Bright tonight with The Last of Us new episode m😄👍🏻

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

When using dark you don't enable a tone mapping setting, when using bright it helps to not be as too overly bright

[@weekileaks23]

@@ClassyTechCalibrations understand ty

[@tronlinestream]

@@ClassyTechCalibrations DoVi Bright + Gradation Preferred will bring the Brightness Close to Dovi Dark but it is still brighter than Dark. Can we bring down the Gamma from 0 to -1 to match the brightness with DoVi Dark or do you feel that it is inaccurate.. Another question i have is when we use Dovi Bright + Gradation Preferred , will we still get the benefit of dynamic meta data and tone mapping or we will totally go back to a static roll by Sony

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

@@tronlinestream It is still dynamic DV, and you can use -1 if you feel it is better. It is hard to say without a measurement if it is more accurate or not. In DV bright with gradation the lift in EOTF is mostly in the upper range which only effects brighter objects anyway.

[@jaylakhani5568]

Thank you

[@tommydangelo4892]

Questoon for you bro would these setting work on the a80l? Or no. Thanks

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

Very similar yes

[@Kung_Fu_Kenny]

What’s the difference between brightness Max+Peak Luminance Off vs 35+Peak Luminance Low? Thanks for these!

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

Usually peak luminance off and max brightness is too dark for most rooms (near or under 100 nits). Using PL low then adjusting the slider to what fits your room is the best way to do it without measurements.

[@Kung_Fu_Kenny]

@@ClassyTechCalibrations any idea how many nits 35+low is? Appreciate the reply. Using these with my A80J and the X90K settings with my X95J!

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

@@Kung_Fu_Kenny there would be too much variance between the models to really say for sure. But low at 50 is usually around 180ish. I'd guess around 130-150 range at 35.

[@Kung_Fu_Kenny]

@@ClassyTechCalibrations thanks man. You’re right about noise reductions on auto btw. I was watching David Fincher’s The Game (HD) and tried them out. Helped clean up the image a lot!

[@TheExtraTerrestrial]

@@Kung_Fu_Kenny I have peak luminance set to low, and brightness at 44. This gives me about 140 nits on a 100% window. Your panel may differ slightly.

[@joecosta1034]

In the smoothness column you have off or 1 there is no off , do you mean min or 1? or do you mean off in motionflow?

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

Min. Min is basically off.

[@joecosta1034]

Thanks for the reply one more question in HDR is it ok to leave reality creation and randon noise to auto? I have it off in Dolby vision because it allows me to keep that setting when viewing DV and doesn't switch back to auto like in HDR. Thanks

[@jslasher8822]

I set my TV up per the instructions for Game Mode, wanting to get the most out of my Xbox Series X. It is way too blindingly bright. What am I doing wrong? The only way I can tolerate playing in a low-light room setting is if I turn the brightness and contrast way down and the ambient sensor back on.

[@XxLaMaravish13xX]

Can someone please answer this.... does the a90k sony tv have "local dimming" and "extended dynamic range" options? I cant find it.

[@Wimpelmann]

Hello Classy, Is it worth to get a XR-77A84K ? I own a XR-77A80J with a bad pixel, Sony won´t fix this because of Pixel policy. I have 5 a year´s Warranty incl. 100% pixel warranty. the store offert me to take the a80j back and get the newer a84k. Is it worth it? the dead pixel on the a80j is not visible, only if you know were it is and with a static color. Greeetz from the Netherlands

[@tilda5944]

Le impostazioni hdr , quelle in cui doco che sono 14 click /800nits vanno bene per entrambi le TV? A90k ? Perché ho trovato in tanti posti in cui dicevano che la luminosità massima del a90k è 550 nits

[@Legenkilla]

The a90k hdr set up on xbox disappears at 500. Thats where im lost. Why put it to 800?

[@TheExtraTerrestrial]

Would you also recommend gamma at -1 for a dimly lit room (not pitch black) for SDR content? I tried it at 0, and the picture looked a little washed out, and colors a bit weak. I believe I had my older LG OLED calibrated to a gamma around 2.35, which is probably why my eyes don't like 2.2 (gamma 0).

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

Yeah I generally suggest -1

[@TheExtraTerrestrial]

@@ClassyTechCalibrations Thanks! I think you mentioned -1, peak luminance low and around 150 nits in a dim room, and that's about where I'm at (140 nits in my case, but looks pretty nice). One other quick thing: do you happen to know if the i1 display pro meters are accurate at lower light levels? I did a 10pt cal, and am just wondering if I can still trust the meter down at the 10% gray level. I have a Color Checker Display Pro, but I think it's the same thing, just new name.

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

@@TheExtraTerrestrial not really. As it gets darker it's accuracy drops. You can check it afterwards by eye with a pluge pattern or the dynamic range low pattern on the Spears and Munsil disc if you have it.

[@roberthuntley1090]

I did that - and found that setting black level down to 49 is best as a consequence (otherwise the black boundaries to a letterboxed movie are slightly visible in a totally dark room.

[@TaylorCFP]

Do you think these settings work for the A80L?

[@andrellholloway7337]

I am curious as well. Hopefully so as I think the models are fairly similar.

[@TwoLastNames]

Would you recommend not using the Warm color setting with the color adjustments to offset the Dolby Vision white point shift at this point? Did Sony address this issue on the A80K vs the A80J?

[@ClassyTechCalibrations]

While that was one option, it wasn't the best. Just using expert1 and DV bright with gradation preferred is the better overall option, and using HDR10 instead on these models is the best solution.

[@sduke802]

@@ClassyTechCalibrations what’s the logic for hdr10>dv? I feel like my a80J looks better in DV - brighter highlights and more detail and contrast in dim scenes. Vincent Teoh seems to agree that DV allows more detail in low apl scenes for OLEDs and some scenes can reach a higher apl with dynamic meta (at least from his DV stream vs HDR10 disc video).

[@isaiahang6739]
