Gaming then x85k is better for the higher frame rate but for casual gamers it’s not needed. Being extra bright doesn’t mean it is better, if you’ve owned a cheaper Philips TV you would understand this. The x80k is the best value all round and it would appear best watching in the dark

Up to you I’m a guy with a 75” in the bedroom

[@nithinmalladi405]

One thing I wanted to point out, the camera you're using to record the footage adjusts exposure to the brightest image in frame, meaning the x85k with the brighter panel looks better while the less brighter x80k looks worse. That's why the x80k looked way worse in the video than how you described it, so, what you were seeing was not what was captured by the camera. Otherwise, great video!

[@TechSteve]

I know that, I’m using a Sony fx3 and I also adjust to the brighter TV, if you look on my channel i have over 300 TV video so there was alot of trial and error m. Now I film in HLG HDR and convert to rec. 709 for the masses.

[@nithinmalladi405]

@@TechSteveI am planning to buy the Sony x80k so was looking at review videos and found yours. I did not look at your latest videos before commenting so I didn't know. These comparisons you do are wayy better now! Thanks for your reply!

[@TechSteve]

Thanks, filming TVs is no easy task, but I’m doing it more than others and some people don’t realize that this channel was built off of my own money. And very few sponsorships

Best Buy website says X80K has 120 hz refresh rate, your video says otherwise. Am I misunderstanding something?

[@TechSteve]

Nope the x80k is 60Hz and the x85k is 120hz watch the individual review, i connect gaming consoles and measure the input levels.., www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/7b9521098a

Oh ok, at the time i made these videos the 85” wasn’t available so it wasn’t in my notes. Sorry about that

I apologise that this subject isn't directly linked to the video but I trust you enough to give me an honest answer. If you could choose between getting the hisense 50A6BGTUK or the Hisense QLED 50A7GQTUK which one would you choose? As usual keep up the great work!🙏🙏

Hello

[@Benvenjtos]

I prefer x80k

[@kiritoboss296]

I like the darker black in x80k

[@2fifty_ad819]

Yeah 85k has to much light takes away from the dark spot details

[@2fifty_ad819]

I just bought the 65 inch x80k , I love it coming from a Samsung 65in 6 series that stop working after only 4 years

[@albertomaderajr1990]

You can definitely see the differences in the video for sure

[@TechSteve]

4K bring it out 👍🏽

[@Iesous27]

Is it just me or does the x85k look so bright to the point it washes out the colour and make the picture look unnatural? The x80k seems like it has more natural colours. Even tho the x80k is 60hz, that doesn't seem to be a factor here. 60 fps max on a game is more than sufficient to have a premium gaming experience, even though I don't have a ps5 or xbox, this won't matter to me anyways. I bought the x80k for watching TV and movies. We'll see how it fairs in my fairly bright living room.

[@paulshearer9140]

Thanks Steve.

Cosa cambia dalla X80k alla X81k ?

By one

[@celestbennett]

I’m so confused. In the description of the tv it says it is 120hz…….

[@TechSteve]

The x85k is not the x80k

[@celestbennett]

@@TechSteve I bought the x80k and it says it has 120hz . That’s why I’m confused. It is the big screen 85 inch but the model is x80k!!!

[@furballbear]

@@celestbennett - The 85 inch X80K features a 120 Hz IPS panel but all the smaller sizes are only 60 Hz. This is because the X85K doesn't come in 85 inches.

[@ricosuave3384]

@@TechSteve Sony 50" X80K's come in both VA and IPS/ADS. Your version looks like an IPS to me. It's unfortunate that this is the only size you could acquire. All other sizes are IPS. Your comparison is limited to the 50" only.
