LG C1 vs Sony A80J

The sound from the LG speakers do amazingly well. I used it for several days with just these speakers and found them easy to hear voice. Since I'm older and listened to a lot of loud music when younger my hearing is not what it used to be. Kids today with their earbuds and headphones should really start to learn sign language now

“Custom” is essentially the TV intelligently calibrating to whatever you’re watching, and it works beautifully! Then there’s a dedicated “Netflix Calibrated Mode” which is Netflix perfected, as well as “IMAX Enhanced” which is mainly for Sony’s Bravia Core service that offers titles in IMAX quality with DTS. Both of which might be exclusive to Sony TVs. I don’t know of any other TV manufacturer that has them. The sound this TV produces is also really good

I did that straight away. You do also have the option to use the tv as a kind of iot hub for your smart home tech, although i don't have a smart fridg...

So to try this out, we're going to go to settings, account and sign in, our account, we're going to remove the account, and as you can see here, the o...

Now I had a "default" device, so to speak, that I could switch to before powering the TV off. When I powered the TV on, it would just turn on the Apple TV. Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of the interface, controls nor the remote. Voice control was incredibly subpar

But would you use your Tv as a center channel? I wonder how it sounds versus an average speaker? I'll have to give it a whirl, but both of these items...

The 5 stars is for the best picture quality you can get without going into the ridiculously high end home theater market (think Best Buy's Magnolia showroom where a single remote runs about $1,000, and only a professional has the security key to set it up).

I can’t really run an Ethernet cable through the wall, so I need to make a decision fast.

You can press the back button to get the thumbnails to disappear, but they will only go away for a few seconds and then pop back up for a few seconds! WHO DESIGNED THIS?? And I made the huge mistake of changing the default picture setting to cinema mode when I thought I was just trying it out on a single show. I went back into settings to return to standard mode, but it always starts in cinema now - every time there is a new episode! - so I have to go back to settings and change back to standard EVERY SINGE TIME. Sooooooooo irritaging. AGAIN, WHO DESIGNED THIS THING? I would recommend waiting until the interface is drastically improved before buying the next version of this TV

(Netflix offers a few tittles in Dolby Vision, as does HBO MAX though those two it's rare, but Disney Plus will adjust to the platform for audio and visual); Regardless I am blown away by the picture clarity, it's interface, and depending on your preference, I found the built in Audio into the screen to be Atmos and excellent for the first time in flat panel screens. I prefer a 5.1 experience, but a sound bar is not really required for this set. One thing to clarify that I was slightly disappointed with is that you can either Lift the height and the legs remain spread out, but if you bring the legs in closer then you can't elevate it so the adjustable hight and width is either/ or and the hight is about 3-4 inches anyway

TV is great in every category except in starting it and shutting it down ,sometimes it starts in its own if Roku not completely closed and setting transferred to cable before shutting it down

The screen stays on until my google account is signed in. Some review complains about its WiFi connection. I have not experienced this. Maybe it is because I use Apple TV 4K

And while the Samsung monitor does reach twice the refresh rate at 240Hz, compared to 120Hz for the LG, highly technical review sites like Rtings will tell you the LG is actually better when it comes to response time and blur (which is what we actually care about when we care about refresh rate). While I’ve been comfortable working that way for weeks, it’s simply not as much screen real estate as Samsung gives you.

The HDMI 2.1 ports support up to 120Hz in 4K HDR and are compatible with variable refresh rate (VRR), but there is a catch: like all Sony displays right now, VRR is only promised for an undefined “future” firmware update and is not currently enabled. If you’re planning to game with a PlayStation 5, this isn't a big deal since the PS5 doesn’t support VRR yet either. But if you’re using an Xbox, it certainly bears consideration
