Made for movie buffs, gamers and sports fanatics, LG's most popular OLED in its premium lineup of TVs is even more impressive with brighter colors, a new, more advanced processor and sleek, slim bezel. It makes a great gaming monitor as well—you'll get low input lag and fast response times with Auto Low-Latency Mode and HGiG compliance, with four HDMI 2.1 connections for consoles, PCs, and sound systems. Stream your games with cloud gaming support for GEFORCE Now. Control your TV and connected devices by voice with support for Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay, HomeKit, and many more (separate device may be necessary). LG's 4K smart TV includes built-in access to Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, Paramount+, Peacock, YouTube TV, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and more (requires service subscription). *Brighter vs. traditional WRGB OLED panel used in the B and A OLED series and similar sized conventional LG OLED models not including 42-inch, 48-inch C2. **Dolby, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. ***Depending on installation environment, there may be a slight gap between the TV and the wall. Installation requirements vary. See installation guide for details.

RTINGS

The best 42-inch TV we've tested is the LG OLED42C2PUA. It's a fantastic TV that delivers stunning picture quality, especially in dark rooms, thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio. Its OLED panel delivers perfect black uniformity, with no distracting blooming or haloing around bright objects in dark scenes. It's fantastic for a variety of uses, including if you want to use the smaller size as a PC monitor, and its wide viewing angle is great for use as a PC monitor, as the sides of the screen remain uniform even if you're sitting close to the screen. You can also easily share your screen with someone else, and they'll see the same thing you do.

It has great accuracy even without calibration, resulting in life-like images without the added expense of having to calibrate. HDR content looks excellent thanks to the near-infinite contrast and its color gamut that displays a wide range of colors. It also has decent HDR peak brightness to make some highlights stand out, but if peak brightness is important to you, the Samsung QN90B QLED is a 43-inch TV that gets even brighter but doesn't produce the same perfect black levels, so the LG is better overall.

If you want something a bit bigger than the Samsung Q60/Q60A QLED, the best 42-Inch TV we've tested is the LG OLED42C2PUA. This TV delivers remarkable performance compared to other small models. It performs best in dark rooms because it has a near-infinite contrast ratio that produces perfect black levels, and there isn't any blooming around bright objects. It means it's remarkable for watching movies, and the 4k resolution allows you to stream your favorite content in crisp detail.

If you want to use it in a wide seating area or place it in the kitchen and walk around while watching TV, the wide viewing angle means that the image remains consistent as you move off to the side. Even in bright rooms, it has incredible reflection handling, meaning visibility won't be an issue in most rooms. It also has good SDR peak brightness, but if you want something even brighter, check out the Samsung QN90B QLED, which has remarkable peak brightness but doesn't deliver the same perfect black levels as the LG.

If you find typical 24, 27, or 32-inch monitors too small, you should look for larger displays. Although you can easily game on a 55-inch TV, you might find that too big for a desk, so monitor manufacturers are starting to release more large-screen monitors in the 40 to 50-inch range. There are LED options with a 43-inch screen like the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U, and there are slightly larger OLEDs at 48 inches. The advantage these sizes bring you is that they maintain the typical 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning you won't get black bars on the side in certain games like with an ultrawide.

There are a few downsides to this screen size, though. They tend to be expensive, and there aren't many models available, but they're growing in popularity. Also, these monitors don't usually have good ergonomics as they come with fixed stands, so it's harder to move the screen around to share with a friend for co-op gaming unless you have the desk space to move the entire monitor.

The best large-screen gaming monitor we've tested is the LG 42 C2 OLED. It's a 42&quot; TV that's very popular for use as a gaming monitor. It delivers an amazing gaming experience, with a near-instant response time that results in no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. It supports variable refresh rate technology and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four inputs, meaning it can take full advantage of the Xbox Series S|X and the PS5. It also delivers fantastic picture quality, with a near-infinite contrast ratio that delivers deep, inky blacks in a dark room with no noticeable blooming around bright objects.

 The Sony sports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and Hybrid Log Gamma HLG HDR formats, and includes IMAX enhanced certification, along with a Netflix calibrated mode, but there's no filmmaker mode. It is a shame that Sony never seems to take part in any industry wide initiatives like the filmmaker mode preferring to do their own thing like the custom mode. Audio wise there is support for Dolby Atmos and calibration using the acoustic auto calibration system. The Cognitive Processor XR can also analyse the sound position of the signal so the sound matches precisely with the action on the screen

 Audio wise there is support for Dolby Atmos and calibration using the acoustic auto calibration system. The Cognitive Processor XR can also analyse the sound position of the signal so the sound matches precisely with the action on the screen. In addition it up converts any sound to 3D surround to deliver an immersive soundscape, and being a Sony OLED TV the screen is the speaker thanks to the excellent Acoustic Surface Audio Plus. The Sony A80J has Google Smart TV that replaces the Android OS system seen in previous OLED models, and we found the system worked well with no issues of slowdown or crashing, and the entire OS felt fast and intuitive to use

While the new models for 2022 have just been announced at CES, the A80J from Sony offers superb image accuracy for movie viewing in dim surroundings with excellent sound quality thrown in for those without an external sound system. Plus, shopping around may result in a much better price than at launch as retailers move on stock for the new arrivals in the coming months. While the LG C1 is the better bet for gaming and HDMI 2.1 flexibility, the Sony A80J offers highly detailed image quality with superb video processing and motion. Added to this is incredible image quality for critical movie viewing with stunning colour accuracy and superb tone mapping, bringing movies to life with excellent cinematic flair. Today’s OLED market is tough with many great TVs offering their own pros and cons, but for movie fans, the Sony really does offer great calibrated image quality and features and comes highly recommended for that use.

Sony Bravia XR A80J OLED TV Review - YouTube

 Compared to last year's A8H and A9G, the Bravia A80J delivers cleaner near blacks with significantly less flashing artefacts, more impactful HDR driven by Bravia XR processing, TV-led rather than player-led Dolby Vision, even sharper upscaling, more granular film mode or cinema motion control, and of course HDMI 2.1 support. The step-up A90J still has the edge in several aspects, thanks to its latest, more efficient OLED panel and additional metallic heatsink. But for the budget conscious, the Sony A80J represents a very appealing package

 Just like the A90J, the Bravia A80J turned off its white subpixels near black, resulting in significantly less near-black flashing artifacts than pre-2021 Sony OLEDs, both on test patterns and in heavily compressed viewing material, such as this footage from Game of Thrones when it was first aired. Compared to our 55-inch A90J review sample, the Sony A80J we tested had better near-black gamma tracking with a smoother transition coming out of black. But even after calibration and mitigation, shadow detail remained slightly brighter and compressed when compared against rival OLED TVs which provided more granular calibration controls near-black. That said, outside of a side-by-side comparison for reference, most viewers probably would still be happy with the clean near-black handling on the Sony A80J

 Hello everyone, Vincent Teoh from HDTV Test here. Our 65-inch Sony A80J review unit uses a conventional OLED panel, rather than the latest, more efficient one implemented on the step-up A90J Master Series OLED, as verified by not only the spectral power distribution or SPD, but also significantly less pink tint of axis. Just like the A90J, the Bravia A80J turned off its white subpixels near black, resulting in significantly less near-black flashing artifacts than pre-2021 Sony OLEDs, both on test patterns and in heavily compressed viewing material, such as this footage from Game of Thrones when it was first aired. Compared to our 55-inch A90J review sample, the Sony A80J we tested had better near-black gamma tracking with a smoother transition coming out of black

 The onboard acoustic surface audio plus speakers sounded very good by television standards, and in fact better than the 55-inch A90J we tested 2 months ago, probably because the larger screen size of 65 inches naturally lent itself to a wider sound stage, as well as more precise sound localisation, for example during this sequence from Arrival, where news readers popped up at different areas on screen. Let's sum up, the Sony A80J inherits many strengths of the flagship A90J Master Series OLED, which is hardly surprising given that they share the same Bravia XR processor.

1 ports with a full bandwidth of 48 Gbps according to the edit read by the excellent Meridio 7G signal generator. The Sony A80J ships with a standard black remote control with lackluster tactile feedback, instead of the premium backlit remote supplied with the flagship A90J.

We review the Sony A80J 4K OLED TV with BRAVIA XR processor, covering various aspects of picture quality including:

0:00 Sony A80J teaser vs LG C1 & Sony A90J
0:45 Near-black handling
1:30 Colour accuracy
1:51 Motion performance
3:53 Video processing including upscaling

5:49 HDR peak brightness including Dolby Vision
7:34 Gaming including input lag & HDMI 2.1
10:01 Design including remote control
11:10 Acoustic Surface Audio+ sound quality
11:36 Summary

Our review sample is the 65-inch Sony XR-65X80J, but the BRAVIA A80J is also available in 55-inch (model number Sony XR-55X80J) & 77-inch (XR-77A80J) screen sizes.

Sony A80J OLED TV Review - 80% to 90% of A90J's Picture ...

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

 Sound is impressive. Google TV works great and the Live OTA guide with ATSC3.0 is really cool. But I’m considering returning it since I’m facing a quite annoying know issue with Wi-Fi turning off or losing connection almost every day

Amazing contrast but constant Wi-Fi issues
