Is the A80L worth it over the LG C3?

The A80L wins on motion handling and built-in sound; the C3 is a bit brighter and has four HDMI 2.1 ports. Pick Sony if you skip a soundbar and watch a lot of film and sports.

Does it have HDMI 2.1 for PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Yes, but only two of the four HDMI inputs are 2.1. That covers one console plus a PC or second console at 4K 120Hz.

Do I need a soundbar?

Most owners say no. Acoustic Surface Audio+ uses the panel as a speaker and produces clear dialogue and decent bass for a TV.

How bright is it compared with other OLEDs?

It is typical for a 2023 OLED: great in a dark room, but it can look dim in a bright, sunlit room. QD-OLED sets go brighter.

Can it be wall-mounted?

Yes, it uses a 400 x 400 mm VESA pattern. At about 42 kg without the stand, use a heavy-duty mount and two installers.

The TV, its tabletop stand, the remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
