Our take on the Sony BRAVIA XR65A80J 65" 4K HDR OLED Smart TV with Google TV

The Sony BRAVIA XR A80J is a 4K OLED TV built on Sony's Cognitive Processor XR, with Google TV for apps and voice search. OLED panels give it per-pixel contrast and wide viewing angles, and the A80J adds HDMI 2.1 inputs with 4K at 120 Hz and variable refresh rate for consoles. It sits below Sony's flagship A90J, which is brighter, so the A80J suits dark-room movie watchers and gamers more than sunlit living rooms. Reviewers rate its picture processing and motion handling highly and note that OLED brightness is its main limit against bright LED rivals.

Questions and answers

Is the A80J worth it over the A90J?

The A90J is brighter and has a better heatsink for higher peak highlights. The A80J keeps the same processor and OLED contrast for less, so it is the better value unless you watch in a very bright room.

Does it support 4K at 120 Hz for PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Yes. Two of its HDMI inputs are 2.1 and support 4K at 120 Hz plus variable refresh rate, so current consoles can use their high-frame-rate modes.

Is OLED burn-in a real risk?

It can happen with static logos, tickers or game HUDs left on for long stretches. Vary content, use the built-in panel care settings, and the risk stays low for normal mixed viewing.

What is in the box?

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

Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?

Yes to both. It handles Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos passthrough, but it does not support HDR10+.

What size is the screen?

This is the 65-inch model, model XR-65A80J, in the A80J series.
