Help!! think my bedroom is big enough for 65 inch 16 x 18 but which tv oled c1 lg this Sony or the samsung 90 model . hubby and I are basically house bound (we do not game) but, watch tv / many thanks for what you can recommend
I had the same dilemma, got this A80J 65" for this price from Costco during the last sale in September. At first it felt like lacking peak brightness, but the details are immersive. Now we got used to and it looks fantastic. We watch mostly movies. My wife streams TV during the day.
Technology wise this SONY is top-notch. Full control of adjustments.
Another + to consider - the sound is through the panel of the TV, i.e. the screen is the speakers. It rivals quality of a mid level soundbar/system, so you can save another $500+ for not spending on sound.

I don't like LGs operational system, it feels clunky. Less available apps.
Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vison - almost all new streaming content is in that format. Samsung doesn't support sound pass through, if you use fancy external audio system. Samsung's OS has less apps.

Sony has Android based OS, and pretty much any app you can imagine.

To me it was between SONY OLED and X90/X95. The X90 has higher peak brightness and scenes of daylight look more vivid and natural. However, movies in darkness will have a little glowing and cloud effect due to lesser contrast. The X90 is 2.5" thick and I don't think has the screen-as-a-speakers tech.

I would say get this for the bedroom, you'll be happy.

My 77" A80J $3k+tax is to be delivered Monday. Hope Costco drops the price so we can get price diff credit/refund.

83" C1 is not budging at all $5k
I've had the 77" for about a month. You won't regret it. It's a big difference from the 65" Oled I had.

I got the same 65 A80J but I was coming from a Plasma. This TV is much brighter than my Plasma was. Absolutely amazing TV, zero regrets with the purchase.

this or the oled lg ?? LG sale until sunday yikes at costco
If you are doing any sort of gaming with next gen systems then go with the LG. If not, then go with this.

I got the LG back in OCT and dont regret it since games are amazing on it. Is the picture quality better on the sony? Yes, but at the OLED level its comparing ferrari to lambos

My bedroom is about the same and i have a 65" TV in there sitting pretty comfortably. Get the biggest size you can afford for both price/room layout.

I personally beg to differ. I prefer to game on my a80j. I have both it and and the lg c1. While the c1 features are nice, it's really not that big of deal... it matters mostly if you're a pc gamer. I have both the series x & ps5. I use the ps5 with the a80j for the most part, currently i have the ps5 hooked up to the c1 and i notice a few hiccups here and there.

Gaming on the Sony felt noticeably smoother. Results/reviewers may say LG for gaming but i honestly felt better my a80j for that task.

Also longing for the 77" to drop. I'm upgrading from a 50" 8 year old Panasonic plasma. It's been an amazing tv but if I'm only buying one every 5-10 years - go big or go home

this costco's deal is included with insurance, but they don't have 55" listed in their website.

This is wrong. The Sony OLED is going to get HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate support in a future firmware update and will certainly support next gen gaming features on the Sony next gen console at least as well as LG. It will be fine for Xbox as well it just won't support Dolby Vision 120 frames per second which is hardly important.

Even if you value Dolby Vision 120 frames per second, Ps5 doesn't support dolby vision and Sony Oled should be at least as good for PS5.

I am confused between A80j 65 and X90j 77. Planning to use the tv in a small 11x11 room and will be sitting 7-8 ft from the screen
90 % of the content I watch will be movies and all with subtitles.

Is it true that constant use subtitle can cause burn in?

You are new to Sony firmware promises. What you see is what you get. Many manufactures are guilty. Sony maybe the worst on over promise and under deliver.

There is a giant thread on AVSForum of people who bought "PS5 Ready" Sony X900H TVs last year who would encourage anyone to be skeptical of Sony's claims to add functions later.

Was your gaming experience limited to consoles or did you use PC also?
