While it has a wide color gamut for HDR content, it simply doesn't get bright enough to bring out highlights in HDR. That said, it has good wide viewing angles, and it gets decently bright, so glare shouldn't be an issue in rooms with moderate amounts of light. With a low contrast ratio, its ADS panel can't really produce deep inky blacks, and it doesn't have a local dimming feature to improve black levels. It lacks many features you'd find on higher-end TVs but performs as expected for a lower-tier IPS-type model. I recommend saving for the Sony X90J, X95J, Samsung QN90A, QN95A, LG B1 (or above) or look into Panasonic or Phillips offerings instead.īottom Line (Rtings): "The Sony X80J is an adequate entry-level TV. To non US/Canada users who get screwed hard by having no Vizio option or weaker TCL models and prices are overpriced even for entry level Samsungs & LG's I apologize.


To Canada Users: You no longer get Vizio & should ignore those models. The Sony X90J, X92J (If you got $20K), X95J, A80J, & A90J we can recommend. Why you shouldn't buy the 2021 Sony X80J or X85J
