Sony OLED - Owners Thead

[Infiniteey]

Hello all,

Just thought I'd start this thread to bring together all owners of Sony OLED TV. There are many LG threads but a distinct lack of Sony..

I've ordered a Sony KE65A8 (H) won't be able to use it until the end of the month but I'm very excited. This will be the first TV I've owned so I've done my research and believe this is the right TV for me and my usage.

Anyway it will be interesting to hear other members thoughts and experiences of their Sony OLEDs good or bad, especially long term owners with regards to things like reliability and burn in.

Hi Infiniteey,

Owner of an A855 set since November 2019.
Cant fault the TV. I have an amp and speakers for the sound and use my Xbox for light gaming and netflix and prime so my TV is just used for the picture.
No issues with burn in at all.
At the time of purchase it was cheaper than the LG Oled and I was struggling to choose between them.
Glad I went with the Sony.

Good to hear. I too was also considering the LG but I think I just a preference for Sony TVs from my fond childhood memories of Sony Trinitron CRT
Sounds like I will have similar usage to yourself.

Would you have any experience of watching 720p content from the web, does it upscale well?

Why didn't you buy the new sony A90J or even the A80J ?

I would have loved to get a brand new A90J but too pricey for me. 65 is £3500!!
As for the A80J (£2700), reviews say there is very little difference in performance from the A8H. The main differences are that the new A80J has 2.1 HDMI with VRR (I don't need, I have a Switch lol), Google TV instead of Android TV, and a new remote (I would have quite liked). https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/com...a80j-oled/12801/21563?usage=11&threshold=0.10

Besides I managed to get a good deal for the 65A8H. Argos was selling it with a free HT-G700 sound bar, and my flat mate works for Sainsbury's so she gets a 10% discount, brought the price down to £1710.
