Kezo as I drove to Sheffield yesterday I realised the Sony 80K 50 inch is for me for the following reasons saw Tech Steve video against my beloved Qled 60B samsung the Sony blew it out of the water the picture was night and day ! Sony very good make and quality as you know I’ve always loved them parents had a triniton still going today ! The stand is adjustable 2 positions I love the youview Now that at Sevenoaks is a bargain be looking round I can get the 80k 50 inch around £600 with 5 year warranty ! I’m sorry but my lounge is very bright sun all day south facing till 7pm at night all summer I never shut the blinds love the sun so I’ve read an OLED isn’t for me
Sony is percieved to be better quality and you pay a premium for that. Can you get better sets for the same sort money yes.
I don’t know how you watch TV in the summer or when the sun is low with out been blinded if you keep the binds open. My room is brighter than yours all day and Oleds fine and I think Ive just read Wigwan just said his room is south facing.
In terms of brightness the X80J/K is on par with the LG A2 Oled. They both score just an average 6.8 for standard dynamic range (SDR) brightness and are fine with a little bit of light. The A80J/K However, it isn’t good for watching movies or for gaming in dark rooms because it has a low contrast ratio and lacks a local dimming feature. HDR performance is also below average and only slightly better than the LG A2, although the A2 makes up fr it with its local dimming and contrast levels making for a better overall picture. HDR for reasons Ive said before is never brilliant on mainstream entry level sets.
SDR Brightness – most of what your be watching.
Real Scene Peak Brightness: A80k 302 cd/m² (nits) LG A2 309 cd/m² (nits)
Peak brigtness 50% Window: A80k 288 cd/m² (nits) LG A2 307 cd/m² (nits)
Peak brightness 100% Window: A80k 155 cd/m2 (nits) LG A2 168 cd/m2 (nits)
Sustained brightness 50% Window: A80k 284 cd/m2 (nits) LG A2 294 cd/m2 (nits)
Sustained brightness 1000% Window: A80k 152 cd/m2 (nits) LG A2 160 cd/m2 (nits)
There are 2%, 10% and 25% windows where similar results are seen but the A80k slightly pips the A2. However the main overall points are seen above.
In HDR the A80K just pips it with an average overall score of 7.4 against 6.9 for the LG. Howerver the overall picture quality is crisper and above all superior on the LG.
Pre calibration ~(quality of the picture) out of the box the LG beats it hand down with an overall score of 9.5, calibrated they are the same
Neither the A80K or A2 are perfect at low content smoothing as they don’t have the processors of higher end models.
Both handle reflections at above average.
As you can hopefully see on your device and from the pictures with 1080p they are as bright as each other with better highlights and contrast on the A2 especially when looking at the picture as a whole or at the buildings in the background. Darker scenes will be night and day against each other
LG A2
Sony A80k
Overall apart from better overall contrast on the A2 there is little difference in brightness. However if you are now saying you are watching TV with the blinds open in summer I can catagoricaly say neither of these will be brigt enough again’st the glare from the sun!
The Hisense A85h @wigwam has is much brighter than these and on par with the LG C2 at over 800 nits in some windows. Likewise you will have to go up a level if you prefer LCD or even better mini LED or an Oled with an EX panel.
Don’t believe everything you here about OLED times have moved on.
