So, while the performance for colour accuracy may not be as good as the X90J out of the box, the panel performance is quite good for everyday content consumption. However, the colour analysis shows an average delta error of 1.8 which is good. Even with the 2-point grayscale, the error was high out of the box.

The panel can produce some really good colours thanks to the Triluminos Pro display, but how does it fare against the Sony X90J ( review) with the XR processor we reviewed earlier and more importantly, against something like the Mi QLED TV 75 ( review), which for a similar price, gives you a larger screen size with QLED backlighting with local dimming?įiring up our Calman we can see that without calibration, the TV has an average delta error of 6.4 which is lower than what we’ve seen on some other TV, but higher than what we saw on the Sony X90J. It has a 4K resolution with support for HDR 10 and Dolby Vision. The TV can hit a peak brightness of a little over 400 nits but it hovers around the 350 nits mark for sustained use. The viewing angles are good unless you go to the absolute extreme. It has an IPS panel which means you get wide viewing angles at the cost of deep blacks (more on that in a bit). Let's kick things off with the performance of the panel of the TV. Speakers: 20W (Bass Reflex Speaker, X-Balanced Speaker) Panel Size: 65-inch (also available in 43, 50, 55, and 75-inch as well) Is it a worthy consideration for the asking price? Sony X80J Specs at a glance It has Sony’s 4K HDR X1 picture processor (not the X1 Extreme powering 2020 flagships), comes with Sony’s Triluminos Pro display and also rocks the all-new Google TV UI. Ranging from 43-inch all the way up to 75-inches we have the Sony X80J. But the brand also has other options for you to consider in their 2021 lineup. Sony’s 2020 flagship TVs may be dominated by the XR processor along with HDMI 2.1 and more bells and whistles. While the X80J has better colours than the Mi QLED TV, the Mi TVs local dimming is its strength for darkroom content consumption. On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Mi QLED TV 75 which, for a similar price as the 65X80J, gives you QLED backlighting and local dimming along with a larger screen size. So, you are getting newer technology and better performance at the cost of screen size with the X90J. That’s similarly priced to the Sony 55-inch X90J which has better picture performance, local dimming and Sony’s new XR processor. As of writing this review, the 65-inch variant is priced at Rs 1,34,990. While we tested the 65-inch variant of this TV, know that it is available in screen sizes from 43-inches up to 75-inches. It does not have local dimming which affects its performance in a dark room, but a little bias lighting helps. In real work use, the TV performs very well, giving good colour reproductions and an immersive experience. The panel has very good performance for content consumption in HDR and SDR like movies and TV shows and is also good for gaming. Should you buy the Sony X80J? Well, it all depends on what you are looking for.
