Does it slow down over time?

How much storage this tv have?

Hi Steve, this was quite informative. Do you have any similar comparison review between the X80K and the newer X80L? Was thinking of buying the 80K model if not many changes are there.

I bought this model, last year. We really like it. Though we were using a 32 previously.(& a 24 before that) So going to a 65, was quite a eye opener. My only complaint is the screen is reflective, if you have a window that's showing on it.
I saved and researched for a long time. There were other models i considered. But either they were discontinued (& only a lesser model was available), or when i had saved enough, and went in to purchase it, the price had jumped several 100's of dollars.

Loving your straightforward reviews! Great catch on the software dates and features! Very interesting 🤔

Would you suggest Sony X80K or Samsung The Frame in 43" ?

X74 or X80 which one is better? [In 55 inches]

How to turn on led indicator light on this tv when is tv off?

I bought this TV today & getting It delivered tomorrow can't wait I'll finally have a TV after 3 months after my LG died I couldn't get the HD channels In my area with the 10 - year - old LG but this TV will solve that.

How can I do screen mirroring from my Samsung phone on this TV?

I was wondering about the input lag for this monitor. I'm considering using it as my PC monitor.

Hey tech steve , thank you for the review of that tv !!!! I have a maybe a more technical question . Is the 3.0 usb output strong enough to connect an external ssd or 2.5 hdd ( the hdd that doesnt require power supply , unlike 3.5 hdd ) . I'm planning on putting an external 4tb ssd samsung drive on the usb to access all my media file ( wmv , mp4 , mkv) . DO you know if it would work or if the USB is only strong enough for usb flash drive ( USB STICK ) . Because if it does , this tv will google tv ( android tv ) can replace my Nvidia shield i have right now .

@TechSteve - Do you have any experience with the 85" version of this TV? The Sony site says that the 85" has a native refresh rate of 120Hz instead of 60Hz. I'm curious to know your thoughts on it's performance relative to the X85K.

I received my second X80k has back light on top edge screen is that normal or can it be fixed the first one was just as bad ..thinking going back to Vizio which had no issue

hello sir, where to connect hdmi input 4k hdr sony x80k for ps5 ? in hdmi 1, 2, 3, 4?

How does this one go head to head with Rokus Newest Plus Series TV?

I have the 80k but for some reason its not bright enough even when i put it on vivid

I bought the 50” X80K specifically to test out ATSC 3.0 here in the Detroit area. It didn’t work out very well unfortunately. The X80K’s tuner struggled to maintain a consistent signal with the NextGen stations. I thought maybe there was an issue with that tower ( here in Detroit nbc,abc, cbs, fox & tv20 all broadcast their ATSC 3.0 signals from the same location/tower) but the X80K was struggling with the ATSC 1.0 signals as well. I thinks it is a great looking tv, it has excellent sound and I really did like how snappy Google TV ran on it, but at almost half the price my Series 4 TCL Roku TV has a much better over the air tuner, has a better electronic program guide and allows you to add a thumb drive to pause live TV. So I ended up returning the Sony. There is one thing about the electronic program guide on the Sony I found annoying, when you highlight a program and hit the select button on the remote it does not immediately tune to the channel, it takes you to a program information window, you then have to hit select again to tune to the channel. I was never able to figure out how to disable that. On a positive note, when I was able to lock in a ATSC 3.0 station, a picture of the directional pad would show up letting you know you can press one of the arrow buttons to get to the interactive menu. I did that a bunch of times and it was pretty cool. For instance: on say NBC, hit the arrow key and a whole menu pops up on the left side of the screen where you can browse categories for previously recorded news, weather and programming content. You select it and hit enter and it plays the content. When done, just hit the back button a couple times, the menu goes away and you are back in live TV. Something to look forward to for sure.

Steve which is the best model?
Sony LG sumsung ? Which seri?I confused😣

from the specs on Costco and best buy, they say the X80K is a 120 native refresh rate. edit... I am looking at the 85" apparently the other sizes are the 60hz.

I have this tv, in the corner of the screen there is a dark part, is that normal? please

Question? Why review the VA panel when majority of the range is IPS?

Hi tech Steve. . I really like the X80J model. With this model, do you lose the earphone out which is what I am afraid of. I have an old analog surround system. Also, Will it be similar to our just as good as the X80J? Thanks. I am having trouble finding a 65" X80J.

Thanks for the review - I've been trying to decide whether or not to get this TV, and I think you just decided it for me! Upgrading from a Samsung that's 5+ years old and already been repaired, so this will be quite a step up.
And great presentation/production too - first time I've seen your channel and really like it!

I have a question I recently bought the X80K 75inch but I do see backlight bleeding not heavy but it’s there at the top outline of the screen what should I do about this or what settings do I go to change this?

This video help me decide between the LG and this Sony needless to say I went with the Sony thanks for the video.

Greetings tech Steve, just bought this TV and overall we're loving it. Quite an upgrade from our previous 10 year old Samsung. That being said, Netflix, Disney +, and Prime all display in wide screen format with black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. We bought the 55" and it would be great to exploit all that new screen realestate. When I go into settings it says wide and zoom are not an option on this panel is there any work around that you know of? Thank you sir.

Ok you get me bro you have a sale! Haha you know there is no F@&# J-Series in my country I only see D & K series since yr 2016 so I don't know how good is J-Series,& now my 43X80D just died & don't want to be fixed bcuz I don't trust tv technicians here in my town haha so I'mma gonna buy X8OK or (X85K if available) haha thanks bro 😁 ✌️

Hello brother, I would like to know what improvements there have been with the x81 successor..

Hi I'm planning to buy this TV but I want to know if it's can be use on a 220volt current reading online not seen if it's can be use in 110v and 220

X80k now supports 4k 120hz. I don't know if they updated the tv or if it's only on certain sizes, (edit: it’s only the 85”) but I just bought the 85" x80k and it says it has 4k 120hz in the manual as well as labeled on hdmi 3 and 4 on the back of the tv. I tested it with a ps5 as well as laptop, and it works.

@Tech Steve Hello, at Sony Bravia KD-50X81J, when recording with a timer, recording with EPG, the TV open by itself when the recording starts. I know there is a setting for this, but I can't find it in Settings. If I set a timer for recording at 03.00 in the morning, when the recording starts, then the TV open with picture and sound. Please if you can help. Thank you in advance !

Please do a piece on the new sony remote

Can I use the voice command without the remote?

Worth buying? I saw it in store the display didn’t look as clear as the other tvs it’s the only reason why I didn’t buy it.

so clear. for someone just exploring tv today (unfortunately now that I need to get a new one), this is helpful

coming from a X690E with a dead ARC HDMI port. This worth it?

This tv is garbage. Doesn't connect to the internet even when it says it is and the colors are terrible. Contrast is way too high and lowering it will make everything dark or flat.

I'm returning this trash box

Well done. Thanks for the help. I wanted to buy the 65in. But I wanted to look it up before I did. Thanks to you I know I am getting a good tv for $700.

Hey Steve
Is it possible to upgrade the remote to a back lite Sony?

Hi Steve, greetings from Perú. Do ypu recommend to buy the 55" or 65" ips panel of this Sony. I have the 50" u6g hisense, i was thinking buying the u6h 65" but i saw in rtings that u6g has a better panel than u6h. Is it worth to buy this sony with ips . thanks men, your videos are the best, and sorry for my english xD.

really confused on this tv. Some sites have it as a 60hz refresh rate, others have it at 120hz. Can someone end the confusion. Wondering if it's different depending on screen size.

Why no one never mention the freaking viewing angles? this is critical when you purchase a tv in my opinion
