The Sony A80J delivers outstanding images, and Sony's Cognitive Processor XR chip perceives and enhances images with a more human perspective, providing a more realistic and vivid picture. Like other OLED TVs, it has a perfect contrast ratio, rendering crisp deep blacks in dark scenes and no halos around bright objects. It can provide a very good experience for movie lovers while offering a wide viewing angle.

Its brightness is OK, but being an OLED panel, it has limited peak brightness. The TV's automatic brightness limiter will reduce brightness in large bright scenes, which can sometimes distract you. It also works well in rooms with ambient light, but it's not bright enough to resist glare in very bright rooms.

The A80J has a good viewing angle and can maintain accurate images even when viewed from the side.
