Our Verdict
Sony A80J OLED
Sony A95K OLED
The Sony A95K OLED is a much better TV than the Sony A80J OLED. The A95K uses QD-OLED technology, which is a type of OLED panel that allows it to display more colors and get brighter than traditional WOLED panels, so it's much better for watching HDR content. However, the A80J performs better in well-lit rooms because the black levels raise and become purple-tinged on the A95K when there's any ambient light.
