Our Verdict

Sony A80J OLED

Sony X80J

The Sony A80J OLED is better than the Sony X80J. If you often watch content in a dark room, the A80J is a much better choice as its OLED panel delivers deeper blacks. It also gets brighter in HDR, so highlights pop more than the X80J. The X80J lacks modern gaming features, while the A80J has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, 4k @ 120Hz, and VRR, so it's a much better choice for gaming.
