Our Verdict

Sony A90J OLED

Sony A80L/A80CL OLED

The Sony A90J OLED and Sony A80L/A80CL OLED are extremely similar, with almost nothing to differentiate them. The biggest difference is the A90J's better pre-calibration accuracy, but it's close and could be due to panel variance. Otherwise, the A90J is a bit brighter in HDR, while the A90L is a bit brighter in SDR, but you won't notice it in practice.
