Sony X80J 75" 4K UHD HDR LED Smart Google TV (KD75X80J) - 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Owning many Sony products in the past, I knew this would be a great TV, the best part is that it has screen mirroring and Google TV built in, with many apps like HULU, Disney, Netflix, YouTube and etc... The remote control is easy to use and has a voice feature to ask google any question or launch apps. Screen is very bright and has excellent 4K picture quality. The TV was ready to use right out of the box, easy as just putting in the legs and power cord and turn it on. I highly recommend this TV if your in the market for a new one.

Very pleased with my experience with the new TV. Exactly what I’ve come to expect from Sony.

Well, if you are in the market for a new TV, you’d better buckle up! Our 60” 7 yr. old Samsung started with an issue of a dark line across the screen (see 1st pic), so I started researching the myriad of televisions made. Also, tv repair guy told me “don’t expect to get more than 5-7 yrs. out of these new TV’s”. WHAT? At these prices, that’s all you get?!?! I checked out Best Buy and bought a 70” TLC, online with curbside pickup. Went last Sunday and picked it up, brought it home, had Jules Ann help me unbox it, put the brackets on the back, hooked everything up, hung it on the wall and NO PICTURE!! Just hard lines!! See 2nd pic!! Called Best Buy, and was told to bring it back for another or exchange/upgrade. Took back, was greeted by their front door guy, who was awesome! He put me in contact with a guy from the TV department and “Shawn” explained about 600 TV’s in great detail! There are SO many choices and SO many prices, my head was spinning! He really did a great job with listening to my budget and telling me about all the options. He said 70” TV’s are most companies low end options and really recommend coming up to 75” or going down to 65”. I opted to go BIGGER with a 75” Sony. Also, best to stay “name brand” when choosing a new TV. So, that $500 TLC quickly went to a $999 Sony and I opted for the 5 yr. protection plan, even though I know it will break on the 5 yr. 1 week mark!! Anyway, $1,200 and 24 months 0% interest to pay it off and it is GREAT!! Now, if you go for it, you will find 4K is the “big deal” now. And, after I got it, delivered this time, and Julie and I once again, hooked it up and hung it on the wall, the picture was good, but not “awesome”. So, I looked into this whole 4K thing and found we weren’t even recieving a 4K signal. I called Xfinity and was told “Oh yes Mr. Jeff, we will have to send you out a box for that. And, Mr. Jeff you will be happy to know this is a FREE box and comes with Peacock, a $4.99 a month value, also FREE.” Now, he must have dealt with me in the past, because I do like FREE, but I felt it necessary to remind him that “we pay $300 a month for cable, internet and landlines” (yes, with my Mother here, we have landlines), he quickly told me “Yes, Mr. Jeff, I see you have been a very loyal customer and I will credit your account the $15 for shipping the new 4K box out to you.” I said “Thanks, but I was really hoping to get this before the Super Bowl, since we are having a small gathering.” He said he would “get a rush on it” and darn if it did show up today!! I have hooked up this new 4K box, to the new 4K TV and WOW, it is INCREDIBLE!!! Basketball, Golf and the Olympics all look outstanding!! I’m sure football will be the same!! Movies are also looking GREAT!! I mean, who doesn’t like a BIGGER TV?!? I would definitely recommend Best Buy and I used the one in Ownings Mills, Maryland. Ask for Shawn, he knows his TV’s.

Wife wasn't happy to discover upon arrival iPlayer is not included so uses the TV in another room for that. 3 weeks after delivery I'm still trying to work out all the different controls regarding when and when not to use Google TV. Control buttons seem to do different things depending on any other buttons you might have pressed. Being partially deaf, I'm very pleased with the sound but NOT when the volume suddenly goes at full blast unexpectedly! I was very glad to find the TV fitted onto the movable wall-bracket our old TV was on, so we're still able to spin the thing around depending on where we happen to be sitting at the time (see photos). I'm sure I'll get used to the TV someday but it's so much easier to operate my computer that I tend to use THAT more when I'm on my own.

WOW. I have never been able to afford anything like this before, and now that I worked so hard to have it I literally see exquisite detail and it blows my mind. Especially on y Xbox Series S in 4K. People and their skills continue to amaze me, thank you.
