We tested the 55 inch Sony X80J (KD-55X80J), which is also available in 43, 50, 65, and 75 inch sizes. For the most part, we expect our results to be valid for those sizes, except for the 50 inch, which uses a different panel. There are also variants of the 55, 65, and 75 inch models with the model code X80CJ. That version appears to be the Costco and Sam's Club model, which should perform the same, except it comes with Sony's new Bravia CORE streaming service, which can stream movies at up to 80 Mbps, according to Sony. In Europe, you'll see the X80J sold alongside the X81J, but as far as we know, the two have the same specs. In Italy, it's called the X80JP. Size Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for two months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10.

These measurements were taken using the 'Cinema' Picture Mode with Brightness set to max and Color Temperature set to 'Expert 2'. To get a capable Sony TV below 50 inches this year, you can opt for the A9S, which is still on sale and will offer a step up in picture quality over the average LCD. Otherwise, though, Sony's LCDs will offer far more flexibility in the lower end of screen sizes. Percentage Luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white output We tried to reproduce a frame skipping bug that some users have reported when watching 23.976fps content.

Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image.

Updated to Test Bench 1.7 with an updated HDR Brightness test that better reflects real world usage. We've also split the console compatibility boxes into separate PS5 Compatibility and Xbox Series X|S Compatibility tests. You can see our full changelog here. We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test.

Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. If you come across a Sony X80J with a different panel type or that doesn't correspond to our review, let us know in the discussions, and we'll update the review. Some tests, like gray uniformity, can vary between individual units. Percentage luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output

We tested the 55 inch Sony X85JTV (XB55X85J), and it's also available in a 43inch, 50 inch, 65 inch, 75 inch, and 85inch size. We expect our results to be valid for the other sizes as well, but we've seen some reports that the 43 inch model has an IPS-type panel in some regions, so we expect those variants tohave worse contrast but better viewing angles. As Sony doesn't provide any panel information, if you have any information on the panel types for the other sizes, let us know in the discussions below. The VRR support works without issue on the Xbox Series X and reduces screen tearing. Sadly, it doesn't support FreeSync at all, as there's screen tearing with the AMD RX 580 and RX 6600 XT graphics cards, and because the Xbox Series X supports both HDMI Forum VRR and FreeSync, it's confirmed that it has native HDMI Forum VRR support.
