For that reason, many will find the TV’s slightly brighter and more vibrant Standard picture mode to be preferable. While accuracy stipulates a TV must have a relatively warm color temperature to best represent creator intent, many viewers tend to be partial to a cooler color temperature setting. Of course, accuracy isn’t necessarily what everyone is looking for. Choose the Cinema or Custom preset picture settings options and viewers need to do little else to ensure they are getting the best picture quality possible. One of the most remarkable things about the Sony A80J is its out-of-box picture accuracy. It’s a smart look, but keep in mind the feet do extend toward the edge of the TV in either configuration, making for a wide stance that requires an equally wide media stand.

One position slings the TV low toward its supporting media stand or credenza, the other raises the lower border of the TV up a bit to accommodate a soundbar without the screen getting blocked. There are two positions in which the metal feet can be oriented. The remote included with the TV is standard Sony fare - no backlight, sorry - but it gets the job done.

With razor-thin metallic black bezels and sturdy metal feet, the A80J OLED TV exudes a business-class aesthetic - neither overly flashy nor the least bit drab or dull.

Fortunately, Sony’s approach to OLED TV design is decidedly much higher-class. OLED TV panels are so thin and striking that a five-year-old kid could frame one in PlayDough and it would still look like a work of art.
