Myself and my parents had never owned a Sony TV cause they seem to have fixed lifespan (great engineering 🤣). However my first one was a 65” A80J and I got hooked up, second is a 77” A80K. Both being used and love the PQ.

Most of the PS5 die hard fan always love to promo Sony TV
Die Die will say Sony TV perfect

It's quality is good but there are still some cons
1) Dolby Vision cannot co-exist with VRR (well, PS5 also dun have DV not like Xbox)
2) lack of full hdmi 2.1 port (only 2 is sufficient if only 1x PS5 console at home)

I bought the extended warranty coz when mine arrived, an hour later got 1 line from top to bottom in the middle of the screen. Crazy frustrated have to redeem warranty so soon. Then I heard Sony TV nowadays may die sooner than supposed to. Also coz the last Sony TV I had was from 2008, an LCD TV (with Bravia engine 2 which sucks btw) which until today somehow still working perfectly. So yeah, haven't experienced a more recent Sony TV so I better get the 5 years warranty for peace of mind.

wow, that’s crazy bad 😱

well, i bought the extended warranty bcoz of there’s a sign 🪧 (at least to me it was like a guide). My water heater died just as I was looking to buy this tv. then I check the invoice just to see the warranty, and it showed I took extended warranty for it (5years) and it died two months from end of warranty ! call the shop, they sent a technician and verified the problem, repaired it under warranty. wasn’t expecting failure from water heater as the other one (same brand) lasted way longer. around 10 i think and still working great.

So, that’s my reason for taking the extra warranty. At least for peace of mind. But the price really high 😑

So far I think if buying extended 5 year warranty, best to get from Sony Malaysia. Their extension cheaper than the rest. I have from Senheng and Desa Home, both are significantly pricier than Sony's.

Replaced panel, service guy said first time he replace for A80K 😆

Sharpen your eyes and check every edge & corner on new panel

Don't want to look so closely... else later emo again hahaha! But... the one had issue was super duper obvious.. it is not by pixel lol. It was by a bunch of pixels.

lol lol.. once replace, the warranty still on-going ?

Haha, I know that feeling. I got my Sony X90K panel replaced due to dirt on the screen. Very emo and stress during that period.

I assume so? This is not windscreen insurance ah...

visible dust in the panel?

Once you see it cannot be unseen.

Gg ..

Will fade away (your mind) after certain period of time.

Luckily, Sony replaced a new one for me.

I just realized that A80J and A80K has different playback capability...

There are Plex files that I could stream off the A80K but it simply can't be played on the A80J... weird. I thought it was the same chipset.

What's the error?

"File can't be played"

But the same one can be played from the A80K via Plex app.

Good bye X70, X80, X90, A80, A90 series.... welcome Bravia 3 , 7, 8, 9

Sony is going all out in the premium space. Bravia 3 is replacing the X70 - X80 series with X1 processor and NO local dimming. Bravia 7 replaces X90 series with miniLED and XR processor. Bravia 8 replaces A80 as entry level OLED. Bravia 9.... flagship miniLED (not sure if can be called the replacement to A90 series)

Quite impressive lineup for this year. Bravia 9 is apparently using the same backlight control tech utilized on the BVM HX3110, I am sure the price will be exp for this model…

Now if only Bravia 7 price is right, might be one of the bestseller…😂
