All TVs from the 80 series from Sony are equipped with high-quality LCD displays with a fixed 4K resolution, a large selection of diagonals, full support for HDR10/Dolby Vision video formats, the ability to broadcast images from mobile gadgets and advanced voice control. Thanks to its affordable price and modern hardware platform, a typical representative of this series will equally successfully play the role of a screen in a home theater or a TV for games.


The brain in the Sony X80 TV panels is the Sony X1 processor, well known to fans of the brand. It is equipped with several proprietary algorithms for leveling and optimizing color display, can scale the original resolution of videos to 4K, and also has a trick called MotionFlow. Using several algorithms, this feature compares key image components in successive frames, then calculates the missing motion phases and completes the necessary frames, thereby increasing the clarity and smoothness of moving objects.

The X80 line is very diverse, so you can easily find both a relatively small 43-inch TV and a monstrous 85-inch panel on sale. All of them are equipped with a pair of not the most powerful stereo speakers with support for virtual sound (Dolby Atmos/DTS). Mandatory program items include support for AirPlay/Miracast/Chromecast, a remote control with a separate button for calling a voice assistant, and a large number of ports, including USB, LAN and HDMI 2.1. The latter fact will certainly appeal to owners of the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles, which will be able to transmit video signals in the “4K + 120 Hz + HDR” mode with support for VRR technology.
