Sony Bravia 85-Inch X80CK 4K TV Install & Review

TV Overview & Key Features

Connectivity & Ports

Installation Process

  1. Install a full-motion wall mount to the wall.
  2. Attach the included mounting brackets to the back of the TV using the provided screws.
  3. Lift the TV onto the wall mount — this is a two-person job due to size and weight.
  4. Connect power, HDMI devices, and ethernet (optional).
  5. Complete the Google TV setup using either wired or wireless internet.

Picture & Audio Quality

The Sony X80CK impresses with vibrant colors, deep contrast, and exceptional brightness, particularly in vivid mode. Its built-in speakers offer surprisingly rich sound for a TV of this size, making it possible to enjoy movies and gaming without an external sound system.

Gaming Performance

The TV’s low latency, smooth motion handling, and automatic game mode switching make it an excellent partner for the PlayStation 5. The motion enhancement technology (MotionFlow XR960) delivers seamless gameplay, even in fast-action sequences.

Picture Modes

The Vivid mode combined with maximum brightness creates incredible color depth, though it may be too bright for some users.

Pricing & Value

We purchased this TV at Sam’s Club for $1,399 (sale price). As of April 8, 2024, the price was $1,599. Even at full price, it offers excellent value compared to OLED and QLED models.

Conclusion

The Sony Bravia X80CK 85-Inch 4K TV offers incredible performance for a budget-friendly price. With excellent picture quality, low latency gaming support, and surprising audio quality, it’s a perfect choice for anyone seeking a big-screen TV without breaking the bank.
