Best praise vs top criticism for Sony A80L
Best Praise
+3 pts“I’d go with Sony A80L. A couple years ago I got an A80J in 65” for my casual living room viewing and I still get amazed by the picture quality, the black levels and color range. My theater room is a Benq 4k PJ on a 120” screen and aside from the size (and sound) the Sony looks much better.”

+3 pts“My experience is that the ARC / eARC spec is garbage. In two different Sony TVS controlling the volume to the AVR via the remote is very laggy. A basic volume up /down command is just too much to handle I guess. Additionally I ran into all kinds of problems routing DTS and ATMOS audio from the TV through eARC. To be clear I was using a modern TV, a Sony A80L with a Sony 4k player to a Sony STR-AN1000 AVR. It would revert to 2 channel PCM most of the time. So I finally moved it to the AVR HDMI connection and that solved the audio issues. At first I could no longer control the player with my TV remote, but then one day it just worked. I will also add in this case the player has a seperate HDMI audio out, which I would have utilized if I continued to have issues. I can't understand why eARC is so hard to implement, but it's pretty bad.”
