Does what it should!
on April 12, 2023
Posted by: Kenji
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had an LG for quite some time and then the display went dim on one side so I couldn't see anything. I bought a different brand and it did not defrost well at all so I exchanged it thinking maybe it was that model. The replacement not only did not defrost well but it overcooked things and made containers I used in microwaves with no problem very very hot. So, I figured I should go back to an LG which defrosted and auto cooked beautifully. This one does just that. It functions the way a microwave should and I am very happy.

Better value than some smartwatches at a much better price. I didn't get even 1 day before my battery would go dead in my samsung smartwatch. I could not make full use of all the features. I finally just gave up and the charge does all I want it to for much less money and much much longer battery life. And lastly it is a better size for me.

Very comfortable mouse to use. I wasn't sure how it would work out but it is great. I do miss the horizontal scroll but I don't know if it will be a dealbreaker for me. The other thing I am not sure about is the fact that it is not rechargeable. It depends on how long the batteries last I guess.

Excellent Refined Version of the Basilisk Design
on August 26, 2022
Posted by: Kenji
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this to replace an older Basilisk that stopped charging, compared to the older one the new mouse feels a lot more substantial and high quality, not heavy just much better feeling materials all around. The updated optical switches have a much more "sure" action to them and the wheel feels significantly better than the older Basilisk. The updated mouse dock and wireless charging (which is Qi compatible) is also way better than the older pin dock design that needed constant cleaning to work correctly. I'm not sure if it's the new feet, new sensor or what but this one tracks a lot more accurately and smoothly than the old one on top of it. Highly recommended.

Quiet Linear Mechanical Goodness

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace an older Huntsman Elite with the clicky optical switches.
Compared to that and the BlackWidow 65% I have this thing is absolutely silent, excellent if people in your living situation do not appreciate the sound of mechanical switches.
The lighting looks excellent and the new double shot keycaps feel great to type on, the updated wrist rest is more comfortable than the older one, although you give up the underlighting that the old Huntsman had, not a big deal for most folks but figured I'd mention it

We love this dishwasher! I can not believe how many dishes we can load in this. We can finally clean up the kitchen without having to do 2 loads! I have no idea why some people say it is loud unless it isn't installed properly or something. This is a very quiet dishwasher. And if that isn't enough it cleans the dishes very well.

Sony at the top of their game
on May 27, 2022
Posted by: Kenji
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought mine to upgrade from a older LG OLED and all I can say is wow what an improvement.
To start off, the 77 inch version of the A80j uses the same Evo panel as the G1 and C2 along with Sony's best processing, which means the 77 inch version is a bit better than the 55 or 65 that's typical reviewed or compared on most sites. What does this mean? It's noticeably brighter than most other OLEDs with only the A90, G2 or S95 being brighter. Highlights and white text especially have more noticeable punch behind them than on a non-Evo panel OLED.
Colors on the Sony are way more accurate than my old LG, especially noticeable in skin tones where subtle things like Aloy's rosy cheeks are rosy without overaaturating and making her appear sunburned. Explosions have significantly more meat to them without colors desaturating as badly as my old OLED and are a real spectacle. Watching Last Jedi and things like the throne room duel have such deep lovely red, the brightness of lightsabers clashing is wonderful and Phasma's armor is blindingly bright (in a completely dark room of course). Moon Knight had absolutely stunning visuals on it as well.
Of course it goes beyond color, the Sony also has excellent shadow detail and is less likely to crush shadow detail to black the way my old LG did. So subtle dark scenes have more detail, especially evident in the night scenes in Moon Knight where there's very little light going on or The Greatest Showman's opening act with detail being visible in the shadows.
Motion handling is one of Sony's strongest areas, with panning shots being noticeably smoother without artificial smoothness (soap opera effect).
The reality creation engine does an excellent job handling older sources, episodes of Star Trek Voyager up converted quite nicely. It's not a miracle worker but it's still better than my old LG. In fact just about everything from 4k disc's to streaming looks noticeable crisper and sharper than my old TV.
Gaming is an area a lot of reviews knock this TV on, but honestly it does great for most people gaming on it. I have both a gaming PC with RTX 3080 and a PS5 attached to it. I finished up Horizon Forbidden West on it and was stunned at how much better it looked, large vista's of bright snow or desert look way more impactful and highlights stand out from them more than on my older C8. Adaptive sync works perfectly on both my ps5 and my pc on top of it which is awesome.
If you're going for a TV like this I think you probably should invest in a soundbar or speakers, but that said while setting it up I did use it's built in "acoustic surface" sound while getting my speakers hooked back up and was rather impressed. It definitely sounded better than the built in speakers on my LG or most other tvs I've heard
The software is very smooth and easy to use. If youve used an android phone you'll be right at home
Overall I highly recommend the TV. Everything I've watched on it has looked stunning and I've had no issues with it.

Wouldnt purchase again
By Danielle
I cant say I would purchase this stove again. Its a BEAUTIFUL stove and I mainly got it because I wanted the air fryer option and black stainless. Well the air fryer doesnt work as good as a small counter top air fryer would and the stove is peeling just above the knobs. Im most upset about the stove peeling and of course it happens when my warranty ran out, go figure.

Local dimming bug breaks the tv
By Jeffonion
The local dimming is broken because of the software bug. Every time you turn off the tv and turn back one after a couple mins, the peaking brightness can only reach maybe half the actual brightness . Only a hold the power button to do a low cycle will temporarily solve it until you turn it on next time . Google it have there any many same report on this . Be ware

How can you tell from the box if the 77" Class BRAVIA XR A80J Series OLED 4K UHD has the new EVO OLED screens installed? I have heard they are made in Mexico. Does the carton have the manufacturing country on it?

All 77" A80js have the EVO panel, technically LG didn't make a 77" non-evo panel they just software lock the C1. Sony doesn't have that issue (as they didn't make a 77" A90j) and so the 77" gets to use the full power of the EVO panel.

If you have a tv that is dolby vision capable then I say yes. In addition to that, I have found that the new Ultra is quicker than the older model.

Does this player switch automatically to Dolby Vision when a movie contains that format? Or do you have manually switch to that like the Sony 700?

100 percent automically switches to dolby vision when available and enabled (you have to update the player and then tell the player your tv can accept dolby vision) and then it automatically goes to DV when available on disc

Does anyone know if this player outputs a 5.1 signal from Netflix and Amazon Prime through the HDMI audio output? Thank you.

It appears it will HOWEVER the app experience is EXTREMELY slow, Netflix took forever to load and I gave up waiting TBH. If you're looking at dropping 500 on a blu ray then you should seriously consider dropping the money on a roku or using built in TV applications if you have a newer TV (ie the newer lgs and sonys, no experience with current Samsung) as the experience is better. It's a great blu ray player and it's just very focused on being just that, a great blu ray player.

Also for some reason the Netflix app defaulted to constant dolby vision output for the menus and etc, I've never seen this behavior as every other device I've used it sticks to an sdr signal in the menus.
