0.56 -> [Music]
3.28 -> on this video i'm going to show you guys
4.799 -> everything you need to know about the
6.24 -> new sony x80k now i'll tell you this
9.2 -> part of the 2022 lineup and if you was
11.679 -> wondering i haven't seen any huge
13.679 -> differences between the j series from
15.759 -> last year excel for remote control and
18.08 -> some new features for the ps5 so in this
20.48 -> video we're going to go over the design
22.32 -> we're going to talk about the different
23.76 -> inputs i'm going to show you guys some
25.439 -> picture tests and do a little gaming i'm
27.599 -> tech steve sit back and relax and let's
30.16 -> get started instead of redesigning the
32.32 -> x80k they used the chassis from the x85j
35.76 -> from last year as you notice on the
37.68 -> bottom where the sony logo is it does
39.68 -> have the slot that wasn't available on
41.92 -> the last year adj models the screen
44.16 -> isn't housed in a black chassis that
46.239 -> goes all the way around and it looks
47.68 -> really premium from the front to put it
49.44 -> together it's very easy there's no tools
51.44 -> needed for the snap-in feet and taking a
53.44 -> look at it from the side view you're
54.879 -> going to notice that it is a lot thicker
56.559 -> because it does have what they call
58.64 -> direct back lights now i don't know the
60.8 -> reasoning why but when it comes to the
62.64 -> display this one is available from 43
65.199 -> inch all the way up to 75 inches the 50
67.92 -> inch is a v8 panel however the 43 55 65
72 -> and 75 or all ips panels and just in
75.2 -> case you don't know the differences is
76.96 -> that the ips is generally going to give
78.72 -> you better colors as well as better
80.72 -> viewing angles where the va is going to
82.159 -> give you better dark levels what they
84.08 -> call contrast and this is a 60 hertz
86.96 -> panel so it will play playstation xbox
89.759 -> no problem it's going to run very smooth
92.159 -> in fact there's not many games that can
93.84 -> actually play at 120 hertz however if
96.799 -> you really want to press this tv you can
98.96 -> get 120 hertz out of it but you're going
101.439 -> to drop the resolution down to 1080p
103.759 -> when it comes to the motion rate to
105.36 -> smooth out movies or anything to spend
107.52 -> 24 frames per second it doesn't really
110.079 -> do that greater job and mainly because
112.399 -> they call it motion 240 but in actuality
115.52 -> it's only running at 60 hertz so it's
117.52 -> not going to be as clean as you can see
119.52 -> on other televisions just like the x80j
122.24 -> from last year the x80k still has the
124.96 -> same type of setup when it comes to
127.04 -> dimming it does not support local
128.959 -> dimming they use a technology called
130.879 -> frame dimming additional to that when it
133.28 -> comes to backlight it uses direct back
135.28 -> lights and that causes the tv to be a
137.44 -> lot thicker because all the backlights
139.68 -> go all across the panel now it doesn't
141.84 -> look like they updated the processor in
143.76 -> it so this tv uses the x1 processor
146.8 -> along with trilumions pro technology to
149.44 -> give you better enhanced colors another
151.76 -> thing i want to add is that the picture
153.36 -> profiles in his tvs includes hdr 10 hlg
157.68 -> adobe vision and it also has object
160.879 -> based hdr that tracks the images on the
163.519 -> screen and some people call this sony
165.68 -> picture science this tv just like the
167.92 -> previous models has 4k reality pro which
170.8 -> up converts hd or 2k content to look
174.319 -> more like 4k and i will tell you in my
176.879 -> experience if the content looks really
178.879 -> good in the 1080p or 2k it's going to
181.68 -> look great on his television however if
184.08 -> you have old choppy footage it's gonna
186.4 -> look bad on his television because most
188.56 -> of the newer television that supports 4k
191.04 -> has more lines of resolution so they do
193.84 -> like better signals to get the best
195.76 -> performance out of him now keep this in
197.84 -> mind this is a recording so these tests
200.72 -> could vary according to what you see in
202.56 -> real time but i will let you guys know
205.12 -> that this va panel performs pretty good
207.92 -> considering that it is one of the
209.84 -> entry-level sony tvs i also took a look
212.319 -> at the uniformity and i didn't see too
214.319 -> much of your netting in the corner in
216.319 -> addition to that you can see this
218 -> contrast test really shows the levels
220.319 -> from the black levels to the white and
222.48 -> everything seems to be pretty good again
225.68 -> considering the price point another
227.12 -> thing i took a look at was blooming in
228.799 -> the television and you can see that it
230.799 -> did a really good job if you notice that
232.959 -> there's not much halo come around the
234.879 -> images and ghosting seems to be clean as
237.519 -> well being that it's a va panel i didn't
239.76 -> really know what to expect until i did
241.439 -> some tests here and i noticed that when
244.08 -> i started getting a little bit to the
245.36 -> side that everything started to fade
247.36 -> just a little bit so if you get a va
249.84 -> panel like this sony x80k
252.4 -> sitting in front of it's going to be the
253.599 -> sweet spot but if you have a chair on
255.599 -> either side i think you'll be fine
257.84 -> because it's not that bad what happens
260.32 -> is you lose a lot of details in the
262.56 -> colors is basically how the viewing
264.96 -> angles work on most va panels now what
267.36 -> i'm going to do is show you guys a quick
268.639 -> demo of some footage that i took just so
271.36 -> you guys can see the picture quality and
273.28 -> then we have some more things to go over
276.91 -> [Music]
288.24 -> so as you can see this sony really
289.919 -> performs but i will tell you if you get
292.16 -> the ips panel the colors are going to be
294.479 -> more richer
295.68 -> than this particular tv it's a little
297.36 -> bit flat in compared to the ips even
299.919 -> though i know a lot of people don't
301.68 -> prefer the ips on the rear panel you're
304.4 -> going to find this checkerboard design
306.4 -> that has vents on the top as well as the
309.039 -> center on the side you're going to find
311.039 -> your power supply and you're going to
312.88 -> find four screw holes that you can use
315.28 -> to mount it on the wall and here's the
317.68 -> screw hole patterns for all the
319.12 -> different sizes that are available for
320.96 -> this model and when it comes to the sony
322.88 -> tv it does require these little screws
325.44 -> like this that you have to put in there
327.919 -> before you can put the mounting bracket
329.84 -> on the television bar's connectivity has
332.479 -> two usbs and one of them is a usb 3.0
336 -> has a fiber optic output it also has a
338.639 -> composite video input that requires a 10
341.44 -> adapter and you'll find four hdmi inputs
345.44 -> now all these inputs are 60 hertz and
348.24 -> input 3 is for each arc so you can hook
350.8 -> up a sound bar and control it additional
353.36 -> to that you have a lan connection for
355.28 -> connecting direct to your router it has
357.12 -> a
357.72 -> rs232c port for service guys and it has
361.039 -> ir input so you can control the
362.88 -> television with other devices and you'll
365.28 -> find a atsc 3.0 tuner that's going to
368.08 -> allow you to get over-the-air 4k content
370.72 -> when it's available in your area through
373.28 -> next-gen technology it also has wi-fi
376.08 -> 2.4 and 5 gigahertz and a feature called
379.28 -> wi-fi direct so if you want to connect
381.6 -> your phone directly to the television
383.759 -> without the need for wi-fi it only
385.68 -> supports 2.4 gigahertz now when it comes
388.479 -> to bluetooth this model will let you add
391.039 -> your own headphones also you can hook up
393.759 -> gamepad so you can use some of the
395.44 -> application to play game zone and you
398 -> can also use that for keyboard mouse as
400.8 -> well as anything that works off of
402.479 -> bluetooth now let's talk about gaming
404.72 -> modes first of all if you're going to
406.24 -> use 1080p you can go all the way up to
408.919 -> 120hz but keep in mind this is a 60hz
412.08 -> panel and that's going to smooth out
413.68 -> your games it also supports 440p and 4k
417.12 -> at 60hz
418.4 -> after doing my input lag testing i was
420.479 -> able to get 11.1 milliseconds and it
423.68 -> does have auto low latency but it does
426.72 -> not support vrr
428.96 -> and if you own the ps5 it's going to
430.8 -> give you auto hdr tone mapping and auto
433.919 -> genre picture mode and this tone mapping
436.24 -> feature is great to give you the best
438 -> picture quality but isn't really new
440.56 -> because of this i was looking at the
442.88 -> x80j which is last year model on the
445.599 -> website and they don't mention tone
447.68 -> mapping but when i was filming some
450.639 -> b-roll for a upcoming video i did notice
454.319 -> this
455.12 -> if you look at the x-80k the software
457.759 -> was developed in october of 2021
462.24 -> and the x80j software was developed in
465.28 -> november 2021 a month later so does that
468.879 -> mean that the x80j has these features
471.84 -> but they never told us about it
476.55 -> [Music]
488.23 -> [Applause]
491.44 -> if you own a sony television you might
493.599 -> be used to this this is the huge remote
496.319 -> control that came out years ago but on
498.8 -> this new x80k they changed the remote
501.039 -> control to this
503.36 -> it's a much smaller slimmer design and i
506 -> really like it a lot because a lot of
507.68 -> people really didn't use those numbers
509.36 -> because most people use apps or a
512.32 -> top set box from your cable or directv
515.279 -> provider and i will tell you this remote
517.039 -> control has all the essentials that you
518.719 -> need on top you have a microphone you
521.039 -> have your navigation pad as well as a
523.919 -> built-in google assistance button you
526.24 -> have your volume up and down your
527.68 -> channel rocker as well as some hotkeys
530.48 -> at the bottom there's youtube netflix
533.36 -> disney plus and amazon prime to go
535.839 -> directly to those applications so now i
538.08 -> just want to show you guys the operating
539.36 -> system real quick over here you can do
541.839 -> search as well as press this button and
543.76 -> do voice commands just like any type of
545.92 -> google assistance device down here you
548.16 -> can see all the applications that you
550 -> have installed
551.279 -> and at the top here you have live
554.16 -> movie shows
555.76 -> application as well as a library
559.2 -> so you can see there's plenty
560.32 -> applications that you can get on the
561.92 -> google tv
563.279 -> now if you go over here to the top
565.839 -> you go into your settings
568.16 -> and under there you have your channel
569.68 -> your display
571.2 -> and all types of different settings
573.04 -> another feature i want to show you guys
574.48 -> is called the calming bravio and you
577.12 -> need adapter like this to calibrate the
579.76 -> television so what you would do is
582.88 -> if you had a professional come out
585.2 -> they would basically pull up the tv
588.399 -> and then use software like this
590.959 -> and the great thing is that this allows
593.36 -> the tv to talk to your computer so it
595.519 -> can set up everything pretty much
597.2 -> automatically through the software and
599.519 -> that calman software is gonna run you
600.88 -> about 145 dollars and around 250 dollars
603.92 -> for the tester if you really want to
605.839 -> calibrate your television by yourself
608.079 -> that's what it's going to cost you now
609.76 -> we'll tell you for 2022 sony is
612.079 -> promoting this new camera for your
614.079 -> television it's called the cmu bc one
617.76 -> and it is a great add-on it does
620.24 -> features like automatic sound picture
622.24 -> adjustments as well as tracking people
624.72 -> in the room i will tell you that sony
626.64 -> camera has a lot of features like
628.48 -> automatic tracking it really works with
630.72 -> the television because it's designed
632.16 -> with it software wise but let's just see
634.32 -> if we can get another camera to work so
636.8 -> on top of the tv here i have this one by
639.519 -> a company called nexico it's a 4k camera
642.32 -> i did a video on it a few
644.88 -> episodes ago so you can go check it out
646.8 -> it's about 200 bucks
649.279 -> and then down here i have the google
651.36 -> dual software so let's go and install it
653.44 -> and see what happens
655.279 -> so first thing is asking for
657.68 -> access to my contacts this is a demo
660.079 -> account i don't really use it
662.079 -> next thing is that it can take pictures
665.12 -> and record video
666.72 -> i'm okay that
668.399 -> and that it will record audio
671.44 -> so now we got that all set up
674.64 -> there you have it so
676.72 -> granted the lighting you have to adjust
678.48 -> it with your particular tv but you can
680.72 -> see with this bright light and adjust my
683.04 -> sony now i could call someone using this
685.92 -> camera right on the television pretty
688.56 -> cool stuff for the people who are using
690.24 -> antenna all you would do is just go to
692.079 -> your channels and inputs
694.079 -> go to channels
695.519 -> go to cable antenna and then down here
698.56 -> you can scan for local channels and
700.56 -> here's a look at the built-in tv guide
702.56 -> for over-the-air scanning so you can see
704.72 -> it found tons of channels it shows a
706.72 -> thumbnail preview and at the top you can
709.12 -> choose from movies news sports and
711.36 -> comedy i will tell you that this
713.44 -> particular model doesn't do a dvr with
715.92 -> the thumb drive but i have heard in some
718.639 -> areas you will get that option so last
720.959 -> thing i want to show you guys is the
722.32 -> sound setting so this remote control
724.56 -> with the microphone can calibrate the
726.639 -> audio towards your room what you would
728.959 -> do is go down here to where it says
731.12 -> audio
732.32 -> calibration press on it
734.639 -> and then we're going to go ahead and set
735.92 -> it up
736.959 -> hit next
738.399 -> and then hit start
745.76 -> and then after that
747.2 -> your room and your tv is going to get
749.12 -> the best sound now we'll tell you that
750.959 -> the sony has a really good audio quality
753.12 -> and i decided not to demo it just
754.959 -> because this is a recording but i will
757.68 -> tell you if you're the type person who
759.6 -> are not into sound bars then this tv is
762.48 -> going to sound really good compared to
764.399 -> most tvs on the set and that's thanks to
766.72 -> that backlit panel that makes this tv so
769.279 -> thick the speaker's on the bottom and
771.36 -> that's gonna allow you to get more bass
772.959 -> and more clarity so i hope this video
774.88 -> gives you a better understanding of the
776.56 -> new sony x adk and i will tell you from
779.68 -> me
780.48 -> from last year model there's not many
782.8 -> upgrades but they're subtle enough that
784.8 -> if you're looking for the newest model
786.24 -> television then it's worth going for
789.36 -> now i will tell you guys that i have a
790.959 -> lot of other videos coming up in the
792.56 -> near future if you haven't subscribed to
794.639 -> my channel go ahead and do that now also
797.04 -> give me a thumbs up on this video if you
798.88 -> want to use it as a reference and just
801.279 -> in case i missed something that you want
803.36 -> to see leave a comment below and
805.68 -> hopefully in the future i can get back
807.76 -> to these comments and then make a
809.76 -> updated video answering your questions
812 -> i'm tech steve thank you guys for
813.92 -> watching and i'll catch you guys on the
816 -> next one
817.04 -> peace
