I finally got an oled after years of reading reviews and saving up. I went with the Sony a80j for the better handling of motion and SD content.
I got it for an absurdly cheap price with a gift card and the panel seems perfect in terms of the gray slides checks. I disabled all the additional processing but ran into a major problem just like my Panasonic plasma: Audio and lip sync issues no matter what I do.
This is in the tv itself when not hooked to anything. It stays that way with my receiver and also when connected via ARC. Disabling the onboard tv AV sync does nothing. Turning off 24p does nothing which was the issue on my plasma. The only thing that seems to work is switching to game mode which immediately removes the lag though there might be a tiny fraction of lip sync issue left or it might be me playing tricks on myself. I tested a DVD upscaled and that seemed fine too.
This is the same on all inputs. I can only watch a movie in Game mode. I haven’t tried HDR yet because I got the tv first and planned to order a UB800 player when the prices dropped a little closer to Black Friday. I figured I could get the tv setup in SDR and get used to things first.
It does have analog in but of course it’s the 3.5mm to RCA jack and requires an adapter they didn’t provide. Is there a good one of these things to get that won’t degrade quality? Sony’s part site has one for $40.
The setup itself was pretty simple. Out of the box on Custom mode with a few tweaks is pretty accurate save for doing a professional calibration. Has anyone here ever set one up or might have any advice? The sync problem is ruining this tv and I’m now wondering if it might be a panel issue meaning I might have to hurry up and do a return swap.
