Sony Bravia A80J 

At a Glance: Price: £1899 - £3999 Screen Type: OLED Top Features: Bravia XR Processor, XR Motion Clarity, Acoustic Surface Audio +

Why it's Summer of Sport ready: OLED ensures contrast is bright and detail is crisp and clear, meaning you won't miss a player, ball or athlete no matter how panned-out the camera is.

Now is also the perfect time to purchase one of Sony’s brand new for 2021 OLED screens, to make sure every match, event or competition is given the reception it deserves with a crystal clear picture. We love the Sony Bravia A80J because even as their entry-level OLED panel, you'll benefit from deeper blacks and brighter lights, XR Clarity for close to 4K quality no matter what the source and XR Motion Clarity to ensure that no player or athlete looks blurry no matter how zoomed out the picture is. Acoustic Surface Audio + positions sound directly in the centre of the screen, with a front-facing subwoofer to add greater depth and dynamism.
