The LG C1 OLED 65" and the Sony Bravia XR A80J 65" are both 2021 flagship OLED televisions that deliver excellent contrast, deep blacks. And wide viewing angles typical of self-emissive panels. Public reviews and specification sheets show the LG C1 OLED 65" arriving with a lower street price, four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports instead of the Sony’s two, and updated Bluetooth 5.0 support, while the Sony Bravia XR A80J 65" weighs noticeably less, integrates acoustic surface audio that uses the screen itself as a speaker. And runs the Google TV platform with broader app compatibility and smoother smart features. Brightness, color accuracy after calibration, and motion handling remain closely matched between the two sets according to aggregated test data. The short version: choose the LG C1 OLED 65" for better value. And connectivity or the Sony Bravia XR A80J 65" if lighter weight and its distinctive audio design matter more.

Verdict: Pick LG C1 OLED 65" if you want a lower price, more HDMI ports, and newer Bluetooth; pick Sony Bravia XR A80J 65" if you prefer a lighter set with built‑in acoustic surface audio and Google TV integration. LG wins on price and connectivity, while Sony wins on audio and ease of mounting.
