Of those HDMIs, two are standard HDMI 2.0 spec but two are HDMI 2.1-certified. That means you get aerial, satellite (Freesat in the UK), ethernet and optical ports, plus three USBs and four HDMIs. Other than the traditional speaker terminals (which the A90J has and the A80J/A84J does not), the A80J/A84J has identical connections to the A90J, both in terms of positioning and specification. It also means that the A80J/A84J arguably looks more like a floating panel when wall mounted than does its more premium A90J sibling. That said, it covers less of the set’s rear, which means more of what you see from the sides is exceptionally thin. The A80J/A84J’s enclosure is more angular than most, and it’s thicker than that of the A90J, making for an overall depth measurement of 5.3cm (2.1 inches) compared to the A90J’s 4.1cm (1.6 inches). This ‘somewhere’ is almost always (the obvious exception being LG’s sadly now retired 'Wallpaper' models) a plastic enclosure attached to the rear of the display. The panel section of an OLED TV is always super-thin, thanks to the lack of a backlight, but a TV is more than its panel, and its processing hardware, speakers and connections all need to be housed somewhere. When they’re in the narrow placement, the set has a footprint that’s a very reasonable 69cm (27.3 inches) wide. The A80J/A84J, by comparison, is less immediately striking but a good bit more accommodating, with its fairly dainty feet positional in either a wide, narrow, or soundbar stance. Those same feet can be reversed in order to give the TV a raised, soundbar-friendly posture, but its footprint remains wide, making it potentially awkward to find a home for. The flagship A90J takes an aesthetically unique stance with its, well, stance, in that its feet extend beyond the left and right edges of the display when fitted in the default position, raising the set off its stand by less than a millimetre.
Sony’s 2021 models differ from LG’s by having a company logo stamped on the bottom lip, but it’s so small and subtle as to be almost invisible.
Remove an OLED TV from its feet or pedestal and it suddenly becomes exponentially harder to differentiate it from its peers, particularly when viewed square on: they’re all essentially black rectangles surrounded by thin, black bezels.
