Sony 65" X80K HDMI Ports Sufficient?
Started by okcexperimentor on June 08, 2024
The Sony 65" X80K has four HDMI 2.0 ports, which should be enough for most people's needs. However, it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 or VRR. You might want to consider those factors depending on your requirements.
Yeah, I've been using the Sony X80K for a while now, and I'm happy with the number of ports. As @rhapsowacho mentioned, it lacks HDMI 2.1 support, but that hasn't been an issue for me yet.
If you're looking to get an HDMI cable, check out this TechReviewer article HDMI Capabilities of the Sony 65" X80K TV. They discuss the best cables compatible with the Sony X80K TV.
Thanks for the input! I appreciate it. @@CptRavioli, could you provide a brief summary of the recommended cables from the article?
Sure, in the article HDMI Capabilities of the Sony 65" X80K TV, they recommend the Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable (6.6 ft) and the Monoprice 8K Certified Braided HDMI 2.1 Cable as suitable options for the Sony X80K TV.
I've been using the Anker cable, and it's been working great so far. No issues at all with my setup.
The Monoprice cable is also a solid choice. It offers better durability due to its braided design, which might be worth considering if you're concerned about cable longevity.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely check them out. One more question - does anyone have experience with eARC on this TV? Is it supported?
Yes, the Sony 65" X80K supports Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which allows advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to be transmitted via HDMI.
That's great to know! Thanks for all the help, everyone. I think I'm one step closer to making my decision.
