I’m in Canada and got an A80j recently…55” at around 8’ away and it’s still incredible. I think you’ll be fine with your distance and that size, and def OLED
Either TV is fine depending on your budget really. I sit around the same distance and I have a 65 inch but there are times thatI wish I had a 75 because it would be that much better. Don't get a 55 inch especially if it's 4K.
So Best Buy has the 65” A80J on for a really good deal right now. I haven’t ever seen it this low. Like, you have to trust me when I say, at this moment, it is as low as it can go. For reference, holiday season last year in Canada it sold for around $2200. Best Buy also currently has their price protection on until January 14th. So get either the 55” or 65” while it is in stock near you, and if the price drops over the holidays you can bring your receipt into the store and get the price changed. The OLED is 100% worth it’s cost. Best Buy does also offer FairStone financing, so if you want, you can finance the last few hundred at no interest (as long as you make the payments).
What the store viewing won’t tell you about the x90k is the off axis viewing and the reflections. I’ve had experience with the x90h and returned it because of that. Hoping the K is much better.
A80J if $$$ is no issue. X90K is probably the best bang for the buck hands down, unless you can find an open box X90J (which actually had slightly better PQ).

Is there any other screens I should consider if I moved up ?
I have both. The A80J has the better picture but the X90K is nothing to complain about either. Depends on the viewing location and budget.
Great answer, I'm looking at 75" X90K as OLED too expensive for the larger size
A80 is in another league frankly.
Is it worth dropping it to 55 to stay in my budget or find a way for 65? Lol

Thanks! I appreciate the advice
Store is not the place to compare TVs! Try rtings.
A80J is a beast
US? LG OLED C2 is a lil cheaper rn than the X80J, and it's a beautiful tv. Or a C1. Both incredible.
I'd say go OLED then if replacing Plasma and you are in a basement, good luck

The newer 65" Sony A80K OLED is cheaper than the A80J shown in the picture; it's $1699 at Best Buy in the US. Not sure where you're at.
I sit a little over 6’ away and while 55” is okay, 65” is far more immersive.
I would wait for a better deal. I got a 65” A80J for last years Black Friday for $1799…I would expect a bigger deal a year later
Agree with this comment, Costco has the a80k 65" for $1699 right now.
Why not A80K?
From one Canadian to another. The A80J is leagues better and your viewing distance of 6.5 feet is solid for the 55 inch size.
Cool. I might try the 55 and return it if I don’t like it! I find it so hard to make the decision when comparing all the levels of quality
The demo’s in store are soo misleading compared to Normal in home use but since you’re comparing oled to a lcd you will definitely see a difference
A80J
I just got an A80J 55” for 1000 USD from PC Richardson
