The new TV has better PQ compared to the old TV bro. Not a huge difference between both though.

If we put both TVs side by side and view the same content, the difference can be noticeable.

Guys one question, this TV has only AC power cord (cable) and there is no power adapter unlike the past Sony TV models that always came with a big adapter depending on the TV sizes. I found it strange and asked the shopkeeper about it. They said lately Sony hasn't been providing any power adapter for the TVs.

Do any of know whether other brands are also following this trend?

U may check and you will notice that the power needed for this tv is 220-240v ac like samsung tv. Samsung also doesn't provide any adopter with their tv. A voltage stabilizer is very much needed for this kind of combination.
But 75L,64L(2023) still giving adopter with their set.

The reason I didn't went for X80K model was because it was the 2022 model and an upgraded model X80L was already launched last month, which is the 2023 model. I choose to go for the latest model.

By the way, I also visited a nearby Reliance Digital before visiting a dedicated Sony showroom. On Reliance Digital, they were not having the X80L model in stock and if I want this model, I had to book it and they will get it for me which would take 3-5 days, their price for X80L was around Rs. 78k (that's 3k higher compared to the price I bought it for!).

If you are getting X80K (old model) for X80L (new model) price, that's a bad deal I would say. X80K cost has been decreased in the market now and the model manufacturing has been stopped by Sony after the new model launch.

When buying TV or Mobile, always better to buy new model until unless price difference is too much

Thanks Bapun. We discussed this in length at showroom and 55" size is not available in X80L. Also I don`t want to settle for a lower size as we are currently using 43" tv. From the limited information available for newer model, I didn`t found any changes in spec sheet than the outgoing model. The store personnel also told that that warranty and panel replacement policy was going to be same for both.
Hence decided to take a plunge and booked X80K along with Sony S20R 300W soundbar and now we are poorer by 82k.
