Because the display is so low set, you probably won’t notice the cables unless you are intentionally looking for them, but they are there and they can be seen. The downside of this philosophy is that the feet of the A80J are so close to the platform on which it sits that there is no room to include any kind of cable management. Stands can look cool, but that’s not why I buy a television. When watching the A80J, I can attest that while I like the innovation of some stands on competitor displays – like the dramatic swoop found on the Vizio OLED – forcing my eye to just enjoy what’s on display with no distractions does make sense. Sony chose this particular design philosophy to bring as much emphasis on the display itself and make the other parts of the television fade into the background.

The bezels are near invisible, and Sony created a stand that sits the A80J just barely above my media console. Like most modern OLED televisions, the actual display of the Sony is stunningly thin.
