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.
