Couldn't agree more!

Thanks a ton!

That is a great model! Sony rocks!

Still a fantastic tv. Was there second best model in 2021. Can’t go wrong with the second best Sony. I have an A80K which is the 2022 iteration of that tv. also just got this tv in the video.

Well consider an upgrade friend. your Sony TV is at least 2 or 3 years old. Thats like "crush depth" if you are a submarine. My Uncle Ned always said do you want to be watching last years TV or do you want to live in the present? Its so true, my Uncle Ned is so smart...

@@michael-4k4000 😂

If I go from a A8F to this would I notice much difference would also jump from 65 to 77

Mini LED technology is really incredible. But we have to say, this QD OLED is probably the best TV we've seen in this price category ever. There is still a spot for mini led though. If you have further questions or need help choosing one, contact our team of experts at audioadvice.com! Thanks!

It really is!

Agreed!

Thanks for sharing

Absolutely!

Sony is LG. 🤣

@@clou1969Samsung panel this time!

​@@clou1969A tv is much more than the panel. If you were right, everyone would want the LG, but they don't. They want the Sony, and they're willing to pay much more for it. Same with Samsung.

Thanks so much!

Guys I've got a lot of money.... can I get 3 of these plaese?

You would have to plug your xbox into your home theater receiver. This will depend on your setup though.

We can only hope! Thanks for watching

Good question, it has an aluminum casing. So it feels more solid.

Not that we have seen, although some apps are more trouble than others with it.

We have not had any issues with our test unit. However, we've only had it for a few weeks.

@@AudioAdvice do me a favor, if you'll notice any burn-in issues in the next months so let me know.

Thanks for watching!

We agree!

Thank you! On the WiFi what we mean is this TV’s Ethernet connection is limited in speed. Sony suggests using WiFi for their 4k movie service. But if you have bad WiFi you should use hard wired. Appreciate you sharing your comments on your current Sony.

@@AudioAdvice I see. That's interesting as I have superfast download speed, generally ~900-950 MB's down through ethernet. Thanks for the info!

@@AudioAdvice throttling their ethernet connection on a flagship TV is criminal. Sony makes great TV's but some of their decisions are baffling. A direct wired connection is so much more reliable than Wi-Fi.

Thanks, yes, XR Clear is great. Thanks for watching

Agreed!

Yes

Not over the built in apps, no. Especially on Netflix as if you use the built in apps you get the tech Sony and Netflix developed together for a better experience.

@@AudioAdvice thank you for this!!!

Yes, it will have an ethernet port in the back.

Yes, this is one flaw that we wanted to be sure to point out. It is a little disappointing. But other than that, this TV is phenomenal. We have not done a side by side comparison with the G3 yet but we have a hunch it'll beat it 😏

Get an hdmi adapter.more ports done.

I am in the same boat. I have the CX and was looking at upgrading to a G3 but saw this tv. Man, I'm stumped now.

No issue on this TV as far as we know or have seen in any testing.

We'd have to do an updated test but our latest testing was pretty good.

Have you ever used this tier of Sony TV?

You'll need an AVR with legacy connections to do that. Chat with our team at audioadvice.com for more help!

U can not do that sir. We our a few decades away from that type of technology. Thanks for watching

$2,798 - www.audioadvice.com/sony-bravia-xr-a95l-qd-oled-4k-hdr-google-tv-2023+diagonalmeasurement-55

$2,798 sounds to good to be true, what's the deal?

True. However, the card inside this TV limits the speed of Ethernet. The WiFi card is much faster and allows higher speeds.

Sony only put a 100Mbps ethernet controller in this TV, so the WiFi is likely significantly faster as long as you have a router than can at least support WiFi 4.

@@j5689 Absolute fail by Sony. One of the most expensive TV's you can get and they cheap out on their ethernet connection. Ridiculous

@@lucaslee1483 Yep, supposedly even their flagship QD-OLEDs still come with only a 100Mbps Ethernet controller. And meanwhile Sony is trying to market their unique high-bitrate streaming service that will literally warn you that it’s likely to go above that. It’s completely backwards on Sony’s part.

We do too. We were really happy to see it in 77" this year. Maybe next year 🤞

Understandable. Thanks for sharing.

Sony does not specify, but a little digging on that panel shows it to be 80. But remember with Sony, its all about their superior video processing. Thanks for watching

@@AudioAdvice thank you, in that case i won't be getting it because that would mean text clarity browsing or doing productivity is not enough, it won't be like a smart phones text clarity right?

Thanks for the feedback. This is meant to be an overview of the TV as well as our thoughts on it. So far, we haven't found any flaws, as our unit worked great. We have the 77 inch version that we used for testing. And yes the screen size feature should be updated soon!

Yeah I took it like an Ad. The moment he said it has 2000 Nits, I rolled my eyes. This TV cannot, I repeat, CANNOT do 2,000 Nits. Not even close. He’s a newby, so we have to explain to him that that 2,000 Nits is on Vivid Mode that nobody cares about and for only a fraction of a second. Any reviewer wouldn’t even mention this. The TV is close to 1350 Nits on a 10% and around 250 Nita full field white.

Can you name me a brand where the brightest setting occurs on a regular viewing mode?

2,000 nits peak brightness. We mentioned you would not watch it on those video settings.

We haven't had any issues with ours yet.

Not sure what you are asking.

Think there's a privacy cover for it

Yes, it plugs into the back and can easily be removed. There is also a cover to cover the connection on the back once removed. You must install it when you open the box.

Haha! They have a great picture for sure

Some brands (like TCL and others) have the expectations that the user will primarily be using WIFI to connect to the internet (due to convenience), so they'll throw in a beefier wifi card capable of higher bandwidth but gimp the physical network connection to 100mbps (standard is usually a gigabit, 1000mbps in most other devices). if the TV runs on android, most likely one can get a usb to ethernet adapter to convert to 1000gbps capabilities

@@chibbyylol Interesting reply.... so are you saying that Sony, on the XR A95L, intentionally downgraded the wired ethernet port to something less than the 1000mbps that I get from most other devices on my home cat 6 wired network?

​@@skipsaunders5974 I think TVs for the most part have always had fairly limited ethernet capabilities (100mbps) So yes most other things on a wired network (laptop, pc, etc) will be faster at 1000mbps

​​@@skipsaunders5974 It's probably limited by the Mediatek chipset they used, which is still only providing Fast Ethernet.

Yes, that is correct. The Ethernet connection is actually capped at slower speeds than the WiFi is. While Ethernet may be a more "stable" connection on the TV, the WiFi card is capable of faster speeds and is therefore recommend for Bravia Core. For regular streaming, your Ethernet connection should be just fine.

If you are serious about a great picture, yes!

Thanks for watching!

You are definitely paying for the best quality out there! However, we wish they were able to lower the prices too.

The price difference is not justified, yes it may be better than G3 or S95C, but not 30% better as in the price difference.

Thanks for sharing!

Yes, its the way of the world with TV's, every company introduces new models every year! But even a 10 year old Sony still looks great!

@@AudioAdvice yeah .....kind of wish I was a bit more patient. Aw well, you live, you learn.

Our goal was to make an overview of what this TV has to offer. We did also give our opinions on the quality and on a few things we wish it could have done better like having more 2.1 HDMI ports. But honestly, there is not much we didn't love about how good this TV is. Which is one of the main reasons we wanted to show off everything it is capable of!

Sony is overhyped, as well as overpriced.

See many others Reviews of this tv and you will see all says almost the same, its a great TV

Thanks for the feedback. We were very impressed with this TV and that is why we decided to make a video for it. Our goal was to provide an in depth overview for someone who wants to learn about all the Sony Tech and Features so they can make an informed buying choice.

@@AudioAdvice come out with a great review for the S95C and 8K mini LEDs!

Digital Trends also released a review this week saying it’s the best TV they have ever seen.

No, it really isn’t. If want you to see film as the director intended you need filmmaker mode and you won’t find that on Sonys because they rely on ‘reality creation’.

Agreed! Thanks for watching 😃

The A95L has a "professional mode" and "cinema" mode. Directors are often looking at extremely expensive reference monitors when they film. So there is no true way to get exactly what they are seeing on a consumer TV. Since Sony is involved with creating movies, cameras, lenses and more, they have engineers who are able to get the directors intent as close as they can on a consumer TV. Cinema mode will slightly adjust the contrast and colors to attempt to look similar to the directors intent but have it be slightly more vibrant since no TV can produce the colors of a reference monitor. In the "professional mode" Sony has spent a ton of research and development to get this as close as possible to directors intent without changing anything else. And they did an incredible job with the new "professional" mode. We'd argue it's the best you'll get in this price range if you want to be as close as possible to the directors intent.

I don't care what director intended, just bullshit marketing. It is not possible what director intended on a small screen compared to a cinema screen

@@kuldipsingh366 you’re wrong. End of.

We are very sorry to hear that.

Sure are!!

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you use 3D often? We don't find many people who do. P

Thanks for the feedback. We will take that into account next time. It can be very difficult to show on KZfaq just how impressive the image is. It will naturally depend on the camera we use, KZfaq's compression and then what device you watch it on. Therefore, it doesn't do a lot of good to try to justify the quality on a video. Instead, we tried to give an overview of the features and describe how great the image is.

Your experience is very different from most people, sorry you did not like it.

I just bought this tv ~ you should be making the call to your optometrist, not Sony.

Interesting take. Many regard Sony TV's as the best looking on the market. They've replaced filmmaker mode with professional mode which is very similar but has very good color accuracy. If you get a chance, you should see the new A95L in person and compare it side by side with your next favorite. We think you may be surprised!

@@AudioAdvice Thank you for taking the time to respond. Having previously pre-ordered and subsequently returned the A90J, I’m familiar with the Sony picture presets. The most accurate OOTB was the custom preset and the two professional presets were hidden and could be exposed by downloading a calibration app: is that still the case or is the custom preset now called professional? Regardless, it may be the best picture preset available on the A95L, or any Sony for that matter, but they aren’t picture accurate due to the over processing of the image, primarily by the faux sharpness setting Sony insist on: reality creation. Filmmaker mode (FMM) tries to follow the industry standards to view content as it was mastered and intended to be seen. For as long as Sony rely on reality creation, the UHD alliance will never allow them the FMM picture presets onboard Sony TV. The only way to defeat reality creation is by disabling it and then having the unit calibrated. I also take umbrage with Sony’s continuing baffling decision to limit the onboard Ethernet connection to 100Gbps despite offering a service, Bravia Core, that requires speeds of over 100Gbps to see the media the service offers in the highest resolution available. And does the Android TV operating system still lack the ability to match content frame rates automatically via native apps onboard such as Netflix, Prime etc, etc? It used to, it’s Androids Achilles heel as far as I’m concerned. Thanks again for taking the time to reply, but Sony isn’t for me. And neither is the Samsung S95 due to undefeatable processing, particularly when watching SDR content and the lack of DV. For picture accuracy, as well as colour accuracy, I shall be replacing my JZ2000 with either the LG G3 or another Panasonic, the MZ2000 and head straight to FMM.

The professional mode isn't hidden on the A95L. We also wish the Ethernet was capable of faster speeds. And we wish there were more HDMI 2.1 ports. We are pretty sure native apps can match frame rates but this is something we will have to double check now. We appreciate your feedback and totally understand that Sony may not be right fit for everyone! Besides, no TV is perfect. Hopefully Sony can address these things that we bring up and continue to make better and better options. Cheers!
