I got the 77” A95L (first TV in 12 years)… LOVE this TV to death!!! Thanks for the videos, guys :-)

Awesome video! Thanks Brian and FOMO!

I’m loving my new A95L. Last night I barely found out about Bravia Core and how you can watch movies in IMAX! I was blown away by the picture quality! 😳 👍🏼 👀

Thank you guys for all your work and taking the time to give the people the best TV review content 🙏🏻

Special request: a future video / discussion about the different second-best "Sony" options available this year, for those without A95L-budget [X90L vs X93L vs A80L vs A95K.. vs A95L later if so much better!]

I bought a 77” G3 an love it.The A95l may be better but the G3 is amazing also. Love what u buy 😊

Another great Video! Love the fun and learning experiences of watching your 2023 TV Shootout video series on Brian's Tech Therapy and Stop the FOMO. Thank you both for your help and coverage of our 2023 TV Shootout Evaluation event and your interviews with our 4 top professional calibrators, the panel of expert judges, myself and other key participants that make our annual event the great success it is.

Very excited 😀

You guys are awesome _i was cracking up the whole time - please keep these type videos coming 👍🏾👍🏾

I have not seen the A95L and I imagine it must be incredible but my S90C 77” was delivered a couple of days ago and I can’t imagine any tv being much better than this. The samsung is surreal, even with 1080p content. Keep up the content, you make guys like me that we buy tvs we keep coming back to watch. Thanks

God bless you all, very nice topic and great interaction in the chat section, thanks 👍

Saw the A95L in person at BB yesterday and immediately bought it. It arrives Saturday. Sometimes you gotta say Fnck it and go for it.

Fantastic video guys. Really enjoyed the videos over the last few days. Given me some food for thought. I’m torn now. I currently have a 65” A95K. I sit approx 4m away from the tv. For movies, I find that 65” is fine. I do have a bean bag that allows me to sit closer when I’m gaming. So advice please. I have enough for the 65” A95L. But I’m not willing to go to the £6k for the 77”. I’ve had LG’s before, and loved them. So the 77” G3 is a possibility. Or the 75” X95L is also one I’m looking at, as I do prefer Sony’s overall. Will the Dolby Vision gaming in the later update be a big plus for the A95L? Is it worth it? Or do I wait until early next year in the hope that the 77” A95L drops a bit in price?

Great video. Two questions. I think l see Hta9s in the background. Any chance of a A95l as a center review? Second, l have a 65 inch TCL 6 series now (R625) and a projector with a 100 inch screen. So l have an "immersive" experience steps away. Im happy with 65 inch size now. Should I get a 65 inch A95l or 77 inch S90c? Thanks.

Last year on black friday I purchased my LG C2 knowing that the S95B existed, but felt all right about it because Samsung was messing it up with all the inconsistent updates. Then a few months later LG announced that MLA was finally coming to their oleds, and after seeing the results I cannot deny that I was pissed. I've always felt that on some scenes while using HDR or DV the tv could benefit of a brigther picture, and after seeing the posibilities I knew that MLA could fix this feeling of mine. I just didn't expect it to arrive so soon. I guess that I need to accept that technology advances are inevitable and they are going to happen anyway.

So what's better for a bright room 65 inch A80L or X95L or X90L? Never had seen oled in person, I only watch TV with the lights on and cant add sound bar.

Cheers for the content guys, always good to watch. Would be good to see how the x90L compares against the likes of the Q90c

Getting mine today 🔥

Hi Brian, how close was the upscaling between the s95c vs g3 with low bitrate?

As someone who is coming from a Q80T and deciding between A80L and X90L for my next TV, I'm curious why does FOMO recommend staying with LED?

We still have our 65” C7 and it’s as amazing as it was from date of purchase with dark inky blacks, and amazing PQ. However, the processing has stepped up in a major way on the newer models and in 2023 it’s hard to compare that previous Oled to our 77” G3. I’ve owned many Samsungs and think they make some of the best lcd’s but I’m not a fan of their oled models. Had the Sony released sooner I may have purchased it, but was sold on LG’s MLA tech along with the oled proven reputation and 5yr included warranty. So again, had Sony released sooner it would have been a vey hard choice because I love Sony TVs. We have a X900h and love it.

Honestly, I can't justify replacing my main 77 inch C1 OLED yet. Especially since the 77 incher is too big to move to my bedroom. 😆 It still looks great and blackout curtains are cheaper than a brighter A95L. 😆 But I'm loving all the new OLED technology so when I do upgrade I'll have an even better, brighter OLED no matter what brand I choose. Looks like the A95L turned out awesome, which is great. I love that all the brands are really pushing the boundaries of OLED technology and picture quality these days! I hope LG brings the MLA tech to the C series next year so people have even more choices.

Just picked up my a95L today

Please do a comparison between X95L and A95L

Hi Brian and hi FOMO, i hope you doing great guys

Wanna see this one😊

Guys this is such a great video for me because the upscaling is so important to me. Love your energy! I was so surprised the QN95C didnt do better and I still lean towards it for my bright front room. So guys, is the A95L really the tv for me in my environment? Is it brighter than a mini led in sdr? Is it that much better than the G3 in brightness and upscaling? If all these questions end in yes...im buying the A95L! And then you say....QD OLED with mla.....noooooo....arrrrgh. Im waiting till 2026!!

This was fun to listen to. ❤🖖

I have a Samsung KS8000 65” and have loved it for years but it is painfully slow now and having lighting issues mixed with compatibility problems. I’ve been holding out for an OLED with expectable brightness and I need hdmi 2.1 for all the ports. You guys are killing me.

I absolutely love when you guys break down the mental aspect of this hobby. None of my friends are into TVs like me so vibing out to you two is the best. Btw- 77” a80j+ht-a9 is my setup. Once qd oleds get bigger then 77 I’m grabbing Sonys for sure 😂

lol love that intro 👏 📺

Can’t wait for your gaming review Brian! PC in particular but does it do UW 144hz? Ps5 auto hdr tone mapping a good feature?

Bought an 82 inch Samsung went for size in a big room, still like the decision. I think unless the tv's are side by side, most would never know.

Brian (and/or FOMO if either of you see this haha) I have a 65" A95L on order, upgrading from my 16 year old 47" LG lcd lol. Im stoked to be getting such an upgrade but as someone who loves to min/max everything, I'm trying to make sense of everything i need to do to get the most out of my tv, and have a few questions. Currently i have a PS5, hooked up to my cheap jbl 5.1 soundbar (which doesnt support hdmi 2.1) which is then hooked up to my lg. When my a95l comes in, until i upgrade my jbl soundbar to something like an ht-a7000/5000, should i connect the ps5 directly to the tv with 2.1 cable? And when i do go to the ht-a7000/5000, is there any reason to not connect the ps5 to the sony soundbar, and should i use the a95l as the center channel, as thats available with the sony/sony system. Lastly, im just learning about calibration for tvs, is this something i should look into locally? Im not ised to having a tv with so many modes and settings.... My issue is im just not sure theres anyone locally to me who I'd trust to do it, with such a new system. Im reading up on the Spears & Munsil ultra calibration discs, and am wondering if that would be a good idea to do that myself... Thanks for all you guys do, im really enjoying digging into your videos learning all i can.

Hi guys great video as always,I live in the uk and I’m looking to buy the A95L,the 55inch is £3000 and the 65 inch is £3700 budget is not an issue. My question is I sit 8 feet away from tv,which one would you recommend.Thanks guys keep up the good work.❤

Thanks for the Vid brother! Just got the notification today?! Need an opinion from you, X93L or the Qn90c? 75 inch bright room. Can’t decide!

Brian i must decide for myself between Panasonic (2023) 2004 or Philips 908 (both MLA) or Sony A95L all in 65 inch for me. Greetings from Munich

Another banger Brian! Love the content and my S95. That Sony though!! Congrats to anyone with that beast in their living room. Enjoy y’all.

How much will the sony a95k drop in price black Friday

Thanks Brian & FOMO

fomo i thought you said the A95L gets dim in its brightest preset for sports after a short while. Before you were leaning on the G3 for the bright whites when it comes to sports did this change?

Brian if you want stay 83in for now would you go for discounted c2 or a90j for gaming?

#Amazing #Content🎉❤🧘🌅🏞️🏁🔥🌕🌄💙💚🌊💛❤️

I JUST BOUGHT THE A95K!!

What content did you test with?

Was this TV calibrated before testing? Or out of the box?

Hey Brian. “Tech With KG” did an excellent side by side comparison today between the A95L & the G3. Shot in 4K one could Easily see the difference between them in the Vibrancy of the Colors. The LG Did look a bit better tho in a couple overhead shots of lush green grass, but that was the only thing it might have looked better on. Plus, LG is offering a FIVE YEAR Warranty on the G Line, whereas I think it’s only Three Years on the Sony TV’s. So you might be looking at adding $2-300 More on top of the $12-1300 if you go with the A95L model. I watched your other video on the Room Environment today and aside from a couple hours after work and a few hours on the weekends, I mostly have a very dark light controlled room.

I don’t know how you guys do the shoot out, but if you don’t do this, maybe you should going forward? - My suggestion is to cover up all the Name plates, cover up the bezels,, cover up the stands, so nothing is shown to maybe give one judge a biased opinion. - All anyone sees is the picture on the screen itself. - No one sees if it is an LG, a Sony, a Samsung, etc. Because if someone sees the stand they might know if that’s how the Sony stands are, or that’s how the Samsung stands are, etc.

Man, I hope my A90J is still relevant! I still love it though..

Is there a big difference between the a95k and a95l looking to get a new tv i am coming from a9g oled the reason i want to upgrade is for 2.1 4k 120 gaming which my a9g does not have. Or should i go with the lg g3 i am mostly gaming and watching movies this is such a tough choice

Has Sony completely fix the Dolby vision bug on the A95L??

Best TV for my use case - streaming stick, PS5, Nintendo Switch, eARC. All 4 ports can be used perfecty 😎

Why Samsung TV don't process DTS? Is Dolby vision that big of a deal with just a 10bit panel?

What about bright room conditions?

I’m a wait until January 2024 to pick up a A95L

Ive always bought Sony and i will always buy Sony. Getting the monster soon. 😊

The reason for alot of the resentment is that the Sony A95L is priced absurdly. For one 65inch A95L here in Germany you can Get a 65inch G3 AND S95C. If it was only 500-700 more ok, but double the price of the other TVs? And yes the Panasonic last year was on par with the A95k, this year it gets Microlens array. Panasonic Mzw2004 vs Sony A95L is the real Kings duel. Panasonic is 300 euro cheaper. Sonys A95k of last year is still way more expensive than this years G3 and S95C.

Hi guys, Should i spend extra $700-$800 to get Sony X95L instead of 85" Sony X93L? Or would i be better off with 85" Samsung QN95C?

Hi wich oled would you preafer in a bright room.? LG G3 77 Inch or Samsung S90C 77 inch .? Best regards

I have the SONY A90J IS THISBTV WOTH THE UPGRADE

So, the A80L has been out all year. Its always had XR clear. Why only after the A95L wins the shoot-out does it jet FoMos recommendation? I have seen the video you posted about it being overlooked this year. Like nobody was talking about it. Now its the second pick? I'm just confused. Now I have FOMO. lol. I'm trying to decide between the two. Would really like to go 83 inch. If you could explain all the difference's I would greatly appreciate the help. I currently have the 85 inch A900h. It is about 4 years old. Great stream. Thank you two for all the hard work.

Is this better than QN900B 8K?

Ha . Still rocking my LG C9 still works perfectly. Going to upgrade 2024. Im getting my damn $1900 worth. LOL 5 years is long enough though.

Looks like you have an 8K in the background. Would you swap it out for an A95L if you could?

I think I still have a great oled TV, even tho it's from the year 2015. The LG model is 55EF950V and it is a 3D TV with passive glasses. I do know there are new models like the Sony's A95L which have a very good panel and processor plus all the other good stuff, but I still want to keep watching my 2015 oled which is still also very good and amazing.

Off topic, Brian and Fomo, can you guys do a 98" compare for those of us who don't need the best but want a reasonably priced (not cheapest nor $25k), nice 90% performance TV for size/emersion? 🙏🤞

I actually just got the Sony A95L 65 inch and is my very first oled / QDOled, my previous TV was a Samsung KS9000 which did a great job but i had had it for over 6 maybe 7 years i lost count and it was showing with the bad backlight bleed and the blacks simply wasnt there and it could only do 4k 60 plus i wasnt a fan of Samsungs connect box also my previous tv was a 55 inch again great TV but it was time to upgrade and i had never owned an Oled until yesterday so im excited to get to have Sony's Latest and greatest and cant wait for all the great times ill get to have on it.

The reason for the change in Sony is the new reference displays are 4000 nits so expect changes in mastering from now on things will be moutch brighter

I could have bought any of the big three but I went with the the 77G3 and I’m pleased with it, I didn’t get the A95L because of the two 2.1 ports and one of them being the eArc

Does it comes with wall mounting

Really wish Sony will release a 97 version of the A95L

Does the a95l use the same upscaling as the a80l?

I think you can’t go wrong with any of the top tiers from Sony, Samsung, and LG. I decided to go with the G3, I’m happy with my choice, but can’t go wrong with any of them.

Is it possible to watch sports in Dolby vision on sony a95l

Igo four sony a95l

My advice buy the flag ships on Black Friday. My vote is the Samsung S90C 77 inch with 5 year warranty from Costco or Sams Club. I will wait till the Sony A95L goes on sale also waiting for CES.

Sooooo In 4 months the LG G4 comes out! :D

I’ll replace my 77G3 in two years time bye then I’ll have a hdmi 2.1 compatible processor so even if the Sony 2025 QD OLED still only comes with two 2.1 ports it won’t matter to me, and I’m hoping bye the we will have an 83 inch QD OLED with blue phosphorus can you imagine 💪

I just bought my A80L😢 ahhaha And I am loving it

FOMO, I don’t see Sony adapting MLA from LG in 2024. I think they will release a cheaper QD-OLED-maybe an XR A90M in 55”, 65”, 77” and smaller sizes depending on what Samsung Display produces next year. I also think that Samsung and Sony will introduce 88” QD-OLEDs in 2025. Apple Vision Pro might disrupt the high-end TV market next year. Let’s see. Good stuff Brian and FOMO-Love the channel.

I'm always a year or so behind the latest. I'm fine with that and save some money being late.

I want a 77 inch. Prefer A95L but 5k!! SonyA80L or Samsung S90C. Can’t decide! Could A95L drop in price soon?

I bought a G3 at a price match, super happy. Brian, your mic is too far away. bring it just a little bit closer to your mouth please, we would get less room eco, you would sound clearer. Thanks

Whomever at Sony greenlit only 2 of hdmi 2.1 ought to be fired! Shame on you Sony! 😮

Hi everyone!

Great job you guys. Zenith should come back. Fomo giving people more Fomo? People fail to realize is that no matter what tv you buy, it’s already outdated. Manufacturers don’t just throw all this technology into there TV’s overnight. Takes time to R&D and test all the technology that goes into TV’s. Yes some technology takes longer than others to refine. It’s not like they don’t have something better that they are gonna bring out next year…Hence the updates that each manufacturer sends out now a days. Every manufacturer has a timeline for when they plan on releasing each technology. So enjoy the TV you have bought/got. Don’t worry or pay attention to what others say about your TV, unless they are buying it for you.

Emotional damage!

Who is better 65 inches A95L or S95C?

I think this highlights that graphics is an art and humans do not have pro accurate sensors on their body. A painting is not as accurate as a photo, but humans prefer an artistic representation of reality. We all inhabit bodies with different flaws which makes us human. Calibration and standardisation is fine on the production line of content, so that you have a consistent output. Like colour grading a movie to a reference monitor, or mixing music to calibrated audio speakers in a recording studio. But for consumption by the consumer, the product has to be tuned to what appears good to the user. That's why we have tone controls on an amplifier. Measuring instruments do not see things the same as a human does. Sony realise this and manipulate the image to the biometrics of the human eye. The human eye perceives reality different to a measuring device. For example, the colour brown does not exist. Place the colour on a white background and we see dark orange which is what it is, but place the colour on a black background and we see brown. The colour that does not exist in the eyes of measuring equipment. It's just a mix of red and yellow at a low luminosity, but its appearance is change by the surroundings. You might not have perfect eyes and get your TV calibrated to look crap. But if you alter the setting to compensate for any flaws in your eyes yourself, it looks perfect. Professional calibration is an expensive FOMO con for normal consumers. Sony start with calibration, then fine tune it to what looks good to humans. You will always have the tech geek claiming it does not read accurate on the meter, even if he secretly thinks it looks better, and that makes him angry. If you want proof of this, look at CD vs vinyl. CD is a 100% perfect capture of what was recorded in the studio, while vinyl introduces harmonic distortion to colour the sound. If you are a musician who knows what the real instruments should sound like, you know that CD is the most accurate. But people prefer the warm tone of slight harmonic distortion. A measuring sensor will tell you the CD is more accurate, but humans prefer what sounds good to their ears. It is the same with graphical displays. Reviewers need to bear this in mind when thinking about calibration.

My only complaint about the hype from on the New QD-Oled panels after CES in 2022 on how this was going to be a hybrid oled between Led and Oleds and how these TV could be far cheaper than W-Oled TVs. with a less panel part. That wasn't the case. It's what I dreamed that would be my next TV. I'm not ready to trust one blue back light for years of use without panel DSE. It's just so new and no long term testing. I prefer Dolby Vision. I still like it from my Sony Blu-ray player UBP-X800M2, I don't find it all that dark like you all betray it out to be. Even for Dolby Vision version 1. When I heard about MLA displays being brighter this what led me to want an LG G3 over anything else.

Bought a Sony 77" A95L and a 65" Z9K. The A95L has a great picture, but I ended up returning it and keeping the Z9K. The A95L, even if it's the brightest OLED it's still just not bright enough for me. Dolby Vision looked great on the A95L, but gaming was not nearly as enjoyable as on the Z9k. The Z9K just looks so much more vibrant and punchy, and I guess I am a sucker for brightness. The Z9K is honestly also very good with black levels!

The new QOLAD don’t last 10 years? My last two TVs lasted 10 years easy. I have the 77 inch A95L and I love it! It would be very disappointing if it dies in a couple years.

The only thing I don't like from Sony is the extra price hike, but still, I would pick the Sony over samsung any day, and Sony has dolby vision. I went from the lg g2 to the lg g3, and the g3 is better and has more punch, in the movie Aquaman from 1:54:56 the lights on the ships are brighter and the red lava, the g3 just pops where my g2 didn't.

I wonder how long do I have to hold out to for 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. In my opinion the Sony A95L picture quality is not far superior to the Samsung’s QD OLED’s. Yes upscaling lower resolution is the big plus but is it 1000 plus dollars more a plus. If Sony had 4 HDMI ports for the huge price difference I say patience. Here’s to holding out to 2024 😅!!

My issue is availability. ...

This is why I will run my Pioneer Elite Plasma 60 inch till it dies, Lol

Honestly I could care less. I am loving my legendary LG C1 and will ride with it until it dies. For those that bought the A95L or whatever enjoy and have fun with it. Your money your choice. For me the C1 is still where it's at. It may not be QD OLED but I could care less. But having resentment towards the A95L? Not me because again I could care less. Again for those that bought it? Enjoy the hell out of it. Won't be looking at ANY TV's until my C1 dies and when it finally does I may go the projector or laser projector route. Time will tell.

Brian u can u pls lower the brightness on your Tv behind u ... its so distracting :)...oh wait this is u7k and u guys stil talking about sony samsung :)

NGL, y'all MASSIVELY underrated the the A95L image from jump. Its like y'all were cautious to be known as "the first guys that said the A95L is the best OLED" on YT. Bruh, Best Buy FINALLY displayed the 77" A95L in my local store and I seen it in person. NO OTHER TV COMES CLOSE to the A95L! Its the best TV i have ever seen in my life!!.... THEN, I immediately asked myself "why TF did Fomo and Brian not INSTANTLY name this TV the best TV theyve ever seen and WiNNER of 2023!!??" Ive watched y'all coverage for over 6 months on this TV and y'all BEEN seen this TV for almost a MONTH now. F the specs, you dont need them to see CLEARLY that the A95L is the GOAT! Say it with ya chest fellas! Y'all were bieng too timid with your conclusions at first. I hope y'all dont be so scared to crown a king when you see one in the future. Wether it be Sony, Sammy or LG. Btw, I HATE $ony! This will be the first $ony product I buy in over 10 years! I returned my S95C because the One Connect Box is glitchy AF in game mode. Keep being you fellas, just be MORE of what yall really are. Too much fakeness on YT as it is.
