This is the best QD-OLED TV on the market. Even though it is a 2023 model, the color and brightness are amazing for an OLED TV. Highly recommend this for any OLED fans. The factory speakers work extremely well without a sound bar, however you will need a soundbar if you are looking for an immersive experience. The only downside is there are only two 120Hz HMDI ports whereas one of these is the ARC/eARC port for your soundbar or home theater equipment. On sale for Black Friday deals, definitely worth it.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're thrilled to hear that you consider it the best QD-OLED TV on the market. The 2023 model indeed offers amazing color and brightness, which are standout features for OLED TVs. We're glad you appreciate the factory speakers' performance, though we agree that a soundbar can enhance the immersive experience even further. Your feedback on the HDMI ports is noted, and we understand the need for more 120Hz HDMI ports. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

Don’t listen to anyone, this is the best TV ever made. Came out in 2023 and won TV of the year for 2023 AND 2024. The thing about TV’s is they will always be beat by a bigger dish. This is my third OLED, and I promise you if there was any TV you were going to buy for the next 8+ yrs and forget about it. This is the one.
Came from LG CX-> LG C1-> Sony A95L. I am comfortable not worrying about following TV’s chasing the best until this TV dies. Sony processing alone, then compared with the QD-OLED. Please don’t waste your money on any other TV. Even low quality content has me stunned. The colors blow my mind, didn’t even know this was possible, again and this is my third OLED. Be smart, pull the trigger and feel comfortable everytime you look at your screen. This is a TV I turn on 7 months after purchasing and play 1080p non-HDR content and just get blown away how it still looks so good ! No regrets . Even my cat enjoys it
Thank you.

I was able to buy this TV open box. The image quality is awesome, but the LG G5 is super close. If the G5 was cheaper, I would go for it over the A95L. I am always impressed with the color and clarity of the A95L.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I felt obliged to do so for those considering the A95L. First, let me start off with the one con and why it didn’t get 5 stars..GOOGLE TV is very buggy and slow! This can be migitated however, if you use a seperate steaming device. I have an Apple TV, so I only use Google tv for system settings, which can be a pain to navigate due to the software being glitchy at times, which is unacceptable for a tv at this price point. That’s truly the only negative! (and also the price lol) As for the positives, I upgraded from an Lg C1 and the brightness, clarity, & color are accentuated and extremely noticeable. From movies, anime, to gaming the Sony processing shines and hdr content actually looks amazing! The sound on this TV was also miles better than my C1. C1 is still a fantastic tv, but overall, im very happy with my upgrade and now owning a qd oled of this caliber in my living room!

Hands down, the best TV I’ve ever had the privilege of owning. I looked at ALL the options available in 2024, and this TV, released in 2023, was still the undeniable winner. The color depth alone thanks to the QD-OLED panel is unreal, and I’m hoping this technology, despite production costs, sticks around. It’s truly a superior experience. Coupled with the unrivaled Sony picture processing, this TV is the ultimate experience.

If you are a heavy duty gamer with all the consoles and Pc avoid this Tv, Lg g3 and Samsung are much better gaming tv's. Having said that however, I love this Tv.
It's very bright, brightest Oled I have ever seen and the colors really pop. PS5 gaming is awesome as well, this tv will even auto calibrate hdr in the ps5. This Tv is however lacking gaming features like Free Sync and Gsync that would benefit pc and xbox gamers however.
This Tv also has only 2 Hdmi 2.1 ports which is criminal considering Lg and Samsung give you 4. The Sony A7000 bar however will give you two more hdmi 2.1 ports with full passthrough support.
One of the selling features is using the Tv as a center speaker with a soundbar or receiver. Do not do it.... While it's great for dialog it drowns out everything else to the point of I unplugged the soundbar real fast to just finish watching my show with the regular tv sound. Disabled center speaker tv mode however makes the soundbar worth it.
Finally since this is my 5th oled I am qualified in saying the reason this tv is not perfectly rated by me besides only 2 hdmi 2.1 ports and horrible center channel integration is for all this tv's perfection it has the worst black crush I have ever seen in an oled. During dark content it's one thing, but during tv scenes with a little darkness or shadow over a characters face the black crush is overly distracting, especially when everything else around it is so perfect. Unfortunately most Sony tv reviews are paid sponsors so you won't read to much about the minor issues.
One other small complaint, the bravia cam is useless, would have rather had the tv for $300 cheaper and it's auto adjust features made the image worse so I just turned it off

My main TVs since 1975 or so have been Sony, and I have never been disappointed. My last one, an LCD, lasted 18 years. I've been told by multiple sources that was 10 years longer than average. My new one is an OLED with the best picture ever. So far, excellent.

I’ve been using the Sony 55" BRAVIA XR A95L for a month, and it's truly the best viewing experience I've had. The picture quality is phenomenal - colors pop, blacks are deep, and the detail is incredible. It's a game-changer for movies and gaming alike. The Google TV feature is great for streaming, though it can be slow occasionally. Despite this, the TV’s performance far outweighs this minor issue. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking for premium picture quality and features.

This tv has exceeded all expectations I had. I did a significant amount of research prior to taking the dive. But after reading a significant amount about the a95k (old model) and the a95L—it was the obvious winner. As a big console player, I can say the ps5 looks magnificent and the colors look magnificent. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised with the audio as well. While I typically use headphones, the onboard audio is absolutely stellar.

Amazing at first. You're wowed by the colors, all of the amazing lights and thousands of bright color pixels. And you're like wow this is the best TV ever. And then all of a sudden (very quickly) 15 months later AFTER the warranty expires (12 months) you start to see pixels going. Yes dead pixels on Sonys Flagship TV. It won awards for being great. But DURABILITY is not one of these awards. A $3,000 television that is supposed to be the best television in the world that has dead pixels after 15 to 19 months?? Hmmm. This TV would be five stars if after 15 months you don't see dead pixels, but the problem is you start to get dead pixels a year and a half later.
Furthermore, Sony customer service thinks your dumb and Sony tells you, at first, that this is normal and you are beside yourself that a $3,000 TV has red dead pixels in the middle of character faces after a year and a half. Normal ?!? What!! The second lie then comes from Sony and they say they don't have that TV anymore so they can't replace it which is all I wanted. However, this is a lie also because I can still buy it at my local Best Buy.
Then after some back and forth and tons of pictures and communication they admit that it's a failed panel and they tell you that they will make an 'accommodation' for you. This accommodation is You can give them $1,000 MORE for the 2025 version of this television. So now you've paid $3000 for the first TV in 2024 and in 2025 they will give you the new model of this TV for $1000. So now you've actually paid $4,000 for the newer version that isn't even as good as the one you bought in 2024. Makes 0 sense right. So you actually have now paid more than the TV's worth in 15 months...so they are actually making money off you.
However, I was still stupid enough to say hey I'll do it, because the dead red pixel makes me insane when I see it in someone's face while I'm watching television. You can never unsee it! Ever!
But I said ok I'll put the broken pixel one in the basement for the kids and then it gets better. When I called back to make this decision that I was going to pay another $1000 for the newer version to stop this never unseen dead, bright, red pixel crazy that I can't unsee I was then told another one.... I'm told I have to send the 2024 TV back to them too. So now they actually get $4,000 plus your old 2024 TV. So you actually pay $4,000 for the TV that you can buy in the store right now for $2,200. This is all within 17 months. And Sony going to fix the red dead pixel in your return and sell that TV too to make even more money, so this is nothing but a scam! Sony should be ashamed.
The biggest problem, I was talked into leaving Samsung and going to Sony by the Best Buy employee because the picture was better and at the time I believed it because the picture was amazing, but with the durability issues and Samsung standing behind their products I now wish I never met that employee. I would have a just as good Samsung TV, that I can't tell the difference anyways, and a company that stands by their products. I will never go back and I will return to Samsung.
I had a problem one time with Samsung and they sent a person to my house to fix it no issues whatsoever and it was 5.5 months out of warranty.
When you have an issue with a television at a 17 months, that is supposed to be your flagship television, that costs $3,000, you fix it for the customer. No questions asked. Especially when you have a new to Sony customer, who loves TVs. And then you know you have dead pixels after a year and a half you also know you have durability issues.
Sony stand behind your products and be better because you lost a customer because I had bought a second Sony TV a few weeks before this happened and I actually returned it.
Sony can't be trusted. I explained it to the customer service agent who actually said he understood everything I was saying and it didn't seem right, but somehow they wouldn't let me keep my other television so that at least I had some part of it for the extra $1,000. They said sir this is an accommodation, your TV is out of warranty.
We are not talking about a $700 TV that was 3 years old we're are talking about a $3,000 television that started off at $3,500 and is your #1 TV and was broken at 17 months. Thats wild. How can anyone trust Sony after this? I'm sorry I can't. I should have been able to keep my television and upgrade to the new one to fix the problem or just come out and fix the problem. BUT now we are here.

Hi Trevor,
We appreciate the 5-star rating and we're glad to hear that you like the picture color quality of the TV for your gaming experience. Our flagship OLED TV powered by Cognitive Processor XR brings out our widest color and definitive contrast. For movies, games and more, everything is a deeply immersive experience in 4K QD-OLED. The QD-OLED panel reduces the effects of glare and reflection from daylight and room light so you can see images clearly in even dark scenes. And with Acoustic Surface Audio+, sound comes directly from the right place in the scene. Far more immersive than conventional TVs where sound comes from beneath the screen. Thank you for choosing Sony and we hope you enjoy your TV from here on out. Have a great day!
-David
