Long time LG user who took the leap and converted over to Sony for the 77" upgrade. If you're wrestling with the idea of spending the extra money, I would 100% recommend it. Google TV OS is fantastic, and I really enjoy the Sony Bravia Core app.

Bought a 77 A95L, as it is an upgrade from my LG 65 B7, however I think this is more hype then substance. Not blown away, but its audio is great and picture quality isnt as vibrant as I expected being qd oled. All in all, I think I would have gone with a G3 and saved the 1000. Also, the bravia cam is not that easy to setup. Operating system is a lot faster than my C2. Its not a bad TV, it may just take some getting used to.

This is overall the best OLED TV I've owned, especially when it comes to picture quality. I will say the upscaling is a little disappointing. I'm upgrading from the Samsung s95b, and honestly the upscaling is very similar. My s95b is 65in while I have the Sony in 77inches so that could account for some of the loss in upscaling performance that I was expecting to see. The depth, clarity and motion on this tv are next level from anything else I've seen. The most noticeable upgrade that I see from this compared to any other OLED or even QD OLED is the HDR highlight placement, It's amazing how Sony is able to make those highlights pop. Overall the tv is really bright and is brighter than even my qn90B mini led tv. The other main drawback of this tv would be the lack of four HDMI 2.1 ports, of course there are work arounds for that if it would be an issue for you, but for most people it would not be an issue at all. Obviously you have to pay a premium for this tv, if you can afford it, I'd say without a doubt it's the tv to go for in 2023 and 2024!

Hi MrBayArea,
Great! We're truly happy that you like the stunning 4K HDR picture quality and overall features of the TV. At Sony we strive to put forward the best possible products for our customers. It sounds like we hit the mark with the A95L. We're also thrilled to hear you feel the Master Series A95L QD-OLED is the best TV that you've owned. Your feedback regarding the available HDMI ports and upscaling performance is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated.
Whatever the content or source, images are upscaled close to 4K. XR 4K Upscaling accesses a vast database to intelligently recreate lost texture and detail. To best enjoy the 4K features of your TV, we recommend using a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable(s) that supports speeds of 18 Gbps or better. To display a picture from a device connected to the HDMI input terminal in a higher quality HDMI format, make sure that you have enabled the Enhanced Format setting on the TV.
Our brightest and widest range of shades and hues, complimented by pure black, all beautifully displayed on a QD-OLED screen powered by Cognitive Processor XR. Hear true immersive cinematic audio with sound produced from the entire screen delivering an elevated sound stage and clear dialogue. Thank you so much for all your inputs. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Amazing TV. Liveds up to being the best TV out

Amazing TV. Best TV out at this time.
It lives up with its reputation. It may be pricey but it is worth it.
It has amazing features such as controlling the TV using hand gestures and Google voice response. Add on the fact that it is Alexa-friendly, you hardly ever have to use the remote control or the actually TV to run the TV.
If you need to use the remote, that is an even better and more versatile option. The way that the TV is set up for setting is amazing and so much can be done to set the TV just like you want.
No problem handling Dolby Vision(which by the way Samsung TV can't handle). It can also do IMAX enhanced. It has a special setting for Netflix which allows Netflix content to be custom enhanced for the best viewing for that content,
Sound-wise, it's pretty good sound system alone, but with a sound bar, it is amazing. I used a Samsung-soundbar and it works with that great. Once it plugged into the eARC HDMI, the TV handles the soundbar very well. Dobly Atmos is great.
I also run a PS5 and well duh, this TV is built to optimize how good gaming sounds and looks. With the PS5 Pro scheduled to come out in a month, I can only imagine how this TV will be able to handle the upgrades this Pro will bring.
The only thing that I can see is a drawback is that it only have 2 HDMI 2.1 slots and one is the eARC. That mean you are a little limited on that, but there are plenty of ways to get a splitter or other means to deal with this. I only use the PS5 and any other input doesn't need 2.1 so it's not a problem for me, but if you need a lot of 2.1 slots that could be a deal-breaker for you. But then again many other TVs don't have many more 2.1 slots.
Overall, again, it lives up to the reputation it has as the best TV out there right now, It is expensive, but worth it. I got the 77' but I was considering the 65' which i think is just as good, but I decide to splurge a little for the bigger screen and it was well worth it.

The most color accurate TV ever! I picked this up from Best Buy on Black Friday and it has been the best TV that I have ever had. Shadow details are not murky. It is plenty bright. And the color accuracy is perfect. Requires little to no calibration. Coupled with a 4K Dolby Vision or HDR movie, this feels like a cinematic experience every time I turn the TV on and tune in. Sony rarely misses when it comes to TVs. Pricey, yes, but like the old adage says, you get what you pay for. I ended up returning an LG G5 for this one and I haven't looked back.

Switching from Samsung to the Sony A95L was the best decision I’ve made. The picture quality is stunning, with vivid colors, deep blacks, and exceptional brightness that brings movies and games to life. The panel makes every scene incredibly immersive, and the built-in sound quality is surprisingly good, though pairing it with a home theater system takes it to another level.
The Google TV interface is smooth and intuitive, offering fast access to all my favorite streaming apps. As a gamer, the HDR and low input lag make my PS5 games look and feel incredible. The sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my space. Coming from years of loyalty to Samsung, the Sony A95L has completely won me over. It’s easily the best TV I’ve ever owned.

I've been watching this T.V. for 3 months. Excellent picture, color and sound. I have a 65" A90J in another room so I can't see them side by side. I really can't tell the difference in picture or sound. This is noticeably brighter plus the 77" is quite a bit larger. In my opinion the extra brightness is not worth the $5,400 I paid when the A90J is also just about perfect. Beside the bit of buyer's remorse that I have, my only complaint is that it has no cable management in back! I have to use tie wraps to keep all the cables under control. Also, no Prime video calibrate mode like it is supposed to have.

Great potential. But honestly very disappointing. I tried really hard to like this TV but there were so many issues. 1 missing 4 HDMI 2.1 ports which at this price is terrible. 2. There was something wrong with my HDMI ports where there would be feedback every time I play anything from my soundbar with Dolby atmos. There were pulsating sounds with any kind of background music. 3. The screen does horribly when there is any scenic panning. You’ll notice the actor standing with the background changing behind him and everything is fragmenting. Not sure if it’s just my TV based on the positive reviews but I wont be buying a Sony this year. Hopefully 2024 will be better. The reason I’m giving 3 stars is at least its got a good picture and brightness is so much better then my much older oled.

This is the best TV I've ever owned. The way it handles specular highlights and color separation is incredible. I originally had the Samsung s95c but I didn't like the way over saturated colors and clarity of the picture. It also kept loosing the connection when playing my game systems. I then had the lg g3 wich was great but i noticed the brighter it pushed,the colors started to look washed out. The Sony takes the best from both tv's. Colors are vibrant without being over saturated on faces while maintaining great white brightness. The only downside is the price. That being said, I would still recommend this TV to anyone!!

I’m conflicted. This is the best tv that I’ve ever owned. It has fantastic color reproduction and color depth, is bright although daytime brightness is a bit lacking. Gaming is nice but again I feel like the gaming mode brightness is either auto dimming or throttling. For movies and tv, though, which is my primary use case it looks phenomenal. I generally use Dolby bright for most content that I can match on.
The major con for me, however, is that the TV died after 7 months of use, and the parts are unavailable to fix it until after the holiday. I owned an A95K for 4 years without issue and upgraded to this set, so I am disappointed that it couldn’t make it that far. Additionally, I think that the LG G5 probably offers more complete value with better price and with calibration can achieve similar numbers.
Overall I’d give 5 stars in 2023 (when it came out, the competition wasn’t as good) but in 2025 I would def go for the G5 especially for the price.
