Q: QuestionWhat’s the difference from this model to the XR55A80L?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi Steve, Thank you for your inquiry! The main difference between the two models is the backlighting. The A80L uses the same OLED backlighting technology throughout the entire line up while the A95L uses Quantum Dot OLED technology making the A95L the premium QD-OLED on the market. In regards to the difference in picture quality, the A95L produces the brightest OLED picture that Sony manufactures but the dark images would be very similar to the A80L. With A80L TV, exceptional OLED picture and rich sound in perfect harmony, powered by the intelligent Cognitive Processor XR™. Billions of accurate colors and pure black make everything you watch and play come to life with natural hues and shades. Acoustic Surface Audio+™ turns the entire screen into a multi-channel speaker that follows the action on screen for a truly immersive viewing experience. And with the A95L, watching TV from the sides is truly satisfying. Our QD-OLED panel on the A95L keeps luminance constant for consistent colors across all viewing angles. Our brightest and widest range of colors and hues, all beautifully displayed on a QD-OLED screen powered by the intelligent Cognitive Processor XR. Hear true immersive cinematic audio with sound produced from the entire screen delivering an elevated sound stage and clear dialogue. Focus on the big picture with our minimalist design that fuses screen and bezel into a single slate. Hope this helps! Regards, SamAnswered by SonyListens
Q: QuestionHow far apart are leg options on 55inch SONY A95L? ( For resting on a cabinet)(2 answers)
A: AnswerHi Bill, Thank you for your question! The distance between the TV stand/legs of the XR55A95L is approximately 48”1/4 inch (1223 mm) for both standard and soundbar position. Hope this helps! 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. Regards, SamAnswered by SonyListens
Q: QuestionHow do you do a search function on this TV(2 answers)
A: AnswerYou can hold the google assist button on the remote and say "ok google" and then what you want to search. There is also a hands free option where you say ok google and the tv picks it up. Make sure the switch is turned on behind the tv and complete the setting in settings on the tv.Answered by MoiseM
- A: AnswerHi Thomas, Thank you for your inquiry! We do not recommend using a third-party TV stand as we cannot guarantee its stability and may cause the TV set to topple over, fall down, and cause personal injury or damage to the TV. As an alternative option, you can mount the TV to a wall using a suitable Wall-Mount Bracket (not supplied). The XR55A95L supports a VESA wall-mount hole pattern of 11 13/16 x 11 13/16 (300 × 300 mm). Hope this helps!

A: AnswerHi Susan, Thank you for your inquiry! Yes! The Sony A95L supports Hulu + Live TV.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this model and the XR-55A95K?(3 answers)
A: AnswerNot much. The L version is brighter due to the next generation qd oled panel but both have a great picture. Once you get to use the tv it is very easy to move around with the installed software. Both models have many applications that can be downloaded. Once the application is loaded it is accessible on your Home Screen. myself prefer the L version due to its brightness but whatever you select I do not think you will be disappointed.Answered by JimD

Top-Notch Visuals with Small Quirks
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.

Sony A95L 55"
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.

This OD-Oled is fire, with one exception!!!
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!
