Sony QD-OLED 77 inch BRAVIA XR A95L Series 4K Ultra HD TV: Smart Google TV BRAVIA Theater U Wireless Wearable TV Speaker

This TV replaces an older 60" plasma TV. The new TV is a 65" OLED with boosted brightness. The color is fantastic. It blows my old plasma TV away. I have never seen reds, oranges, yellows, greens and blues so vibrant before. You can also see subtle color differences between objects. Red on red doesn't blur into the larger object. It may be because I went from 1080p to 4k or because this TV can produce more colors. Whatever it is it just looks great. I have not seen any digital artifacts during fast motion. The only thing that I am not in love with is the operating system software. I have managed to get it stuck in an endless loop more than once. (Not sure if it is operator error or the operating system but the OS should not allow the user to do that.) I just changed the viewing source from antenna to an HDMI input source to get out of the loop. This TV is only a couple inches wider than my old 60" TV. This TV has a much narrower border around the screen. I did have to buy a vesa mount table stand because my table is not 5 feet wide. The included stand mounts at the extreme edges on the bottom of the TV. My table is only 30 inches wide and I did not want to buy new furniture. The new stand works great and the new TV fits perfectly in the same space as the old TV. The audio sounds good right from the screen. (This model uses the screen for speakers.) There is a noticeable delay in the video if you use an external audio video receiver for surround sound. Your AVR will need to be newer than my old Sony DE-885 so that you can program in an audio delay to get the lip sync corrected. I have to route all of my video devices into the TV first to let the TV sync the audio to the video. I then use the fiber optic output of the TV to send dolby digital audio to my AVR for surround sound 5.2.0. I will have to get a new AVR in the future. (My AVR doesn't have HDMI inputs so I can't use the eARC HDMI output from the TV yet.) Overall I love this TV. Now I have to buy newer 4k capable add-ons. All I have for now is a 4k joey with a Dish Network Hopper 3. There is not much 4k programming on Dish yet. Santa are you listening?

The picture quality of this TV is undisputedly stunning. I can sit slack-jawed in front of it and stare at almost any 4k content for hours and marvel at how gorgeous the picture is. But in other ways, Sony does some things in a very weird way that defy your expectations of how a smart company designs smart TVs. On almost every TV these days, there's a USB-2 port that is most often used to power a rear bias lighting strip that enhances viewing and reduces eyestrain. This TV has one too - but when you turn the TV off, power to that port will spring back to life, on and off, just for a few seconds, for several minutes after the TV is off. Then, hours later it will come on for a minute or so, then just an inexplicably go off. Why?? Why can't the USB port simply be powered off when the TV turns off like every other manufacturer's TV does? TCL TVs can set the timeout for USB power, and when it's off it's truly off and doesn't spring to life in the middle of the night. This appears to be a common problem amongst all Sony TVs. How difficult can this be to get right on a $3k device? (Answer - not at all difficult). Similarly with the LED power indicator on the front - it's on whenever the TV is plugged in, whether it's on or not. The LED is always there, and on. Other TVs have options to deal with this, but not this one. I covered it up as I am already quite aware whether or not there is power to my house. The back panel for the signal connections is located at the very bottom left of the TV, meaning that there is no room for cables to exit the back without being seen under the bottom edge when using the legs. When wall mounted, there is no easy channel to get HDMI/ethernet/etc cables into a wall or down a cable channel without a lot of serious 90 degree bending. Someone in the design department simply wasn't thinking about how to deal with the real world plethora of cables that have to come out of this thing. (The Sony HT-A7000 soundbar also has this problem, with HDMI cables exiting the back at different angles and locations, making a neat installation more difficult than it needs to be.) In addition, the huge size of the detachable panel cover makes it difficult to attach rear bias lighting LED strip to the outside back edge all around that lower corner. The power cable is not detachable, meaning you have to use an extension cord if it's not long enough. This is just weird - why not provide a standard AC jack like every other TV and let us use a power cord that works in our location instead of assuming that the 5 feet you gave us will always be perfect? Who thought this was a good idea? The Bravia camera on top is an ugly wart that serves no real purpose after setup. Mine is back in the box, and the TV looks much nicer without it. Maybe you need it for Zoom but not me. It looks expensive - can I get back the money I spent on it? No? (About Google TV OS, the less said the better. Disdain it, and get yourself an Apple ATV4K+ box. You will be a MUCH happier streamer. It's night-and-day easier to use, and you aren't constantly being pushed into the Google-sphere. I am not at all an Apple fanboi but the design and UI of this streaming device is far more sophisticated and operationally smooth than either a Google or Roku.) Kudos to Sony for a box design that allows for attaching the legs before completely removing the support styrofoam underneath, meaning you don't ever have to lay the panel down flat on its face or have someone hold the weight of it while you attach the legs. This makes it a lot easier to deal with a giant expensive device. Even if I'm going to mount a TV on the wall, as I will with this one, I always start out with it on the legs. This makes it easier to do initial testing, figure out where the VESA mount goes, how the cable routing will work, etc. The remote is made of aluminum, feels solid, and has an accelerometer that turns on the backlighting when you pick it up. This is very suave. The size of the remote is also smaller than previous Sony remotes which were uselessly too big. This is appreciated. There was a lot of apparent effort put into making the back of the TV appear with a consistent pattern across the entire back - little textured one inch squares. The detachable panel covers all line up and when everything is in place its a very consistent look. But it's totally useless - who looks at the back of their TV, ever? I don't care how beautiful or ugly the back panels are. Nobody cares. I'd rather it was an inconsistent mish-mash of ugly plastic thingies, if only the USB-2 port power would behave correctly and the cables were easier to route. Overall, this TV is certainly a major win. I'm very very happy so far, but there are just these little annoyances that would cost Sony nothing to deal with properly that make me wonder about how (or if) they think the consumer will be using it out here in the real world where very little resembles a Sony testing lab.

Let's just say it doesn't get any better. The color accuracy, black contrast, and responsiveness of this TV make it worth every dollar spent. I couldn't be happier for gaming, or moive haven't

First off - I had an issue with delivery and Amazon’s customer service is absolutely amazing. Quickly worked out the issue and I am extremely happy with the result! On the TV- my 10 year old LG OLED E6 died last weekend. I was immediately on the hunt for a new TV. Lots of websites had this Sony as the top TV in 2023/2024, and had the LG G5 and Samsung 90F ahead of this one. I was originally planning to get an LG C5 but wanted to see the differences in person. Found a place with them all in stock and shopped them out against each other. Two decisions to be made - 1st, is technology difference worth the price difference (brightness/color) between the LG C5 and G5. The answer is it’s immediately obvious seeing the picture quality difference in person. Next, is there a huge difference between 83 and 77 inch TVs? For me, the technology difference was worth it and the size difference between 77 and 83 wasn’t worth 2x the price. While we were looking and discussing my wife noticed the Sony. The Sony is noticeably better in person than the LG G5 in terms of color accuracy. I realize this comparison was in store, but next to each other skin tones and blues were noticeably better on the Sony. So we offered to purchase on the spot, and they refused to let us take it home in an SUV. Went home and Amazon had it delivered to the house for the same price. It’s now hooked up and hung on the wall. I am extremely impressed with the color accuracy, upscaling, and motion handling - it is all noticeably better than the LG TV it replaced. Reflections are muted - tilted the TV slightly down and zero problem whatsoever in a bright room. Remote is amazing - well built and feels good in the hand and controls the Apple TV too. It’s a monster upgrade from the E6 OLED. The size is immersive in our room, the colors popping and the brightness great in a bright room. I could not be happier with both Amazon and this Sony A95L!

I purchased this TV in September 2024. We had a fantastic viewing experience, excellent color, clarity, fidelity. The refresh rate and HDR are fantastic with the PS5pro. We went away to visit family in October 2025, and when we returned the TV had some type of electrical fault. It would not stay powered on for more than a few seconds. I don’t live close to a Sony authorized repair location, so I had a local repair person come and evaluate the TV. They went through the process of replacing components step-wise and ultimately came to the conclusion that there was a panel issue. I communicated this information to Sony: I was one month out of the window of the one year warranty. I explained the situation, and they agreed to honor the warranty! They arranged for in-home delivery of a new A95L, and they hauled away the old TV. The delivery individuals even mounted it, but I’m sure my wife slipped them a tip to do so. Production mistakes happen, but the way they dealt with this was above and beyond my expectations.

I hate this tv and it's the most expensive television I've ever purchased. Yes, the tv looks wonderful and I'm very please in that aspect. However, it took me over 4 hours to set up because the software exlerience is designened to sell ALL THE THINGS to me verses just making it a simple and great watching experience. My husband won't use it because he's not a strong tech person and be shouldn't need to be to watch his streaming services. I just attempted to connect my Xbox which resulted in another 2 hours of research troubleshooting. Remember when we used to connect the HDMI cord and the tv recognized the device right way?! Why in the world do I need to delete the external device cache to connect a device? AND all the things I researched didn't work. I finally unplugged the stupid thing and plugged it back in and for some reason it fixed the issue?! This is aggravating since the tv is brand new! Additionally things randomly stop working like my tv channel set up. Unplug system starts working again. Also the tv randomly glitches out and pulls up strange Bravia screens when I was in the middle of watching a show? Worst, most expensive and not worth the hassle tv ever. Oh I forgot, it also doesn't play nice with competitor apps like Apple TV - the features to enable this app usage was hiddennand not transparent. I don't give a crap about your competitor relationship, I do care that Sony designed the app to add a lot of friction connectioning a streaming service a pay for. Hate this tv!!!!!!!!!

The Sony A95L is without question the most capable TV of 2023. The picture quality is outstanding, with incredible contrast, high quality sound, and an incredible amount of versatility. The settings menu is vast and the color reproduction is nearly perfect, giving this model a level of "future proofing" that really sets it apart from any other product this year. However, the A95L does have some issues, specifically with Dolby Vision. The ideal dark room setting of "Dolby Vision Dark" has some banding issues and often can appear grainy on characters faces in dark scenes. On the opposite end of the spectrum "Dolby Vision Bright" can appear to turn reds a bit pink, again on the faces of characters. For internal apps, Dolby Vision (if available) is the setting that will appear. If you run apps via a PS5, appleTV, or streaming device set the mode to standard (input controls) to disable Dolby Vision and then run a custom setting you desire. You also can select HDR6, HDR10, and even a Sony specific Netflix calibrated mode. At this price point everything should be perfect. The set runs nearly 1000 dollars over the LGC3 and the Samsung S95C. If you can find a like new model I would recommend a purchase, if not the high end models from LG and Samsung may be worth a look.

I don't buy TVs often, but I do, it's a Sony. This TV works extremely well with an excellent picture. I can easily switch between using the TV speakers and my audio system, depending on what my needs are. The sound is good enough that I often use the TV speakers instead of the audio system, which cost so much more.
