2 things I didn’t mention in the video, ASBL dimming and input lag. 1) ASBL I didn’t see a being a factor in HDR I did a 7 minute dimming test in game mode and I didn’t notice a change in UI brightness. In SDR it does gradually decrease brightness but it isn’t too noticeable unless you go looking or your sensitive to this. I don’t see ASBL being any different than other QD OLED tv’s in the past for HDR. 2) Input lag is not a problem yes numbers are higher but unless you’re a competitive pro gamer on the pro circuit I wouldn’t even bother being concerned about it. It’s 16 ms in 60 about 8-9 in 120 this is fine for gaming latency, it’s not going to feel any different than any other TV realistically, I’ve tested it back with the A80J vs C1 and came to the same conclusion. Hope these answers help.
@@PedroMartins-yv1lv He literally pointed out flaws in the TV and issues. So this comment makes no sense. But not every concern has the same weighting. Input lag has less weighting when it is such a minor difference comapred to SDR brightness which IS and issue worth pointing out. See the difference?
@@michael-4k4000 if we are talking about upscaling, sharpness and depth is a lot more than 5%. Lg is brighter though, so it will depend on what you look for.
@@PedroMartins-yv1lvpixel response time is not the same as input lag… these are all OLEDS, pixel response is the same (near instant). As for 16ms of input lag vs 8ms, it really isn’t an issue for 99.99% of people.
@@PedroMartins-yv1lv Its a number that I feel has no real impact I don't ever talk about input latency on TVs because its meaningless for most people, its truly an arachaic measurable at a certain point it mattered when TVs had 60+ms of input latency but once TVs started getting lower than 20-30 ms that was good enough the realistic difference between 8ms and 16ms in terms of input lag is not huge that is all I am saying.
As tempting as it is I think the A80J is staying mounted for now but this might have to be one I pick up as the main TV to compare others to for live streams and stuff.
I'm assuming that the Reality Creation still has artifacting every couple of seconds, especially on fast moving content where alot of the image is changing over short periods. As good as it can look the artifacting is too much for me personally
@@wwolfram33 it was kinda weird, I had been on a when it's available list. So I look on my BB and it's available I go to the store and the guy looks it up and he's like no it's not available yet, so I show him my phone and he's like hmm.

Nice review but i was expecting to hear a word or two abt dimming in both hdr/sdr as there is no way a Sony oled wouldn't agressively dim when static logos/life bars/hud maps etc are on screen. How agressively is wht matters..
KG Remeber to let users know of the auto dimming issue in gaming for Sony tvs. This is something that should be addressed for any gamer buying Sony tvs. Sony still does not include a turn off option for the logo auto dimming which affects any games with health bars or icons. Big issue with my a90j hence why I don’t game on that tv. Other brands do include the option. Classy mentioned in his video that Sony was considering working on an option in the future.
@@TechWithKGhey KG, i think is still an issue on hdr or sdr and it’s maybe less noticeable on Samsung and LG as they both give an option to turn off auto logo dimming and Sony not implementing this even after feedback. In the video you did with classy it was mentioned and classy has several videos detailing this issue. I believe is significant to gamers and is a concern with Sony tvs. Although I can understand to some it may not matter. Either way is not a bad idea to mention it.
@@Bakerwar it’s almost like a 30% on the a90j. Maybe they toned it down some. Adding an option to choose the level or disable it would be consumer friendly. The other brands include it already and works great. Maybe In the future. Options don’t hurt.
I hope Sony does eventually get G Sync, Freesync, and 4 HDMI 2.1 ports like LG and Samsung does. But this tv would be great for movies and gaming either way
That's why I don't consider Sony TVs when I'm in the market for a new one. That's a deal breaker for me. I game on all platforms so I want to be able to use HDMI 2.1 features across the board.
@@chrisahmed8660 It's not hard, but it's rather annoying. Whenever I set up my consoles entertainment space, I don't want to have to change HDMI cables every time I want to use a different console. I have a gaming PC, PS5, and XSX so I needed a TV with 4x HDMI 2.1 ports.
If you want a TV just for movies then this is it hands down assuming you want the best. Now if you want a TV for both gaming and movies then I would go with the S95C which is way cheaper. You can't go wrong with the S90C as well. I have both the A80J plus S95B and love them off. I'm not looking to upgrade these until next year or two as I want TV tech to mature a little more to invest in a big purchase again. $5K for the 77" A95L is crazy when I only spent $2,100 on my 77" A80J. I know they're not the same tier but close enough. These QD-OLEDs need to go down in price imo. I think we need LG to embrace this tech as well.
@@BuzzSX my bad, auto correct put in S95C instead of S95B. I don't have any blackouts while gaming on that but I've heard of the issue on both the S90C and S95C.

The A95K has the game picture mode with VRR but it does not have the content type menu to choose between game modes you showed in the beginning of the video as far as I can see.

Compare movies and gaming with the qn90c and s90c. Please add in stills of real movies, I know you said some people don’t like it but it helps out customers so much. Thank you.
Of course this TV is great for Gaming as well. :P I think it is overblown to split "Pro" and "Casual" only because of some numbers on paper or some "Enhancers" which hurts the picture quality. The biggest advantage on the Sony is the much mre accurate Picture in Game Mode out of the box, which makes a way bigger difference imo. Because you see the Game how it was created. Which can make a difference in puzzles, details and so on. Imo Sony goes in the right direction with SDR Game Mode. Many people don´t "like" HDR and find it too dim, because they never saw a good picture. And they have no no idea what dynamic range is. They got used to wrong and overblown colors and brightness (at the end a flat picture). Sony stays in the SDR range for SDR. On top of that you avoid Burn In problems over long term. It only takes some time for our brain and eyes to get used to an accurate image.
I got my A95L last Sunday from Best Buy. Amazing picture. I been watching movies in IMAX from Bravia Core. I was blown away on how the movies look 👀. Coming from a LG G2. The A95L is definitely a huge upgrade 👍🏼
Bravia Core is pretty awesome I gotta make sure I bring that up as a pro in the review sometimes I think it’s overlooked, even I forget to mention it sometimes.
KG, will be buying a Sony A95K during Black Friday . Will I be able to use one of your affiliate links from a prior video you did with the A95K to help out the channel?
Big question KG. Classy said at the king of tv shootout after the results that when it comes to streaming on Apple tv, A95L has a "massive" jump in low bit rate compare to G3 & S95C. I would like the see the difference If you don't mind
Reality creation is meant for games like Alan Wake 2 which only runs at 1270p it really helps clean up the game to look sharp in comparison to any other tv the game would look soft.
I’m having a hard time buying this over the G3. Saw both in Best Buy and as great as it is idk that it’s 1000 better especially when you factor in the 5 year panel warranty.
@@brandoncarter2708 nah… processing isn’t as good as the G3 or A80L. I like the brightness and color volume but I watch a lot of streaming and need the extra processing
Yeah it is about the same 16ms in 60hz 8 in 120hz, I didn't talk about it because I don't think many will notice or feel a difference between a Samsung and LG with lower input latency its a massively overblown concern that only really competitive gamers should be worried about it because the feel of it and look of it really isn't any different I tried many different games.
Does sony image proceesing give better video quality when watching youtube videos? I heard sony A95L got the best image processing power compare to others.
Hey H2O, unfortunately the Sony TVs don't have low latency motion interpolation options you have to be outside of game mode to use motion settings (aside from BFI) and when your outside game mode using the motion interpolation this adds massive input latency. Your best bet for this is Samsung game motion plus as it is currently the only way to truly get low latency along with motion interpolation from consumer TVs, hope this helps!
Nice I loved oled but got burn in 2 times and I just couldn't take it any more so picked up the sony x93l and I'm loving it I notice some differnce from my oled but at upside no burn so I very pleased with the x93l
That one television i buying my first in the 4k dimension interessing video and interessing is sony bring with a patch the dolby vision gaming 120hz. That was so cool to see super mario world on the a95l the colours very interessing and the gaming was so clear. How is the quality to Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty FF7 Remake or Horizon Forbidden West or last of us part 1 ??
It's 16ms at 4k60fps, so one out of 60 frames. You aren't likely to notice a difference between this display and the competition. I certainly don't feel a difference between this set and my c1 in the game room.
I currently have the Sony A90j and I’m on the market for another tv since the A90j is now 2 almost 3 years old now. Should I get the A95L to replace the aging A90j?
Can you honestly say its $4,000 AUD better than the s95c 77 inch. What i find concerning is that i have an Xbox, ps5 and soundbar. I haven't had any dropouts yet
Its 16 ms in 60hz and 8 in 120hz I didn't talk about it because I don't think many will notice or feel a difference between a Samsung and LG with lower input latency & to me its an overblown concern that only really competitive gamers should be worried about. I tested two TVs side by side switching between deaths and I didn't feel like the lower input latency was helping me and when slowing video footage down theres no noticeable frame difference either.
I did,at first the gamemode isn’t as bright,tho if you stick it in filmmaker mode and turn on allm it’s way brighter than the s95b,needs some tankering tho,iv sent 2 g3s back with bad banding and considering waiting on the Sony drooping or take a chance on a 3rd g3,you would think lg would sort this shit in 2023
@@Imprisoned1995 yeah I would.only thing I hated and couldn’t live with longer with the sammy was the os,hated that thing every day.tho the pic was unreal.might wait till next year myself
“How likely is this?” Well guess that takes this tv out of consideration for me. I game on the three main consoles and use a Sonos arc for sound. Ugh….such a premium tv and they cheap out on the hdmi ports.
HDR I didn't notice any troubling issues there, SDR does have some gradual dimming over time but I doubt many will notice it unless you go looking for it.
I still wouldn't buy an oled TV due to auto dimming. Not worth paying that much money for such a noticeable, but problem. FALD led's are still my fave by far
I have the A95K with XSX, PS5, and Sonos arc and use a little 2way hdmi2.1 splitter off Amazon with no issues for like 2 years. Full bandwidth signal can be switched by just pressing a button and the shit was like 20 bucks. It’s not that big a deal
for me it's enough, been on LG TV's always, but this one does the job all my settings are at standard presets, I lf HDR is looking bad it because game is a trash, and Starfield is one of them, I play few game's and usually in SDR sometimes HDR depends on the game.
A95L can't do Black Frame Insertion at 120hz. Also most OLEDs lose a lot of brightness when enabling BFI. But my X95K and likely X95L only loses about 50 nit when enabling Clearness 1 aka BFI which is almost imperceptible, AND they can do 120hz or 100hz BFI depending on the desktop refresh rate, also X95L supposedly can also do 60hz BFI which is good. I LOVE playing all types of side scrolling games on my PC now as long as the run at 120fps which is easy on my RTX 4090 because they remain sharp in panning motion thanks to the BFI. Also it's equally bright in SDR as in HDR. While I would live to have the local pixel contrast that OLED offers, I want my BFI and SDR without brightness drop. I guess we'll have to wait another couple of years before moving on from my 85" miniLED.
Samsungs S95C when pushed has the best HDR impact of any consumer television! Highlight placement has been amazing for all TVs this year the G3,S95C,A95L all did a good job but gaming with 2,000 nits is out of this world!! Also to have the option to use game motion plus makes all the difference for switch games!
@@TheAntifluencer Go up on size! Indeed hacked and been running a hacked S95B and both offer better HDR impact! Clarity and detail galore! Still no burn in and never will! Somehow I repeat the same comment on your repeated comment about a tv “YOU DO NOT OWN” yet you continue to choke on it! 😂🤣😂
Ehhhh I still wouldn’t recommend the Samsung or Lg for switch games as neither upscale in game mode. End up with real bad color banding and overly pixelated image. Sony still upscales to 4K in game mode and their smooth gradiation eliminates most color banding
@@walidhannaoui1802 Look at KGs video with switch gaming QD Oleds don’t have banding it’s non existent and no pasteurization and both LG and Samsung use A.I upscaling for games in game mode lol who told you it didn’t? It looks phenomenal!
DO NOT BUY a Sony tv if you have a avr that you hook everything up too and have a ps5 or Xbox you can only choose either having vrr and allm OR Dolby vision. Not both at the same time

Of course I am and ASBL for SDR is still something that happens but in HDR its not really any different than S90C G3 S95C.
Compare movies and gaming with the qn90c and s90c. Please add in stills of real movies, I know you said some people don’t like it but it helps out customers so much. Thank you.
It’s the tv for me, will be picking mine up tomorrow
As a PC gamer looking to combine a TV and monitor in one, I'm patiently waiting for Display Port 2.1 to take off so I can game at 4k 240hz
it wont be on a tv, well i doubt it anyway. lg or maybe samsung would be the likely candidate
Nothing is powerful enough to take advantage of Display port 2.1. 4K at 240hz is far to demanding for a 4090 and even a 5090 when it comes out.
@@ZackSNetwork i think the 5090 will make 4k 240hz gaming mainsteam in ~2 years (Fall 2025)
Of course this TV is great for Gaming as well. :P I think it is overblown to split "Pro" and "Casual" only because of some numbers on paper or some "Enhancers" which hurts the picture quality. The biggest advantage on the Sony is the much mre accurate Picture in Game Mode out of the box, which makes a way bigger difference imo. Because you see the Game how it was created. Which can make a difference in puzzles, details and so on.
Imo Sony goes in the right direction with SDR Game Mode. Many people don´t "like" HDR and find it too dim, because they never saw a good picture. And they have no no idea what dynamic range is. They got used to wrong and overblown colors and brightness (at the end a flat picture). Sony stays in the SDR range for SDR. On top of that you avoid Burn In problems over long term. It only takes some time for our brain and eyes to get used to an accurate image.
What I’m wondering is, when the update for Dolby vision gaming becomes available, will that make a difference when it comes to brightness/dimming?
Yeah it sucks ps5 don't have it, but series x does
it's out now
I got my A95L last Sunday from Best Buy. Amazing picture. I been watching movies in IMAX from Bravia Core. I was blown away on how the movies look 👀. Coming from a LG G2. The A95L is definitely a huge upgrade 👍🏼
Bravia Core is pretty awesome I gotta make sure I bring that up as a pro in the review sometimes I think it’s overlooked, even I forget to mention it sometimes.
I'm coming from the GX, looking forward to it
Bro how much was it
its shit that the tv has a feet at every end of the length of the tv. its to long for my furtniture then
@@jantjedewaalthe 77" can place the feet near the middle. The 55" and 65" can't due to the placement of the woofers.
KG, will be buying a Sony A95K during Black Friday . Will I be able to use one of your affiliate links from a prior video you did with the A95K to help out the channel?
Big question KG. Classy said at the king of tv shootout after the results that when it comes to streaming on Apple tv, A95L has a "massive" jump in low bit rate compare to G3 & S95C. I would like the see the difference If you don't mind
Great video bro!
Max Luv!
Reality creation is meant for games like Alan Wake 2 which only runs at 1270p it really helps clean up the game to look sharp in comparison to any other tv the game would look soft.
What about motion and picture interpolation
I know it's a lot to ask but can you test the 360 or PS3 on this TV? See how good the picture looks upscales and with HLG?
sony have best upscalers. major reason why i returned samsung and lg tvs back to shop
Another excellent well rounded video, very impressed.
I’m having a hard time buying this over the G3. Saw both in Best Buy and as great as it is idk that it’s 1000 better especially when you factor in the 5 year panel warranty.
Just get s90c
@@brandoncarter2708 nah… processing isn’t as good as the G3 or A80L. I like the brightness and color volume but I watch a lot of streaming and need the extra processing
Yo at 7:45 how are you getting into all those old Super Nintendo games? You playing that on a Switch?
Nintendo Switch Online
@@TechWithKG
Dang didn't know you could do that.
How much is online for switch?
@@aaron_aplin Like $20 a year i think
Hi @Tech with KG , how is the input lag? Is it the same as the a95k?
I noticed not a lot reviewers talked about that.
Yeah it is about the same 16ms in 60hz 8 in 120hz, I didn't talk about it because I don't think many will notice or feel a difference between a Samsung and LG with lower input latency its a massively overblown concern that only really competitive gamers should be worried about it because the feel of it and look of it really isn't any different I tried many different games.
@@TechWithKG No worries. I’m just trying to make myself feel better since I purchased the S90C. 😂
Thanks KG as always bro!
Does sony image proceesing give better video quality when watching youtube videos? I heard sony A95L got the best image processing power compare to others.
Absolutely
Thanks four this video . Greetings dj out Holland
My opinion is that the 77 LG G3 is over 2000€ cheaper than the Sony A95L in my country.
Which country do you live in...¿??
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@vijaykumarvc66 Greece
Yes i just got a 77inch g3 for $3300 the new a95 is $5000 $1700 diff
Hello KG… does this tv have motion interpolation options within game mode? This is crucial i think for games running sub 60..
From DUBAI with ❤
Hey H2O, unfortunately the Sony TVs don't have low latency motion interpolation options you have to be outside of game mode to use motion settings (aside from BFI) and when your outside game mode using the motion interpolation this adds massive input latency. Your best bet for this is Samsung game motion plus as it is currently the only way to truly get low latency along with motion interpolation from consumer TVs, hope this helps!
What is your hdr game modes peak brightness set to? You said 1,200 IF tone mapping is off, but what if it is on?
what about the input lag @4k120hz. Is it on the same level as the LG G3 or Samsung S95C?
9:30 and onwards, that entrance looks like real life. Wtffff
What did you set your hdr calibrations to on consoles?
What size A95L did you get?
Nice I loved oled but got burn in 2 times and I just couldn't take it any more so picked up the sony x93l and I'm loving it I notice some differnce from my oled but at upside no burn so I very pleased with the x93l
I never experienced burn out before. What the hell did you do?
which soundbar is the best pair for this tv loudest plus bass? the Sony soundbars with 2 subwoofers paired ??
If i have a95k should i upgrade?
no
How do the internal apps perform? Video quality. Thanks.
Subscribed and liked 👍🏼
Thank you
Sounds like a winner KG! Nice video. KG would you pick this tv over the LG for 1080p hd stuff like shows and sport?
Absolutely
Thanks bud
That one television i buying my first in the 4k dimension interessing video and interessing is sony bring with a patch the dolby vision gaming 120hz. That was so cool to see super mario world on the a95l the colours very interessing and the gaming was so clear. How is the quality to Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty FF7 Remake or Horizon Forbidden West or last of us part 1 ??
Great vid. Quick question. How would you say the input lag is for playing fighters like SF, Tekken and so on compared to the S90/5c?
It's 16ms at 4k60fps, so one out of 60 frames. You aren't likely to notice a difference between this display and the competition. I certainly don't feel a difference between this set and my c1 in the game room.
s90c best for gaming
bad for film and netflix
Re SDR brightness. Try changing the actual games video brightness setting in the Video games menu👍
Its default is medium. Idk why he didn’t change it to high.
The input problem is solved for me with the new astros a50x headset
I cant get mine to work through the usb port.
if you use black adjust adv contrast & live colour on sony tv the imput lag is higher
I currently have the Sony A90j and I’m on the market for another tv since the A90j is now 2 almost 3 years old now. Should I get the A95L to replace the aging A90j?
If you want to yes or wait tell next year for the new version in 2024.
what about a95l vs s90c? Is the picture quality really that different? I think the lack of 4 hdmi 2.1 ports on the a95l would be a problem for me.
A95L is next level.
I have the lg g3 oled its fantastic for gaming not the a95l pop but I saved 1000$ the G series is legit
Thinking of buying an qn95b 65inch, (qn95c is 2,5x more expenive)
Any sugestions for it?
KG did you personally have S95C dropouts on XBOX or PS? Thanks.
Only experienced the dropout issue once
Can you honestly say its $4,000 AUD better than the s95c 77 inch. What i find concerning is that i have an Xbox, ps5 and soundbar. I haven't had any dropouts yet
You didn't even mention the input lag which is pretty important to gaming? I have the Samsung and it's 9ms which is great! how does this compare?
Its 16 ms in 60hz and 8 in 120hz I didn't talk about it because I don't think many will notice or feel a difference between a Samsung and LG with lower input latency & to me its an overblown concern that only really competitive gamers should be worried about. I tested two TVs side by side switching between deaths and I didn't feel like the lower input latency was helping me and when slowing video footage down theres no noticeable frame difference either.
@@TechWithKG Thanks 👍 so I shouldn't notice a difference from 9 ms to 16 ms then?
@@Bernard_Rea Realistically no I highly doubt it.
i have a 75 samsung q9fn and i noticed that every time i turn game mode on, it hurts the picture quality. is it the same with the a95l?
Would you upgrade from a S95B to the G3? I can't afford this Sony. Thanks
I did,at first the gamemode isn’t as bright,tho if you stick it in filmmaker mode and turn on allm it’s way brighter than the s95b,needs some tankering tho,iv sent 2 g3s back with bad banding and considering waiting on the Sony drooping or take a chance on a 3rd g3,you would think lg would sort this shit in 2023
@deeceltic18881 I'm going to stay with the S95B. I'll see what the 2023 tvs bring. Maybe they'll sort it out with the G4.
Nope definitely wouldn’t S95B holds its own still
@@Imprisoned1995 yeah I would.only thing I hated and couldn’t live with longer with the sammy was the os,hated that thing every day.tho the pic was unreal.might wait till next year myself
bro its 1 year old, just chill and enjoy your tv, itll be 3-5 years for anything meaningfully better.
“How likely is this?”
Well guess that takes this tv out of consideration for me. I game on the three main consoles and use a Sonos arc for sound. Ugh….such a premium tv and they cheap out on the hdmi ports.
is black adjust adv contrast & live colour good or bad for sony tv on ps5
It’s a preference setting you just have to try it some like it some don’t
My 77A95L is underway🥂
Sweet. Thank you. 🎉
A95l has FTDA feature like LG?
What’s FTDA?
@@TechWithKG fine tune dark area
Please share detal about ASBL funcionality
HDR I didn't notice any troubling issues there, SDR does have some gradual dimming over time but I doubt many will notice it unless you go looking for it.
I still wouldn't buy an oled TV due to auto dimming. Not worth paying that much money for such a noticeable, but problem. FALD led's are still my fave by far
Will this get 120Hz Dolby Vision Gaming for the Xbox Series X?
yes with a future firmware update
Want one, but smaller, but they only offer the big size here 😢
I loves me some reality creation
I have the A95L and game on it with a PC and an xbox series x and nintendo switch - forget the LG and samsung. nothing beats the sony
Yo KG😊
I have the A95K with XSX, PS5, and Sonos arc and use a little 2way hdmi2.1 splitter off Amazon with no issues for like 2 years. Full bandwidth signal can be switched by just pressing a button and the shit was like 20 bucks. It’s not that big a deal
Great video KG as always...but gosh man we suck this year (Broncos)...hopefully the Nuggets will pick our spirits up lol
thanks yeah 😔 we are awful this year
for me it's enough, been on LG TV's always, but this one does the job all my settings are at standard presets, I lf HDR is looking bad it because game is a trash, and Starfield is one of them, I play few game's and usually in SDR sometimes HDR depends on the game.
For Console gamers A95L is the best
Would you take it over lg g3?
@@ozzyowusu5990yes, because 30fps on G3 looks trash.
Series X is on par with ps5. I think you meant series-S
All consoles are using lower resolution at times to make sure the game hits the right performance.
Absolutely not lol Series S same power PS4 Pro
A95L can't do Black Frame Insertion at 120hz. Also most OLEDs lose a lot of brightness when enabling BFI. But my X95K and likely X95L only loses about 50 nit when enabling Clearness 1 aka BFI which is almost imperceptible, AND they can do 120hz or 100hz BFI depending on the desktop refresh rate, also X95L supposedly can also do 60hz BFI which is good. I LOVE playing all types of side scrolling games on my PC now as long as the run at 120fps which is easy on my RTX 4090 because they remain sharp in panning motion thanks to the BFI. Also it's equally bright in SDR as in HDR. While I would live to have the local pixel contrast that OLED offers, I want my BFI and SDR without brightness drop. I guess we'll have to wait another couple of years before moving on from my 85" miniLED.
Samsungs S95C when pushed has the best HDR impact of any consumer television! Highlight placement has been amazing for all TVs this year the G3,S95C,A95L all did a good job but gaming with 2,000 nits is out of this world!! Also to have the option to use game motion plus makes all the difference for switch games!
@@TheAntifluencer Go up on size! Indeed hacked and been running a hacked S95B and both offer better HDR impact! Clarity and detail galore! Still no burn in and never will! Somehow I repeat the same comment on your repeated comment about a tv “YOU DO NOT OWN” yet you continue to choke on it! 😂🤣😂
Ehhhh I still wouldn’t recommend the Samsung or Lg for switch games as neither upscale in game mode. End up with real bad color banding and overly pixelated image. Sony still upscales to 4K in game mode and their smooth gradiation eliminates most color banding
@@walidhannaoui1802 Look at KGs video with switch gaming QD Oleds don’t have banding it’s non existent and no pasteurization and both LG and Samsung use A.I upscaling for games in game mode lol who told you it didn’t? It looks phenomenal!
Well gaming tv just lg and samaung. Sony is too expensive for gaming.
A95L the best tv. SONY TOP 1!!!
Found it!!
$4000+ TV doesn't support 1440p resolution
tv's dont do 2k. its a gaming format for pc gaming only. no real 2k content,
Thanks
DO NOT BUY a Sony tv if you have a avr that you hook everything up too and have a ps5 or Xbox you can only choose either having vrr and allm OR Dolby vision. Not both at the same time
A95L got Gotham nights looking like a blassic
Still HDR is not a industry standard SDR is still king

Sony a95l vs x95l 🙄
No complain from my C9 😊
I wouldn't be able to game on this TV..
4:13
some troll on Reddit is saying that lots of people are returning their A95L’s due to banding…be careful out here OLED community because there is lots of hate and resentment out here..it was a LG fanboy too…
Tv is dull.
Upgrading content is poor.
Buy LED, guys.
