QD-OLED is the largest leap in panel tech history, went from 76% to 90%+ bt2020 color gamut coverage with infinite contrast and led level brightness, it's pretty much the pinnacle of display technology, yes it is more than worth the premium considering most thought this would be an $8,000 tv before they started releasing the prices, the only remotely comparable tv to this one is the Samsung S95B prior to it's most recent update, it's capable of even higher brightness than the A95K with any of the older updates, but Sony's processing, addition of Dolby Vision, and heatsink that allow for crazy long term peak brightness levels, easily justifying it's extra $1000 over the S95B, but if you want to save money, get the S95B and it will still easily destroy any mini-LED or OLED tv on the market
It doesn't have LCD level brightness, it's just a bit brighter than previous OLEDs. Every year people say the new LCDs have OLED blacks and the new OLEDs have LCD brightness. It's never true, and still isn't this year.
The S95B isn’t really better than the QN95B or QN900B. I’ve seen them all in action next to each other in multiple environments. Sure it has some advantages but overall it’s Samsung’s third best tv of the year. I haven’t seen the Sony one though, perhaps it’s much better. On top of that - the QD-OLED isn’t even available above 65 inches. And that’s too small for many people’s best tv.
I purchased the LG 65C1 last year and since then have regretted not going QD-OLED or Mini LED because on a 65" display, glare and sun and is so noticeable. There are so many times that the display is just not bright enough. The image quality, responsiveness and contrast are exceptional, but based on other reviews I've seen, this display seems to address most of my complaints about my current C1.
@@RobertK1993 majority of the people would disagree with this quote it's apples to oranges on that situation. Both are great TVs and let us not forget those panels are still coming from LG. We just have to hope LG continues to innovate on their technology.
@@RobertK1993 That's just not true. Like I said, there are things I don't like about the C1 but when the lighting in my living room is well controlled the image quality, pixel response, HDR, and contrast are second to absolutely nothing else I have ever experienced.
I’m going to wait a bit longer to choose my next set. Not sure about how well the Sony will handle gaming yet. LG’s G2 is my current pick but I’m impressed with the brightness and colour of this set. I would hope Sony can sort gaming out with their so called processing expertise when you consider how much extra you’re paying for their TVs
Hey keep posting these great videos. Just a minor correction. Turning Auto Picture Mode ON only changes the Picture Mode automatically. All the on the fly/dynamic changes which happens on screen depends upon the settings one has chosen within that particular mode. So you can have Auto Picture mode off and still see the dynamic changes if you have those settings enabled within the picture mode. Hope this helps. Cheers 👍🏼
@@jon4lakers really enjoyed this still watching it but. we were going to buy this tv but then we went with a a samsung 7k OLD because here was no review. Thanks for the review but now i wish i bought yours.
One other big factor for this Sony over the Samsung is the heatsink which allows Sony to decrease the aggressiveness of auto light protection as shown in HDTV test that initially the S95B reads higher nits and brightness but after 4 minutes during the same scene the A95K display remained much brighter and the Samsung got a lot darker. The heatsink also improves image retention times to be much faster in removing them albeit the Samsung does a good job of this as well. What this translates to me is that over the course of a long gaming session let's say in a basketball video game for example, you'll less likely notice any dimming from the Sony. It would be nice to see that actually tested out but either set with this new QD-OLED tech seems to slay the older WRGB (LG) tech. The main downside for this first generation is the lack of variation in sizes. If you want something bigger or smaller LG may still be the way to go for this year at least.
@@kjones3212 yeah I honestly do not understand how this is not a basic requirement for every TV, let alone the highest end ones. Everyone should be able to do HDR10, HDR10+, and DV at minimum. Why is every HDMI not a 2.1 port at this point either?
Great review as always! Thanks for the skill share promotion as well! I've been sold on Sony TVs but these past few years updated panels have really been making strides. Glad to hear they've kept quality at the center of their products.
As for burn in issues, I believe that sony said that these were the causes associated with that. * Content with black bars either on the top and bottom or the left and right sides of the screen, such as a letterboxed or 4:3 screen * Static images such as photos * Video games that might have static content in some part of the screen * On-screen menus, program guides, and channel logos * Static content from apps * On-screen tickers, such as those used for news and headlines
I went for the S95B and I'm more than satisfied with it. From the reviews I've seen so far it just isn't worth the extra premium for the Sony version. I'm sure that is a very good TV as well, I just never think I'd really notice a difference unless I had the two paired up side by side. My only worry before placing my order was if my panel was going to be crooked or not like some users have reported, but mine was straight as an arrow fortunately. The Q810B soundbar/woofer solution works pretty good as well.
near black uniformity (panel lottery) is another problem with WOLED. if you ask me this is more important than brightness which for a light controlled room was always bright enough. Useless camera and center speaker channel, who will even use this?
Haha what the hell is your screen name and why would you put that as your screen name? Also I think you're trying to make yourself feel better about your own TV. I mean the whole point of this TV is that it has quantum dots... But no need to try to make yourself feel better about your own TV. It's obviously still really nice and anybody should be satisfied with it. If someone has a nice TV and isn't looking to buy a new one, it's better to just wait for the price of this new one to come down anyway. Mostly I'm curious about what your screen name. Who are these self righteous moral hypocrites?
G2 is a beast probably best overall oled C2 isn’t too far behind and is cheaper though both excellent choices I would highly recommend either one I have both of them
A misconception people have is that all LCDs will be brighter than a standard OLED, that is true if you go for a flagship QLED or high end LCD TV. Mid range and low range are only about 300-400 nits with decent blacks on a VA and horrible blacks on IPS in that range. I’d either go for this, an LG OLED or a Samsung Neo QLED.
Not really true, you can pick up a tcl 6 series or even 5 series on sale with higher nits of brightness than that. Imo buying an OLED isn't worth it, I wouldn't want to stress or think about burn-in while im using it (might not happen a lot nowadays but its still a reality and OLEDs will degrade much quicker than a QD-OLED display, Alienware is so positive with QD-OLEDs that they're even offering a 3 year warranty with their QD-OLED monitor), would rather wait for QD OLED to go on sale and just get that since its better than an OLED in nearly every way.
Coming from a really bright Qled I can say it's not just about picture quality for gaming.going to OLED for gaming gives you so much more motion clarity.lcd is blurry,and don't get me started on the ghosting issues and local dimming inconstancies
Those higher numbers like 700-800 nits are only for very small highlights around 1-5% of the screen. OLED drops dramatically for any percentage beyond 20%. So a scene that has a bright room with sun shining through will look dim compared to any LCD TV more than a few hundred dollars. Peak brightness means nothing, its for companies to flex their marketing when you rarely see it in actual content. Even then it needs to be pitch black around the highlight to get that high. QD OLED is better now than WRGB OLED but still has a deficit in brightness for big parts on the screen
I'm not in the market for another TV for at least another 3 years. I have a C9 65inch which is amazing in the Den. The one thing that gets me with new TVs is the amount of HDMI 2.1 ports they have. All four of the HDMI ports on the C9 are 2.1. But only one for the new Sony?!?!? I don't get it.
Do a comparison with the a90j. Same processor and has a heart sink to prevent burn in. That's also why it gets brighter b than last year's model b is like to see if you can tell the difference.
If I understood Caleb Denison, you currently have a "Z" series from Sony, and are looking to replace it? Have you looked at the new Sony Z series - especially since they just went mini LED this year?
Thanks for the video Jon. Because of my bright room I’m going to choose between the A95K and the S95B. I always had Sony TV’s before so I hope the price goes down later this year. That’s absolutely a pro of the S95B. One question. It looks like the TV leans a bit backwards on the mount. Isn’t that a bit irritating?
Yes, QD-OLED has the potential to bed brighter than previous OLED panels; however, they are nowhere near as bright as the leading LED panels. Full stop.
Burn in issues resolved? Pixel shifting has been used on televisions since probably back in the plasma days. I have had three plasmas and two OLEDs. I always put on the burn-in protection features. However, I have burn in from gaming on my Sony a1E OLED. My concern is that the brighter these sets get the more opportunity arises for burn in. Especially with some people who really like to game and who will spend a lot of time on games like starfield and imagine the hours people will put into the next Grand theft Auto. My point is just to be careful and not think that burn in is something that cannot happen. Currently my main TV is an LG CX which I also game on and can say have not had any problems with. At this point. I am about to upgrade to a larger set at 77 in and even with the issue I had with the A1E I am still considering going for the A95L. I am just going to have to alter my usage.
The tv looks absolutely incredible...i bought an X95K back in May because i couldn't wait anymore for the A95K..wish i had had more patience, even though i love my X95K - the A95K would be even that much better - this would be my first choice if i could do it all over again....what made this review helpful was showing more than just demo modes
Kind of on edge between just going ahead and buying the a80j. As it seems to be the best value for a “super premium tv” or waiting and buying this. I just find it hard to believe that it can truly be worth an extra couple grand. But maybe?
The A80J will look very similar in most content. In the best HDR it will fall a little short on brightness on the highlights, but most movies are still mastered in P3 and many don't exceed 1000 nits, so not a huge difference. In the future that may change, but it will be many years before expanded colour spaces and higher brightness level content is common. As for gaming, you can pump up the colour and brightness and enjoy it on a QD-OLED today, assuming you're happy with an inaccurate image :) Probably the best part of QD-OLED for gaming, if you're buying a Sony, will be the reduced frequency of auto dimming that occurs on the A80J due to the static HUD elements.
When using something like an appletv i heard you dont get to experience "the sony image processing" because to the apple tv does some of the processing. And it is better to use the native Google tv to utilize the Sony processing, Is that true?
Brightness should correlate with reflection handling that could ruin experience if it is not good and I believe this is the case for this TV, it is something that was not covered in the review. The TV should have been placed in a room with windows. This environment can be easily created in a basement
In the market for a new TV. Looks like I’m in between cycles as the A95K is clearly the best but lacks the size I desire. Should I expect an 83” version next year or just settle for the A90J with no regrets?? Just sold my Sony XBR-75X940E which has served me well.
What is the source on the information that A95K is better than a reference display? That sounds just plain wrong. How could consumer grade TV be more accurate than the TVs that cost literally an order of magnitude more?
While playing HFW i can see a super thin line at the bottom of the screen while you character was moving is that something that happens in all the games or just that one?
Dude, I thought I was getting an actual review-this is more of a presentation; a feature’s video from a Sony sales agent. I got the same info when the Bravia lineup got introduced months ago.
With abl on,it is highly unlikely with today's oled tvs,they have pixel shift and heatsinks, you are safe to watch sport with auto dimming brightness on.
Same here, Han! Honestly I don’t mind this being new tech since it seems like just the next step in the OLED curve. Also if you buy from VALUE ELECTRONICS they will give you extra 4 years warranty free! For “new tech” But to me it’s the size. I’m really wanting 75+ for this purchase!
Sir Could you please make a comparison video between the LG C2 48" , Sony A95K 55", Samsung S95B 55" & the TCL C835 55"? The TCL would be the cheapest in India. LG will be more expensive than TCL. Samsung costlier than LG and Sony being the most expensive.
So your saying with the process of streaming from all these companies your telling me the picture quality is better than anything available right now better than blu ray ect because you can only get a picture so good from streaming.
This TV is the most future proof premium tv on the market. Sure you can go s95b and save some money but between the horrendous, forced firmware updates (and the lack of option on what firmware you can use) the unavoidable bent panels, lack of Dolby vision, forced tone mapping in hdr interfering with hgig, and poorly tracked pq. I’d say the a95k is worth every penny extra. For those worried about hdmi 2.1 ports, good hdmi2.1 switches are about as much as a controller for your console these days and support full 48gbps. It’s not that big of a deal. You get what you pay for with the Sony.
@@hanes2 i agree...but i was telling with regard to the video where it wasn't mentioned at all....btw Sony TV speakers have been very good and it can also act as a central channel for the home theater setup
@@dannyweiss9701 I wanted the z9d, but couldn't find a new one so I bought x940e which is the next best thing. Imagine a 6yr old tv that still hold its own when compare to modern Sony tv in terms of contrast and auto dimming? Well the z9k is the mini led with master drive. It's the modern equivalent of the z9d, which is the true flagship of all flagships. You can expect superb brightness (we are talking 2000-4000nits brightness), with 8k resolution, true color out of the box, super screen uniformity. It will make even the Sony A95k qd OLED's 1000 nit look dimm. Heck...even my x940e reaches around 1150 brightness. All I am saying is a lot of OLED fanboy like to exaggerate blooming effect of LED tv, but we are talking Sony flagship z9K, and it's no joke, so just keep an open mind when you come across one, take a look and experience it before brushing it off, otherwise you wouldn't know what you have been missing.
@@dannyweiss9701 I am not guessing you can go check out side by side comparison of z9k next to the A90J...not only is the OLED much dimmer it also has a bluish tint. I will send you the link when I find it. th-cam.com/video/jr4Fwlezgx8/w-d-xo.html
It does surprise me, that Sony, for all the good things it has on it’s TV’s, that they don’t have 4, 2.1 hdmi ports ???, it surly can’t cost more, as they have 2, 2.0 ones already there ???
@@addicz2, no I do not think everyone is a gamer, I’ve never gamed, period !! I was just curious ??, since there are a lot of other manufacturers who only put 2.1 hdmi, on their top of the line sets !! But !!!, it might stop someone who is a big time gamer, from buying a Sony !!!
@@DX88 Exactly. OLED should not need local dimming setting. Some says it is there because A95K uses the same firmware and chipset as X90J. rtings does not say what is the result of auto local dimming turned off.
Sony just need 2 features to make their TVs perfect for gaming 1 : 1440 resolution 2 : FPS counter i can’t believe it’s 2022 and i still can’t see the current FPS on Bravia tv when I’m playing PS5 games I can’t tell if I’m getting any benefits of vrr because there’s no way to see your FPS if it has dropped or increased on LG and Samsung TVs you can clearly see the current FPS and you can tell if you got any benefits of having vrr on or not that not the Case with Sony’s tv unfortunately

Currently my main TV is an LG CX which I also game on and can say have not had any problems with. At this point. I am about to upgrade to a larger set at 77 in and even with the issue I had with the A1E I am still considering going for the A95L. I am just going to have to alter my usage.
Is this dramatically better than the A90J? Is it worth the upgrade?
It’s new tech it’s definitely better
How was the sound quality with the TV speakers?
Am still using my 10 year old Full HD LG. My mind can't take the leap in technology.
The tv looks absolutely incredible...i bought an X95K back in May because i couldn't wait anymore for the A95K..wish i had had more patience, even though i love my X95K - the A95K would be even that much better - this would be my first choice if i could do it all over again....what made this review helpful was showing more than just demo modes
Kind of on edge between just going ahead and buying the a80j. As it seems to be the best value for a “super premium tv” or waiting and buying this. I just find it hard to believe that it can truly be worth an extra couple grand. But maybe?
The A80J will look very similar in most content. In the best HDR it will fall a little short on brightness on the highlights, but most movies are still mastered in P3 and many don't exceed 1000 nits, so not a huge difference. In the future that may change, but it will be many years before expanded colour spaces and higher brightness level content is common. As for gaming, you can pump up the colour and brightness and enjoy it on a QD-OLED today, assuming you're happy with an inaccurate image :) Probably the best part of QD-OLED for gaming, if you're buying a Sony, will be the reduced frequency of auto dimming that occurs on the A80J due to the static HUD elements.
@@Z4d0k thanks for the help. Really seems like the a80j is unbeatable value for a super nice tv right now
When using something like an appletv i heard you dont get to experience "the sony image processing" because to the apple tv does some of the processing. And it is better to use the native Google tv to utilize the Sony processing, Is that true?
Looks so beautiful!! But I’ll still take my TCL 65 inch 4K got from target Black Friday sale less than 2 years ago for only like $229
Ha ha ha I have 4 TCL Roku TVS and love each one of them
I have a 65 tcl Roku (2020) $650 Black Friday from Best buy
@@lonniechamberlain251 I have a 75 inch TCL Roku tv that I love too

@@michaelwyckoff7593 best all around budget tv for sure
Brightness should correlate with reflection handling that could ruin experience if it is not good and I believe this is the case for this TV, it is something that was not covered in the review. The TV should have been placed in a room with windows. This environment can be easily created in a basement
In the market for a new TV. Looks like I’m in between cycles as the A95K is clearly the best but lacks the size I desire. Should I expect an 83” version next year or just settle for the A90J with no regrets?? Just sold my Sony XBR-75X940E which has served me well.
Unless it's for a theater room, don't worry about size. 65 inches is good for basically any living room, and 55 inches should work anywhere else.
Fix burn in and this can be the end game solution for any and all screens moving forward
What is the source on the information that A95K is better than a reference display? That sounds just plain wrong. How could consumer grade TV be more accurate than the TVs that cost literally an order of magnitude more?
This TV isn’t even out yet, He didn’t mention where this TV came from.
Pretty sure he got it from Circuit City.
Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!!!!!!
Great review, thx
Great review 👍
What about the speakers?
While playing HFW i can see a super thin line at the bottom of the screen while you character was moving is that something that happens in all the games or just that one?
Would you say this tv is brighter than last years Sony a90j?? Anyone can you help
Dude, I thought I was getting an actual review-this is more of a presentation; a feature’s video from a Sony sales agent. I got the same info when the Bravia lineup got introduced months ago.
I have a question about a different tv. If i bought the lg c1 tv and watched tons of sports would it burn in?
With abl on,it is highly unlikely with today's oled tvs,they have pixel shift and heatsinks, you are safe to watch sport with auto dimming brightness on.
Nah. No issues.
I’m waiting for second generation … and I want something around 77”
I wish the sizes were bigger. If this was a 77 or 83" i'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Same here, Han! Honestly I don’t mind this being new tech since it seems like just the next step in the OLED curve. Also if you buy from VALUE ELECTRONICS they will give you extra 4 years warranty free! For “new tech”
But to me it’s the size. I’m really wanting 75+ for this purchase!
Genuinely curious, when did TVs begin to be called Sets?
During console tv's era. When the console tv broke, you "set" the new TV on it. 🤣😂
Can we get a comparison to the s95b?
Sir
Could you please make a comparison video between the LG C2 48" , Sony A95K 55", Samsung S95B 55" & the TCL C835 55"? The TCL would be the cheapest in India. LG will be more expensive than TCL. Samsung costlier than LG and Sony being the most expensive.
What is the video called at 0:37 ? Want to try it out on my TV
So your saying with the process of streaming from all these companies your telling me the picture quality is better than anything available right now better than blu ray ect because you can only get a picture so good from streaming.
I went with samsung 85in qled 2022
What is the model number of the remote?
This TV is the most future proof premium tv on the market. Sure you can go s95b and save some money but between the horrendous, forced firmware updates (and the lack of option on what firmware you can use) the unavoidable bent panels, lack of Dolby vision, forced tone mapping in hdr interfering with hgig, and poorly tracked pq. I’d say the a95k is worth every penny extra. For those worried about hdmi 2.1 ports, good hdmi2.1 switches are about as much as a controller for your console these days and support full 48gbps. It’s not that big of a deal. You get what you pay for with the Sony.
How are speakers.. you didn't mention it considering it's half of the tv watching experience???
If u want good speakers u always use external amp. It’s been the way for last 20+ years.
@@hanes2 i agree...but i was telling with regard to the video where it wasn't mentioned at all....btw Sony TV speakers have been very good and it can also act as a central channel for the home theater setup
@@rkr8959 same screen as speaker setup the past few years. Nothing new there. Sounds fine, get a soundbar.
what is the tv stand?
Deffo best tv of the year
Everything looks good except for the stand.
Is this TV out now?
Do QD OLED’s have burn in issues too?
Less than traditional WOLED, but its still there
Should I buy it? I still have the a1e
i like your cute introduction of this tv. cutie cutie cutie boy
FANTASTIC.
If LG G3 has no QD OLED panel it's a failure out of the gate in 2023
Can you wall mount it ? Any official bracket that come with it ?
Is anybody talking about power consumption?
No Dolby vision or lpcm support
Love the tv but that lip at the bottom would annoy me at 3 grand. Beautiful tv otherwise.
Could you please try and compare it to Sony’s own x95k with master drive which is supposed to give qd oled a run for its money
Z9k is the best
@@dannyweiss9701 I wanted the z9d, but couldn't find a new one so I bought x940e which is the next best thing. Imagine a 6yr old tv that still hold its own when compare to modern Sony tv in terms of contrast and auto dimming? Well the z9k is the mini led with master drive. It's the modern equivalent of the z9d, which is the true flagship of all flagships. You can expect superb brightness (we are talking 2000-4000nits brightness), with 8k resolution, true color out of the box, super screen uniformity. It will make even the Sony A95k qd OLED's 1000 nit look dimm. Heck...even my x940e reaches around 1150 brightness.
All I am saying is a lot of OLED fanboy like to exaggerate blooming effect of LED tv, but we are talking Sony flagship z9K, and it's no joke, so just keep an open mind when you come across one, take a look and experience it before brushing it off, otherwise you wouldn't know what you have been missing.
@@dannyweiss9701 I am not guessing you can go check out side by side comparison of z9k next to the A90J...not only is the OLED much dimmer it also has a bluish tint. I will send you the link when I find it.

Anybody has the 77, 82 inch LG G2? Just wondering if the motion & processing is good as Sony. I wish this tv was 77 inches.
Need 77 inch, so 2023 second gen for me
Same
It does surprise me, that Sony, for all the good things it has on it’s TV’s, that they don’t have 4, 2.1 hdmi ports ???, it surly can’t cost more, as they have 2, 2.0 ones already there ???
, and just what is it you need ???
And you think everyone are gamers? And I believe LG still cant read xFat and no DTS too
@@addicz2, no I do not think everyone is a gamer, I’ve never gamed, period !! I was just curious ??, since there are a lot of other manufacturers who only put 2.1 hdmi, on their top of the line sets !! But !!!, it might stop someone who is a big time gamer, from buying a Sony !!!
Hello! NICE channel. I'm your fan ＋👍🔔
rtings says it does not support local dimming when VRR is on even though it is OLED
Lol that's not how it works OLED is always local dimming because the leds turn off.
@@DX88 Exactly. OLED should not need local dimming setting. Some says it is there because A95K uses the same firmware and chipset as X90J. rtings does not say what is the result of auto local dimming turned off.
They’re completely wrong it doesn’t have a backlight so there is no local dimming to turn off
I thought that was a window or mirror behind you for too long
No dolby vision??😩😩😩☹️☹️☹️
I never eat that Dobby things
This man is insane that he isnt sold on oled lol....
For gamers, The S95B is the Best gaming TV you can buy.
Sony just need 2 features to make their TVs perfect for gaming
1 : 1440 resolution
2 : FPS counter i can’t believe it’s 2022 and i still can’t see the current FPS on Bravia tv when I’m playing PS5 games
I can’t tell if I’m getting any benefits of vrr because there’s no way to see your FPS if it has dropped or increased on LG and Samsung TVs you can clearly see the current FPS and you can tell if you got any benefits of having vrr on or not
that not the Case with Sony’s tv unfortunately
Sony is more for movie watching while the LG, Sammy are little bit more balanced in every area.
Very nice TV! Probably the best TV of 2022 however it's not worth the premium price tag. Way overpriced.
Just like all Sony stuff over the past decade
@@dheerajb1883 over the past century lol
@@dheerajb1883 How exactly
No it overpriced 3100 for QD OLED much same price as A90J OLED from last year Sony XR Processor is way better than Samsung Quantum Processor and LG Alpha Processor.
@@RobertK1993 $3000 for a 55" size it is overpriced compared to Samsung S95B QD-OLED at $2100, it may not have the same processor but it has the same panel Samsung makes.
Why are 8k tv taking so long to be affordable
The vivid option is the single worst choice. If you’re watching tv on vivid you have failed at life. I’m sorry but the truth must be told.
What do u recommend instead ?
Forget this A95k. Go for the Z9K. You can thank me later. You are welcome!
i'm still waiting sony to release an oled tv with more than two hdmi2.1 ports....
I love your review but I’d suggest talking a bit slower because some of your words are coming out slurred
