  • We tested the Sony A95L QD-OLED TV at Sony Europe's office in the UK, and measured HDR peak brightness plus input lag among other things, arriving at 12 findings:
    0:00 200% as bright as A95K!
    0:50 Hardware upgrade #1
    1:58 Hardware upgrade #2
    3:03 New accurate mode
    4:10 Overdue improvement #1
    5:12 Overdue improvement #2
    7:22 4K 120Hz Dolby Vision status
    8:38 Gaming improvement #1
    9:41 Same old same old...
    12:08 This looks so good!
    The sample we tested was the 65-inch Sony XR-65A95L, but we also saw the 55-inch BRAVIA XR-55A95L and the 77-inch XR-77A95L at the media briefing.

    You know Vincent, I really like how straight to the point you go from the start, I hate most of the intro from youtubers cause they talk like 2 or 3 min about things unnecessary, like they always start about something stupid as " today I will show you this product, I bought all kind of products from this brand before, this one I was not sure I need it... now I've been using for X month,... " and blabla DUDE WE DON'T CARE! Title is self explanatory already, there is no need to introduce the product, go straight to the point with your experience with it. Most of the youtubers still can't grasp this basic concept

      @@loki76You would be wrong. Vincent said the A95L measured 1349 Nits on a 10% window in its most accurate mode. My A95K measures 1000 Nits in that same window, and all panels vary, but nowhere near 200% more brightness, and that’s why they revised that statement.

    The 4K120Hz DV not being implemented on release makes me uneasy. Brings to mind the firmware update that A90J owners were promised “shortly after release” that would implement VRR. That took ages as well. Everything else about this tv sounds amazing and I’m definitely going to get a 65”!
    What I don’t understand is why Sony hasn’t implemented DV straight away? The Pentonic chipset supports it so what’s the issue? I’d really like a video on technical stuff like that.
    Also: I prefer G&T for calming down as well 😂

    Sony A95L 77" is listed as $9495 in Australia, G3, you can buy around $6500, S95C around similar mark. They might make nice TV's but not at those inflated prices in Australia.

      @RobertK1993 How are they supposed to sell at those prices? G3 and S95C, if you wait for sales, you can buy at almost 40%-50% less money, and G3 looks way better on the wall than Sony. Picture alone won't sell.

      Sony has always been the premium brand, they dominated last year with the A95k, Samsungs S95B was subpar in comparison, if people cant afford the A95L, they can always buy Sony's "lower end" OLEDs that feature the same XR processor - which in itself is leaps ahead of any other TVs cinematic processing. A95L is an enthusiast level TV, it isnt for your average joe who watches Married at first sight. I wouldn't even classify a G3 or S95C enthusiast grade, its more like high end. Its like buying an RTX 4090 vs a 4080, or a Lamborghini Aventador vs Lamborghini Hurucan. Also I agree with your Aussie comment, eveything in Australia thats bleeding edge is always a ripoff.

      @@BNR_248 I disagree with you, there is no substantial difference between A95K and S95B. You can fine tune S95B to look just as good as A95K. It is not always about the processor, other things matter, for example anti-reflective attributes, the thickness of the the TV, stand and wall brackets etc. Sony Does not tick all the boxes. Lower end Sony OLEDs are like shiny mirror surfaces, unless you watch in total darkness, unwatchable during day time with a bit of natural light. Sony are way overpriced in Australia, if the prices were the same as the USA market, they would have been worth considering. There is only a price difference of about $200 in USA whereas in Australia it is priced thousands more than a Samung or LG. They are not in a different league to LG or Samsung as you make it, they are not enthusiast grade, that is a lot of B.S.

Seems overly bright compared to other channels (including the BT Sports one it replaced) and destined to cause burn in. I have the A80J and it appears to trigger the full extent of its anti burn in technologies to severely dull the picture to compensate for it.

      Mediatek have been a disappointment Given that Sony after a few bios updates will have it going well - and Panasonic will have it mastered by next year to squeeze the most out - They won't use the 2000 - too expensive - and will think they will want to master the 1000 well across their range - being snappier is great - Panasonic when they use it should get better graduation , and control. Thankfully receivers now can do full bandwidth passthrough - shame Sony is so expensive in my country - but if they do a 83" QD-OLED next year - may bite the bullet - 1500nits is enough - 90% BT2020 is enough as little content beyond that - and colours still look great anyway on a Panasonic or G3 MLA - and unless sets side by side - you wouldn't know what you are missing and in 95% plus content -SDR and HDR - will look pretty much the same no matter MLA or QD-OLED

      I have concerns about the Pentonic 2000 SoCs.
      First, the marketing material shows that the Pentonic 2000 is aimed at 8K at 120 Hz displays, and does not mention the ability to drive 4K displays. Can it even drive 4K displays, and if it can, is it limited to 4K at 120 Hz instead of 4K at 144 Hz which the Pentonic 1000 can do?
      Second, are all 4 HDMI 2.1 ports mentioned in the Pentonic 2000’s marketing material full speed or not? The Pentonic 1000’s marketing material including its web page previously advertised “HDMI 2.1 x4” just like the Pentonic 2000’s marketing material including its web page is still doing. This is technically true since all 4 ports comply with the HDMI 2.1 standard, but that standard does not require that full HDMI 2.1 speed be implemented in order to be seen as compliant. However, this could be seen as a lie by omission by leaving out the fact that full 48 Gbps speed is not implemented. The Pentonic 1000’s website was revised to remove the “x4” to obscure the lie by omission once Vincent Teoh exposed the lie by omission in another video. MediaTek also complained that implementing 4 full speed HDMI 2.1 ports is impossible without a second chip. So does the Pentonic 2000 SoC implement 4 full speed HDMI 2.1 ports due to having enough room due to using TSMC’s smaller N7 process that promises smaller transistors that could possibly allow all HDMI inputs to implement all current HDMI 2.1 speeds, or are 2 HDMI inputs limited to HDMI 2.0 speeds?

Currently facing the problem that I'm running a Sony UHD Player and Apple TV that feature Dolby Vision and are currently on HDMI 3+4, the only HDMI inputs that feature the Dolby Vision setting. But I need them on 1/2 or 3, since my recently acquired PS5 supports 120Hz/VRR, which is only supported on HDMI 3+4. I'm pretty sure that HDMI 1+2 also could handle Dolby Vision protocol...
