Sony X95L Mini-LED TV Review | Best LCD TV Ever?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- We expected great things from the Sony X95L, but we didn't expect them to be this great. In this Sony X95L 4K mini-LED TV (Model: XR85X95L) review, we dive into what makes this TV special. The mini-LED backlight system plays a role, but a smaller role than you might think. Still, while the Sony X95L is an excellent LCD TV, it may not be the right choice for everyone. We dig into the most important details around this TV and debate whether it deserves a perfect 10 score.

Hey everyone! I gotta admit, there are several categories I just didn’t get to in this video - gaming, sound, panel uniformity - but Inwill cover those in the VS. video coming out soon! So stay tuned and get subscribed if you aren’t already. Even more info coming. But, at the end of the day - the picture performance is exactly as I said. Hope you guys enjoyed this review!
Thanks for the awesome review!
I'm on board with the Sony processing and quality now... Will you be able to do a X95L vs X93L and/or X90L comparison?
No 55" or 65" X95L 👎
ehhh you can only do so much. And its already a 20min video! LOL.....just fyi thanks for having a variety of content. Gets tiresome when everyone uses the same content, and same color palette and skin tones. Shows like Luke Cage/Daredevil/Punisher and LUTHER are great shows with good videography.
Thanks for the review Caleb! At 13:30 there appears to be quite a bit of blooming. Was it less evident in real life?
@@SnaJKirE I thought my tv was broke. HAHA
If Sony could get the same panel tech, and same picture quality at smaller TV size, while keeping the cost down. I think the Sony Mini-LED range could opens up a whole new market.
those people at sony wanted easy life, thinking once size fits all is all US people wanted.
Unfortunately that's not the case with the price. So, it will be the Samsung QN90C for me.
that would increase the price, of course with tech it will get smaller and smaller but if you try to force it now then have fun being beta testers.
@@MGrey-qb5xzwe are beta testers of oled now. I hated mine. Dim and dark.
Excellent section at 13:00 on how you now gauge the HDR nit count. Really appreciate that level of detail for those who are interested, especially "showing", not just explaining.
Let's go , X95L is the way of all LCD TV's, love this video, Caleb I love your review's .
Love your channel Caleb. You do a great job reviewing and you approach this in an easy to follow way. Well done!
I have the 65' X95L and its a BEAST. I am watching all my favourite movies again in 4K. What an incredible Beast of an TV. No way that any OLED is better than this. ( burn in risk, brightness level, vivid colours ) etc....
OLED will always have better, more vivid colours. They do burn in and not get as bright though
The burn in can be an issue, but there have so many generations of OLEDs, they have that issue covered well.
Oh no I promise OLED is better and QD or MLA OLED is even better than that. It's something you don't realize until you get an OLED. Our eyes only know what we show them. It's like thinking 77 inches is big until you go to 85 inches. And then thinking 85 inches is big until you go to 100 inches.
Got it in 65 too. Decided to get a Sonos Arc instead of Sony soundbar. Loving seeing my fave 4Ks again. Looks so good
Could you tell me if this TV supports Dolby Vision Gaming @ 4k/120Hz when using an Xbox Series X?
Great review Caleb! Very entertaining and informative content! Is it possible for a future review of the new Sharp Aqous XLED mini led tv? Possibly also comparing the Sharp vs the Sony? If any one can challenge Sony for picture processing it's gotta be Sharp as they make they're own processors don't they?
I own this set after finally seeing a worthy and true successor to the Sony 75Z9D. This set has been a revelation in the picture that I've gone back to my library to rewatch older reference titles. It has a jaw dropping picture and I personally think (my opinion of course) that it has a more exciting picture presentation than any OLED out there.
You've compared it side by side to a G3 77"?
@@samstone2007ER.... He's a buyer, not a reviewer
@@samstone2007 I haven't but someone on the X95L owners forum on AVS Forum has both sets. He said the only upside is HDR specular highlights on the G3 but he prefers everything else on the X95L. You're welcome to ask and maybe he can answer some of your questions. He also calibrated both sets himself if I remember correctly and he said the X95L gives you pretty much everything the G3 gives you but it does better with black shadow detail and the Sony processing just adds more realism to the picture. Needless to say he said both sets are fantastic but he finds he is always more impressed with the X95L than the G3.
Edit: that's right he said HDR content looks so nice on really bright colors where the G3 loses it's color on the high end because of the inherent technology with WRGB OLED subpixel structure. So bright colors keep their color saturation on 85X95L vs. losing some color as colors get brighter. I know QD-OLED has remedied this issue since it uses a more traditional RGB subpixel but it doesn't come in sizes higher than 77" at the moment. QD-OLED also has other new issues to contend with.
Finally an owner who took his hats off to a modern MINI LED-LCD tv. What do you think of the Samsung QN800C though?
@@samstone2007 LG? 😄
Thank you Caleb..... My old ZD9 has broke down this past week and this looks like the next TV that I shall be purchasing. Great Reassuring Review. Kind Regards from Mark UK
Thx Caleb; informative and engaging review…as always. How’s the anti reflective glare on the tv?
Thanks for the review. What is the tv stand you are using?
Many thanks for your awesome review, Caleb. You never disappoint. Can you tell us, when you're gonna drop the review for the A95L? I'm really looking forward to it 😊
The review we have all been waiting for ! Thank you :D
Great review, will be my next tv.
I saw the X95L next to a G3 and was quite impressed. OLED gives you more of a three-dimensional look and is more punchy and vivid. On the other hand the X95L looks very pleasent to the eye with a more natural or mat look. It has this cinema kind of look which fits perfectly to a 85 inch TV. Comparing it to an A95L 77 inch it is no easy choice here. The QD OLED is smaller and way more expensive and still has some ABL and ASBL issues you don't get with the X95L. I think this TV is the real deal for all cinema lovers and they shouldn't get OLED FOMO here. Sony will win the shootout this year in both categories, OLED and MINI LED... :)
A95L in 77' comes with £6000 price tag over here in UK. That is around $7500. X95L 85' is around $5000, I wouldn't exactly say 'not an easy choice' to be honest. I can't possibly justify 50% price difference even thought I am yet to see A95L in person. It should be out next week and I can't wait to see it. Still, £6000 is way too much in my view. Give it a month or two and it will drop to £5000 if not more as it will simply not be able to compete with LG when it comes with pricing.
The only pity is that the matrix on the Sony X95L is not honest 10bit, but 8bit + FRС
@@MotokentFalse
@@fabrized Unfortunately dude it's true, starting in 2021 Sony is putting 10 bit matrices only in OLED panels, you may not believe me but it's SO true!
Thank you Caleb, and congrats! for the awesome reviews👌 I leave in 🇬🇷 Greece and here we get the 75" X95L which I consider as a BF purchase. I confirmed the other day at the store that SONY uses VA panels on their 75" X95L just like the 85" in 🇺🇸 Are you aware of any other differences regarding the smaller panel sizes outside of US?
Just went all in on my A95L 65, arriving this Thursday, first OLED for me, super excited.
Have you gotten it yet
@brightoskar9469 Sure did, it was delivered on time from Best Buy!
Same man I just got the A95L this past weekend. Seeing OLEDs in store is one thing, but having one in your place really is something else
@JonathanAcevedo13 Nice, congrats! It really is just a different experience once you have it set up in your home. I had some trial and errors as I got use to mine but just make sure when you turn your tv off for the day, it's off for about 7 hours to allow it to do panel refresh.
I wasn't doing that and one of my games UI was on my screen permanently. I thought I had the dreaded burn in effect after just a couple of weeks. I did a force restart to make it do a panel refresh on start up and it was back to perfect. If you're stepping away for just a short time, there are screen savers but instead I click the option to turn my display off while the tv is still on. You can add it to your menu bar.
@@masterchief9005 Didn't know about that, much appreciated on the tip! It definitely is off for at least 7 hours at the end of the day, but I'm definitely gonna start using the display off button if I just step away from a have for a bit and leave it running
I just purchased that TV today. Sony X95L 85" on sale around $3,568. Can't wait to get it delivered next week! 😁
Would you mind saying where you purchased???
Just bought the 85” x95l and I’m really looking forward to it. I could only see the 65” at the store but it looked great!
OMG that last bit on QD-OLED tripping me up! Love it and hate it for not being able to make up my mind.
Great video! (as usual). I love everything about the x95l but the price. Is there any other mini-led tv's you can recommend that aren't quite as expensive.
Yes: The Samsung QN90C in 85" is WAY cheaper....like $2400. That's what I'm buying this year.
Outstanding review Caleb of this extraordinary TV! You are confirming what Brian of Tech Therapy and Robert Zhan of Value Electronics has said about the X95L...As a matter of fact they say it out performs the super expensive ($10,000 😳) Sony Z9K in multiple areas! Sure wish I could see it in person before I purchase but no-one is showing it here in the Midwest 😢... CONGRATULATIONS on your studio...😊
Interested to see how this compares to the TCL X955
I get that people have their favorite TV brands and I'm sure LG and Samsung are fine TVs but I just love Sony's overall user interface and implementation of Android TV
I'd love to see a video on the Sony x95l 85" vs the Sony a95l 77".
The X95L is a Mini-LED TV that offers excellent brightness and contrast, while the A95L is an OLED TV that offers perfect blacks and infinite contrast.
Agree! Caleb - I would love to see this comparative review video as I am wavering between the two and need your help. Cheers!
Love your reviews! How would you compare the A95l to the X95l? Would love to see a video of pros and cons with those two since they are closer to the same price.
You are right about that. I have half a mind of buying both
The Sony A95L OLED TV is a high-end TV that offers stunning picture quality. It has a QD-OLED panel that produces perfect blacks, infinite contrast, and a wide color gamut. The A95L also has a powerful Cognitive Processor XR™ that upscales content to near-4K quality.
Excellent review! Thanks!
Looks good. I'm thinking mini Led will last longer than oled?
Wow!!! What a great review! From other reviews, I knew this was a great TV, but hearing it from you, it clinches it for me! This is the only non QD-OLED I would even consider getting. The off axis viewing looks amazing! Sony processing and upscaling is also great, and the XR Clear Image is a feature I wish I had on my A95K, the best TV I have ever had and which I just love. However, 85 inches is just too large for my space, so (Darn!) it will have to be a 77 inch A95L for me!!🥰 I really appreciate your LED primer as well as the detailed NIT Nerd section. In puhticular, you make learning fun and interesting. And your humor is always welcome and enjoyable! Great, great job!!
Axis.
NOT access.

Lol!! I guess DT unhearted my comment. Oh well!! I will need to process this! Oh the rejection! Ha ha! Although I have to say that is a bit cold.
@@LeezahBIf you edit a comment, TH-cam automatically unlikes it because they consider it a new comment.

Can't wait to see how this compares to the LG G3 and the top-of-the-line qd-oleds
I suppose so but I think folks will be comparing oleds with other oleds and mini led with other mini led
Likely this will be compared to qm8, u8k, QN95C etc
thank you, just bought one with $800 off. thank you for this review
Bought the 75X95L yesterday.
Glad I saw your review today.

When are you expecting to review the new Vizio quantum pro and the u7k? As well as the U6K vs tcl q6?
Will they release in 75” eventually ?? Very surprised it is only available in 85” size.
Thanks for another excellent video Vincent! Just curious. Do you think the X95L is better than the X95K? Thanks again. Love your vids!
Yes it's better few improvements over the x95k
The Sony X95L is a better TV than the X95K. It has a more powerful processor, a brighter backlight, and a higher native contrast ratio. If you are looking for the best possible picture quality, then the X95L is the better choice. However, if you are on a budget, then the X95K is still a great TV.
I wound up with the X93L Just didnt have room for the 85 inch. Went with the 75 inch. I couldnt even find the x95L in 75 inch. Super happy with the 93L. Stunning picture quality.
Hi Caleb,
I'm looking into this TV and the X93L in 85", but I'm stuck on which one to choose. It'll be used primarily/90% for gaming with the PS5. Is the X95L worth the hundreds more in price over the X93L, and would I notice the image quality difference when gaming? Thanks!
Love the new real world HDR peak brightness test 👍
Please do a side by side video with the x90l and the x93l. Thank you
Well here I am about to watch your review of the Sony X95L on my new X95L largely due to the reviews you do. (Also because I broke my old TV): I really have to thank you for all your hard work! I might have bought a lesser TV if it wasn't for the reviews you do. Love this TV.
I never expected LCD TV's to get this far. But they have.
Sony already had LCD TVs as reference TVs 2 decades ago
@@Q_QQ_Q - nobody cares. This A95L is available for consumers
@8020Alive ?? The tv reviewed was the X95L you know...🤔
@@8020Alivescreenburn? While watching news and sport channels?
The way Sony pushes their limits on LCDs year after year always impresses me
Nice review as usual, unfortunately in my neck of the woods this model will not be a popular one, like you said size and price.
Caleb x95k or x95l whats your thoughts is it worth the extra for the x95l thanks joe
Nice video keep up the good work
Caleb, I love ya, I'm a huge fan and a nitnerd and a friend of Q, B, Classy, KG. That being said this review and most of your recent reviews seem to be 75% explanation of your process, explanation of miniled is OLED is, QD-OLED is etc etc etc. People want to see the product content on the product, the nitnerd stuff, your opinion and overall review. All of which was like the last minutes of this 20 min video. Can we just cut some of the explanation of everything? I'm not gonna measure the nits, the buyers aren't gonna measure the nits, we don't need to know how you measured the nits. 😂thanks
These TVs are out of stock EVERYWHERE. Lucky you! Even Sony, itself, is out of stock. I tried buying the x95l through Amazon about a month ago. I waited for the delivery guy to show up and it was a no show. I called Amazon and they confirmed the TV was ordered but they said they’re supplier does not have any I stock. I waited a week or two and ended up cancelling the order. I am checking the web sites twice a day and I cannot wait for these to be in stock again.
What would be your opinion on the best 4K TV for a budget of $2000
You should mension the reflection handling on this TV This was the reason I returned it because as soon as u open the curtains' day time screen goes into vertical grey zebra bars across screen and this happens even without direct light on screen
Why is it not available in smaller sizes and how does it compare to the X93L and X90L.
how does this X95L come pair to the X900H for tv and gaming? I bought the X900H a few years back and i have had no problems at all It's been a great tv.
I’ve seen the 65” version over in the UK, and it’s just beautiful to behold.
It's so unfair the USA only has the 85"... like seriously why?!
@@SaithusX I dunno 🤷🏽♂️
Is it as good as the 85”??
@@SaithusX it is but it probably means we will get it next year - hopefully.
Ive got it it's amazing tv best Qled tv of the year
That’s great, but the pricing drives you towards OLED and the best bang for the buck is the Hisense U8K at $1499 for a 75” Screen.
Thanks for the wrap up. Just regarding what you said in "Drawbacks" about the sizes smaller than the 85" don't use the same panel and the performance isn't quite as premium". Would you be able to point me to documentation or video that describes these differences? I was looking at the specs on the sony-asia website comparing the different sizes but the specs don't seem to differ from model to model.
Thanks!
The 65” has a contrast ratio without local dimming of about ~2100:1 while the 85” has it of ~5000:1. This mainly means 2 things:
1- Blooming is twice as noticeable on the smaller version because of less than half the contrast of the 85”. Light will bleed in the blacks a lot more but even more in the dark greys..
2- micro contrast is defined by the panel and, even if local dimming makes a great job at producing a contrasty image, you can’t get inky black small details if the image is all bright. Just think about a snowy landscape image with small dark bisons in the far distance. Since the image needs to be bright you can’t have any led dimming cause bisons are too small compared to the mini leds and you would lose brightness on the snow, while the bisons will be displayed as a dark grey, not black.
@@lorywlf hey Lorenzo. I have scoured the internet far and wide and even called Sony and could not find any information regarding the smaller sizes of this model having different specs at in all in regards to contrast ratio. Apparently all of the sizes have the same panel and level of performance. Where are you getting your information from regarding the differences in contrast ratio between different sizes?
Great review! Been waiting for this one. Would you say that the price premium over the X93L (about $500 on the 85 inch) is worth it?
I have the 75“ version of the X95L (in Germany) and I totally agree: it IS the best LED TV…! No DSE, no vignetting, no vertical banding and barely noticeable blooming - also perfect motion handling (no low frame rate problems) and swift OS….
Whereas OLED's have: lower fullscreen, larger highlight, and SDR brightness. Auto Brightness Limiter (ABL) making the screen even dimmer half the time. Many hoops both you and the TV have to jump through in order to stave off burn in. Even without burn in there's still natural organic-pixel degradation. For the new QD tech there's Quantom dot activation from ambient light making some of the blacks more grey, which takes away some of the almighty infinite contrast. Also there's alot more black crush on OLED's than you'd think (google it for more info). And all that - for not having a bit of blooming and a bit better colour range? No contest imo. This review is potentially *the* biggest and most important, though he said that apparently outside of the US the the other X95L's are using a different panel? i'd be *very* interested to find out what the differences are in performance...
@@whiskizyo2067 So….what‘s your point…? 😵💫 I‘m talking about the X95L, not the A95L… I have an LED TV, not an OLED….so I don’t have all the problems you’ve mentioned…. Maybe you addressed your post to the wrong person…. 😏
@TS-uy9we He was essentially saying your TV is great and OLEDs suck. Has a very strong opinion about it.
@@MFRiley He a little confused but he got the spirit haha. Also opinion isn't really all that strong, just mainly stating (alot of) facts in a comparison.
What do you think of the black levels when watching at night time? I’m really interested in this tv but coming from Oled tvs I’m not sure if I would be satisfied with the blacks??
Quick question: What is the panel used for 65X95L and 75X95L?
Bought one for 1.4k from Costco I can honestly say amazing tv, colours pop sound is very good compared to my old Sony 9/10 65" of pure tech
Hows the edge yellowing/ bleeding on moving objects against darker background from the mini led ld being on
Caleb: This doesn't relate to the Sony QD-LED featured here but to the Hisense 100 inch mini-led tv. I've heard that the U8 model offered in USA is brighter than the U7 model offered for sale in Canada (The U8 is not offered for sale in Canada, I have NO IDEA why?). Would you let me know if this is true? I enjoy your video's and reviews.
It's a shame the X95L has such a drop off in picture quality for gaming, with such limited options for adjustment. It's clearly the best 85" for HDR media content, but the QN95C is far better as a gaming TV at just a slight step down for HDR content. Had to go with the QN95C, and have been very happy so far.
Whats wrong with gaming on x95l?! Coz I aswell saw some compare vs qn95c.
Can you advise wether a 95k is a great deal at £1599 would I be dissapointed with that purchase Caleb
Hey man, just letting you know the volume on your video is very low. are you trying to test our amplifiers? :) just compare this to i don't know jerry rig everything for example
Thank you for the review. I have 65 inch X95L (I live in Europe). Picture quality is great when watching high quality 60 fps content (mainly demos), but in my opinion this TV struggles with low frame rate motion (24,25,30 fps) no matter which motion settings I apply (I've tried several configurations). Motion is the most important part which is very often neglected in TV reviews...
Quick question. is the Europe 65 inch x95l the same as the us 65 inch x93l? I want to ship the x95l 75 inch from uk.
No, the X95L is available in Europe in three different sizes. It's the latest version.
@@milosz.mazurkiewicz Thanks a lot. What do you think of the 75 Inch? will it be good enough? I see you have noticed a problem with low frame rate motion. Is it that bad? I wanted the 77 inch QD-Oled but I'm scared of burn in.
Motion definitely needs to be figured out. Right now, companies are focused on brightness (and dimming zones for LEDs). Hopefully, motion handling is next. I don't think I'll buy another TV unless there are significant advances in motion handling. When I upgraded from a B9 to a C2, I was surprised that there wasn't much improvement in that area.
@@charltonhmumo6759the 75 is a good tv but slightly inferior to the 85. They have different panels. I have the 75 and wished I had gone with the 85 if only it was on sale.
SONY this TV is amazing. Please make something equivalent in 65 and 75 !!!
I don’t understand why the black bars are sometimes grey and pitch black on other content? Coming from an Oled tv I think this would bother me , it’s a shame because apart from that it looks like a great tv and at a very good price too
I saw the x93L at Best Buy, and the colors seemed to have an extra pop (unusual for Sony in my experience), and the picture quality was crisp. My eyes were drawn to it over nearby OLED TVs on display. i can only imagine how the x95l looks in person
in retail mode most if not all TVs show higher color saturation because that's part of what makes the wow factor when you see it in stores. the picture will look different outside that mode.
Did it look as strikingly vivid as Samsung?
Like @RealLifTech187 said, TVs in retail environments are all set to vivid mode (or whatever the brightest mode for that manufacturer is. That is why you have nuclear neon greens on Samsung TVs at retail. Sony typically has the most accurate vivid mode out of all of the brands, but it still isn't what you should be watching your TV on if you want good color.
I sell TVs as a part-time weekend job. Samsung knows what they are doing with their vivid mode. Many customers will buy for those oversaturated blown out colors.
On your opinion, is this tv or LG G3 the best one?
"I'm always back there in & out" 😂😂
connecting it with spdif and logitech z 906 multi-speakers system with its remote control to adjust the volume will be a possible way to enhance the sound quality, and moreover, it is cheaper than those soundbars.
Crazy talk taking this over any Oled in 2023. Sure its great but honestly QD Oled or G3 is where it's at.
hey, would you recommend this x95l 85“ or lg g2 83“?
can get both at roughly same price. thanks
Both the Sony X95L 85" and LG G2 83" are high-end TVs that offer excellent picture quality. However, they have different strengths and weaknesses that you should consider before making a decision.
The Sony X95L is a Mini-LED TV that offers excellent brightness and contrast. It also has a wide color gamut, which means that it can produce a wider range of colors than the LG G2. However, the X95L's backlight blooming can be noticeable in dark scenes. The LG G2 is an OLED TV that offers perfect blacks and infinite contrast. It also has a wide color gamut, and it is better at handling motion than the X95L. However, the LG G2 is not as bright as the X95L, and it is more susceptible to burn-in.
Has this particular set been fixed from the previous Sony Mini LED model that had blooming issues? im assuming this model is closer or better than Samsungs Flagship mini LED? if so..Im probably all in on a potential 98 to 100 inch model...if the price is right...98 inch tvs are starting to become more affordable...Would love to see Sony bring out a 98 inch mini LED...
Caleb, have you come across any 4k tv with 1,000 nits maxed sdr and 4,000 nits maxed hdr? I would also be interested in a 4k tv with all white colors and the full color spectrum with the same nits for sdr and hdr that I have mentioned. The full color white being 1,000 nits in sdr and 4,000 nits with hdr and the same thing applies with the full color spectrum at 1,000 nits with sdr and 4,000 nits with hdr. On my samsung 4k tv, I use the dynamic mode with hdr since it offers the brightest display with the most color saturation. I have backlight maxed out and local dimming at the lowest setting since there is no option to turn off local dimming. I try to make my tv the brightest as much as possible with the most color saturation as much as possible. Like a video game with all the sliders maxed out, I treat my tv and anything with a display with the sliders maxed out including my phone and laptop displays. Instead of going from 0 to 60, I go from 0 to the highest miles per hours that the fastest car can go but with display settings. I go overkill when it comes to display settings.
That unboxing part is like Honey I Shrunk The Caleb..
Great video Caleb as always. But yeah..youre right, 85 for me is waaay too big for our front room.
I wouldve appreciated you mentioning what the other cheaper smaller options were..

Sony X90L
@@damianhaber4890 I was thinking about that one..
The X95L 85" exists on the swedish market. Is it not the same?
I really wish this was sold in 65 inch size for the U.S. I would have been willing to replace one of my Oleds for it. 😢. Unfortunately, the X93L is not this TV.
Question: What is the difference in LG C2 models PUA and AUA? Does one use OLED technology and the other NanoCell? Please HELP
No, they're both still OLEDs. They're sold in different places. That's the big difference. As a tv, it's the same thing. Kind of like some of them have black backs and some have white backs. The name of the model is somewhat different but it's the same tv
Aren't there other sizes available? In Canada there are the 55 inch, 65 inch, & 77 inch offered.
whoa that is a pretty strong statement! I'm guessing that's not including the Sony Z9G MASTER Series 98" @ $70K. Or the LG 88" Signature Z2 8K @ $25K.
Is the LG Z2 that good??
I just looked and these are out of stock. They have an X93L is that one close in quality?
Finally! Thank you!
I've been waiting months for this.
I hope next year Sony won't be so late releasing their TVs.
Saving the best for last like the saying goes.
Będzie materiał z grami na X95L?
Old video now, but now I really like to see how ti compares to the Bravia 7 for us mortals since Bravia 9 is way our of my league. Wonder how good those 2 stack to each other.
And for some reason, they promote the Bravia 7 here with the same 22 bit tech as the Bravia 9, maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't the Bravia 7 use a different tech?
Excellent review...I'm in the UK with a price tag of $4k for the 75"
The 77" A95L is $7,500 in the UK are we getting ripped off or what ?
Hi Caleb. Really need your help with a brand new 85 X95L I just purchased. I know you mentioned that Netflix native on the tv is better than other Netflix platforms but I’m struggling with digital pixelation in the background and on the edges of people clothes when they move which is it there on the native tv app. I am using the latest Apple TV 4K please can you advise. I have video samples I am happy to share.
How is this compared to TCl x955, or is it not out yet? I was looking at the 98"
That’s like comparing Changan to Lexus.
I wish your TV reviews included performance of live sports like soccer / football. It’s very irritating when the ball travels across different backgrounds of the pitch and the advert boards and then just flickers to completely missed. That’s the performance I am concerned about
How does the Sony XR X93L compare to the Sony XR X95L? I have seen the Sony XR X 93L (65 inches) in the store and I really like it. This TV is about $3, 500 cheaper than the X95L and the 65 inches is a better fit for my living room. Is the 95L that much better than the X93L?
Yes. X95l has better contrast and black levels. Important difference is X95l has XR clear image which X93l does not have.
Between X95l and X93l, there is no comparison.
X95l is the best
What im curious about is if this model also has handshake issues like my old X950G
What is handshake issue?
Caleb, it seems that not only this particular Sony, but other TVs tend to have better panels/tech/specs for their larger TVs versus the smaller ones of the same model. For cost and other reasons, your site and most other reviewers only review the smaller (65") versions of modern TVs. I'm wondering if this becomes a bit of an apples vs oranges review then. So basically the question is how would this TV compare to the Samsung QN900C 85" or other flagships (in both model number and size) from other manufacturers? Thanks for the great reviews!
Why don’t they have a 98 version of this tv. I bought the 85QM8 and it looks like a 65 from my viewing distance. I wanna go with a X95L but it looks like I’m gonna have to wait to see what Sony has in store for next year. 😩
Why no any test or compare about miniled Panasonic MX950 ? Nobody did It ..
For which reason? Thanks ..
FYI, Rtings counted 864 zones, but good to know it's that hard to tell.
This is going to be my "TV to Own" when I move in a few months. If I have to deal with the frustration of moving etc, at least I can reward myself at the end! Hazzah! Thank you for a wonderful review and incentive!😀
YES!!!!!!!! finally a great TV at 85 inches thats quite affordable compared to the G3 83 inch OLED saving 2 grand LFG!!!!! IM READY for mine
Is the 8k version the same as this tv quality?
I was confused why I couldn’t find this on Best Buy until the very end of this video
Wait caleb, so so you think the grey letterbox issue with the house of dragons would be fixed if watching on a different source, physical media for example?
I've been a big fan of Sony for a long time. My first Sony tv (1978?) was a Trinitron CRT set with all manual controls. I've had other Sony models and avr's as well but I've never been a fan of their preminum pricing, and my budget for any new tv cuts off at 2K. For what Sony is asking I'm more than curious to see how many they sell. Forgot to mention another vintage Sony product and that is the GX10 ES stereo receiver(19897) that is powering my 4ohm Martin Logan Motion 15i speakers with 360w per channel. Yowza! The pricing for Sony products, in this day and age, just might put them out of business. As always thanks for the great videos.
They are selling like hotcakes. Considering size and price they are constantly on backorder and they sell out as soon as they restock. There are many happy 85X95L owners and we think it's the best TV ever created period. This is coming from a previous OLED owner and many owners made the jump from the OLED as well. They couldn't believe that LCD was capable of this picture quality.
@@LazyCrazyGuy thx for the reply. I think I'm biased toward my 2012 panny plasma still looking like it just came out of the box and impossible to part with . The other nice asset is that I occasionally use it as a space heater when it gets chilly 🥶
