The Sony A95L is the best tv I ever owned. I love all TVS, but this one is my favorite all-time TV.

Hey everyone. Thank you for the time you spent with me and watching my comparison videos. This is not my normal video but sometimes I just get in the moment and appreciate the tvs I have and feel like I should record and share those moments with you when I'm just home relaxing and appreciating what my tvs are capable. And I was in that moment here. I'm just observing and taking a step back to appreciate the Sony A95L. It's moments like this that will make you feel like it's all worth it. If you're a fan of getting the best tv entertainment experience that you can, the Sony is the tv get. The best thing is that this year, tv brands will try to beat this. and we all will win at the end. Thank you everyon. I hope to see you on the live stream coming up soon. I will let you all know when I figure out the time in advance.
Thank you for your consideration,support, and hanging in with me. if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be doing this. So thank you, thank you, and thank you. See you on the next one my people.

Great video and expresses our feelings exactly! I purchased my 77" A95L from Value Electronics and they have a promo that gives me $250. store credit that I used for Sony's HT-S2000 3.1ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar. I'll be adding the RS5 rear speakers and the SA0-SW5 subwoofer shortly to complete the system.

Your feelings are exactly how I feel since I got this tv 2 weeks ago! It’s best tv I ever had and I have had lots of them in the last 5 years! The picture looks unreal. Although I really wanted the 77 I couldn’t find it at my Best Buy so I settled for the 65 and I’m not disappointed at all. Especially since mine was clean and has no banding and no screen rash like others have gotten.

I feel the exact same way about my LG C1. I don't need QD-OLED or all that extra brightness. My C1 delivers stunning PQ and checks all the boxes of what I need in a tv. I will ride with it until it burns itself out and being that its only used for streaming movies ect I think it will last for a few years. By then I will be looking to go the projection route.

Wouldn’t be just for the brightness would be even more then the brightness would be the color QD OLED is truly next level GEN

Can you compare Dolby vision on a handful Dolby vision formatted shows? The A95L is brighter than suppose to be on Dolby vision dark with tone mapping off and was curious if the contrast looks better in G3 because of that scenario.

[@IntotheFurther.]

@@trewright1482It’s not the best gaming TV if the image it is displaying is not as good as Sonys. Image quality isn’t just about movies. It has a huge impact on gaming as well. The HDMI port is just another scapegoat issue people use to justify that they can’t afford the Tv. If you can’t afford it that’s ok. But the A95L is the better gaming TV due to its superb picture quality paired with all of the gaming specs that all other TVs have besides a couple of ports. With my connected soundbar I have 3 2.1 ports but I only need 1 for my PS5 and that’s all.

[@su6oi]

Only downside to the a95l is the packaging sony uses for them. You'd expect sony to add a protective film over the screen to protect it, but they only slap a styrofoam layer with some tape on top. I went through 2 models before I stopped trying to gamble my luck. This may be also partially an issue with qd-oled panel finishing, but the tvs easily get some irreversible fingerprint looking smudge marks that cannot be removed. I had the issue on both my brand new a95ls and saw more cases online of the same issue with the coating. Holding out til the G4, hoping LG can close the gap with processing and color gamut/color luminance

[@billtinnell2206]

​@@truerogue76Hey Savage. Totally agree. Got rid of my 5 year old flagship 75" Samsung Q9FN that was a 4 grand TV when it came out in 2018. AMAZZING TV. Thought these newer technology TVs were better. WRONG! My Q9FN still was just as nice as 90% of all this new stuff! Had to find out the hard way that ALL TVs look great when watching 4k material, and ALL TVs look like crap when viewing low bit content. You are wasting your money until EVERYTHING is shown in 4k or better and that is still years away None of these reviewers NEVER discuss what their TV looks like when watching low bit content. The key is to ONLY buy a Sony, Samsung, or LG in a middle tier model and you will be fine for 5 to 8 years. The name brands are MUCH better TVs also.

Very little 4K content to this day?🤔 You must be referring to broadcast TV, not the thousands of 4K Blu-ray, or ATV4K, Netflix Premium, and tons of other 4K formats available…😂 Also, my A95L upscaling for anything under 4K is unsurpassed by any other Oled out the box. Only my Denon X3800H upscales better from 4K to 8K, which adds even more detail, that’s why I run my Panasonic UB820, and ATV4K through it for stunning clarity…

[@504cool]

@@consumerreview2k Yean man. SOOOO after getting and eventually returning the S90/S95c (low bit rate content) and LG G3 (just felt like something was missing from the picture), I ended up finding a deal on a new A95L for $2999. I'd have to agree. I can safely say its the Best TV I've ever owned. However, its more of a subtle "The Best TV I've ever owned". It's like as opposed to looking at something on the S90c or G3 and having and wanting it be "more this or that", it just looks good from jump on the A95L. Low Bitrate (non 4K) content was a concern for me, on the A95L, it makes everything look good. It's not a miracle worker per say, lol, but it does the job well enough to not have a complaint. Brightness: I force Dolbyvision Bright on everything via AppleTV and found it as a good balance. It's bright enough, when it needs to be, no complaints. TV wise: I've also found that putting the AppleTV in the HDMI 2.1 slot produces an even better image in my opinion (I have my motion settings cranked up). I've had to sacrifice it and thus far only play my games at 60hz. Gaming wise, I've finally gotten everything the way I've wanted it (with the exception of 120hz) by cutting off reality creation and live color. Reality creation in gaming seemed to make the image muddy and turning off live color balanced out the image more (I do however use these within reason when watching TV). Overall I'm MUCH more satisfied with the purchase than I was with the G3 and S90/95c.

[@504cool]

@@consumerreview2k Thanks man. I bought an A95L in January. I posted a comment on it (or thought I did, but it wasn’t here when I checked back… guess I posted about it on another video somewhere lol). I agree with your vid man. My only gripe is Game Mode (1. You can’t really play this in a regular mode, PC Mode is fine, but doesn’t have any access to motion flow… cannot as in it’s more less unplayable due to lag. I didn’t have this issue on LG or Samsung when playing in Standard modes. The lack of 4 HDMI ports is also an issue, but I’ve made due. I came across a new 65 inch for $2999 on eBay. Based on my hopping over the past few years, I’m satisfied. I have no plans of buying anything new anytime soon. The next purchase will be an Apple Vision Pro 😆

[@davidross7255]

Hey thankyou so much for your content but I have a quick question for you? Have you tried LGs Super Resolution on medium with Sharpness on 23? Sonys sharpness cant be disabled completely where as LGs can.So if your not using LGs Super Resolution and Sharpness its not a fair comparison because one TV is using sharpening and one TV isnt. I believe that Sony is a great TV ( not $1500 better)but with LGs Sharpness features enabled it would be very close.

[@consumerreview2k]

@davidross7255. Hey thank you for the comment and checking out the video . I have had super resolution on. Don't notice an effect until you get to higher sharpness levels. Like you mentioned. 23 to 25 it seems like super resolution starts to kick in. But I notice halos around images too. I would rather personally keep super resolution off and sharpness on or around 4 and let the tv be natively processing the image on the g3 for me. Only because super resolution does not have as strong as an effect on 4k hdr content as far as bringing out fine details comapred to my A95L. For example the A95L can have reality creation off and still have fine details. With reality creation on even when on auto, it brings out more fine detail in many scenes too with also being able to manage the prevention of the small halos and outlines that can potentially come from over sharpening. I personally like the way the g3 looks better with low resolution off and sharpness up a little bit. I think it looks a little bit cleaner and clearer. It's just again my personal opinion. I do think that LG will make the g4 much more similar and hopefully even better compared to the A95L with there new A11 processor that promises up to a 70% graphics upgrade which is in a way related to things like super resolution. There new Ai picture pro seems similar to Sony's XR cognitive processor in those ways. And I have owned more LG Oled tvs compared to any Sony tvs in general. I've had the LG E7.2 cx models 65 and 77-inch, LG B2, G2 and now G3. I've owned for sony only 1 led tv from 2018, then the A95K and A95L. So I have a much longer ownership history woth LG TVS. There processing I think is actually better in some ways compared to the A95L. I think the motion handling is actually a tad bit better in the g3. I think the 3d pop looks better on the g3.

@@consumerreview2k When you go to the A95L after using the G3, is it super apparent how flat the picture looks in comparison?

[@consumerreview2k]

It is definitely more noticeable on the G3 more than it is on the A95L. But it does come with the sacrifice of black crush. For example. The G3 has the best-looking 3D POP, in my opinion, then any other tv I ever owned. And I have owned a stupid amount of tvs. But it does come with some loss of shadow details. The A95L is not flat. It also has 3d pop. But what's nice about the A95L is that the processing is so good that it can still have that 3d pop without the loss of shadow details or crushing black scenes. So I think that LG is having the new A11 processor. This will be one of the improvements LG will be working on to compete with the A95L. The LG g3 has an amazing processor as it is. But even with what they have,it still cannot bring out fine details like the A95L and all while keeping color pure and having good motion. It is not an easy task for a processor to be able to do all at the time. So if LG can overcome and beat that. They may possibly be able to get tv of the year 2024, and it would be awesome to see them overcome their recent past years of not receiving the accolades and recognition they are fighting for.
