Sony - 65" class BRAVIA XR A95L OLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV

Pros: Extremely bright and darks are perfect dark. Full of color out of the of the box. Excellent cable management with the inserts and waffle cone on the back. The tv itself feels very sturdy. Im coming from a 2019 sony full array led to this, its amazing. The 2 120gh hdmi’s is nice obviosuly wish it had more. Cons: for a flagship tv id expect it to run like a race horse but it does not. The remote feels like very fragile. Made of very cheap parts. Only nice thing about the remote is it detects movement and lights up at night. Back to running slow, the tv, the menus i defect lag in the inputs from the time i press the buttons until the command is received its noticeably slow. Ive had multiple unrecoverable freezes. The whole screen turns grey and there’s a noticeable divide in the middle. I’ve had directv on and the picture froze on the tv and i power cycled the tv box and the tv retained the image until i unplugged the tv for 5mins. May be stupid to most but the led indicator feature is totally broken. The indicator is full on, unless you go in every time you turn it off manually. The sound? What sound ? This thing has speakers? :( i don’t expect home theater expensive speakers but when i have sensitive hearing and i can’t hear squat, and theres no real options that help boost the overall sound just vocal boost and its weak. Surround sound is bad. Id rather have the 4 - 10mw speakers from my old tv that had complete software failure after multiple motherboard replacements. Wait a year or two for a sale if you can. I couldn’t. Its a great gaming TV for xbox with 120hz and for those who like built in crosshairs and other gaming features. I hope they address these out of the box 1 update in, failures. To spend this much and so much on the warranty i expected way better,In terms of reliability. From Sony’s flagship tv. More to come, if i can figure out this new reviewing system, this is a nightmare i can’t even see what in typing thanks best buy i have to hit done and re read repeatedly. Also,i don’t see photo uploads so i cant show some of the faulty stuff I’ve recorded. My main fear other than a tv software death, again, is burn in but so far moderate use and no image retention. Dont expect to see any for a good long while. I Hope to update and re-rate the tv in future if that’s even a thing anymore. One last thing, there’s a noticeably loud click sound, like capacitors powering up the tv in the right hand side where, you guessed it the power plug; plugs in., which is super scary to me. Thats how all 5 of my samsung tv’s bit the dust (over the course of 2007 to now.). Motherboard/power failire issues.

Sony did it again. It’s unbelievable how amazing the picture quality looks on this tv. Every aspect of the image is exceptional. I bought the top of line back in 2015, and I only purchased this one because I started seeing lines on the screen after moving into my new house. After researching for a replacement (and getting lost down an OLED rabbit hole), I decided it was indeed time to upgrade. I was excited to see this model in person, but the model wasn’t on display when I came in, so I had to take a leap of faith and trust my gut. Now, I’m not one to sling money around like it’s bacon bits. I’m a conservative spender. That said, though the price tag was heftier than other less expensive models, this tv is worth every penny. I am rewatching movies I’ve seen before, and it’s like I’m watching a completely different movie. It’s a phenomenal picture. I had excellent surround sound already, so now that I’m in visual and auditory heaven, I can no longer see myself “slumming it” at the movie theater. It’s been weeks since it arrived, and I still feel giddy over watching anything at all. I even watched a baking show (and I abhor baking shows) because of how the Halloween colors popped off the screen. I couldn’t be happier.

I'm coming from the Samsung 2013 flagship F8000, 1080p LED, so this Sony OLED blows that one away in picture quality. Not so much with the built-in speakers though. They're ok, but not as good as my old tv. I was expecting better sound coming from Sony. Not a big deal for me though, I've got the Sony - HT-A7000 soundbar and subwoofer connected to it and it sounds great. I've only owned this tv for 4 weeks, but so far it's amazing. Beautiful picture quality and amazing colors. One thing I do dislike is the fact it only has two 4K 120hz HDMI outputs and it should have at least three for a flagship tv. The cheaper TV's have two. I've also had the latest software updates with no issues. Over all I'm pretty satisfied with this tv. Let's hope it last a while. I'm taking away one star for the lack of HDMI 120hz outputs, lackluster of the built-in speakers and not to mention it's insanely overpriced.
