  1. I have an A95K and I'm thinking about adding an Xbox or Playstation. Does one work better with this TV over the other? I remember reading about some incompatibility issues with the Xbox when the TV first came out. I believe you had to choose Dolby Vision or VRR, but not both. Has this been solved since game mode was added in latest update? Do these problems still exist with A95L? Also, do I get any more or less support with a gaming PC vs a console?

    Wow now I’m in a pickle, was going to buy an 83” WOLED but now I’m thinking a 77” QDOLED will be the better option, as I’m all about the picture quality …
    Thanks for a great review

  3. Mykal Matters

    Haven’t watched the video yet to see if this question is answered: Does this TV do video gaming as good or better than the LG C2/C3 G2/G3?

  4. Alex Frost

    Really interested in your opinion on the A95L compared to the X95L

  5. J_Cage

    sony actually recommends if you need more HDMi 2.1 buy a sound bar because it gives you more HDMi 2.1

  6. Guy Dudley

    Way too much filler in this video… it could be half the length and would be punchier for it.

  7. Admirer

    How to enable inbuilt mic with "Hey google" without remote ? I have enabled the google assistant in settings and mic permissions are allowed for all apps.

  8. Mark Shiplet

    I was hoping you would touch on the new motion settings.

  9. Sinan Alim

    Merhaba, lütfen altyazı seçeneğinde Türkçe dilini de ekleyebilir misiniz.. Türkiye’den takip ediyoruz 🇹🇷👍

    I just got my Sony A95L a week ago and I’m loving it and I upgraded from the Sony A90J …and playing Spider-Man 2 and the game looks really really good on the A95L….worth every penny

    @Caleb – Thank you for your excellent review of the A95L. Would you be able to create a comparative review of the A80L versus the A95L and offer your insights to help us select the ideal OLED TV by considering all available options? I'm relying on your review to help me make an informed decision before proceeding further.

  12. Mick Blast

    I wouldn't buy from a company that has no complaints department. If you have a problem with a Sony product your left to fend for yourself. The other big players at the very least have a department dedicated to help if things go wrong.

  13. Jeffrey Kline

    Man, the whole merch store pitch was overly lengthy and kinda cringe. Maybe go back to the drawing board guys. 😬

  14. Sas

    For folks who're considering X95L, here's a tip (which wasn't mentioned in X95L review). Go to settings, choose Custom, select Picture. Inside Picture, select Ambient Optimisation Pro, under that menu, check if Ambient light sensor is preset to 'On'. I installed the TV today and was just frustrated with the picture until I set the Ambient light sensor to 'Off', PQ just dramatically changed from ordinary to brilliant! Also, I changed the live color settings from Off to Medium. Only talking about HDR nits and local dimming doesn't help. Hope this helps.
