Sony A95L review: what the specs say

Sony's original flagship QD-OLED — still one of the best-reviewed panels on the market. At $3,499.99, Sony's 2023 model sits at the premium end of the category — the TVs we compare run from $279.99 to $12,999.99. It scores 8.1/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.

Its strongest showing is Picture Quality at 9.3/10 — panel technology, contrast, and color accuracy. The weakest is Value at 6.3/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.

Worth knowing before you buy: succeeded by the brighter BRAVIA 8 II — lower peak brightness; and only 2 of 4 HDMI ports are full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1. Every specification on this page comes from Sony's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
