Sony, widely recognized as one of the best TV brands, especially for gaming, unveiled the highly anticipated Sony Bravia XR A95L in March 2023.
The new model promises to go after top brands in the OLED market with a beautiful design, more extensive configuration, and better brightness overall. The A95K model even comes with a webcam, which can automatically adjust based on the viewer's position.
This new and exciting OLED TV has a lot to look at, so let's not waste any time and dive into all the information about the Sony a95l.
Sony A95L specs
Here are the specs for the brand-new Sony A95L TV:
- Size: 77"
- Panel: Quantum Dot OLED
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9
- Resolution: 3840 x 2160
- Refresh Rate: 120 Hz
- Inputs: 4 HDMI, 1 Coaxial F-Type, 1 Toslink optical
- USB ports: 2
- Ethernet port: 1
Sony's A95L will use the newest QD-OLED by Samsung, but you don't have to worry about high temperatures. Thanks to the all-new Cognitive XR Processor and an improved heat sink, the A95L will keep low temperatures while producing beautiful images without impacting lifespan.
The A95L will also be the only TV in Sony's 2023 range to support Dolby Vision for gaming and be capable of outputting 4K/120Hz with support for VRR.
Soundwise, the A95L doesn't boast any new features from last year's model. The TV comes with a 2.2-channel setup, using a technology that makes the screen panel vibrate from behind. This can be used to create more real sound without using a soundbar and a couple of woofers that will handle bass.

- Sony A95L 55-inch: $2,800/£2999
- Sony A95L 65-inch: $3,500/£3699
