Hey everyone,

I’m considering picking up the Sony QD-OLED 55 inch BRAVIA XR A95L Series 4K Ultra HD TV, and I’d love to get your thoughts on it. The picture quality sounds incredible with the Cognitive Processor XR and the promise of lifelike colors and deep blacks. Has anyone experienced this in person? How does it hold up when watching different content, like movies versus sports?

Also, I’m curious about the sound quality. Does it live up to the picture performance, or is it something I’d need to boost with a soundbar or external speakers?

On the smart TV front, the integration with Google TV and voice search seems convenient, but I wonder if there are any quirks or downsides to the system. How user-friendly is it in practice?

Lastly, are there any potential downsides or issues you’ve encountered with this model that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your insights! Looking forward to your feedback.
