This anti-reflective panel dramatically reduces screen reflections, boosting the subjective brightness of the G3 in the process. More exciting is the addition of ‘Vanta Black’ in the LG G3. Obviously, this won't be the same as a real surround setup – it's more about creating positional audio.Īs for other noteworthy features? The Sony A95L comes bundled with the new Bravia Cam, which can magnetically connect to the top of the panel, and offers advanced video cam functionality – not just calls, but gesture controls, and detecting when people have left the room so the TV can save energy.

First up is the use of Acoustic Surface Audio+, which uses actuators placed on the rear of the panel to vibrate the screen to emit sound. On the audio front, the A95L packs in some exciting features. It also supports VRR, though not G-Sync or Freesync. Sony’s new QD-OLED is branded as being ‘Perfect for PlayStation 5’, and as such, an auto genre picture and auto HDR tone mapping are deployed as soon as a PS5 is connected to the A95L – these are unique to Sony TVs.

The G3 deploys a Micro Lens Array panel and a software algorithm known as ‘META’ as part of its Brightness Booster Max technology. The LG G3 also uses brightness-boosting tech to make it substantially brighter than its predecessor, the G2 OLED. The A95L’s pictures are so vibrant, Sony is claiming it’s twice as bright as its previous OLEDs. That’s partly thanks to a range of processing techniques, like Sony’s new XR OLED Contrast Pro, XR Triluminos Max, XR Clear Image, and XR OLED Motion. Though we’ve yet to run brightness tests on the Sony QD-OLED, our A95L hands-on revealed it’s capable of delivering incredibly punchy images. It uses a quantum dot filter to boost image brightness of its OLED pixels, and the result is a picture that is a good deal more vibrant than previous OLED screen technology. Like the upcoming Samsung S95C and Samsung S90C TVs, the Sony A95L is a QD-OLED TV.
