The new backlight system is a revelation.
The improved processing, I mentioned earlier, is the latest version of Sonys Cognitive Processor XR engine.
Well discuss this more in the Gaming section of the review.
The TV has also been certified by IMAX as capable of getting the best from theIMAX Enhancedhome video format.
The 65X95Ls premium features arent limited to its picture quality.
This is something mini-LED rival Samsung has been doing for years, but Sony has previously avoided.
Which means it feels like a pretty reasonable compromise in return for the 65X95Ls greatly improved black level uniformity.
Dark scenes dont just impress for the much improved evenness of their black colours, either.
The sheer inky depths of the 65X95Ls black colours is also remarkable.
Especially when it comes to bright HDR shots that flood the whole screen area with brightness.
The 65X95Ls improved brightness and contrast over the 65X95K feed into an improved colour performance, too.
Theres no loss of clarity during motion-filled action scenes, either.
So long, anyway, as you only ever use the motion processing options on their lowest power prefs.
Both approaches deliver delicious results while catering for slightly different image preferences.
Though the brightness the 65X95L feels optimised to spectacular effect.
Meaning that overall the 65X95Ls pictures can be considered things of surprisingly consistent beauty.
it’s possible for you to position the feet in no less than three different configurations too.
Google TV is a substantial improvement over its Android predecessor, with more attractive and intuitive menus.
Or, at least, it doesnt make its customisation options as obvious.
Theres one exclusive to Sony streaming service thats well worth a mention, too: Bravia Core.
This continues to some extent with the 65X95L.
For starters, only two of its four HDMIs support 4K/120Hz game inputs and variable refresh rates.
But its much better than having no such menu at all.
This delivers more than 2000 nits of brightness and 576 local dimming zones for just 1,049.
Value score: 4 / 5
Should you buy the Sony X95L?
Not surprisingly, then, it delivers a truly spectacular HDR performance.
It also boasts comprehensive gaming support.
Its a well featured gaming display too.
