If you're on the hunt for your next TV upgrade, I've got two perfect sets for your consideration, with both coming from Sony. As a big fan of Sony OLEDs, I can attest to their picture performance, upscaling, and slew of features. The best part? Prime Day has two of my favorite Sony OLED TVs down to their lowest prices ever, ensuring you get a TV upgrade without a hefty premium.
Right now, you can get the 55-inch Sony Bravia XR A95L OLED TV for $1,598 on Amazon. That's a deep price cut, slashing this three-year-old OLED by 43%, netting you one serious display with a QD-OLED panel for nearly half off. If that's still a little too expensive, you can get the 55-inch Sony Bravia 8 OLED TV for $998 on Amazon.
I'm a big fan of Sony's OLED TVs, but they're often too expensive to recommend for most buyers. The Bravia A95L, now following three years since its debut, is still pricey. However, there's a reason for that high premium.
The A95L mirrors some of the best Samsung TVs, which use QD-OLED panels. This means the Sony A95L is particularly well-equipped to handle color both in accuracy and in volume. Don't take it from me, our lab tests prove it with the A95L covering over 89% of the BT.2020 gamut and 99.95% of the UHDA-P3 gamut.
For its time, this was pretty remarkable. Some TVs have come close since then, but the A95L is still an absolute powerhouse for HDR movies. It's not one of the best TVs for nothing.
Given that it's a Sony TV, you can also expect the Bravia A95L to have a few tricks up its sleeve when it comes to the PS5. It's equipped with two PS5-exclusive features, including Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture mode. Both aim to amplify all of your favorite PS5 games so you feel ever more in the heart of the action, whether you're fighting Gods as Kratos or fending off robots as Aloy.
Although I do love the A95L, it's certainly not for everyone. If you're looking to spend a little less this Prime Day, the Sony Bravia 8 — a similarly stellar OLED TV — is also significantly marked down right now.
The Bravia 8 is also far newer, as it was released in 2024. If you want a cheaper set with a bit more modern sensibilities, it's probably the better pick. It also has slightly better input latency in our testing against the A95L's 16.1ms, which we measured at 12.6ms. Unfortunately, the Bravia 8 doesn't match up to the A95L in luminance, but Sony TVs are better known for their processing than for their higher metrics.
You really can't go wrong with either model, though. Both the Sony A95L and the Bravia 8 are among the best OLED TVs you can buy right now, and given the steep discounts on offer this Prime Day, it's a major win no matter which model you choose.
