Sales / Good deal – The Sony XR-55A95K “5-star” television at €2,149.00 (-12%)

The first model to use a QD-Oled panel manufactured by Samsung Display, the Sony Bravia A95K television promises to display a brighter and more saturated image than conventional Oled models, without neglecting the audio part, design and novelties.

QD-Oled technology is making a remarkable entry into the television market: the Sony Bravia XR-55A95K quite simply becomes one of the best televisions in our comparison, alongside the LG C2 and Panasonic JZ2000. It displays a perfectly calibrated image and infinite contrast – like the vast majority of televisions – but also offers an even wider color palette, unrivaled viewing angles and an even more effective anti-reflective filter. If we add to this all the features offered by this model (hands-free control, backlit remote control, Bravia Cam, HDMI 2.1), we obtain a television close to perfection, which is suitable for both film and series lovers. TV only to video game enthusiasts.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).

An alternative

The Philips 55OLED907 is quite simply one of the best televisions on the market. Whether in SDR or HDR, it offers excellent image quality, especially since the slightly boosted brightness peak further increases the impact of HDR content. Philips impresses above all with its foolproof image processing and the performance of its motion compensation engine. The manufacturer also stands out from the competition with a rotating stand, a backlit remote control, a Bowers & Wilkins audio system and of course its Ambilight system, a true signature of the house. The Phlips OLED907 is a success.
