Sony Adds Gaming Features to New Flagship OLED, Mini-LED TVs
Sony today gave its Bravia XR TV lineup a boost with new flagship OLED and LED models. It also revealed some new gaming features that will be available on its TVs and a new soundbar.
The Bravia XR A95L (available in 55, 65, and 77 inches) is Sony's newest top-of-the-line quantum dot-enhanced OLED TV, while the X95L (85 inches only) is the newest LED TV. Both use the company's Cognitive Processor XR image processor to drive brighter pictures through their panels.

The image processor also enables Sony's new XR Clear Image feature, an improved upconversion process for content with lower native resolutions than 4K.
In addition to the flagship models, Sony announced several other TVs under its high-end Bravia XR umbrella. The X93L is similar to the X95L but available in 65-, 75-, and 85-inch versions and uses conventional 4K upscaling instead of XR Clear Image. The X90L comes in screen sizes from 55 to 98 inches and has XR Clear Image, but doesn't get as bright as the other two LED models with its XR Contrast Booster 10 backlight control. The A80L is an OLED TV that lacks the A95L's quantum dot layer, but is otherwise very similar and available in 55-, 65-, 77-, and 83-inch versions.
Sony has already launched its high-end A-series soundbars, but it's announcing a new lower-end model, the HT-S2000. This 3.1-channel soundbar is smaller than the A-series models, and less expensive than them at $499. It features built-in dual subwoofers in addition to its left-, right-, and center-channel drivers, and can be expanded with the SA-SW3 or SA-SW5 wireless subwoofers and
