Amazon Renewed CRT2SNXR77A95L Tv Review
Our verdict
This renewed Sony A95L is Sony's flagship QD-OLED in a 77-inch class, and at $3,349 it remains one of the most expensive sets in this lineup even as a pre-owned unit. The 120 Hz refresh rate and Google TV platform are solid, but the high price combined with only 6 reviews demands careful consideration before committing.

6 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
["The Sony A95L uses a QD-OLED panel, which layers quantum dot technology on top of Sony's OLED substrate to achieve some of the highest brightness and color volume available in a consumer OLED television. A 77-inch screen at this quality level normally carries a very high new retail price, so the renewed listing at $3,349 offers a discount, though it is still a significant investment.", "A 120 Hz refresh rate and Google TV make this a strong performer for movies, sports, and gaming. Google TV's interface is clean, and the platform supports all major streaming services plus Chromecast. At 81.3 pounds and measuring 67.63 by 40 inches, this is a large and heavy television that needs a proper mount or stand rated for its weight.", 'The 3.9-star rating from 6 buyers is the lowest in this product group and carries a caution flag at a $3,349 price point. It is not enough data to condemn the set, but it is a reason to read the available reviews carefully and confirm the renewed condition is acceptable before purchase.']

Physical dimensions are 67.63 by 40 inches with a depth of 16.25 inches, making it one of the deeper sets in this group. Weight is 81.3 pounds. Connectivity listed is RCA.

Frequently asked questions
What makes the Sony A95L different from a standard OLED?
The A95L uses a QD-OLED panel, which combines quantum dots with an OLED emitter. This produces higher peak brightness and more saturated color than traditional white OLED panels, particularly in reds and greens. Sony own image processing adds another layer of refinement. The result is a panel that performs well in both dark and moderately bright rooms.
Is a $3,349 renewed Sony worth it versus a new mid-range OLED?
That depends on how much the Sony QD-OLED picture quality matters to you versus price security. A new LG C-series or Samsung S90C in the same size costs less and comes with a full manufacturer warranty. The A95L picture is genuinely superior in some measurable ways, but the gap shrinks in typical living-room conditions. If budget is a concern, the mid-range alternatives offer better long-term value assurance.
Can I use this TV as a PC monitor?
Sony OLEDs work well as PC monitors for creative work and gaming, with the A95L color accuracy and refresh rate being particularly appealing. At 77 inches it is very large for close desk use, but practical for a desk that sits several feet away. Make sure your GPU supports 4K output at 120 Hz over HDMI 2.1 for the best result.
