Where is new firmware for A95L??

[scyoung25]

Hello,

Could Sony Europe please release firmware v112.627.030.1 for the A95L?  This firmware provides much needed fixes for problems the set has had since launch 14 months ago (poor Dolby Vision Gradation in dark scenes, eARC sound dropouts, posterisation in some streaming content) as well as promised features such as Voice Zoom 3 and Prime Calibrated Mode. 

This has been available in the rest of the world for 3 weeks now and it’s unacceptable that European owners of the A95L are still forced to wait for these much needed fixes and feature updates. 

Come on Sony Europe!

Just install the Bravia 9 firmware. Works with the A95L with no issues. It's almost like Sony Europe have forgotten to update it. 😂

Yes, I have it on a USB but I’m pretty risk averse when it comes to things like this.  Users on AVS have verified that the US A95L update file is identical to the B9 one. I’ll give them another couple of weeks and if nothing is forthcoming, I’ll install the B9 firmware. 

There’s a hidden page on the Sony UK website with the v112.627.030.1 update available for the A95L and it appears to be the same file as the UK B9 update. However, the release notes have not been tailored for the A95L and it only mentions the the B7/8/9 as compatible sets. 

Perhaps you are right and they’ve simply forgot to release it for the A95L lol.

I've been running it for a week as have others with no issues. Does a check to make sure it's compatible anyway and if you dive into the files themselves you can see everything matches up as it should. Confirmed it's fixed and implemented what they've stated. I personally think they've just forgotten to roll it out in Europe. 😂
