I bought the Sony xr85x95ju.
Had a price drop and comes with £100 of playstation vouchers to redeem.
Been gaming all day and it's been great ( better than my q90r that disabled local dimming on game mode)
I'm sure the q95a is awesome if you can get a clean panel with no issues, that was my 1st choice of what was available to me , but I don't handle problems with my kit very well , so I wasn't messing around swapping 3,4 tvs hoping to find the holy grail.
As for the football, I stream all my football on sky go via ps5 or series x , wasn't a broadcast issue as I watched the 2nd half on my tv upstairs (xf900) .
Hope you find a compromise to your problem with your own set mate .
