Sony A9F Master Series 4K UHD OLED TV review: A top-notch TV with the best sound in the business

 

Sony's XBR65A9 65-inch 4K UHD OLED TV offers great color, excellent blacks, and wonderful HDR. It also offers the best sound in a flat-panel TV, bar none. The only problem is that there's a significantly cheaper, but highly worthy competitor in the...

Rich OLED color and deep blacks ; Excellent HDR with more than 750 nits ; Great sound (for a flat-screen)

Some slight moiré during detailed pans ; Significantly more expensive than the competition

The A9F is an excellent TV—one of the best out there. You could buy it and never suffer a minute of buyer’s remorse; unless of course, you looked around at the significantly cheaper competition, which includes a couple of TVs from Sony.

Review: Sony KD-65AF9 | Worth Waiting For Sony KD-65AF9

 

Right at the very end of the TV year, Sony pitches in with a new high-end OLED. The Bravia KD-65AF9 delivers design, image and sound in the high-end class.

The Sony screen delivers masterful image quality, and invisible speakers you can really hear. With the upgraded smart solution added on, this is a near complete high-end TV.

The picture quality is very good, but you can say that about many of the competitors.

Sony Master Series A9F OLED TV Review: The OLED to Beat

 

The Sony Master Series A9F OLED represents the pick of the litter from Sony's 2018 lineup, and it shows. The superb OLED panel offers rich color and deep black levels without sacrificing detail or brightness. The built-in audio is superb, offering 3.2...

Superb OLED display ; Impressive HDR performance ; Acoustic Surface Audio+ sound system is amazing ; Android Oreo improves smart TV experience.

Pricey, even for a premium TV ; Lean-back design is awkward ; Disappointing remote control

The Sony Master Series A9F OLED TV is one of the best OLED TVs on the market, and blows away the competition with its great picture quality, an innovative sound system and an improved version of Android TV. It's the best Sony TV we've seen and one of...

Sony AF9 (KD-65AF9) hands on review: price, release date and a first look at the Master Series OLED 4K HDR TV

 

We got up close and personal with Sony's latest high-end display, and the OLED poster boy does NOT skimp on the wow factor

Powerful performance from a new X1 Ultimate picture processor ; Great sound from Acoustic Surface Audio+ ; Oreo TV OS is the best Android smart TV offering yet

No Freeview Play ; 'Lean back' design is still a bit Marmite

Sony Bravia A9F OLED (XBR-55A9F) review

 

Sony's flagship OLED TV drops jaws and empties pockets

Nuanced UHD HDR images ; Impressive upscaling ; Audio+ sound system ; Android Oreo smart platform

Lean back design ; Reworked image presets ; Black level crushing

A shiny new X1 Ultimate image processor, and the arrival of the Android Oreo TV OS, makes this a panel every 4K enthusiast will be lusting after. Even better, as it's coupled with an enhanced version of its Acoustic Surface Audio technology, it sounds...

Sony KD-65AF9 hands on

 

Sony's just taken the wraps off its new Master Series TVs, the AF9 and ZF9 - and we've already had our hands on the AF9 OLED.

It's impossible to draw firm conclusions from manufacturer-controlled demonstrations at an event such as this. But on first acquaintance the AF9 is very impressive, and almost certainly a step up from the much-loved A1.
