Hello everyone,
I own an OLED Sony KD-65A1 TV and have decided to upgrade. I am virtually torn between two TV models – the Sony KD-77AG9 (4K OLED) and the Sony KD-85ZG9 (8K LCD) – both of which pose a certain compromise for me. I was able to see both screens on display – albeit relatively briefly.
The blacks on the OLED TV are just as perfect, and the overall image quality is breathtaking, however the size of the screen is smaller than what I would ideally prefer. While I can give the 8K feature up (even though it would indeed be nice to own a forward-looking screen), the smaller screen size of the OLED TV makes it a bit of a difficult choice for me. On the other hand, having read the review KD-85ZG9 on this website, the wording of "blacks could be deeper" is a bit off-putting. I would ideally not compromise between blacks and screen size, but it is my understanding that I will have to. I should also mention that I plan on doing quite a bit of gaming, so that factor may have implications on the choice of screen.
From what I see, there are no reasonably priced OLED screens of similar sizes (85") – and therefore choice is between the above two models. I should say that I prefer Sony products because the post purchase service that I've received from them over the years was nothing short of stellar.
I am truly at loss here as this is not my area of expertise, and would appreciate some input and insights.
Thank you very much!
