And then listening to the sound that comes standard on the Sony -- there was no contest. The photo and video stuff they have going in the store is annoying, but if you find the right staff member, they can show you 4K YouTube videos and really see the difference. Sony video processing is remarkable.
A: Yes, I have the RTX 4090 ti founders edition graphics card connected to the Sony XR42A9OK OLED 4K HDR TV. Games are brilliant. Flight simulators are fantastic. You can do anything from watching tv, gaming, work or play, this tv does it all.

Sony & Share
Sony has been my mainstay from the late 70's to present. Over the years Sony has not disappointed with it's superb picture quality and vivid colors. This is just one of two Sony TVs I've purchased these past two months. Sony has taken it one step further in 2022 by introducing OLED, which is superb, beyond a doubt. Geek Squad did an excellent job installing my wall mount. Unfortunately the wire (cap) covers were back ordered and I had to shop Home Depot to finish the job. The future of Technology Electronics have come a long way these past few years and everything just gets better. I am a "Cord Cutter" and have been for almost 13 years, NO cable..NO satellite, so I make the best of it by viewing on my Roku 4K Ultra stick (Best Buy) and Youtube. My TV was installed in our bedroom to enjoy anytime.

42" for small rooms, 48" for larger bedrooms.
Excellent TV for a smaller room. It ended up being too small for our master bedroom, so we discovered the 48" would fit and exchanged it. The OLED is fantastic as far as colors, sharpness, blacks, and for our purposes to fit in our cabinet, the skinny depth was why a larger regular 4K would not fit. The depth of the regular LED 4KTVs are much deeper, and heavier, and the base on the OLED was perfect instead of those spokey feet on the other non OLED TVs. This is the one I have been waiting for all these years. And adding the 4K Fire Stick on Prime has made watching shows in 4K exceptional.

Beautiful TV with bright accurate colors.
This TV is minimalist and sleek. It is bright with pitch blacks and very accurate colors. UHD materials look amazing on this screen. The speakers sound good and go lower than expected for a screen this thin. The remote is metal topped, backlit, and feels comfortably solid in the hand. The only down side is it relies on Google talk for voice commands, so if you use an android phone, they can interfere with eachother.
