A:Answer2019 or 2020 is somewhat a mystery; my limited research on this subject leads me to believe that the A9G was first released in 2019; the A8G model was released in 2020, but does not really replace the A9G. They are almost the same but the A8G has a different brightness level by default and the processing at the pixel level is different, but I am not at all an expert. Keep comparing them in different ways of internet searches and youtube videos. The Best Buy guys are pretty good at being honest, but I bought the A9G because the Best Buy guys said the A8G was "brighter" than the A9G and because my research indicated that processing at the pixel level was very sophisticated. I liked their descriptions of how they were different. I hope that Sony did not make this minor "downgrade" to the A8G because of some deep seated problem that they will not reveal. That should not be the case because the A9G is a little more expensive to produce, about $200 more than the A8G. I think you have to research hard and look for small details that lead you to a better understanding of their differences..
A:AnswerI read the the Master series are pre-calibrated, have some better quality materials, the stand and speaker are some of the reasons the A9G is priced highet than the A8H, I had both in my house and in my opinion the Ah8 has the better picture and is a little britter,
A:AnswerI’m not familiar with SONOS sound bar, does it use HDMI ARC from TV? There are multiple audio outputs (ie HDMI ARC/eARC and Optical), so I’m fairly certain you could do the same setup.
BTW, this TV provides the best picture among home use TV’s, absolutely!
A:AnswerYou can do this if you computer has an HDMI output on your graphics card or if you cast it via bluetooth. However depending on your graphics card, your output resolution may be limited.
The bigger concern for me would be burn-in. A typical windows or mac screen would produce a static image on the OLED that if left on over time it could produce burn-in since it is not a true LED.
The TV is amazing for everything else including XBox. Again you just need to limit your game play for long periods of time especially if there is a border around your game.
