SONY DELIVERS WITH THE MASTER SERIES A9F!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned my sony A8F 65" 4K TV and added a little more money to get the A9F 55" 4K Master Series TV. While the A8F was beautiful and performed wonderfully, I wanted that extra "ummphh" in wow factor and performance. The NETFLIX Calibrated mode is pretty good when watching 4K content and it's similar to DOLBY Vision mode. I also wanted to be able to use the Screen as one of the channels in a surround sound soundbar system. Even without a soundbar the sound is open and warm with decent bass. The picture quality is stunning and you can customize the levels as well as sound EQ. I would say if you have enough to fork out, then this is currently the BEST 4K TV out there right now. It lives up to the brand reputation and you get what you pay for is true in this case. It even plays 4K video games in stunning quality and decent frame rates. While it can't perform like a GSYNC monitor with frame rates, the quality alone makes playing games on it worthwhile. I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil 2 PC versions on the AF9 and I am blown away with the HDR and Black Levels on it. That's what makes this TV so special...it's picture quality is just so gorgeous and buttery smooth. Color levels are more natural but you can make it more vivid by using the various modes or just tweaking the levels to how you like them. I have no regrets in getting this TV and I highly recommend it. I give it 5 stars easily *****

Top Dog
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me first start by saying this is the best picture I have seen in a long time. I have had two TV's in my bedroom within the past 30 or so days. We had the LG 55" Class - OLED - E8 Series - 2160p and the Sony - 55" Class - OLED - A9F Master Series. The LG was sleek and sexy with the "picture on glass" design. The reason we chose to test the Sony is because the Sony has 3.1 speaker system that actually plays the sound through the SCREEN. While playing with the Sony we noticed the picture was better (depth, contrast, color), it has Netflix Picture Mode, amazing speaker system, and lastly is has an Android system that allows you to install programs such as SBMC to play your media through. It's expensive, but you don't need to buy a soundbar to help bring the picture alive.

Amazing Picture
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This OLED tv is amazing in performance ; smooth picture that’s vibrant and sharp. Picture details and colors so real! The HDR control make all the difference. The master series is worth every Cent and the discounted price I purchased really makes this a Best Buy I highly recommended the Sony master series and purchasing at Best Buy. Best Buy was great in replacing this tv quickly when I found dead pixels at the center of screen. A new tv was exchanged next day and worked perfectly. No hassle and easy transaction.

One of the best!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought floor model in Magnolia Room for $1,200. Feel like I stole it! For "sanjam" that only gave 3 star review, please give this TV the accolades it deserves. Of course the newer, better model will have enhancements, but by no means is this a 3 star TV. I have A8F, and A9F. Love both and IMO the best OLEDs out there besides the high end LGs. If you have the ability to get any of the Magnolia rated Bravia's, I highly recommend.

Great Picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The clarity on this is great. I really enjoy it. The sound is actually really good too. Unlike with other TVs, I didn't need an additional sound system. I'm really happy with it.

Great replace TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had a Sony Bravia TV that lasted a long time. So we wanted to get another Sony. We looked on line for our replacement and saw that the one we bought was one of the best. I like the apps and the picture we get. The Best Buy experience of buying this Tv was great. I am still getting use to the new controls though. Funny thing though our old controls worked on the new TV

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhen sitting on a stand, this TV angles back slightly. Why is that and how does it enhance viewing? Does it need to angle back when wall mounted as well to ensure the picture quality? This may be a deal breaker for me.
Asked by CaptainVideo.
- A:Answer Have you experienced a Movie in an iMax Theatre? The big screens are not straight up and down. The viewing angle on this TV is about 170 degrees. This translates into a good view up to 170 degrees in all four directions. So having the TV on a stand angled back does not impact the viewing performance. It does not need to angle back when mounted on the wall. You should ensure there is enough clearance around the TV so there is adequate ventilation for the internal circuits.

Q: QuestionCan this be wall mounted ?
Asked by Vin.
