Q: I play a lot of video games and I'm worried about burn-in. I want to hear from any owners; is this overblown or what?

A: OLEDs have an inherent risk of burn-ins, I am a gamer myself you just have to be conscious and switch games and outputs. I.e. no Battlefield for the entire day... as long as you switch games and watch a bit of tv you are fine. If you are really worried about burn-ins go with the Z9F it is almost an identical picture quality but with an LCD so burn in free worry. Hope this helps...

Q: I'm going to buy one of these TVs A9F or the Z9F which one is better? We watch a lot of 4k movies and do a lot of gaming. What do you recommend?

A: A9F by a landslide. Google the Value Electronics 2018 TV Shootout results. They also have a FB page. You can see the report cards side-by-side. A9F won in every category against all of the best TVs from all of the best TV manufacturers. Movies are perfect!!! Gaming input lag is below 30 milliseconds which is nearly as good as it gets.

Q: I am switching to only internet no cable or satellite. I have HULU and Netflix. Can you stream these and is there a built in Icon for them?

A: Hi Lko, yes, it supports both applications and can be access through the TV's home menu screen. ~Ralph

Q: Can Ultimate A9 chip inside Sony OLED TV worn down?

A: I believe that it is just a processing chip and would have the same characteristics and longevity as your computer cpu chip, Nothing to worry about burning out in the next decade or so unlike the LEDs on other TVs. If that chip is defective, it will manifest itself very early in your use and then be covered under warranty. It is not something to stress out about and decide not to buy the BEST color TV currently on the market.

Q: I had the A8F delivered great picture but kinda dark... Should I switch to the A9F?

A: I wouldn't! I have both and I think they are both beautiful TV's if you want brighter go with the Z9F which is a great TV as well!

Q: I want to get this (the pricing is kind of insane though, I can't imagine it's THAT much better than the A8F); however, another thing that has me concerned is how it leans back on its stand. Can you adjust the stand so that is remains vertical?

A: Hunter you cannot adjust the sand. What I did to keep it vertical and keep my sound bar is I bought a universal mounting stand from Amazon and mounted the TV on it using the Versa. Looks pretty good. And go to a store that has the A9 and A8 the A9 wins by a big difference.
