The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for the best of the best in the realm of 4K TVs, it’s hard to beat the Sony A9F.

1. Sony A9F

OLEDs offer some of the best pictures available, and the Sony A9F might be the best of them all.

  • Available sizes:
    55-inches, 65-inches
  • Processor:
    X1 Ultimate
  • Smart U.I.:
    Android TV
  • Display:
    Triluminos color with HDR 10
While still relatively young, OLED TVs easily occupy the top spot over LED TVs. But not all OLEDs are created equal and there are only a handful that stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. The Sony A9F is near the top.
The A9F is the latest model in Sony’s line of OLED TVs and is the culmination of previous designs up to this point. To start, the OLED panels at the heart of the TV make up the baseline for picture quality. Compared to LED bulbs, OLEDs provide higher contrasts than LEDs can. That means the screen can easily go from being extremely bright to absolute black with no blooming in the picture.
