SONY Bravia A8G 138.8 cm (55 inch) OLED Ultra HD (4K) Smart TV (KD-55A8G)

Makes little sense for someone to purchase the TV at the given price considering it has literally been downgraded hardware wise from the 2018 model and the rest of the specs and processing being the same .Dolby Vision is still dark and there are still ABL issues just like the A8F. Colors are cooler out of the box.Having said that the upscaling and motion’s solid .The LG C9 retails at 1.5 currently and has both HDMI 2.1 and has improved processing over the C8 bringing it closer to this TV and even better this TV in areas like gaming lag (almost 3 times better)and overall brightness within DV modes and outside.Personally I would consider the Panasonic FZ950(2018 award winner by several videophile owned test websites) though it does not have DV or wait for their 2019 OLEDs which are solid across the board in terms of color accuracy, video processing, motion , etc. They beat even the higher end Sony OLED hands down in the recent UK video shootout competitions.They have all 3 HDR modes. I.e HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision which neither the Sony nor LG do.

Not sure how Sony expects to sell this TV at the given price when this model has all the problems from last year’s predecessor plaguing it(really low light output, aggressive auto Dimming in bright scenes and games, pathetic gaming input lag). All the OLEDs from rival brands (Panasonic and LG) simply perform better in all 3 areas. The LG C9 at 65 inches is 2.1 lakhs instore and provides HDMI 2.1 support( ALLM, VRR-Variable Refresh Rate for gaming via compatible devices such as XBox one S and the upcoming PS5), eArc support- capability to pass lossless DTSHD and DolbyTrueHD in a dolby Atmos format to a receiver from the TV). LG ‘s oleds starting from the C9 range will also support Nvidia ‘s Gsync allowing you to play games without tearing and stutter straight off their GPUs. The VRR feature also comes in handy for upcoming PS5 consoles and the XBOX one X.Added to this LG’s 2019 Oleds have significantly caught up on Sony’s traditional strengths of upscaling non 4k content and motion. Panasonic’s 2019 oleds(hopefully they would release in India)are however what you should be getting yourself if you do not game. They are the only ones to support Dolby Vision, HDR10 plus and HDR. Additionally they have excellent input lag for gaming , excellent color accuracy out of the box, excellent near black handling . Considering how bad the Sony’s Dolby Vision problems are don’t think you’re missing much anyways with even a 2018 Panasonic oled.Both the Sony and Lg ones suffer from flashing problems with near black scenes and banding in such scenesThe Sony Oleds of 2019 ,both the A8G and A9G just don’t make any monetary sense .If you still want a Sony, a good deal on the A8F for 1.2 to 1.3 or a 65 incher for 2.1 would make better sense since the 2019 Oled is the same or has dropped certain features
