Question about Sony OLED KD65AG9
I haven't had a TV for 15 years, am totally NOT up to date and now want to buy a Sony OLED 4K 65". Is there a convincing reason (apart from 20 watts more sound) why I should buy the KD65AG9 and not the KD65AG8? For example, the AG9's image processor is said to be faster, but do you notice this strongly in practice with feature films (never watch sports) or not at all? There are many more reviews of the AG9 than the AG8, and therefore purchases (I assume), even though the AG9 is CHF 700 more expensive: what is the reason? What good reasons (apart from 20 watts more sound) are there to buy the AG9, for people for whom money (unfortunately) also plays a role? Or is it absolutely safe to buy the AG8?
The AG9 is the current Sony OLED flagship from the MASTER series. Especially with Netflix it is a visual difference, the series are "mastered" on studio monitors as you know, the BRAVIA Master series is the consumer product that comes closest to these. In the menu of the AG9 you can switch on the Netflix calibration and the picture is as the makers imagined it. I don't watch sports either but with Netflix and especially UHD Blu-Ray playback, this all benefits the picture and the overall impression. In general, if you watch Blu-rays, it is recommended to use a current Sony UHD player here. The BRAVIA configuration ensures optimal picture and sound quality without a lot of fiddling. It's all worth the 700 CHF....
