Sony’s unveiling of the new A9G (AG9 in Europe) ‘Master Series’ OLED TVs - after all, Sony only just launched its current A9F (AF9) OLED TVs as recently as September. The A9G, the sequel to the now six-month old A9F, is definitely happening.
Design: The A9G OLED looks different than the A9F in a number of significant ways. For starters, the 77-inch, 65-inch, and 55-inch models all stand bolt upright rather than leaning back slightly like the A9F does. This immediately makes the A9G a much more ‘mainstream’ proposition.
It also looks much slimmer, chiefly because they ditch the A9Fs ‘lean on’ leg and stand instead on a more conventional, centrally mounted metal stand.
Sony has developed a new hanging bracket for the A9G, too, that lets the TV fit pretty much flush to your wall. This bracket even swivels, so you can adjust the viewing angle.
Performance: when it comes to picture quality, the A9G uses the same core OLED panel as its predecessor, as well as, more importantly, the same superbly powerful X1 Ultimate processor.
