SONY A9F TV PRICE IN INDIA
Sony A9F we retrieve the picture frame design seen with the A1, but under the hood, so the TV is powered by the final X 1 chip, which Sony introduced in CES 2018. Chip is capable of object-based rendering, which means that the TV is available in 55 and 65-inch options in India at Rs 429,900 and Rs 579, 9 00 respectively.
Sony A9F TV: Detailed Review
TV brought a new design, but it was essentially the A1 repackage for 2018. You can read our review of Sony A8F here. The highlight of the presence of Sony’s CES 2018 is the new X1 Ultimate Chip that will change the visual-based representation of an object-based representation, which makes HDR content even more desirable. Unfortunately, consumer TVs that showed X1 ultimate chip power were not shown. Let’s go ahead for a few months and Sony announced its television series: A9F and Z9D. The A 9F is an OLED TV and available in India, therefore while Z9D is like LED TV and Sony has not released it in India.
Display panel and picture quality
The A9F only comes with the improvement in the panel A8F which comes thanks to the new chip under the hood. This is with the image configuration and image display which is different from the A9F A8F. Now, A8F was powered by the X1 Extreme Chipset and the new A9F was operated by the X1 Ultimate Chip. It is said that the X1 is twice as powerful as the Ultimate Extreme and it also brings better processing of the image with HDR rendering depending on the objects. This means that each individual little object is identified, and colors, contrast, and sharpness are adjusted for each individual object. Then, in the past, if there was a bunch of grapes on the screen, the bunch was considered as an object to represent. Now, with X1 Ultimate, each individual grape is a separate object that will be processed. In principle, it seems like a fantastic optimization for HDR implementation. In fact, however, there are few very few warnings that will appear in the HDR section.
Netflix mode
The TV has claimed to have Netflix mode, but it was not automatically activated while playing Netflix. I had to manually go into the configuration of the image and convert it to Netflix mode. I saw some other changes between Daredevil, Star Trek Discover and Dolby Vision and Netflix, and honestly, I had the cost to find a difference. so I’m sure that consuming more material like Lost in Space, Hunting in Hill House, I’ll get some differences, but the content is so good anyway that it will not bother you.
Gaming
We played our standard suite of test games with PS4 Pro and Xbox One X on TV. These games include Battlefield 1 from Uncredited: The Lost Legacy, God of War, Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and more. Honestly, and it looked as good as we have seen the A8F and LG C8, which we saw earlier this year. Games like Skyline Zero Dawn and War of War with Spider-Man for PS4 look great. Playing on this television is like viewing through a window of graphic material at your disposal and it is worth experiencing something.
