- JON L. JACOBI

The A9F’S most outstandin­g feature is its 4K UHD (3840x2160) OLED panel. There’s nothing in the Led-backlit LCD universe that can match the blacks and overall rich image of OLED, though there are those who prefer the brightness that can enable a good LED TV to make high dynamic range (HDR) material really pop. The viewing angles are very wide, there are no lighting artifacts, and screen uniformity is nigh on perfect. And actually, the A9F truly sounds good enough that you should wait on buying a soundbar or other outboard audio system until you’ve unboxed this TV and listened to it. The A9F supports most of the surround-sound formats with the exception of Dolby Atmos, and the A9F is the first OLED to support EARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), with its ability to transmit eight channels at 192khz.—
