Our take on the Sony TV HDR A9G 4K XBR65A9G/A UHD Smart OLED Class

The Sony A9G is a 4K OLED television built on Sony's Master Series panel, sold here in the 65-inch class. OLED gives it per-pixel light control, so blacks are true black and contrast is effectively unlimited, which is what separates it from LED-backlit LCD sets at the same size. It runs Android TV with Google Assistant built in, and its stand doubles as a soundbar-style speaker. It suits movie and sports viewers who want deep blacks and wide viewing angles, and it is a strong pick over LCD rivals for dark rooms, though OLED panels are dimmer in bright rooms and carry long-term burn-in risk with static content.

Questions and answers

Is the A9G worth it over an LCD TV?

If you watch in a dim room and care about black levels and viewing angles, OLED is a clear step up. In a bright room, a high-end LCD will look punchier.

Does it support HDR?

Yes. It handles HDR10 and Dolby Vision content, which is where its contrast advantage shows most.

What is Acoustic Surface audio?

The panel itself vibrates to produce sound, so audio comes from the picture rather than a separate bar. It is better than typical TV speakers but not a substitute for a sound system.

Should I worry about burn-in?

Static elements like news tickers and game HUDs left on for hours can leave marks over time. Vary content and enable screen-off timers to reduce the risk.

Does it work with voice assistants?

Android TV includes Google Assistant for voice search and smart-home control. Alexa and other assistants are not built in.

What is in the box?

The TV, its stand, remote, power cable and setup documentation. Wall-mount hardware is not included.
