From TechHive: Sony’s big CES news is that it’s set to deliver 8K UHD resolution this year via its new Z9G smart TVs. Available in 85- and 98-inch flavors, the LED-backlit LCD TVs are designed to deliver immersive experiences in larger living spaces.
Details related to the audio capabilities of these 8K TVs are a bit muddy at the moment. Sony talks about about planar technology, but then mentions four speakers—not drivers or actuators—placed at the top and bottom of the TV. The images don’t give a lot of way, but Sony TVs always sound great, and the Z9G should be no exception.
The company also announced the A9G, an upgraded version of the company’s highly rated OLED series. We’re sure there have been improvements, but the features and technology Sony has announced were already incorporated into the A9F. With LG’s flagship E9 now only available in 65-inch and larger models, the 55-inch version of the A9G will be the only top-tier OLED available in that smaller size. For fans of the larger screens the industry swears are the most popular, the A9G will also ship in 65- and 77-inch versions. The A9G does use the planar technology (the screen is the speaker) that we mentioned above.
