Sony 85 Inch Z9 G Master Series 8K Television

I knew as soon as I saw this Television on display at the Integrate Exhibition in Melbourne in August that I was seeing something that was moving the goalposts in direct view visual reproduction.

This Sony was voted the best product of CES2019, the prestigious US Consumer Electronics Show that is the Mecca for high end visual products.

When we were given the opportunity to be the first store in Victoria to have one on display, I leapt at it.

It arrives in a dauntingly massive box and is not for installation or moving by a casual AV person.

It seems like a throwback when you are given the job of putting it on the wall.

It has the mass of a noughties 60 inch Plasma that has two hefty chaps straining to hold it in place while somebody brave crawls below plugging the cables in before final placement on the bracket. And it seems to be thick like a projection TV form the nineties with suspicious vents above and below that reminds me of a seventies wall heater.

We hooked up some 8K content to the Z9 to show off its resolution, Venice at Carnivale. And Wow! The picture is alluring. The depth of field created by the 8K picture is astounding and the colours and brightness - mesmerizing.

Even our most hard-nosed 'I've seen it all before, nothing is extraordinary AV guys' stood staring at a couple repeats of the video, display clip muttering 'it's so pretty' to themselves. Weeks later and still I have to be very disciplined not to fall into staring at the images on that screen. It has a magnetism to it, that I've never experienced in a TV.

Others feel the same about this TV - read Tony O'Brien's review for StereoNet here.

There have been products outside of consumer land in high end aerospace and vehicular design arenas that are capable of showing full daylight brightness and max contrast and that are used for CAD rendition and were based on laser banks and considered unsafe for consumer application. The surface area of this screen in conjunction with its dynamic brightness (4000 nits peak) and resolution make it a game changer in terms of outright visual power.

Product Description

Details

This is the Skyline Godzilla of all Televisions at the moment.

It seems like a throwback when you are given the job of putting it on the wall. It has the mass of a noughties 60 inch Plasma that has two hefty chaps straining to hold it in place while somebody brave crawls below plugging the cables in before final placement on the bracket. And it seems to be thick like a projection TV form the nineties with suspicious vents above and below that remind one of a seventies wall heater.

To get content to the panel that justify its resolving capability one has to hook up the dealer limited Sony hard drive and use special HDMI cables.

Then you light it up ...
I have never seen a picture this bright or this detailed in a direct view display. It is awesome.
There have been products outside of consumer land in high end aerospace and vehicular design arenas that are capable of showing full daylight brightness and max contrast and that are used for CAD rendition and were based on laser banks and considered unsafe for consumer application. They were 45 inches and 2K resolution. This is like that but 85 inches and 8K.
The surface area of this screen in conjunction with its dynamic brightness and resolution make it a game changer in terms of outright visual power and high dynamic range content portrayal.
