Sony MASTER Series A9G 4K OLED TV: The A9G is Sony's new flagship MASTER Series 4K OLED TV available today in 65" Class (64.5" diag.) and 55" Class (54.6" diag.), all in a very slim form factor. MASTER Series is the name given to only the very best Sony TVs and provides premium picture quality, color, contrast and clarity approaching that of a professional-grade monitor. Images come to life with the super-wide viewing angle, precise contrast and absolute blacks of OLED technology. Over 8 million self-illuminating pixels are precisely and individually controlled by Sony's Picture Processor X1™ Ultimate.

In addition to the processor, the A9G has Pixel Contrast Booster for more color and contrast in bright areas. As a result, the A9G provides premium picture quality showing images and colors as they truly are, and as the creator intended. The MASTER Series A9G also features Netflix Calibrated Mode¹ and IMAX Enhanced² with DTS audio to further ensure that content is delivered as intended and supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Complementing the picture with an immersive sound experience, Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology creates sound from the entire screen, providing pictures and sound in perfect harmony.

The Picture Processor X1™ Ultimate has a unique algorithm specially developed for 8K that can detect and analyze each object in the picture.

It is also compatible with Dolby Vision⁵ and IMAX Enhanced² for an enhanced at-home viewing experience.
