New Sony Z9G 85" 8K TV
I admit I am tardy in posting this, but last month I saw the new Sony Master Series 85" 8K TV at an event at a local audio retailer in Charlotte, Audio Advice. While I am more audio-focused than video, I have to say this TV was stunning. Nothing I have ever seen comes close. The clarity, the vivid colors, black levels - everything was almost overwhelming. Of course, at $13K, so is the price.  The content they initially showed was from a computer and was native 8K. Then they showed HD and 4K content upsampled, which was surprisingly good. For a brief moment, I started thinking about buying one. Then reality set in with practical considerations like when will 8K content be available? What do I do with my Bryston SP3? I don't even have the 4K upgrade for it, as I am only watching standard HD today. I checked with Bryston and they have no announced roadmap for 8K support. I am not even sure when the SP4 will support 8K. So for the time being, I sit on the sidelines dreaming of what may be......somewhere down the road.
