Sony has always been one of the best TV brands, partly due to the success of its Bravia models. The Sony Bravia A9S Series continues that winning tradition with the Picture Processor X1 Ultimate, which maximizes the OLED technology in the TV for intense contrast, pure blacks, peak brightness, and natural colors. Acoustic Surface Audio, which blasts sound from the entire screen, creates a multidimensional audio experience that heightens immersion. The TV runs on Android TV with Google Assistant, and it’s perfect for playing video games on the PlayStation 5.
