Sony A1E-Series 65"-Class HDR UHD Smart OLED TV (2017)

With an amazing picture that matches but doesn't exceed LG's 2017 OLED TVs, the Sony XBR-A1E isn't worth the premium for most high-end shoppers.

  With the exception of other 2017 OLED TVs, the Sony XBR-A1E outperforms every other TV we've tested. It delivers perfect black levels, wide viewing angles, accurate color and a great bright-room picture. Its unique stand-less design is almost all picture when seen from the front.

  It has the same image quality as less expensive LG OLED TVs.

Sony's first 4K OLED is a triumph.

Having carefully considered the more affordable LG B6/E6 OLED, I ruled it out due to the poor handling of near-black tones; that unit essentially lost fine detail and made...

Had this tv for a couple of weeks now & I'm blown away by it, picture is really good on all media, sky,yuoview,free view & 4K is brilliant, upscales everything.

Absolutely delighted with this TV. We are still using a Bose soundbar but the sound quality from the set is better than any previous flatscreen TV I have previously owned. Stands sturdily on the table without any fear of being knocked over. The 8 million pixels make great viewing on UltraHD.
