Unveiled with much hullabaloo earlier this year, the Sony AF9 nonchalantly sets a staggeringly high benchmark for OLED picture quality. Boasting Kubrickian styling and a feature roster even the jaded will lust after, this TV is, quite frankly, an absolute stunner. It’s also a touch pricey. The £2,300 ticket for the 55in model here is a chunk higher than some rivals. The KD-55AF9 does at least look worthy of that premium price. It's stylish, and then some.Read more
