No it's not a huge leap forward from Sony's A1 from last year. Yes it's the best TV you can buy

Sony KD-65AF8 OLED 4K HDR TV review

In 2017, Sony reimagined the humble telly with its A1 OLED debut. The adoption of OLED display tech enabled its engineers to completely rethink TV audio; by adding vibrating actuators to the back of the set, the panel itself could generate sound. The A1 also used a chic lean-back design, and adapted image processing techniques first seen on the spectacular ZD9 LED LCD TV.
