Earlier this month, we gave you a quick glimpse at the new Sony Master Series TVs, the Z9F LED and the A9F OLED. These TVs, announced this summer, take the X1 Ultimate processor that Sony had previously shown off at the Consumer Electronics Show, and pair it with a wealth of other high-end tech to create some of the finest televisions currently available. We’ve now had enough time with these TVs to…
