Sony A9G is a fantastic choice for most uses—especially for TV shows and movies, which is great since it runs on Android TV and has access to popular apps like Netflix and Hulu. It’s still a good option for gaming, but lacks a few wanted features.

The Sony A9G is a phenomenal choice for most uses, though it’s better suited for enjoying cinema. Due to it running on Android TV, its interface is clean and easy to use, and has access to a large portion of streaming services.
And with the Acoustic Surface Audio+, sound quality gets a nice boost across the board. It’s only slightly behind the curve without access to VRR.
