Panel 2018 slight refinement ? I missed that part. Was it said in the video ?Thanks for the video Steve,
Given that AF8 has 2018 OLED panels which you mentioned as slight refinement than last year's panel, and has the same processing as the flagship A1, would you rather have AF8 than A1, presumably it would be cheaper as well, as it sits below A1?
With the LCD front, are there no replacement for last year's XE93 range and XE94?
It seems the only FALD sets they have for 2018 is the 2 year old ZD9 and this new XF90 which is a replacement of XE90 with added X1 extrame and motion feature.
Thanks.
I guess they felt that adding the X1 extreme to the XF90 was enough to remove the need for an XE93 replacement, although they haven’t announced if the XF90 can match the XE93 peak brightness, as last years XE90 was some way off it.
With regards to the XE94, perhaps the 75” ZD9 has taking its place?
Steve mentioned this on Panasonic video page, to a question raised by a member of the forum.Panel 2018 slight refinement ? I missed that part. Was it said in the video ?
Is that the reason the brightness peak seems to be slightly higher than last year panels?
He said that the A1 still the flagship OLED for 2018 meaning that the AF8 will have a lower starting price than the A1 at launch. The problem with this that the A1's price is much lower than the original price so at best they will have the same price at launch or the A1 will still have lower price which will make confusion.
You can buy the 55A1 in my country for roughly 2000GBP and I doubt that the AF8 will have lower price tag at launch
10000 nits? Blimey, that will give people a tan in seconds. 700 OLED nits are already painfully bright, so this is so far into willy waving territory for me it defies all logic.
Maybe Sony will be supplying a cool paid of Sony branded welding goggles with every set.
Someone else couldn’t contain his excitement in how good it looked, making the ZD9 look mediocre.How do you know without seeing it though as I have read nit level is not linear, so 7000 nits is not 10 times 700 nits. And not all content will be at a max 10000 nits, it will be purely for specular highlights.

I don’t think that will be enough unless they intend to keep its pricing as before (in the top end midrange), but that will leave a massive gap to what is now looking to be a very-overpriced ZD9.If not, then it is ONLY a good xe90 improvement which is not bad at all...
I just hope they found a middle ground (more zones and 1200 nits for example)
Good question !!!Was the 10,000 nit tv the embargoed Friday tv?
Sony lost me this yearI don’t think that will be enough unless they intend to keep its pricing as before (in the top end midrange), but that will leave a massive gap to what is now looking to be a very-overpriced ZD9.
Maybe the A8F OLED will fit in there?
