So I bought an AF8 55" last November.
Whilst I enjoy the TV for movies Netflix / Prime and general viewing - news, iPlayer, etc, I am getting increasingly frustrated with the auto-dim feature when watching sports and when playing games (with a static content).
Those who say the AF8 is not dark, must be using a different TV. Mine only looks good when set at max brightness and high luminance. The issue is that it darkens considerably when watching football specifically. I've tried every possible setting in the luminance menu and in the Eco settings menu. I've had a Sony engineer round. Nothing helps - the auto-dim inevitably kicks in 2-3 minutes into a programme showing static content. When I change channel and come back to the original channel - bang - there it is back to its glorious brightness. It's almost like the TV is teasing...
Anyway, I have now decided to shift the TV and get something a bit more "stable" brightness wise, even if it is not an OLED but an LCD. I also want to take the opportunity to move up to a 65".
So my question is this - coming from the AF8, how would I find the XG8796, XG9595 or the ZF9 and generally any good LCD?
Thanks
