Hi,
I’ve a Sony KD49XF9005 TV that I bought in October 2018 (in U.K., from JLP, so still in warranty)
I was wondering if it’s worth upgrading to Sony KD55A8?
Or should I wait for few more years?

I mostly watch movies and series on Netflix and BBC IPlayer on TV. Don’t use TV for watching sports nor gaming.
 
I'd personally wait for Sony to sort out there problems with TV led Dolby Vision.

At the moment there TVs with dedicated picture processors like the A8 are lacking proper Dolby Vision support, which may be fine now but something you'll regret in the future.

But aside from that, the A8 will be a big difference from the XF9005 and you'll get a boost from a bigger TV too, if you watch in dark conditions and enjoy movie nights in the dark then it will be fabulous.

Consider upgrading at a better time though, since now isn't the best time to buy a new TV
 
Thanks a lot! I will hold upgrading at the moment in that case.

Thanks for candid feedback :)
