The way S&V ratings go, usually a 4/5 stars implies not so great a product, but in your paragraph near the end you almost convinced me this is a better TV than an OLED, not just in value, but in picture quality as well- In fact, in our case, a narrow viewing angle is not a problem at all, and thus your major downside is not much of a downside.

Yes, good point, hk. I don't

Yes, good point, hk. I don't think it's the off-axis viewing because the reviewer equates it to an issue with the technology. If it's 4/5 and the only other negative is the blooming, it makes me wonder how bad it is on this set because this reads like 4.5 all day.

Excellent value LCD 4k set, video quality good, but not great

Sony will be coming out with a replacement model for the Z9D in the fall.
That model will be their best LCD based 4k TV.
However, the X900F is a great value for the picture quality level.
