The Sony XBR-65A9F OLED Ultra HD TV has excellent dynamic range, wide viewing angles, and stunning color and clarity. If you’re looking for one of today’s best televisions, this Master Series display is one to dazzle the senses.
Complementing their highly successful LCD Master Series televisions, Sony dives deep into OLED territory offering the darkest, uniform black levels across the screen.
Today, I’ll be checking out a Sony LCD Master Series television, the XBR-65Z9F. It bridges the gap between reference production monitors and consumer televisions by integrating Google Play Store for quick access of content while being uncompromising as a multi-zone LED backlit display capable of 1800 nits in HDR mode.
As a follow-up to the extremely successful and overbuilt Sony XBR-65Z9D television, Sony’s XBR-65Z9F packs the bright punch of its predecessor with increased processing power.
With reference post-production quality HD and stunning UltraHD 4K performance, the Sony VPL-GTZ270 4K SXRD Laser Projector is for the most serious and well-funded home theater entertainers.
No reference home theater would be complete without the Lumagen Radiance Pro 4K60 Video Processor.
Incredibly bright images, deep black levels, and reference color from the Sony VPL-GTZ270 Ultra HD Projector adorn the films on my home cinema screen. Projecting true 4K images from the best Ultra HD 4K films bring post-production quality home at last.
The EluneVision Reference Studio 4K NanoEdge screen is designed with a thin frame for performance and luxury. As a near-perfect Lambertian diffuser with zero surface texture, the finest details of the 4K home video format will be seen from all seats.
Modish design and high fidelity harmonize for a splendid visual treat. The EluneVision NanoEdge will get your friends talking and raise the level of entertainment.
When designing a good home theater, there are many components that need to work favorably together to create synergy and audio-video bliss.
Do you live in a condo where you share walls, floors, and ceilings with your neighbors? Have you ever had to reduce the volume for fear of warning letters from your condo corporation?

The image quality of UltraHD Blu-ray continues to meet and exceed expectations with every new disc release. Building upon the success of their UDP-203 UHD Blu-ray disc player, OPPO has introduced the UDP-205. Ultra HiDef videophiles can now enjoy the audiophile experience with this...
High fidelity video and audio in one machine is completely possible. The OPPO UDP-205 sets out to prove just that.
Mike was unexpectedly lured into hifi as a 10 year old when he first spun the vinyl of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. Intrigued by the album cover and inserts, he wasn’t aware that he’d find a connection with music through stereo sound and atmospheric effects. Finding similar music to enjoy and a great stereo to play them on became a new quest for his young, moldable, budding audiophile mind. The laserdisc player later converted him to a videophile too, and he was determined to earn his ISF certification while working at a HiFi shop that was paying his tuition. It was here where high fidelity audio and video collided at full force; video calibrator by day and music lover by night (and his studies whenever he could fit them in). He continued to work at various HiFi shops once graduated with his B.A. (Hons) in Political Science and Anthropology at McMaster University in Hamilton, ON. The dream of becoming a politician or an archaeologist soon faded into oblivion. After receiving M.Ed. at Daemon College in Amherst, NY, Mike changed his full-time career path to teaching but remains ever-present in the audio-video community in Ontario. As a highly active and respected THX/ISF calibrator, Mike has contributed articles to Canada HiFi Magazine and can still be found speaking at video seminars, measuring product performance for manufacturers, and performing calibration work for both consumers and Toronto’s post-production community. He has a strong commitment for video performance with an emphasis on measurement but understands that you can’t get blood from a stone, especially when most environments are compromised. It’s not all about pretty looking graphs, it’s about making good pictures.
