Thanks Tasos. The A8Fis considerably less pricey at the moment than the newer A9F, question is whether the A9F is worth the difference, which is about 50% more! From what you just stated , I would seriously doubt it.

The two OLED TVs posted above are the best. ...And the best deals too.
Those two below are nice too, but not as good value as the two above (best purchases).

Bob, thanks for posting that. It seems that the two links you posted are to the Canadian site. The difference between the two Sony AF’s is quite considerable in price, not so much in features or ability.
The price difference here in the US is about the same...with the newer model A9F being about 50% more. The older model A1E is the same price as the newer A8F. Therefore,I’m going with the A8F.
I don’t like the LG picture quite as much, the Sony processor seems more advanced on motion. Same price for the LG 65” here as the Sony 65”.

And to complete the top six best OLED TVs in 2018 ...

Yes Davey, Best Buy Canada. I have been waiting...
The Best thing; Best Buy USA is even better! But Canada has finally gained some considerable ground price wise.
For both Canadians and Americans (North America), the LG C8, LG B8 and Sony A1E OLED TVs are the best performance and value wise; they are the smartest buys in my opinion for people who are looking for an OLED TV right now. ...Below $3,000 and ranked #1, #4 and #6 respectively.
* In the USA the Sony A8F, yes @ $3,000 it's a wise purchase (excellent).
Then the LG E8 (#3) and Sony A8F (#5), for Canada. But why pay more, unless you prefer their design, because performance wise they are no better than the lesser expensive ones (among the top six).
The LG C8 (2018 model) is the big winner for the end of the year 2018. ..And the Sony A1E (for $200 less - 2017 model).

One day perhaps, in the year 2020 I will start a Canadian section of the forums; with French class immersion.

I think it is very possible that we will see microled in ‘19. Problem is that the price with be anything BUT micro, lol. Not sure that microled will have a better picture than OLED, but it won’t have the burn-in issue. I’m not concerned with burn-in, as I’m coming from a plasma with the same risk, and after 13 years...no burn-in issues.
MicroLED is indeed next. But it won't be cheap.
The difference with OLED? ...Organic (OLED), non-organic (MicroLED).
Advantage of MicroLED? ...Much brighter picture (best for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG).
The Best is yet to come . . . 2019 and beyond.
Bob, like I said, the Sony A1E is the exact same price as the newer A8F here in the states, at the moment. Therefore, I think the newer model is the better buy.
I actually think the picture quality is also very slightly better on the newer model.
I also don’t think the LG C8’s processor is quite as good as the A8F...and it’s the same price as the Sony.( in the states).
Here, in the USA:

Indeed, in the USA the Sony OLED A8F is an excellent deal as well (not in Canada though; $1,000 more).

Interesting, Bob. I still don’t think the $200 difference that is now posted makes up for the difference in processor quality. Looking at both sets in the store, I thought with motion the Sony was better. Certainly worth the extra $200 in my mind.
OTOH, the newer A9F was certainly not worth the large difference.

I agree, in the USA either the Sony A8F and LG C8 are both numero uno Best, $$ value.
Just toss a coin or let the wife (girlfriend) have the final last word.

Bob, are you crazy!! If you toss a coin and let the wife or the girlfriend have the final last word and make the choice, she will choose the lowly 42” model that is the most basic low cost TV in the store, LOL.I agree, in the USA either the Sony A8F and LG C8 are both numero uno Best, $$ value.

No, I am not ... ... It cannot be smaller than a 65" Class, and has to be between the two mentioned.

Wouldn’t be laying the law down like that if you were

Congrats on the A8F you will be getting. My pro calibration is scheduled for next week, but in the interim, I have been slowly calibrating it with the eye; I will post my final settings next week, and then the pro's. Out of the box, only Cinema Home is worth a dime - all others, and especially Standard, are junk. The good news is that you can calibrate by input and application (TV, input or apps) and likely, also by resolution. I'll say again, even HD blu-ray on the manually calibrated A8F is stunning, and 4K is extra-ordinary.
@Davey; happily married for 44 years to my high school sweetheart. ...One great grandchildren.
Merry Xmas & Happy New Year.
Bob, I thought you were in your forties, and now you tell me you have been married for 44 years...
