According to our television expert
The Sony KD-65ZF9 allows you to enjoy a realistic movie experience. This UHD premium television effortlessly displays 4K and HDR images. This makes every scene sharp, colorful, and clear. You won't miss a single detail of the action, since the 100Hz refresh rate ensures smooth image display. The full array local dimming makes the difference between dark and light parts of the screen extra powerful. This creates a strong contrast between black shades and colors. If there's nothing on TV, open the useful smart TV functions. The Android operating system combines live TV, connected devices, and apps in 1 clear menu. This way, you can easily switch between a TV program and a YouTube video.

After unpacking this huge television (you pull the box off the TV), the TV turns out to be surprisingly slim and flat. With 65” and 36 kg a very colossus that fits very well on our current hollow wall. In due course, the Pioneer Kuro will come off the wall bracket and this Sony on it. Because how great is this image! We can compare with two Samsungs 4k screens and our old Kuro. The difference with the Samsungs is huge and to Samsung's disadvantage. The difference with the Kuro is also quite big, because it is now 4k and the Kuro only full HD. I spent the first 30 minutes installing, which always takes some time. With this Sony it is actually almost intuitive. A simple interface. The manual has not yet been out of the bag and that says enough about the simplicity of operation. Yet this TV has a lot of possibilities. Take just setting the right color. As a photographer I am quite critical and by default I found the colors far too saturated, unreal. In the various correction menus there are many options to adjust the colors completely to your own taste. Also for the sound, but with us it goes to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable. That's always nicer. The TV is connected with LAN via a switch on the router. So it is perfect to see real 4k movies. We have a 100mbps fiber optic connection. So there is no interference due to a too slow connection. We have not yet found a real 4k film at -on demand-, but we have documentaries on youtube. What colors, what sharpness and detail…. But regular HD recordings are also more beautiful on the huge Sony than on the full HD Kuro. Apparently that does matter. The difference is clearly visible. We get an almost cinematic experience watching movies, isn't that what it's all about….?

Have been able to enjoy this monster screen for over 2 weeks now. It is a beautiful display with all the extras you can expect from screens in this segment. The colors are true to life and very important, black is really black! At high resolution, with a white logo you see everything still black. There is no discoloration or distortion in the corners of the screen.
Although there may not be a lot of content available in 4K yet, I have already watched a few videos in 4K. Only then do you really see what a difference 4K can make in relation to HD. I've been told that it also depends on the 4K video how your experience is, but I definitely had the right one.
By default, the TV was on android. This works about the same as your phone. Apps are installed quickly, you can put games on them and with a (Bluetooth) keyboard or controller you can also just play games from the playstore. The sound is fine, although I prefer to also use a soundbar for the deep bass sounds. You imagine yourself in the cinema!

After years of looking at a plasma looking for an upgrade. With the 65 inch I have improved a few image sizes. The image quality is breathtaking. Lifelike colors and an insanely good black value. What I immediately noticed positively compared to other TVs is that this TV does not have a micro stutter when panning (with many TVs in this format I see small bumps with slow camera movement from left to right) The TV is equipped with an Android TV operating system and with it streaming apps like Kodi easy to install. Google assistant also works fine and you can give voice commands to the TV such as "play on spotify" Chromecast is built-in so you can easily cast content from your phone or tablet to the TV. The design is not special, but I personally do not choose the TV based on that. Sound quality, as with all flat TVs, is just mediocre, but that's what soundbars and other audio systems are for to solve that problem. All in all a top device for years of viewing pleasure!
