That's good to hear. I believe the A8F is to compete with the C8 and it's close in terms of SRP.
The 65A8F is definitely good value to where the SRP is. With some discounts it could be a decent price. I hv not seen the 65C8 prices as yet.
I believe the 65C8 is going for around RM16k (street price), might be wrong on this though.
Anyways, the one glaring weakness I found with the A8F in comparison to the C8 is in EOTF tracking. The C8 tracks a lot better and only rolls off after 600 nits where as the A8F rolls off after 120 nits. Also the ABL on the A8F is just far too aggressive unless you watch in a pitch black room and have the ABL setting set to Low, but that will also in turn hurt specular highlights.
Other minor complaints include the somewhat high input lag (30ms) and the extremely shallow stand. I don't think the A8F is a good competitor to the C8 to be frank. Sure Sony's upscaling is still king and its enhancements over 8 bit content remains superior to the others, but I don't think its strength beats LG's.
On a second note, I can't wait for the Panasonic FZ800 and FZ950.
