I don't think you can get it perfectly vertical but from the reviews I've read it's not leaning to the point where it's majorly distracting but it will be different for everyoine.
Off course, regarding the sound system. It's a must and anyone buying something this price can afford one. I just like how the stand also doubles as a sub from a design point of view.
lol, I wasn't talking about the TV matching your decoration.
What I meant is just having your picture sort of floating in a rectangular frame.
I'm a fan of the minimalistic setup for TV's.
The LG OLED for example just looks great when posted up on the wall and flushes in with the wall because it's so thin and the sound bar is kept away from it.
The SONY is similar on a cabinet since it doesn't have the traditional stand which hoists it up but instead the frame just rests on the cabinet.

I love the design. I like how it just flushes in with whatever it's resting on.
I also like how the screen doubles as the speaker and the stand the sub woofer.
Hmm. $3500+ TV and using integrated speakers. Priorities I guess.
You can't. And we're both in debt now.

Could be ..worse?...like Samsung's UN85S9 Framed 85-Inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV. At one point, this was $40,000 U.S.

Looks a hell of a lot more stable than the bullshit "stand" that's on my Sony X800D

That TV is a flagship TV. It's a good one. Pricey, but good.

My 65" A1 arrived today.
And you don't really notice the tilt at all. Not unless you specifically look for it.
I haven't spent enough time with it yet to "review" its performance, but goddam if it ain't the most beautiful looking TV I've ever seen. It's a beautiful looking piece of furniture.

Congrats and yea that's what most owners on AVSForum say as well, there are some that don't like the tilt but majority of them don't seem to mind or distracted by it.
Might want to head over there for settings and what's not, they have 4-5 threads for the TV, here's the calibration one: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/40-ol...eral/2815857-sony-a1e-calibration-thread.html

The Sammy KS8000 is a nice TV, but as good as a Sony AE1 OLED?
lol no.

The oled tvs outdo everything in dark rooms. They make big budget movie theaters look terrible. ( Of course all the demo material shows brightly colored stuff on velvet black backgrounds).
But probably the sweet $ spot now is the hisense series 7 tv, for a ridiculous budget price you get the majority of the performance of the oled tvs.

I saw those TVs the other day at Best Buy and they are gorgeous! I think they are one of the best TVs currently! I have a 2011 XBR 55" TV and they are incredible! Sony is amazing at doing TVs and have gotten much better. Yes, they are very expensive, but IMO, they are worth it. However, I always wait until the new ones come out, so that the current ones get a huge discount.
If you have the money, buy it! It's an amazing TV, and with a free PS4 PRO, just sweetens the deal.
For me though, I will wait until they announce/release the PS5 to buy a 4K TV, and by then, OLED TVs will be cheaper.

Same panel as the 2017 LG OLEDs. With changes to tone mapping (less accurate in favour of more pop in the extreme bright whites for example), Sony's upscaling and motion handling, Android TV (Which I personally see as a downside) vs WebOS, and a better sound system when compared to LG's B and C models the E and G models come with an integrated sound bar and the W model comes with a separate sound bar.
For me personally it's not worth the extra premium over the LG OLEDs.
Case of design over function. Saw the A1E two days ago for the first time. The thing that immediately caught my eye was the slant towards the back. Looked very distracting, especially when you're in a lazy moot and lay down on the sofa.

I'll get back to you on that.

True, but the average customer paying this much for the TV won't complain about getting a complimentary $400 piece of equipment.

I have a little older 55" XBR810c and love it, but I definitely couldn't afford the TV's in the OP. Still debating on if I should get the PS4 Pro or wait for PS5.
Amazing TV one of the best definitely. The upscaling and motion handling are unmatched. Can't wait what improvement they could achieve next year.
This is a very dumb statement. Either you work for Samsung or huge fan. Samsung TV are really sucks nowadays.
You absolutely would not be getting a better TV. The KS8000 was good, last year, outside of screen bleed/flashligting. This year you buy a X900E if you can't afford/justify an OLED. It blows this years Samsung's and the KS8000 out of the water due to full array.
I own a 65A1E, love it. I don't use the sound feature because I have a full Definitive Technology/Denon Atmos system, but tried it out. Surprisingly OK sound, especially when I aux in one of my subs. Don't really need a soundbar, good separation, pretty neat.
You can buy a LG C7 though for much cheaper, especially if you don't need things like "smooth gradient" on the Sony. I "needed" that feature though. Stupid rainbow bands in the sky drive me crazy.

Standing. It doesn't tilt when wall mounted.
Thanks man, that link is much appreciated.

Yeah it's really weird how bad the image processing is on the LG OLEDs. My old Sony W800 looks much better than the LG B6 in this regard and it has a 6bit panel lol.
Good god...That is a down payment for a house.
Can also get the new and nicer Civics R too for that price.
Yeah but it's not the same watching a sport game on your small 27 inch monitor.

Well, I wouldn't say they suck, it's just that the 2017 Samsung TVs are suffering from the "Bose syndrome" (bad value in that you pay too much for what you get)
The KS8000 was the de facto bang-for-the-buck choice of 2016.......so much so it is actually brighter than a fancy 2017 Samsung Q7 QLED, which is much more expensive.

Nice. Congrats!
Yeah it looked amazing in person when I saw it and have been following the couple of threads for the TV over there since I plan to get the 55" probably at the nice price drop.

Sony is using LG OLED panels but have superior hardware behind it in terms of image processing.
Gamers should be aware that OLED is an emissive pixel technology and that uneven pixel wear is what causes burn-in. You can wear pixels unevenly by displaying a static game HUD on the panel for example.

Image retention, not burn-in. OLED isn't plasma.

We'll see how your TV's panel looks in 5 years then. Good luck.

Had Plasmas. Have OLED. It's very obviously different. Had to babysit the plasma and had burn-in that would never go away no matter how hard it was 'scrubbed' and the images were on screen far less than with the OLED.
Image retention on OLED is never noticeable when switching to dark source material and dissipates quickly in all other formats.
While I don't believe it is would be an issue, with the way panel technology is progressing I have zero interest in keeping this set for 5 years anyways.

One should also note that the input lag for 1080p sources is pretty high with 47ms.
So, out of curiosity, what's the best 4K HDR TV with really low input lag?

Don't look at the 77" OLEDs! Yikes!

http://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag
The TCL P607 seems to be the lowest with 14ms. In terms of OLED the 2017 LG models have 21ms which is pretty good.
They'll be fine. Between orbiting, panel noise, voltage regulation that's basically auto ran, things will be just fine for OLED owners. Thanks for the concern though.
