We tested the 65-inch model A9G, which is inclined to large size, so the resolution requirement is relatively high. The new flagship processor, the X1 Ultimate, is really good at image processing. Even if you're watching a Netflix original series, the details and noise performance of the UHD blu-ray disc is always worse than that of the real UHD blu-ray disc, but the details presented by the A9G are still very rich.
