Sony Z9G 85″ 8K Master Series LED (2019)
Sony’s early 8K flagship made you choose: just one HDMI 2.1 port (HDMI 4) unlocks 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz, while the other three ports stay locked at HDMI 2.0b. That single HDMI 2.1 input receives 48Gbps bandwidth, but sharing it across 8K and gaming is a real bottleneck. HDMI 3 carries eARC, and optical audio provides…
