What reviewers say

AVForums found the exact KD-55AG9 accurate for SDR, sharp in upscaling and strong for motion, with consistent HDR10 tone mapping, though it appeared darker than some rivals and cost more. What Hi-Fi's KD-65AG9 review also praised motion, 1080p performance and sound, but found HDR less dynamic than an LG C9 and occasional visible picture adjustment.
