Sideload the apk, not sure why not available on Play Store despite Apple say support all Android TV. Login into my free Apple TV+ subscription on my Sony X9000F with Android 9.

Apple TV+ video don’t play well on my tv as the video become pixelated but the audio still playing.
It will be available on Playstore progressively. Sideload Apple TV app will not work as well since previous versions are all locked to specific TV models.

oh man! that's a downer. then i might have to consider X90J if i am getting Sony then. cant go higher than 55" ....
not sure if $3599 for A80J is worth it
At that price, I buy an oled any day. Not worth la. If it is 55” Qled or led, I think should pay more than $2499

I sideload the universal Apple TV apk it does allow to login and work as play store haven’t shown up yet. Just that any content with Dolby vision don’t playback properly on my X90F.

Of course sideload with Sony Apple TV apk don’t work as it not officially support by Sony itself.

you should check out any of the big retail stores. Don't hurry yourself or be shy. Just ask. Confirmed cheaper than Sony Stores. Warranty and whatever freebies (if any) also same as in buying directly from Sony Stores.

Each chain will have their sales, you can't ask for a recommendation like that.
Go down and check out the sales or at least read the papers and get to know the various prices. The final price is also likely to be lower if you do your homework.

65" A80J $4299 very good price leh.

got one in Jan 2021 65" A8H $4600

ps. i look at Sony site the offer 65" @$4999 is with trade in.
Do you need to trade in?
No trade in, just walked around orchard going to the different stores and telling them the best price I had so far, lowest sony store (Wisma) would go was 4499. Best had some extra promo for 6.6 and fathers day that they stacked and gave me that price.

Trade in offer was terrible, $300 for a good condition OLED over 55". I need to get rid of my LG CX 55 now!

That's a very good deal. Who say new model cannot be cheaper than an older one. I anticipate A80J to cost more than A8H hence i just grab the 65" A8H at $4.6K in January. Lol bad mistake. the XR processing looks very promising.
