Hi tickedon, apologies - link now added."the Japanese TV giant did however officially release the prices of its mid level 4K XH90 range recently and details on those can be found here. "
'Here' doesn't link anywhere and I can't find anyway to see those other prices noted please?
Hi SonOfSJ, price quoted was from Sony's website - your additional information has been added, thanks."especially since the KD-85ZG9 is still currently listed at £9,999. "
@Andy Bassett The Sony KD-85ZG9 is currently listed at £6,999 at Sevenoaks Hi-Fi, which is half its launch price.
Pc monitor...i dont think so,because of pixel degradation rtings.com this time didnt put on list even one oled.After looking at the Sony A8h on Spare Changes channel, I am as always really impressed with what they have done, but I really don't see a market for the 48inch if it doesn't have certain gaming features like LG has, this is the real selling point of these TVs.
Pc Monitor replacement, Gaming Tv is I think is the market for 48inch,
Sure the pixel density is going to make an excellent picture but the Sony A8h 55icnh is $1899, it's a no brainer for me on what to choose
There is a quite decent difference in size between 48" and 55". And this is a good thing. My parents would never accept a 55" TV (it would just be too big for the space they like to have their TV in), but I might just be able to convince them to get a 48" next time they are in the market!After looking at the Sony A8h on Spare Changes channel, I am as always really impressed with what they have done, but I really don't see a market for the 48inch if it doesn't have certain gaming features like LG has, this is the real selling point of these TVs.

That's exactly what i just thought. Considering you can get a 55" OLED for around the £1000 mark. But then considerably cheaper than Samsung's offerings, much more feature packed with better image quality too. I was expecting a 48" OLED to be cheap around the £800 mark.To be fair, well lower than the Samsung prices!
Agree more 65" 8k tvs. My guess is buying the panels in won't be cheapIt’s a shame they didn’t make a 65 inch version of the ZH8.
It's is not/barely cheaper to produce a 48' panel compared to a 55", they already mentioned that when they were still in the consideration stage. It has only been produced purely for the size aspect so no point in dragging 55" prices into the discussion. But had the RRP/MSRP been higher than a 55", that would have been a '?!'.That's exactly what i just thought. Considering you can get a 55" OLED for around the £1000 mark.

£1500 for the 48" is pushing it a little...
I know the price will drop in/over the coming generations time, but you'd need to be REALLY desperate for an OLED to pay that for a 48".
The LG perhaps, the Sony is barely even mentioned in the media. The purpose was simply a smaller size for European demand, not gaming.This is being pushed as a gaming TV. If you look at the cost of these so-called high end HDR monitors, the launch price of the 48 is okay.
Also its being launched for the first time and LG Display have probably invested in a separate production line to produce them. So its going to be high to start with and will gradually go down in price.
Btw, that a good price for the 85ZG9. Wondering how many zones it has and how the picture quality is?
At the Guangzhou factory, LG Display will for the first time utilize a so-called MMG (multi-model glass) production method, allowing it to cut different sized OLED panels from the same 8.5G substrate. Specifically, the company is planning to cut 77-inch and 48-inch panels from the same substrate.
