Sony’s A1 OLED was one of our favourite TVs of last year, with just one sticking point: its £3500 starting price meant you needed a pretty sizeable budget to find a spot for it in your living room.

A year on, the company is adding a second 4K OLED to its line-up. The AF8 (or the A8F as it will be known stateside) will sit below the A1 but comes with plenty of the same smarts, an updated design and – most crucially – the hint of a lower price tag.

We got to take a first look at it on Sony’s stand to see how it squares up to the increasingly hot OLED competition.
