A:Answer The Q9 only comes in a flat version. The Q8 is available in a curve. The Q8 has nearly the same specs as the Q9, although the Q9 can achieve higher peak brightness (2,000 nit compared to 1500 nit), has slightly better black levels, and slightly better audio. The Q8 also uses a metal chassis, rather than the poly-carbonate stuff on the Q7 and Q9. As far as I know, there are no plans for a curved Q9.
