The Beauty of Contrast, the Brilliance of Colours: The beauty of contrast meets the brilliance of colours with Sony unique technologies and QD-OLED. Deep blacks and vibrant hues come together, filling the screen with lifelike detail that brings every scene to life with stunning clarity.

Over 8 Million Self-Lit Pixels, Intense Brightness and Contrast: The pinnacle of precision. Sony’s QD-OLED screen individually and expertly controls 8 million self-illuminating pixels, turning each one on or off to dark and light for deeper blacks and more dazzling colours.

Crystal Clear Pictures with AI Technology: Rediscover detail. XR Clear Image uses a custom database to intelligently convert your favourites to near 4K. Noise is minimised through zone division and dynamic frame analysis for sharper, more refined images.

Even Fast-Moving Action Stays Clear and Blur-Free: All the action, free of blur and judder. XR OLED Motion detects and analyses visual elements on successive frames, then creates and inserts extra frames between the originals for smoother scenes.

Unmatched Realism with XR Processor™ and AI Technology: Powered for precision. Sony’s XR Processor features an AI scene recognition system that detects and analyses data with flawless accuracy, then optimises the picture for ultimate realism.

Screen Speaker, Always Cinematic: Your screen becomes a speaker with Bravia 8 II. Actuators vibrate behind the screen, delivering crisp, immersive sound straight from the action, just like in the cinema.

Sound from the Screen, Precisely Matching Action: Sound and pictures, perfectly in sync. Acoustic Surface Audio +™ with tweeter turns every part of the screen into a powerful speaker that emits sound from exactly the right place in the scene. Hear dialogue straight from the actor and bring the theatre-like experience to your home.

Crystal Clear voice with AI Technology: No more muffled voices. Sony’s Voice Zoom 3™ recognises human dialogue through AI machine learning and amplifies or reduces its volume so even small dialogue sounds loud and clear. Works with Sony home theatre products too.

Intelligent Processing Upscales Ordinary Stereo Sound to Extraordinary 3D Surround: Be immersed. Sony’s 3D Surround Upscaling creates virtual surround from above and the sides using just the TV speakers. Even 2ch and 5.1ch audio is upscaled to immersive 5.1.2ch sound. Moreover, Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® support provides unforgettable spatial sound.

Entertainment you Love with Help from Google: Google TV™ brings together movies, shows, and more from across your apps and subscriptions and organises them just for you.
