Master Series: The Sony Master Series is the name given to only the highest-grade
televisions equipped with the best of Sony technology. The Master Series was
created to provide the image quality approaching that of a professional-grade
monitor in a motion picture production studio. Sony's objective was to create a
television capable of images that faithfully convey the content creators' full
intent. For over fifty years, Sony has been pushing the limits
of TV picture quality. Now Sony's expertise in Mastering content creation with
filmmakers and perfecting screens that replicate the creator's intent has come
together in their new Master Series TVs. Master Series TVs meet the strict
criteria of Sony's top engineers and faithfully convey the creator's intent,
making beautiful images a reality. Master Series aims for TV picture quality
with the brightness to illuminate every detail, darkness deep enough to engulf
viewers, and colors beautiful enough to captivate the audience. The Master
Series is precisely calibrated at the factory for white balance and uniformity
to meet the needs of professional creators and ensure consistently high
performance.
OLED Technology w/ Pixel Contrast Booster: This TV screen has millions of
self-illuminating OLED pixels that can be individually activated to reproduce
truly lifelike pictures. With over 8 million self-illuminating, individually
controlled OLED pixels, you'll see real black, incredible contrast, and lifelike
color. These OLED pixels work individually and can be turned off completely to
deliver absolute black. Each pixel can go from off to bright in a fraction of a
second. Because each pixel lights up independently, you'll see more accurate
detail, color, and shades in every scene. This level of supreme contrast reveals
detail, depth, textures, and colors for a view that's stunningly real. See video
images that are bright and clear from any angle. Even in fast-moving scenes
there's no blur; you'll see everything in perfect clarity. This TV also pairs
the deep black and natural color of OLED with Sony's Pixel Contrast Booster for
enhanced color contrast in high luminance. Everything you watch comes to life
with fine detail, enhanced texture, and vivid color.
Picture Processor X1 Ultimate: Moving from film to TV requires
content to be digitally compressed, which affects picture quality. What the
creator sees during shooting is encoded before transmission to the television,
then decoded and converted so it can be displayed on the panel. In developing
Master Series TVs, Sony wanted to recapture the creator's perfectly finished
image as a digital signal while minimizing deterioration. Sony's Picture
Processor X1 Ultimate minimizes image deterioration during this process
utilizing the following technologies. While developing Picture Processor X1 Ultimate, Sony followed a 'not one bit
lost' philosophy. Signals are processed at ultra-high bit rates, then restored
to their original quality. High-precision components in the signal processor help preserve detail across
the whole image for TV ultimate realism and visual expression. With
unmatched processing power, the Picture Processor X1 Ultimate detects hundreds
of different objects on-screen and intelligently enhances brightness, detail and
color so everything you watch is clear, bright and incredibly realistic.
- Object-Base Super Resolution: Object-based Super
Resolution technology detects individual objects in a picture and preserve
detail on-screen. Hundreds of objects are identified and their resolution
individually enhanced to give a picture of exceptional accuracy and detail.
- Super Bit Mapping 4K HDR: Super Bit Mapping 4K HDR
creates a smoother, more natural picture by minimizing its color banding.
With 14-bit powerful signal processing, it breaks up the solid bands of
color of an 8-bit or 10-bit source, up-converting to 14-bit equivalent
gradation, with 64x more color levels. It delivers graceful reproduction of
faces, sunsets, and other areas of subtle color. It creates smooth, natural
4K TV picture quality as you watch, without the "banding" that can occur on
other TVs.
- Precision Color Mapping: Precision Color Mapping
independently analyzes every scene and pixel so the perfect shade and tone
are applied dynamically for rich, natural colors. It enhances and optimizes
colors individually and finely in real time. It controls every color
perfectly for rich and natural results.
- Object-Based HDR ReMaster: With Object-based HDR
reMaster, the color in individual objects on screen is analyzed and the
contrast adjusted; unlike most TVs where contrast is only adjusted along one
black-to-white contrast curve. Because objects are reMastered individually,
this TV can reproduce greater depth, textures, and more realistic pictures.
By analyzing the objects in each scene individually, Object-based HDR
reMaster optimizes and enhances color and contrast. It brings everything you
watch closer to the quality of HDR. Dark elements get darker, bright
elements brighter, and everything in between is more accurately lit, for
realism in every scene never-before-possible on our TVs. You'll see contours
on mountains, hidden textures on flowers, depth in clouds, and wildlife has
the contrast and color of nature, for a more natural and realistic picture
on screen.
- Dynamic Contrast Enhancer: The Dynamic Contrast
Enhancer optimizes the range of brightness frame-by-frame according to
what's happening on screen to reproduce deeper blacks, brighter whites, and
more video color.
Note: Sony's OLED TVs are designed to prevent image
burn-in. The TV's 4K HDR Processor X1 Extreme detects if there is a static
image on screen and shifts the pixel to avoid burn-in or image retention.
Ultra 4K Resolution: For the ultimate in picture quality, this TV pairs
the brilliance of 4K clarity with the brightness, color, and detail of High
Dynamic Range (HDR). With 4K UHD, you'll see more on TV than ever before
with over 8 million individual pixels (3,840 x 2,160) compared to about 2
million (1,920 x 1,080) on a1080p HDTV. Its detail is so vivid and crisp,
even when viewed from close distances; it's nearly impossible to discern a
single pixel, even from inches away. Combined with 4K Ultra HD resolution, HDR video content
delivers exceptional detail, color and contrast, with a far wider range of
brightness than other video formats. The result is the most lifelike picture TVs
have ever been able to create, with brilliant highlights and fine detail.
HDR (High Dynamic Range): High Dynamic Range (HDR)
enhances the dynamic range of a picture, increasing the contrast between the
brightest whites and darkest blacks. Every pixel is made more accurate,
regardless of resolution, bringing scenes to life with greater detail. HDR's
greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels brings greater
contrast & wider color spectrum to the screen. This increased contrast
reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to
the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. Previously hidden areas
of dark shadow and sunlight are now full of clarity and detail. Movies and
TV shows in HDR are closer to the original recording and the director's
vision with more brightness, contrast and color, for a truly lifelike
viewing experience.
- HDR 10: HDR 10 is an open standard and currently
the most popular HDR format on the market. It supports 10-bit color and
1,000 nits. It uses static metadata at the start of a movie to tell the
receiver and your TV that the video content is encoded using HDR.
- HLG: HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma) is primarily designed
for live video feed and over-the-air broadcasts. It uses no pre-encoded
metadata and is backwards compatible with SDR. HLG's native
compatibility allows much of today's existing SDR infrastructure to be
re-used for HDR in the future.
- Dolby Vision (Firmware Update Available): Unlike HDR 10 which contains static metadata
and HLG which uses not metadata, Dolby Vision adjusts brightness, color,
and contrast automatically for each scene. Dynamic metadata carries
information that maps every image to your TV's display capabilities, so
you see more of what the content creator intended.
Note: Please use a premium high speed HDMI cable with 18
Gbps and above to view HDR content.
4K X-Reality Pro Upscaler w/ Dual Database Processing: Sony's 4K X-Reality Pro Upscaler
w/ Dual Database Processing enhances Ultra-HD, HD, and SD images by analyzing
and refining images with beautifully natural detail and clarity. One database is
used to clean the picture, reducing on-screen noise. The other is used to
upscale the resolution, improving clarity. These two powerful image improvement
databases work together, dynamically improving pixels in real time. Each
database has tens of thousands of references, amassed from our experience
creating content for TV and movies over the years. With 4K X-Reality PRO and
Dual Database Processing, every image is upscaled closer to true 4K quality for remarkable clarity. This 4K television upscales
your favorite TV shows, DVD and Blu-ray movies, even video-on-demand content,
and smartphone videos to Ultra-HD.
- Noise Reduction Database: Compressed noise is identified by the
database, which includes "before and after" data on what a picture should
look like and removes the compressed picture noise
- Upscaling Database: The upscaling database also includes "before
and after" data, which is used to upscale the signal and create a more
realistic picture
TRILUMINOS Display: Unique to Sony, a TRILUMINOS Display
with its specially developed backlight selectively maps colors across a wider
gamut, ensuring subtle colors do not become oversaturated and unnatural. You'll
enjoy vivid, authentic images that evoke the emotion in every scene. TRILUMINOS Display
uses a wider color spectrum than a
conventional flat-panel TV display. A TRILUMINOS Display excels at reproducing reds,
greens, and blues; colors that are notoriously difficult for TVs to display
accurately. It also displays skin tones beautifully, thanks to its extensive
color palette and precise gradation.
X-Wide Angle: With Sony's Master Series OLED, you can bring the whole
family together to enjoy TV and they'll all have a great view of the action from
any seat in the room. Sony's X-Wide Angle
panel ensures colors stay true from wherever you're watching; you'll see
pictures that are bright and clear from any angle. Now, watching TV from the
sides is as satisfying as from the center. The TV's screen is also edged with a
slim, narrow, 4-sided frame that maximizes the viewing area. In addition, the
TV's "easel" design lets you focus on the screen with no distraction of a
pedestal stand.
Motionflow XR w/ X-Motion Clarity: Sony's latest X-Motion Clarity technology keeps
everything smooth, bright and clear. Even in fast moving scenes, there's very
minimal blur, so you can enjoy smooth pictures with outstanding clarity. Each
OLED pixel can go from off to bright in a fraction of a second and each "blink"
is individually controlled and its duration optimized, while brightness is
boosted when needed, so you won't miss a thing. Enjoy smooth and sharp details,
even in fast-moving sequences, with Motionflow XR. This innovative technology
creates and inserts extra frames between the original ones. It compares key
visual factors on successive frames, then calculates the split second of missing
action in the sequences.
Video Inputs: The Sony Master Series OLED TV is equipped with HDMI
2.1 and 3.5mm video inputs.
- HDMI 2.1: The OLED TV is fitted with four HDMI
2.1 inputs to connect your Ultra-HD/HDR and HD sources; such as Ultra
Blu-ray, Blu-ray, Satellite/Cable and Playstation. In addition, any HDMI
input can be used to connect a PC to this TV. The HDMI inputs will accept
4K (60Hz), 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals.
- HDCP 2.3: HDCP 2.3 is supported by all of the TV's
HDMI inputs. HDCP 2.3 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content
Protection" and is used for 4K/HDR video copyright protection for
compatibility with Ultra HD Blu-ray players and 4K Satellite/Cable
providers.
- 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: All four HDMI inputs will
support up to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for full color data rendering of
4K video (30/60fps). 4:2:2 (30/60fps) and 4:2:0 (60fps) are also
supported by all HDMI inputs. With 4:4:4 color, luminance (brightness)
and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate, resulting in an RGB
color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with
more total colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail.
- 3.5mm AV Input: In addition to HDMI connectivity, there
is also a 3.5mm AV input for connection of an analog audio/video component.
There are no standard composite or component video inputs.
Note: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and
Clear QAM tuners with an RF-coaxial input, so you don't need a
separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or
unencrypted Digital Cable signals.
IMAX Enhanced Technology (via Firmware Update): Get the most
premium at-home entertainment experience with
IMAX Enhanced; the
latest technology program from IMAX that sets a new standard for image, sound,

audio/video content will also look and sound great too.
- Remastered 4K/HDR Video: It utilizes a sophisticated,
advanced algorithm designed to produce the highest-quality, sharpest 4K HDR
images. This advanced process accurately reduces noise and grain under the
filmmaker's guidance to best optimize the content for a much higher quality,
higher brightness 4K HDR display format. Select IMAX Enhanced titles that
were shot with IMAX cameras or specially formatted for IMAX theatres will
also include an expanded aspect ratio for the film's home release to show
your more picture on your TV. IMAX Enhanced certified TVs must be at least
65" with support for HDR10 and dynamic, as well as specific calibration,
resolution, color, brightness, contrast, and scale of image capabilities.
- Remastered DTS:X Audio: IMAX and DTS will also partner
with award-winning Hollywood sound mixers to use a special variant of its
DTS:X codec technology integrated in home audio equipment to deliver an IMAX
signature sound experience that is dynamic, immersive, theatrical, and
powerful. IMAX Enhanced supports both 5.1 and 11.1 formats, but the
recommended speaker layout for an IMAX Enhanced system is 7.2.4 with seven
horizontal speakers, two subwoofers and four height speakers; 5.1.4 is the
minimum layout for IMAX Enhanced. However, due to various constraints you
may opt to install only a 5.1ch speaker system. In such cases, DTS Virtual:X
is required to properly render and remap audio to the available speakers.
- Available IMAX Content: IMAX is working with its global
studio and other content partners to build a steady stream of IMAX Enhanced
versions of movies and other programming using the newest, proprietary
post-production process developed by IMAX. IMAX will be announcing and
releasing IMAX Enhanced versions of a wide range of films both for 4K/HDR
streaming and Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs.
Notes: - To take full advantage of IMAX Enhanced, you need an IMAX Enhanced
certified 4K/HDR TV (65"-up) or Projector and an IMAX Enhanced certified
DTS:X enabled AV receiver or soundbar.

receivers, projectors, sound bars, and must meet stringent performance
standards established by IMAX, DTS and Hollywood's leading colorists in
order to create a consistent and higher bar for image and sound
performance on premium devices.
Netflix Calibrated Mode: Netflix has been actively
investing in the production of original programming using the latest video image
standards, and has developed Netflix Calibrated Mode in conjunction with Sony to
ensure picture quality preservation. This mode was specially developed to
reproduce the same picture quality as a studio evaluation Master for television
in order to preserve the filmmaker's vision and intent.
Light Sensor & Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE): The TV's
built-in Light Sensor automatically adjusts the picture brightness based on the
amount of light in the room. As a result, you can enjoy automatic customized
picture brightness and save energy without lifting a finger. The televisions
Advance Contrast Enhancer (ACE) automatically adjusts backlight and contrast to
the most suitable setting judging from the brightness of the screen. This
setting is especially effective for dark scenes, and will increase the contrast
distinction for the darker picture scenes.
Live Color Technology: Powered by an image processor using an
algorithm specially developed by Sony, Live Color is able to reproduce
incredibly vivid colors on screen. With four user-adjustable settings available
(High/Medium/Low/Off),
you can choose just how vivid you want your images to be. Whether it's a
brilliant blue sky or a bright red rose, everything stands out so much more with
Live Color.
24pTrue Cinema (24p Input Capability): Many movies are
filmed at 24 frames per second (fps) and prime time TV programs are video taped
at 24p. Seizing on an opportunity, some studios are taking a purist approach and
encoding high definition video content such as Blu-ray Disc in 24p. Sony wisely
takes advantage of this by including 24p input capability via HDMI on this
television producing images that are smooth and natural looking.
Picture Adjustments: The TV offers a variety of screen,
picture, and video adjustments to maximize image quality.
- Screen Modes: The Screen Modes feature allows you to
select the screen display which fits the current video image and TV screen

Audio Features
Acoustic Surface Audio+ Technology: With Acoustic Surface
Audio+, sound comes directly from the screen with three actuators behind the TV
vibrating delicately to create sound that move with the picture so dialog and
special effects can be heard from precisely the right place . Two side-facing
subwoofers provide powerful bass and a spatial effect that allows sound to
travel from one side of the room to the other. This allows a perfect unification
of picture and sound unattainable by conventional TVs. It produces a wide sound
and image synchronization from all angles, even off to the sides. Together with OLED's exceptionally wide viewing
angle, the TV offers unmatched visual and aural experience regardless of viewing
position.
Note: The speakers of this TV provide different sound
images according to how you position the television. You can select between
"Table-Top Stand" or "Wall Mount" to provide the best sound quality based on the
television's placement.
TV Center Speaker Mode: You can use the Sony Master Series TV as a
center speaker and hear dialog, vocals and instruments with exceptional clarity.
Simply connect your AV receiver's center channel speaker output to the binding
post terminals on back of the the Sony Master Series TV to transform it into a
high-quality center speaker. And thanks to Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio+

from the screen. The TV's center speaker is rated at 8-ohms and 100 watts.
Sony Sound Technologies: The OLED TV utilizes a variety of
proprietary Sony technologies to enhance and optimize sound quality.
- S-Force Front Surround: S-Force Front Surround mimics the
way the brain correlates sound sources to create proper volume, time lag, and
sound wave spectrum; using only left and right speaker channels. By naturally
emulating three-dimensional sound fields, you'll enjoy rich, high-fidelity audio
across a wider listening area.
- ClearAudio+: ClearAudio+ fine-tunes TV sound for an
immersive experience that seems to surround you. Hear music, dialog, and
surround effects with greater clarity and separation, whatever you're
watching.
- Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE): Low-resolution
Internet video and other heavily compressed audio files don't always sound so
great. A large amount of information gets thrown away when digital audio is
compressed. With Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) technology, lost
frequency components (especially high frequencies) are restored for natural
sound with a more spacious feel.
- Clear Phase: Sony uses a powerful computer model to analyze
and compensate for inaccuracies in speaker response. It does this by "sampling"
the speaker frequency with higher precision. This information is fed back to
cancel out any peaks or dips in the speaker's natural response; resulting in
pure, natural audio with smooth, even reproduction of all frequencies.
Other Audio Settings: The Sony Master Series OLED TV also features several
audio settings to help tailor the sound to your preference, application, and
source.
- Sound Presets & 7-Band EQ: The TV offers six EQ preset sound modes - Standard,

(125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz). You can adjust the level of each
band between -12 to +12 dB.
- Dialog Enhancer: The Dialog Enhancer feature emphasizes
voices and makes them clearer while lowering background sound.
- Volume Offset & Auto Volume: Volume Offset adjusts the
volume level of the current input relative to other inputs. The Advanced Auto
Volume function keeps the volume level constant across all programs and
advertisements.
eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel): The Enhanced Audio Return Channel within
the television's HDMI 3 input enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send
audio data "upstream" to an AV receiver; increasing user flexibility and
eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature
allows audio to be sent from the television to your AV receiver through the
same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This
eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. eARC allows audio from
the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any
analog connected device to be heard through your eARC compatible AV receiver via
the television's HDMI eARC input.
- The audio from the TV's tuner, HDMI inputs, USB ports, and Android TV
apps can pass as Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X,
and DTS HD Master Audio; as well as 2ch, 5.1ch, and 7.1ch PCM
- Analog connected & DLNA compliant devices will be output audio at 2ch
PCM only.
Note: Your AV receiver or soundbar will also have to
support eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) to accommodate the playback of
these high resolution audio formats. If your AV receiver or soundbar only
supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), audio playback will be limited to Dolby
Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, and 5.1ch/2ch PCM.
Audio Outputs: The Sony Master Series OLED TV offers analog and
digital audio outputs, as well as Bluetooth A2DP.
- Digital Audio (Dolby Digital/DTS): The optical digital
