4K HDR: 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). 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.
4K X-Reality Pro Upscaler: Sony's 4K X-Reality Pro
Upscaler enhances Ultra-HD, HD, and SD images by analyzing and refining images
with beautifully natural detail and astounding color. This 4K television
upscales your favorite TV shows, DVD and Blu-ray movies, even video-on-demand
content, and smartphone videos to Ultra-HD quality. This unique 4K X-Reality PRO
picture processing technology upscales every pixel for remarkable clarity.
Advanced noise reduction techniques and a special pattern database ensure every
scene is full of lifelike detail. One database is used to clean the picture,
reducing on-screen noise; the other is used to upscale the resolution, improving
clarity; while another database improves color, brightness, and contrast. These
three powerful image improvement databases work together, dynamically improving
pixels in real time. Each database has tens of thousands of references, amassed
from Sony's experience creating content for TV and movies over the years.
- Upscaling Database: Unique to Sony, 4K X-Reality PRO picture
processing upscales every pixel for remarkable clarity. Pixels across
multiple frames are analyzed and images sharpened and refined in real time.
You will immediately see the detail appear in faces and skin tones.
- Pattern Database: With 4K X-Reality PRO, patterns in images are
compared with patterns stored in a unique database to find the best hue,
saturation, and brightness for each pixel. Sony uses the knowledge gained
from developing and filming blockbuster movies and TV shows to deliver
supremely lifelike detail in everything you watch.
- 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. A variety of noise
reduction techniques are then used by 4K X-Reality PRO to sharpen and refine
images. You'll immediately see how scenes become clearer, smoother, and more
natural.
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. The more
pencils you have to draw an image, the more vibrant and lifelike it becomes.
TRILUMINOS Display works in the same way, using a wider color spectrum than a
conventional LED-LCD 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.
MotionFlow XR 240 Technology: Enjoy smooth and sharp details
even in fast-moving sequences with Motionflow XR 240. Sony's MotionFlow XR 240
technology features a backlight control that is synchronized with the liquid
crystal movement from frame-to-frame creating clearer, sharper moving images.
MotionFlow XR 240 combines 60 frames-per-second with the TV's LED backlight
system to simulate a 240 Hz effect. This innovative technology creates and
inserts extra frames between the original ones and then compares key visual
factors on successive frames, then calculates the split second of missing action
in the sequences. MotionFlow XR 240 provides smooth detail during fast-action
scenes for fast action movies and sports by reducing blur caused by quick camera
movements, enhancing image sharpness, and overall creating a clearer picture.
Video Inputs: The Sony Ultra-HD TV is equipped with HDMI
2.0a, Component, and Composite video inputs. A back cover has to be removed to
access these video inputs.
- HDMI 2.0a: The Ultra-HD TV is fitted with four HDMI
2.0a 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, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. HDMI inputs 2 & 3 will do 4K
(60Hz), while HDMI inputs 1 & 4 will only support 4K (30/24Hz).
- HDCP 2.2: HDCP 2.2 is supported by all of the TV's
HDMI inputs. HDCP 2.2 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content
Protection" and is used for 4K 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.
- Component/Composite: There is one combination analog
video input that can be used as a component or composite video input; it
shares a single stereo RCA audio input. As a component video input, it will
accept 1080p (60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. As a composite
video input, it will support 480i video signals only. There is also a 3.5mm
AV input for connection of an analog audio/video component.
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.
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
best. Choose from Wide Zoom, Normal, Full, Zoom, or Auto Wide. Based on the
original signal source, you may see black bars around the picture or just on
the both sides of the screen. Sometimes you will see the picture fill the
full screen.
- Picture Modes: You can select one of the following
picture modes - Standard, Vivid, Cinema (Pro/Home), Sports, Animation, and
Custom.
- Advanced Video Settings: The Advanced Video Settings
menu offers further adjustment of the TV's video image.
- Brightness: You can increase or decrease the
brightness of an image by adjusting the TV's Brightness, Contrast, Gamma
(adjusts light/dark balance), Black Level, and Black Adjust (enhances
black areas).
- Color: You can tailor the color of an image by
adjusting the TV's Color, Hue, Color Temperature (white balance), Color
Space (sets color reproduction range), or Live Color (produces vivid
colors).
- Clarity: You can improve the clarity of an image by
adjusting the TV's Sharpness, Reality Creation (increases clarity),
Resolution (increases detail), and Noise reduction (removes noise).
- Motion: Activate Sony's Motionflow technology to
reduce motion blur and judder.
CineMotion provides improved picture
movement and reduces picture blur and graininess for film-based content,
like Blu-ray & DVD.
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.
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.
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.
PIP (Picture-in-Picture): Through an over-the-network firmware update,
the TV will support PIP (Picture-in-Picture). This feature lets you watch the
TV's over-the-air tuner in a small window on-screen, while viewing an Android TV
app (like Netflix or Amazon).
Audio Features
ARC (Audio Return Channel): The 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 A/V 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 A/V 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. ARC allows audio from
the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any
analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via
the television's HDMI ARC input.
- The audio from the TV's tuner, HDMI inputs, USB ports, and Android TV
apps can pass as Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, DTS, or 2ch PCM.
- Analog connected & DLNA compliant devices will be output audio at 2ch
PCM only.
Note: Both the television and the receiver must support
ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an AV receiver that
is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 3
input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel
(ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is
necessary.
Audio Outputs: The Sony Ultra-HD TV offers analog and
digital audio outputs.
- Digital Audio (Dolby Digital/DTS): The optical digital
output terminal will output Dolby Digital/DTS (when available) or 2 channel
PCM. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby
Digital/DTS when receiving Dolby Digital/DTS surround sound from a digital
broadcast channel through the tuner, network apps, HDMI inputs, and USB
ports on the TV. The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch
stereo from sources connected to the TV via RCA.
- Headphone/Analog Output: The TV's 3.5mm analog output
can be used to connect a set of headphones or as an audio output to connect
your home theater receiver or soundbar system. You will need a
minijack-to-RCA adapter (sold separately) to make a stereo RCA connection
between the television and your AV receiver. The TV's analog audio output
terminal will output 2ch audio from any of the television's source inputs.
You can set the TV's analog output to Fixed or Variable. You can set the TV
to automatically mute the built-in speakers when a set of headphones are
connected.
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.
EQ: The TV offers four EQ preset sound modes - Standard,
Cinema, Music, and Live Football. The TV is also equipped with a 7-band EQ
(125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz). You can adjust the level of each
band between -12 to +12 dB.
Voice Zoom & Night Mode: The Voice Zoom feature makes voices
clearer by lowering background sound. Night mode provides a clear sound at a low
volume levels.
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.
TV Position: 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.
