How Sony makes everything you watch look better.
Our groundbreaking TVs allow you to do more than ever, and the best way to enjoy it all is with
amazing picture quality. Sony combines innovative technologies to create our best picture ever for
sports, movies, cable TV and Internet video.
Best Picture Quality Defined
Clear motion and panning
True black level control that
reveals detail in the shadows
Bright whites that don’t blow
out or flare around the edges
Vibrant lifelike colors
Realistic skin tones
Crisp, distraction-free clarity
Optimized for home viewing.
Many TVs are shown with
maximum brightness in stores.
Sony HDTVs come optimized
for in-home viewing.
4K Ultra HD1
Welcome to four times the clarity of regular HD. See more on TV than ever before with over 8 million pixels
compared to about 2 million on HDTV.1
4K X-Reality™ PRO
Picture Engine
All of the TV programs and movies you already watch are enhanced by the 4K X-Reality™ PRO Picture Engine
for 4K Ultra HD viewing
6 .
X-Reality™ PRO
Picture Engine
This picture engine takes everything you watch—HD movies, sports, even YouTube™ clips and home
movies—and optimizes it with unprecedented detail and astonishing color.
TRILUMINOUS Display
Unique to Sony, the TRILUMINOS Display has a wider range of color than conventional LCD displays, allowing you
to see colors never before seen on TVs. Hard-to-reproduce reds, emerald greens and aqua blues are displayed
beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid, richer and intense. Faces look better, too, with natural
skin tones.
Clear Resolution Enhancer
Fine details and textures appear in whatever you’re watching.
Dynamic Edge LED
Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with local dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright
scenes to perfect a natural look. Rather than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right
areas for a more realistic picture.
Edge LED
Powerful yet thin LEDs deliver a radically brighter picture than conventional LCD backlighting.
Motionflow™ XR
Sports can be seen as clear as they would appear from the sidelines. Motionflow™ XR takes motion clarity
beyond refresh rates (measured in Hz) to double or quadruple the motion effect. The result is a clear picture
during slow panning motions or the fastest action.
TV SideView™ Compatible
Control the TV or browse the channel guide with your smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS), all without
interfering with what you're watching on the TV. Learn more about the show you’re watching right now and
search what’s available to watch on TV, the internet and apps like Netflix.®
Wi-Fi®2 Built-in
(Netflix,® Pandora,® YouTube,® HuluPlus™ & more
Go way beyond cable with access to Full HD 1080p entertainment, 3D content4 and
made-for-TV apps like Netflix,® Pandora,® YouTube,™ Facebook® and more.2
Screen Mirroring
(MHL,7 Miracast,™8 NFC3)
Sony is helping you add value to the entertainment you already own. Using a Mobile High Definition Link (MHL),3
Miracast™8 or Near Field Communication,3 you’ll instantly be able to view exactly what’s on your smartphone’s
screen on the TV. Movies, music and apps are automatically scaled to fit the larger TV screen.
Magnetic Fluid Speaker
Your TV’s loudspeakers have evolved. Unique to Sony, Magnetic Fluid Speaker technology allows a thinner, more
efficient loudspeaker that produces a faithful reproduction of high-fidelity sound with 65 watts of total power.5
Speaker Cabinets
As TVs get smaller, the challenge of producing robust sound increases. Sony Bass Reflex and Long Duct speaker
cabinets are capable of delivering extended low bass frequencies and clear, sparkling high frequencies for
full-range sound. The longer the speaker cabinet, the fuller and richer the sound can be.
Quartz–Cut Design
Inspired by the sharp edges and color found in quartz crystals, the Quartz-cut design brings a new edge to
TV with a hint of translucent color that emphasizes the hidden gem within. Brilliant color, sharp detail and an
overall sense of beauty can be found in the thin border that traces the edge of the TV screen.
