Why you will love it
QD-OLED picture with XR Processor
Sony says the QD-OLED screen controls over 8 million self-illuminating pixels individually, turning each one on or off for deeper blacks and more colour.
XR Contrast Booster 25 uses a high luminance panel and a temperature sensor. Sony says it controls light precisely for brighter pure black pictures. XR Triluminos Max handles colour, and the XR Processor uses AI scene recognition to tune the picture.
Sharper and smoother
XR Clear Image uses a custom database to convert lower resolution content to near 4K, with noise reduced through zone division and dynamic frame analysis, according to Sony. Results vary with the source.
XR OLED Motion analyses successive frames and inserts extra frames between the originals for smoother scenes.
Less glare, wide viewing angle
Sony says the QD-OLED panel reduces the effects of glare and reflection from daylight and room light, so dark scenes stay clear. It also says the panel keeps luminance constant across viewing angles for consistent colour.
The screen is the speaker
Acoustic Surface Audio+ uses actuators that vibrate behind the screen so sound comes from where the action is on screen. Sony lists two actuators and two subwoofers, with 15W + 15W + 10W + 10W of audio power.
Voice Zoom 3 uses AI to recognise human dialogue and raise or lower its volume. 3D Surround Upscaling creates virtual surround from the TV speakers, and Sony lists Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support.
Gaming connections
Sony lists four HDMI inputs with the HDMI 2.1 features 4K120, eARC, VRR, ALLM and SBTM. Sony's footnotes say 100Hz and 120Hz input is supported on HDMI 3 and 4, and VRR is listed for HDMI 3 and 4. ALLM is listed on all four inputs.
The TV also has PlayStation 5 features listed, Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode, plus FPS game and RTS game picture modes.
Two stand positions
The aluminium edge stand has two positions. One is the standard setting, and the other is soundbar-friendly. Sony also lists a 300 x 300 mm VESA hole pitch for wall mounting.
Google TV and connectivity
Google TV brings together shows and movies from your apps. Sony lists Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Apple HomeKit, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
