Product details

No matter what you watch, you get near 4K quality with the unique Cognitive Processor XR. You can also enjoy stunning contrast on the OLED display, which is professionally controlled by unique technology.
So you get realistic depth and rich blacks in every scene. Cognitive Processor XR elevates picture and sound to one level. Revolutionary processor in Sony's Bravia XR TVs reproduces content the way people see and hear it. This makes for an incredibly realistic viewing experience. It understands how the human eye focuses and analyzes images to present realistic depth, incredible contrast, and beautifully vibrant colors.

With XR OLED Contrast Pro, colors and contrasts are enhanced in bright areas for exceptionally realistic images with absolutely pure blacks and maximum brightness. This OLED TV features a temperature sensor , high brightness screen and Cognitive Processor XR to detect screen temperature and precisely control lights to simultaneously illuminate pixels in bright areas. With Cognitive Processor XR, XR Triluminos Pro enables the A80K to reproduce over a billion colors in subtle, realistic shades. Combined with the wide color spectrum and user-oriented processor, colors can be recognized based on saturation, hue and brightness, and natural hues can be reproduced.

With XR HDR Remaster, this TV recognizes every object on the screen, analyzes its color, and adjusts the contrast. This makes the images even more realistic. Object-based processing with Bravia XR lets you adjust shading, saturation, brightness, motion vector, bandwidth, and more - that's precision completely defined. The result is exceptionally lifelike scenes with more depth, realistic textures, and natural colors. XR 4K Upscaling gives you near-4K quality entertainment regardless of content or source.

Cognitive Processor XR leverages large amounts of data and intelligently restores lost texture and detail. XR Super Resolution recognizes individual objects in an image and reproduces authentic structures on the screen. Bravia XR Processor precisely analyzes and processes data to produce 4K images with lifelike details and textures at four times the resolution of Full HD. XR Smoothing creates smooth, natural-looking 4K images without the banding that is possible with other TVs. Scenes are rendered with thousands of hues, shades and gradations, making them look extremely lifelike. With the Cognitive Processor XR, XR OLED Motion combats blur by detecting and analyzing core visual elements in images. It then creates and inserts additional images between the original sequences to render even fast action scenes sharply. Watching TV from the side is now just as impressive as watching from the front.

Self-illuminating OLED screen reproduces colors consistently and realistically - from any angle. With Bravia, you're ahead of the game. HDMI 2.1 gives you a refresh rate of up to 120 bps. So you can take on any challenge and see everything on screen almost instantly during shooters and sports and high-performance games. With the low input delay of 8.5 ms at 4K/120 BpS and the special gaming mode, gaming is even more fun.
