Product details

Thanks to cognitive intelligence, this Bravia XR TV understands how people see and hear for a revolutionary TV experience. XR OLED Contrast Pro makes the A90J a brilliant OLED, with perfect blacks and
maximum brightness. With this Google TV, you will not only enjoy true cinematic feeling with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, but also an unlimited package of entertainment, VoD services and apps. Bravia Core is pre-installed and includes an extensive selection of current premium titles and popular classic movies in high 4K HDR picture quality. How we perceive the world is based on information coming to our brain simultaneously from our eyes and ears. Normal AI (Artificial Intelligence) can only recognize and analyze elements such as color, contrast, and detail one at a time. The Cognitive Processor XR evaluates all elements at once - just like our brain. How does reality feel? Bravia XR TVs answer that question with cognitive intelligence. They mimic the human perception of the eyes and ears across the screen - for a lifelike experience that puts you right in the middle of the action. Browse for movies in the extensive library included. Bravia XR technology, Pure Stream and Imax Enhanced deliver stunning images and expressive sound no matter what you're watching. OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. Compared to conventional LCD TVs, models with self-luminous organic light-emitting diodes offer much better contrast levels and excellent colour reproduction. In addition, OLED technology allows for an even flatter design, shorter response times and is more efficient and ecological due to the lower energy requirements.

Sony's LCD TVs have not yet grown any picture optimisation weed to counter the rich black of the OLEDs. This would require significantly more individually dimmable zones. The colours on the OLED TV also benefit from the high contrast, although the LCD model can keep up and even deliver more expressive images in very bright surroundings...

Sony also shows with the XR-65A90J that the end of the line has not yet been reached for OLED. The 65-inch screen shines very brightly, displays extreme contrasts and delivers a superbly balanced picture. With "Bravia Encore", the Japanese have also integrated their own streaming service. An additional argument for this premium TV!

    Sony charges a premium price for the top OLED model A90J, as in previous years. However, this buys the customer one of the highest-contrast, most authentic colours and brightest picture displays available on the market for an OLED TV. Even experienced cinema fans will have little or nothing to complain about here...
