High Dynamic Range for lifelike picturesWith High Dynamic Range (HDR), detail lost in the darkest and brightest areas of a picture are preserved, giving a much more dynamic look. See the textures in the shining metal wing of the airplane and the reflections of sunlight on the fuselage.
More clarity, more detail with Full HD
Experience the exquisite detail, contrast and texture of Full HD 1080p. With an image resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, Full HD provides five times more detail than a standard definition picture. Everything you watch is sharper, more defined and more real with minimal noise and maximum impact.
Rediscover every detail with X-Reality PRO
X-Reality PRO picture processing upscales every pixel for exceptional picture clarity. As frames are analysed, each scene is matched with our special image database to refine images and reduce noise – for a picture with incredible realism. The difference is clear with supremely lifelike detail, whatever you're watching.
Made to listen: ClearAudio+
Make your listening as lifelike as your viewing. ClearAudio+ fine-tunes TV sound for an immersive experience that seems to surround you. Hear music, dialogue and surround effects with greater clarity and separation, whatever you're watching.
Narrow aluminium look frame
The narrow frame helps the TV look slim and attractive, focusing the eye on the screen for maximum entertainment. Its aluminium effect finish gives a premium look to the TV, whether on or off.
Cable management
Keep wires out of sight. All of your cables can be neatly arranged across the back of the TV and channelled into the stand, so everything looks tidy.
Motionflow XR keeps the action smooth
Enjoy smooth and sharp details even in fast-moving sequences with Motionflow XR. This innovative technology creates and inserts extra frames between the original ones. It compares key visual factors on successive frames, then calculates the split second of missing action in the sequences. Some models also include black-frame insertion for a blur-free and truly cinematic look.
DSEE restores detail to your digital music
Low-resolution Internet video, catch-up TV 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.
Cable-free front
Hide all your cables from set-top boxes or Blu-ray players within the unique stand.
Cinematic S-Force Front Surround
Enjoy an immersive soundstage that pulls you into the heart of the action. 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.
Super multi-format USB play
Enjoy your favourite digital content from any USB stick. Play music, video clips and view photo collections all through your TV with super multi-format USB play. Supporting a wide range of codecs, you can experience ultimate format versatility, simply plug in and you’re ready to go.
Clear Phase for smooth, balanced frequencies
BRAVIA uses a powerful computer model to analyse 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.
Turn your TV into a digital recorder: USB HDD REC
Store your favourite TV shows on an external USB hard disk drive to enjoy whenever you want. USB HDD REC allows one-touch and timer recording of a digital broadcast onto any USB HDD device up to 2TB in capacity. While viewing the show, simply press REC to start recording, which will automatically stop at the end of the programme.
