Perfect for PlayStation®5


Renew, recycle and reduce, designed for the environment


Our BRAVIA XR TVs are designed for immersive experiences with the environment in mind. We are committed to using less virgin plastic in our TVs and packaging. The Z9K uses Sony-developed SORPLASâ„¢ with a recycle rate of up to 85% in its rear cover. Our unique backlight control technologies, BRAVIA CAM and sensors not only deliver high picture quality but also reduce power consumption.

Feel real-life depth with flawless contrast and brightness


Our XR Backlight Master Drive utilizes a unique local dimming algorithm to control thousands of tiny, high-density Mini LEDs with absolute precision and independence. It focuses light for maximum brightness almost without flare or halos around highlights.

A wide color spectrum for real-world shades and hues


Powered by our Cognitive Processor XRâ„¢, XR Triluminos Pro enables Z9K to access over a billion colors and reproduce each one with the subtle differences seen in the real world. Together with our wide color gamut panel and human-centric processor, it can detect color from saturation, hue and brightness to deliver natural shades in every detail.

Recreating lost texture, all your content upscaled to 8K


With XR 8K Upscaling, you'll enjoy entertainment close to 8K quality, whatever the content or source. Our Cognitive Processor XRâ„¢ accesses a vast amount of data, intelligently recreating lost textures and detail for real world pictures.

Intelligent motion processing for fast-moving, blur-free scenes


Watching sports and fast-moving movies just got a whole lot better. Our Cognitive Processor XRâ„¢ with XR Motion Clarityâ„¢ analyzes motion across several frames to ensure action stays smooth, bright and clear

Beautiful pictures across the screen

The X-Wide Angleâ„¢ panel keeps pictures beautiful from any angle so even people watching at the sides get as satisfying an experience as those from the centre. And with X-Anti Reflection, pictures are much clearer with less glare.

Powerful sound from the screen, matches pictures precisely


Our Acoustic Multi-Audioâ„¢ technology includes four frame tweeters to ensure high frequency sounds come from the right place in the scene, precisely matching what's on screen. With front facing subwoofers, you'll enjoy powerful bass too, wherever you place your TV.

All your entertainment upscaled to 3D surround sound


With BRAVIA XR™, everything you watch gets the true surround sound treatment. XR Surround virtually creates surround sound from the sides and vertically using just the TV speakers, so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers. Our BRAVIA XR™ TVs are also compatible with Dolby Atmos®.

Voice Zoomâ„¢ 2 enhances voices for clearer dialogue


Hear TV dialogue more clearly without turning up the volume. Even if speech is difficult to hear, Voice Zoom 2 detects the type of voice, analyzes it and enhances its clarity.

Ready for 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer

Every picture, optimized to your position in the room


Detecting the distance between you and your TV, BRAVIA CAM adjusts TV brightness so you’ll always enjoy perfect picture quality, no matter where you are in the room. A light and color sensor in the TV optimizes pictures to light conditions for the best possible viewing experience

The ideal sound experience from anywhere

BRAVIA CAM follows you and your position, even if you are watching from the sides, then adjusts left and right sound balance for optimum acoustics. Wherever you are in the room, you'll enjoy the same sound quality as if you're sitting right in front of the TV

Hear voices clearly, no matter where you are


By detecting your viewing distance, BRAVIA CAM is able to adjust voice zoom automatically so you can hear dialog clearly. The volume of TV dialog increases when you move away from the TV and decreases when you get closer

Proximity Alert

Proximity Alert allows you to set a proper viewing distance for your child and alerts you if they get too close to the TV
