Feel real life depth with ultimate blacks and our brightest ever OLED picture

Our Cognitive Processor XR cross-analyzes data, enhancing pictures in the same way that the human eye focuses for real life color and depth. With XR OLED Contrast Pro, brightness is adjusted for higher peaks in glare and deeper blacks in shadow—no more details overwhelmed by shadow or lost in blown-out highlights.

With extended hue and saturation, vivid shades, and realistic texture can be seen in the flowers. Even pale colors look realistic.

The screen is the speaker, sound perfectly matches action

For an audio experience that matches how we sense the world, XR Sound Position brings you the reality of sound behind the picture. As the screen is the speaker on this BRAVIA XR 4K OLED TV, sound matches precisely with what's on the screen for a truly immersive experience.

All your entertainment upscaled to 3D surround sound

With BRAVIA XR, everything you watch gets the true surround-sound treatment. XR Surround creates surround sound from the sides and vertically so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers.
