Real-life picture with enhanced contrast



Enjoy your entertainment like never before on this ultra bright 4K HDR TV, delivering exceptional color and contrast with our Full Array LED, powered by Cognitive Processor XR.

Next generation picture and sound with Cognitive Intelligence



Take vision and sound to the next level with Cognitive Processor XR. Our revolutionary processor on Sony BRAVIA XR TVs reproduces content the way humans see and hear for an incredibly lifelike experience. It understands how the human eye focuses, cross analyzing images to give real life depth, extraordinary contrast and beautifully vivid colors.

Full Array contrast with lifelike depth



Our Full Array LED, powered by Cognitive Processor XR, controls the backlight in zones to reproduce realistic contrast in bright and dark areas simultaneously. The intelligent processor sees the world as you do, enhancing pictures with real life color and depth.

Sound from the screen, pictures and sound in harmony



Enjoy sound that precisely matches what's on screen with Acoustic Multi-Audio technology. Sound positioning tweeters ensure pictures and sound are in harmony for an immersive viewing experience.

Hands-free help from Google



With hands-free voice control built into Google TV, you can set aside your remote and simply use your voice to control your TV. Ask Google to find a specific title, search by genre, and get personalized recommendations on what to watch by saying, "Hey Google, what should I watch?". Even get answers on screen, control smart home devices, and more.

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 X90K uses recycled plastics in its bezel. Our unique backlight control technologies, BRAVIA CAM and sensors not only deliver high picture quality but also reduce power consumption.

A wide color spectrum for real-world shades and hues



Powered by Cognitive Processor XR, our Full Array LED panel with unique new LED structure and XR Triluminos Pro enables X90K to access over a billion colors and reproduce each one with the subtle differences seen in the real world. It can detect color from saturation, hue and brightness to deliver natural shades in every detail, especially in greens and reds.

Enjoy more depth with deep blacks and extra brightness



Our Cognitive Processor XR enhances pictures in the same way as your eyes focus for real life color and depth. By precisely balancing light output across the screen, dimming some areas and boosting others, XR Contrast Booster adjusts brightness for higher peaks in glare and deeper blacks in shadow. Scenes look more real with extra depth and detail.

Recreating lost texture, all your content upscaled to 4K



With XR 4K Upscaling, you'll enjoy entertainment close to 4K quality, whatever the content or source. Our Cognitive Processor XR 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 XR with XR Motion Clarity analyzes motion across several frames to ensure action stays smooth, bright and clear.

Powerful sound from the screen, matches pictures precisely



Our Acoustic Multi-Audio technology includes sound positioning tweeters to ensure high frequency sounds come from the right place in the scene, precisely matching what's on screen. With X-Balanced speakers, you'll hear clear, high quality sound.

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 Zoom 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



Tailor your Dolby Atmos experience by combining our SRS-NS7 wearable speaker with BRAVIA XR TVs for spatial surround sound. With selected Sony headphones, you can also enjoy the simulated surround of 360 Spatial Sound using Wireless Transmitter WLA-NS7 (sold separately).25

Supreme picture and sound, whatever the environment



Sit back and enjoy an enthralling viewing experience. Our unique ambient optimization technology with light sensor automatically adjusts picture and sound to your environment.

Step up to even better viewing, optimized with BRAVIA CAM



Connect your BRAVIA XR TV with BRAVIA CAM, sold separately, for an even more immersive viewing experience. BRAVIA CAM recognizes where you are in the room and how far you are from the TV, then adjusts sound and picture settings so they're just right. Audio is clearer with picture brightness tailored to your viewing environment.

Discover new ways to enjoy TV with BRAVIA CAM



You're always in the best seat in the house with BRAVIA CAM. It recognizes where you're sitting and optimizes the picture and sound accordingly. There's also video chat, gesture controls, and other new experiences waiting to be explored.

Beautiful minimalist design that maximizes entertainment
