Ultimate brightness and contrast with Mini LED



See 4K pictures full of remarkable contrast and brightness on this big screen TV with Mini LED backlight, powered by our Cognitive Processor XR and XR Backlight Master Drive.

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.

Scenes full of contrast and brightness, precisely controlled



Powered by Cognitive Processor XR, the unique XR Backlight Master Drive precisely controls our latest generation Mini LED backlight in this X95K 4K BRAVIA XR TV for brightness you can feel. You'll enjoy an unprecedented dynamic range with incredibly dazzling lights and deep blacks, as well as beautifully natural mid tones, with almost no flare or halos around highlights.

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 X95K uses Sony-developed SORPLAS 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.

See incredible depth with intense 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 XR, XR Triluminos Pro enables X95K 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 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.

Beautiful pictures across the screen



The X-Wide Angle 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-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. These sound positioning tweeters precisely manage sound positioning in high tone areas for enhanced realism, while left and right subwoofers deliver powerful bass 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 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).

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.
