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.

The Cognitive Processor XR enables our unique display to access a wider palette and reproduce each color with the subtle differences seen in the real world. With extended hue and saturation, vivid shades, and realistic texture can be seen in the flowers. Even pale colors look realistic.

Recreating lost texture, the intelligent way



Whatever the content or source, you'll enjoy entertainment close to 4K resolution with XR 4K Upscaling. 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 cross analyzes data to ensure action stays smooth, bright, and clear.

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. With a vibrating frame tweeter on this BRAVIA XR 8K TV, sound matches precisely with what’s on the screen for a truly immersive experience. Front-facing subwoofers provide powerful bass, no matter where 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 creates surround sound from the sides and vertically so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers.

Voice Zoom 2 enhances voices for clearer dialog



Hear TV dialog 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.

Perfect with Sony audio



Paired with Sony audio equipment, our latest BRAVIA TVs bring you an immersive audio-visual experience with the outstanding XR picture and sound quality.

Acoustic Center Sync



When you connect a BRAVIA XR TV to a Sony soundbar, both the soundbar and TV become the centre speaker in your home cinema system. This enables sound to precisely match what’s on the screen for a truly immersive experience.
