Why you will love it
Mini LED with XR Backlight Master Drive
Sony says XR Backlight Master Drive uses a local dimming algorithm that controls thousands of LEDs for contrast, and that it is similar to the backlight control core technology in its master monitors.
Sony also says the new Mini LED backlight uses blue and green LEDs to expand colour gamut, and that with XR Triluminos Pro it reproduces over a billion shades.
Clearer pictures and motion
XR Clear Image upscales content to near 4K and adjusts processing to the quality of the original, according to Sony. Results vary with the source.
XR Motion Clarity analyses movement across several frames and synchronises the backlight with on-screen motion. The XR Processor uses AI scene recognition to tune the picture.
Cinema at home
Sony lists HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision, along with an IMAX Enhanced picture mode and Calman auto calibration support.
Side-mounted speakers with X-Balanced design
Acoustic Multi-Audio uses two side-mounted speakers so sound appears to come from the screen, says Sony. The speaker line-up is two full range bass reflex speakers and two tweeters, with 10W + 10W + 10W + 10W of audio power.
Sony says the X-Balanced Speaker's uniquely shaped diaphragm reduces distortion. Voice Zoom 3 recognises dialogue with AI, and Sony lists Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support.
Gaming connections
Sony lists four HDMI inputs with the HDMI 2.1 features 4K120, eARC, VRR, ALLM and SBTM. Sony's footnotes say 100Hz and 120Hz input is supported on HDMI 3 and 4, and VRR is listed for HDMI 3 and 4. ALLM is listed on all four inputs.
PlayStation 5 features include Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode. Sony also lists FPS game and RTS game picture modes.
Underlay stand with two positions
The underlay stand is a thin, flat steel plate. Sony says it has two positions: a compact inside position for smaller shelves, or a soundbar-friendly setup.
Google TV
Google TV brings together shows and movies from across your apps and subscriptions. Sony also lists Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Apple HomeKit, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
