Video Features

QD-OLED TV: The Sony QD-OLED TV combines OLED (organic light emitting diode) self-illuminating technology with Quantum Dot color technology for a picture with incredible blacks, infinite contrast, high brightness, and vivid color - giving you an intense cinematic image on screen with natural color, incredible detail, and realistic depth. Each OLED pixel is divided into three subpixels: a blue subpixel consisting of the original blue OLED material, a red subpixel with red-tuned quantum dots, and a green subpixel generated by a green-tuned quantum dot; these are then combined to create true white light. With over 8 million specially engineered self-illuminating pixels contrast is virtually limitless.

• OLED Technology: This TV screen has millions of self-illuminating OLED pixels that can be individually activated to reproduce truly lifelike pictures. With over 8 million self-illuminating, individually controlled OLED pixels, you'll see real black, incredible contrast, and lifelike color. These OLED pixels work individually and can be turned off completely to deliver absolute black. Each pixel can go from off to bright in a fraction of a second. Because each pixel lights up independently, you'll see more accurate detail, color, and shades in every scene. This level of supreme contrast reveals detail, depth, textures, and colors for a view that's stunningly real. See video images that are bright and clear from any angle. Even in fast-moving scenes there's no blur; you'll see everything in perfect clarity.
• Quantum Dot (QD): Quantum Dots are nano-sized, cadmium-free, finely tuned particles that turn light into the brilliant billion plus colors you can experience and enjoy on Sony's QD-OLED TV. Quantum dots are inorganic particles that resist wear out, so you can enjoy superb picture quality for years. As some TVs age, you may see that colors are less vibrant. QD-OLED TVs are built to last and provide a vibrant picture even after long periods of time. Quantum Dot (QD) delivers richer, brighter, and more accurate color reproduction for a realistic image that is "true-to-life".
• Temperature Sensing: With a temperature sensor, high luminance panel and heat diffusion sheet for dissipating heat, the Sony QD-OLED TV detects screen temperature and precisely controls light to deliver 200% as much brightness as its predecessor. The temperature sensor and heat diffusion sheet incorporated in the QD-OLED panel also keep heat distribution across the screen uniform to constantly monitor the panel for areas of localized heat distribution to protect the screen against long-term image retention

Cognitive Processor XR: Powered by the Cognitive Processor XR, the Sony QD-OLED TV use a completely new processing method designed to replicate the ways humans see. When we see objects, we unconsciously focus on certain points. Cognitive Processor XR, powered by cognitive intelligence, divides the screen into numerous zones and detects where the "focal point" is in the picture. While conventional Artificial Intelligence (AI) can only detect and analyze picture elements like color, contrast and detail individually; the new processor can cross-analyze an array of elements at once, just as our brains do. By doing so, each element is adjusted to its best final outcome, in conjunction with each other, so everything is synchronized and lifelike. It learns, analyzes and understands unprecedented amounts of data and intelligently optimizes every pixel, frame and scene for the most lifelike picture Sony has ever delivered.

• Closer-To-Reality: The built-in Cognitive Processor XR works the same way as our brain and eyes do, detecting the main focal point in a scene and enhancing each detail in an object so it stands out with a natural sense of depth, just as in the real world. Conventional AI can only detect and analyze elements like color, contrast and detail individually. To create this closer-to-reality feeling, Cognitive Processor XR divides the screen into hundreds of zones and recognizes individual objects in these zones better than ever before.
• Cross-Analyzation: What's more, the Sony QD-OLED TV can cross-analyze around a few hundred thousand different elements that make up a picture in a second, the same way that our brains work. Unlike a conventional TV where all picture elements are adjusted to the same level, QD-OLED TVs with cross-analyzation adjust each element to its best final outcome, in conjunction with each other, so everything is in harmony and feels totally natural.

Sony XR Technologies: This QD-OLED TV utilizes advanced proprietary Sony XR technologies, along with Sony's Cognitive Processor XR to precisely control light and deliver an amazing dynamic contrast ratio with up to 200% as much color brightness as conventional OLED TVs.

• XR Triluminos Max: The new QD-OLED TV enables Sony's widest palette of colors thanks to proprietary XR Triluminos Max technology. You'll witness color in a way that is more natural and beautiful to the human eye. The wider palette of colors deliver an enhanced range of hue and saturation, allowing natural shades and precise details to be seen, even in dark scenes. XR Triluminos Max enables the Sony QD-OLED TV to reproduce each color with the subtle differences seen in the real world- for realistic shades and textures.
• XR OLED Contrast Pro: Pairing Sony's QD-OLED panel with Sony's proprietary XR OLED Contrast Pro technology, the TV boosts color and contrast in bright areas so you can enjoy unprecedented pure blacks and peak brightness. With a temperature sensor and high luminance panel, the Sony QD-OLED TV can even detect screen temperature and precisely control light so pixels in bright areas are illuminated simultaneously. As a result, the boosted color and contrast in bright areas provide an exceptionally realistic picture that is defined by absolute pure blacks and peak brightness, so you won't miss a single detail in dazzling light or deep shadow.
• XR Clear Image: XR Clear Image uses noise reduction technology to reduce noise in the video signal, making broadcast and online videos much clearer and easier to view. By removing noise from the video signal blur is also minimized so action stays smooth on the screen.
• XR Motion Clarity: Sony's latest XR Motion Clarity technology cross-analyzes data to ensure action stays smooth, bright and clear with no blur. On some screens, sports and fast action scenes can seem to go by in a blur. XR Motion Clarity technology keeps everything smooth, bright and clear. Each "blink" is individually controlled and its duration optimized, while brightness is boosted when needed, so you won't miss a thing. XR Motion Clarity keeps fast action smooth and clear. Moving images are precisely controlled to minimize blur. Even during high speed scenes, pictures stay true with no loss in brightness.

Anti-Glare & Wide-Angle Viewing: Sony's next generation self-illuminating QD-OLED panel keeps consistent brightness and color even when viewing off to the side, so you get a great picture from almost any viewing angle. Glare and reflection makes it hard to see images clearly, especially in dark scenes where depth and detail are often hidden. With extremely low reflectivity of light, the QD-OLED panel reduces this effect for incredible brightness, color and contrast in almost any lighting conditions.

Ultra 4K Resolution: For the ultimate in picture quality, this TV pairs the brilliance of 4K clarity with the brightness, color, and detail of High Dynamic Range (HDR). With 4K UHD, you'll see more on TV than ever before with over 8 million individual pixels (3,840 x 2,160) compared to about 2 million (1,920 x 1,080) on a1080p HDTV. Its detail is so vivid and crisp, even when viewed from close distances; it's nearly impossible to discern a single pixel, even from inches away. Combined with 4K Ultra HD resolution, HDR video content delivers exceptional detail, color and contrast, with a far wider range of brightness than other video formats. The result is the most lifelike picture TVs have ever been able to create, with brilliant highlights and fine detail.

• XR 4K Upscaling: XR 4K Upscaling technology upscales 2K signals close to true 4K quality for incredibly real and detailed pictures. Whatever the content or source, you'll enjoy entertainment close to 4K resolution with XR 4K Upscaling. The Sony QD-OLED TV's Cognitive Processor XR accesses a vast amount of data, intelligently recreating lost textures and detail for real-world pictures. See details such as naturally defined animal fur and sharply outlined rock.
• XR Super Resolution: XR Super Resolution detects individual objects in a picture and reproduces virtually real-world textures on screen. The Sony QD-OLED TV's processor precisely analyzes and processes data to power 4K pictures with 4x the resolution of Full HD to enrich scenes with real-world detail and texture.
• XR 4K Smoothing: XR Smoothing creates smooth, natural 4K pictures as you watch, without the "banding" that can occur on other TVs. Scenes are reproduced with thousands of tones, shades, and gradations, making them look incredibly real.

HDR (High Dynamic Range): High Dynamic Range (HDR) enhances the dynamic range of a picture, increasing the contrast between the brightest whites and darkest blacks. Every pixel is made more accurate, regardless of resolution, bringing scenes to life with greater detail. HDR's greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels brings greater contrast & wider color spectrum to the screen. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. Previously hidden areas of dark shadow and sunlight are now full of clarity and detail. Movies and TV shows in HDR are closer to the original recording and the director's vision with more brightness, contrast and color, for a truly lifelike viewing experience.

• XR HDR Remaster: With XR HDR Remaster, the Sony QD-OLED TV can detect each object on screen, analyze its color and adjust contrast for even more realistic pictures. Object-based processing, powered by BRAVIA XR, takes precision to a whole new level by adding adjustment of hue, saturation, brightness, motion vector, bandwidth, and more. The result is exceptionally real scenes with greater depth, lifelike textures, and natural colors.
• Supported HDR Formats: HDR 10 is an open standard and currently the most popular HDR format on the market. It supports 10-bit color and 1,000 nits. It uses static metadata at the start of a movie to tell the receiver and your TV that the video content is encoded using HDR. HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma) is primarily designed for live video feed and over-the-air broadcasts. It uses no pre-encoded metadata and is backwards compatible with SDR. HLG's native compatibility allows much of today's existing SDR infrastructure to be re-used for HDR in the future. Unlike HDR 10 which contains static metadata and HLG which uses not metadata, Dolby Vision adjusts brightness, color, and contrast automatically for each scene. Dynamic metadata carries information that maps every image to your TV's display capabilities, so you see more of what the content creator intended.

HDMI 2.1/2.0: The Ultra-HD TV is outfitted with two HDMI 2.1 inputs (3-4) and two HDMI 2.0 inputs (1-2) to connect your Ultra-HD, HDR and HD sources; such as Ultra Blu-ray, Blu-ray, Satellite/Cable and PlayStation. In addition, any HDMI input can be used to connect a PC to this TV. This TV does not offer any analog video inputs.
