Welcome to four times the clarity of regular HD. See more on TV than ever before with over 8 million pixels
compared to about 2 million on HDTV.1
All of the TV programs and movies you already watch are enhanced by the 4K X-Reality™ PRO Picture Engine
for 4K Ultra HD viewing6 .
This picture engine takes everything you watch—HD movies, sports, even YouTube™ clips and home
movies—and optimizes it with unprecedented detail and astonishing color.
Unique to Sony, the TRILUMINOS Display has a wider range of color than conventional LCD displays, allowing you
to see colors never before seen on TVs. Hard-to-reproduce reds, emerald greens and aqua blues are displayed
beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid, richer and intense. Faces look better, too, with natural
skin tones.
Fine details and textures appear in whatever you’re watching.
Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with local dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright
scenes to perfect a natural look. Rather than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right
areas for a more realistic picture.
Powerful yet thin LEDs deliver a radically brighter picture than conventional LCD backlighting.
Sports can be seen as clear as they would appear from the sidelines. Motionflow™ XR takes motion clarity
beyond refresh rates (measured in Hz) to double or quadruple the motion effect. The result is a clear picture
during slow panning motions or the fastest action.
Control the TV or browse the channel guide with your smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS), all without
interfering with what you're watching on the TV. Learn more about the show you’re watching right now and
search what’s available to watch on TV, the internet and apps like Netflix.®

Your TV’s loudspeakers have evolved. Unique to Sony, Magnetic Fluid Speaker technology allows a thinner, more
efficient loudspeaker that produces a faithful reproduction of high-fidelity sound with 65 watts of total power.

As TVs get smaller, the challenge of producing robust sound increases. Sony Bass Reflex and Long Duct speaker
cabinets are capable of delivering extended low bass frequencies and clear, sparkling high frequencies for
full-range sound. The longer the speaker cabinet, the fuller and richer the sound can be.
Inspired by the sharp edges and color found in quartz crystals, the Quartz -cut design brings a new edge to
TV with a hint of translucent color that emphasizes the hidden gem within. Brilliant color, sharp detail and an
overall sense of beauty can be found in the thin border that traces the edge of the T V screen.
