Features

Four times clearer than HD

That’s right—four times clearer than Full HD 1080p1. Get acquainted with the highest resolution picture Sony has ever produced on a TV. With four times more resolution than Full HD, the 4K Ultra HD screen contains over 8 million individual pixels (3,840 x 2,160). Advanced picture processing ensures that every one of those pixels displays images with superb brightness and authentic detail.

HD enhanced to 4K Ultra HD quality

Suddenly, everything looks better. All of your existing HD sports, TV shows and movies are up-scaled to super clear 4K quality. The new 4K X-Reality™ PRO chip enhances HD (or lower resolution) images by analyzing and rening images with beautifully natural detail and astounding color. The latest Reality Creation database and Super Resolution processing breathes new life into everything you see with phenomenal 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution2.

See colors never seen on a TV before

Spoil yourself with the widest color spectrum we’ve ever oered on a television. Unique to Sony, TRILUMINOS Display technology creates incredibly true, natural shades of colors—just the way you want them. Hard-to-reproduce reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid. Faces look better, too, with natural skin tones. It’s all thanks to a new TRILUMINOS display that gives images a heightened sense of depth.

4K Ultra HD now and in the future.

Sony 4K Ultra HD TV owners are the rst in the world to be able to enjoy hit Hollywood movies in 4K Ultra HD, using the Sony 4K Ultra HD Media Player (sold separately). Sony 4K TVs are also ready to support the next 4K video formats, such as 60p 4K sports video, that will become possible using the new HDMI® 2.0 specication. A convenient and free Internet rmware update will be available late 2013.12

Movies in 4K Ultra HD

Introducing the world’s rst in-home media player to bring you 4K Hollywood hit movies (sold separately). Four times clearer than HD, Sony’s Video Unlimited 4K service allows you to rent or purchase feature lms, TV shows, documentaries and more8. The 4K Ultra HD Media Player comes preloaded with 10 bonus feature lms plus a collection of other free video shorts.

The dierence is dynamic.

It's all about perfecting a natural look. Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with local dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright scenes. Rather than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right areas for a more realistic picture.

Lifelike motion.

Watch the sprinter break o the blocks and race smoothly as the camera follows him from le to right. Even quick motion seen in action movies appears amazingly realistic as Motionow™ XR 960 technology, which takes motion clarity beyond refresh rates, smoothes out the picture where the camera can't for clearer and more natural movement.

Your smartphone, now on TV

Movies, music and apps from your smartphone can now be viewed big on your TV. With three ways to connect AndroidTM phones and tablets to the X850, Sony is helping you add value to the entertainment you already own.

1. Using a Mobile High Denition Link cable, you can connect your smartphone to the TV to literally “mirror” what’s seen on the smartphone screen. Video, photos and apps are re-sized and scaled to t the larger TV screen. You can then use the TV remote to navigate the phone, while it’s charging from the TV10.

2. Using screen mirroring technology, you can connect phones that are Miracast™ enabled to the TV11.

3. Using One-Touch Mirroring with NFC technology, briey place your compatible Xperia™ smartphone to the one-touch remote. You’ll instantly be able to view exactly what is on your smartphone’s screen on the TV.

Go way beyond cable with built-in Wi-Fi

Wirelessly stream beautiful, HD entertainment straight from the internet or your home network using built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity and open the door to the endless entertainment of the Sony Entertainment Network, where thousands of movies, TV shows, online videos, games and music are always at your ngertips. By connecting to the Internet you can access Full HD 1080p entertainment, 3D content and made-for-TV apps like Netix®, Pandora®, YouTube™, Facebook® and

more.

Custom control installations.

RS-232C and IR-in for custom control installations.

3D immersion

There’s 3D, then there’s 3D with 4K (3,840 x 2,160). Life-like 3D images emerge from the 4K screen screen with realism that makes your heart race. The level of detail is absolutely stunning—it’s the closest thing to a 3D theater in your living room. Just slide on the comfortable 3D active glasses and enter a whole new dimension.5 Four pairs included.

Twice the fun: 2-player games with no split screen

Say goodbye to split screen. Now you and a friend can both experience your own big-screen view of the action as you play nail-biting games on your PlayStation®3 system. SimulView™ gaming presents two separate full screen pictures: each player watches independently through Simulview™ mode on the included 3D active glasses.6 There’s already a growing choice of SimulViewTM game titles available.
