Immerse yourself in 4K movies and dramas from a huge choice of 4K content today.

The difference is clear with supremely lifelike detail, whatever you're watching..

TRILUMINOS™ display powered by 4K Processor X1™: BRAVIA brings you even more lifelike colour – now refined further by the powerful 4K processor X1™. Because TRILUMINOS selectively maps colours across the wide gamut available to the screen, rather than simply expanding the colour range, subtle colours do not become oversaturated and unnatural. You’ll enjoy vivid, authentic images that evoke the emotion in every scene..

Motionflow™ XR keeps the action smooth: Enjoy smooth and sharp details even in fast-moving sequences with Motionflow™ XR. This innovative technology creates and inserts extra frames between the original ones.

DSEE restores detail to your digital music: Low-resolution Internet video, catch-up TV and other heavily compressed audio files don’t always sound so great. A large amount of information gets thrown away when digital audio is compressed. With Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) technology, lost frequency components (especially high frequencies) are restored for natural sound with a more spacious feel..

Cinematic S-Force Front Surround: Enjoy an immersive soundstage that pulls you into the heart of the action. S-Force Front Surround mimics the way the brain correlates sound sources to create proper volume, time lag, and sound wave spectrum – using only left and right speaker channels. By naturally emulating three-dimensional sound fields, you’ll enjoy rich, high-fidelity audio across a wider listening area..

Clear Phase for smooth, balanced frequencies: BRAVIA uses a powerful computer model to analyse and compensate for inaccuracies in speaker response. It does this by ‘sampling’ the speaker frequency with higher precision. This information is fed back to cancel out any peaks or dips in the speaker’s natural response – resulting in pure, natural audio with smooth, even reproduction of all frequencies..

Touch, see and share with NFC™: Just touch your NFC-enabled Xperia smartphone or tablet against the TV remote and wirelessly mirror your Xperia mobile on the beautiful BRAVIA screen.
