Perfection Redefined – Discover A Brand New 4K Experience
Sony introduces a new #Sony4KHDR (High Dynamic Range) and BRAVIA™ LCD TV line
(SINGAPORE, 3 March 2016) – Sony today introduces a new 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR) television series and a new BRAVIA™ LCD television series. Designed to deliver a greater brightness range and higher contrast, the new 4K HDR TV line makes the best use of 4K HDR content with its unique backlighting technologies in a slim design; while the latest LCD TV series incorporates Clear Phase audio technology for pure and natural audio.
HDR is a burgeoning video standard that greatly expands the range of possible visual expression by reproducing higher brightness, higher contrast and more vibrant colours. Sony’s new Slim Backlight Drive™ technology with a new grid-array backlighting structure, which was previously only available with full-array backlighting systems, further allows X-tended Dynamic Range™ PRO technology to boost peak brightness and black levels more precisely and enhance contrast levels, while maintaining a slim form factor. The 4K Processor X1™ and its precision colour mapping technology allows TRILUMINOS™ Display to reproduce a wider colour range with accurate colour details at any brightness level. The X1 also improves the streaming quality of 4K HDR images provided by Internet video services.
But the viewing experience goes beyond just the screen. When hung against a wall, the X93D series sits close to the wall and virtually disappears into it, leaving behind nothing but the picture itself. When the television is set on a TV rack or a cabinet, its clean cable management keeps wires out of view and looks equally elegant when viewed from behind.
Sony’s 4K HDR TV series also runs on Android TV™ with Sony’s exclusive user interface. From live TV broadcasting to Internet video services, the seamless user interface Content Bar includes enhanced content navigation along with voice search.
The 4K HDR TV series ranges in screen size from 55” class to 75” class.
On the other hand, the new BRAVIA™ televisions are designed with sleek lines and an elegant slim display to complement your home interior and its clean cable management keeps wires out of view when you watch the screen.
The W75D/ W65D/ W60D series incorporates Clear Phase audio technology which analyses and compensates for inaccuracies in its built-in loud speakers’ response, resulting in pure, natural audio with smooth, even reproduction of all frequencies.
It also connects to a wide range of Internet video services, such as YouTube and Netflix, wirelessly by using built-in Wi-Fi®. Photo Sharing Plus makes it possible for up to 10 users to share photos and music from their smartphone or tablet wirelessly on the big screen.
The BRAVIA™ LCD TV line comes with multiple screen size options from 32” class to 55” class.
