Discover a new world of detail, whatever you're watching. Whether from internet video, DVD, Blu-ray, or even broadcast television, you'll see it in stunning 4K. Sony's decades of content creation experience allow the powerful processor to match minute scene elements against a special video database to rebuild lost detail with unrivalled accuracy.

A Sony Triluminos(tm) Display shows accurate, rich color that's especially evident in rich, lifelike reds, deep blues and emerald greens. A wider colour gamut delivers true-to-life images, not the oversaturated skin-tones and washed-out colours conventional LED displays suffer from. Triluminos is not just ideal for watching movies, you also get fabulous results viewing photos and home videos from compatible Sony cameras and camcorders.

By eliminating conventional speaker dampers and replacing them with magnetic fluid speaker technology, the size of the speaker is significantly reduced without affecting its accuracy and detail. This means you can fit great-sounding speakers in a smaller space--ideal for thin televisions and other compact, premium speakers.

Unique to Sony, ClearAudio+ automatically adjusts sound settings for an enriching listening experience. By bringing together expertise in digital signal processing technologies, ClearAudio+ is able to optimise audio formats to deliver a consistently clear, high-quality sound.
