BRAVIA 8 II
The Slim One Slate concept design of the BRAVIA 8 II fuses the screen and the bezel into a single slate, with the rear of the aluminium stand vanishing from view when seen from an angle, so you can focus on the beautiful and brilliant images. Sony's proprietary XR Processor and the latest generation QD-OLED panel work in tandem to render the creator's vision with unparalleled fidelity. XR Triluminos Max™ enhances the display of more natural colours while preserving vivid brilliance, ensuring that each of the billions of colours appears just right. Additionally, the XR Processor optimises the high colour purity and wide colour gamut of the QD-OLED panel. The XR Processor features an AI scene recognition system that detects and analyses data with flawless accuracy, then optimises the picture for ultimate realism. With a high luminance panel and a temperature sensor, this TV with XR Contrast Booster precisely controls light for sublime pictures full of depth and detail. In the sound department, Acoustic Surface Audio +™ turns every part of the screen into a powerful speaker that emits sound from the right place in the scene to create a cinema-like experience of being enveloped in audio. BRAVIA 8 II delivers perfect blacks and superior contrast with OLED technology for stunning visuals for an authentic cinematic experience at home.
BRAVIA 5
BRAVIA 5 carries over many of the state-of-the-art technologies and features of the last year's most advanced models into a more affordable, yet compelling audiovisual package. The LEDs are intelligently controlled by XR Backlight Master Drive , which shares its core technology with Sony's professional monitors, with precise local dimming for stunning contrast, beautifully capturing light and shadow with detailed gradation, from subtle facial shading to bold highlights.
