For 2014, Sony is extending its 4K Ultra HD TV line-up with three new series and a total of nine models in a variety of sizes ranging from 49 to 85-inch class screens. The latest models incorporate a combination of Sony unique technologies to provide an overall quality that goes beyond standard 4K resolution. Sony’s 4K X Reality PRO picture engine can upscale a variety of content regardless of source to beautiful 4K resolution, while wide color gamut TRILUMINOS Display works in unison to reproduce lifelike color and accurate shading to ensure the highest quality picture.
New for 2014, Sony’s X-tended Dynamic Range technology claims to deliver unprecedented brightness and deeper detail even in the whitest whites or darkest blacks on the screen for truly brilliant picture quality. The new innovative structural design, with its iconic Wedge shape, increases capacity to incorporate larger speakers, which provide a deeper, more powerful sound, unprecedented for a flat-screen TV. In addition, each new 4K Ultra HD TV series incorporates Sony’s ClearAudio+ digital signal processing for improved high-quality audio. ClearAudio+ combines a variety of Sony technologies to create an immersive experience with clear vocals and a wide range of sound. An optional wireless subwoofer (model SWF-BR100) is available to create a richer audio experience, delivering powerful bass from the TV for a simple and stylish home theater experience.
The flagship XBR-X950B series (pictured top) comes in 85- and 65-inch class screen sizes and brings LED technology to the next level. Incorporating Sony’s new X-tended Dynamic Range PRO technology driven by direct LED arrays arranged in the backside of the panel, this model achieves a much wider dynamic range of brightness, with higher peaks and deeper blacks, using a unique backlighting algorithm to further enhance picture quality.
The XBR-X900B series comes in 79-, 65- and 55-inch class screen sizes and implements X-tended Dynamic Range technology driven by Edge LED arrays arranged along the side of the panel, as well as an innovative structural design with a new, iconic Wedge form factor.
In order to bring Sony’s leading 4K Ultra HD experience to a broader base of consumers, Sony is also launching an entry-level 4K Ultra HD TV, the XBR-X850B series, which will be available in 49-, 55- and 65- and 70-inch class screen sizes.
All new 4K LED TVs support the HDMI 2.0 standard, which gives them the ability to display 4K/60p content, a quickly developing standard which is ideal for fast moving content such as sports. These TVs are also compatible with MHL 3.0 which supports 4K output from smartphones and tablets. In addition to this these features, the new TVs incorporate a decoder which supports the latest HEVC codec decoding and can playback 4K/60p content and Internet streaming services.
