With the new Alexa app for Android TV, you can now talk to Alexa through Amazon Echo, and see visual responses on your TV for music and camera feeds. Control essential TV functions such as power up, channels, volume, launch video apps, and more, the easy way.11Object-based HDR remaster
With Object-based HDR remaster, the color in individual objects on screen is analyzed and the contrast adjusted, unlike most TVs where contrast is only adjusted along one black-to-white contrast curve. Because objects are remastered individually, this TV can reproduce greater depth, textures, and more realistic pictures.
Super Bit Mapping HDR
There are thousands of tones, shades and gradations of light in a sunset. Super Bit Mapping HDR reveals them. It creates smooth, natural 4K TV picture quality as you watch, without the "banding" that can occur on other TVs.
Dual database processing
One database is used to clean the picture, reducing on-screen noise. The other is used to upscale the resolution, improving clarity. These two powerful image improvement databases work together, dynamically improving pixels in real time. Each database has tens of thousands of references, amassed from our experience creating content for TV and movies over the years.
1. Noise reduction database
Compressed noise is identified by the database, which includes "before and after" data on what a picture should look like and removes the compressed picture noise.2. Upscaling database
The upscaling database also includes "before and after" data, which is used to upscale the signal and create a more realistic picture.Rediscover detail with 4K X-Reality™ PRO
With 4K X-Reality™ PRO, every image is upscaled closer to true 4K quality1, 2 for remarkable clarity. Images are sharpened and refined in real time, revealing extra detail in the books and architecture of the library.
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. It compares key visual factors on successive frames, then calculates the split second of missing action in the sequences. Some models also include black-frame insertion for a blur-free and truly cinematic look.Chromecast built-in: Plays nice with your other devices
BRAVIA™ is Chromecast built-in so you can easily cast your favorite entertainment like YouTube™ or Netflix from your personal device on to the stunning BRAVIA™ screen.7, 13 You can cast from Android™, iOS™, or your laptop.Model year | |
