The new models, first announced at this year’s CES 2015, range in size from 49 to 75 inches and include three new series. The new 4K Processor X1 was built to enhance clarity, colour and contrast while improving the streaming quality of images that 4K content providers supply. Combined with the advanced 4K X-Reality™ PRO upscaling algorithm technology, these televisions will analyze and upscale to 4K resolution, providing the best image quality, regardless of the image source.

Tsuda Yukinobu, Head, Home Entertainment Division, Sony, commented, “As the industry leader in 4K picture quality, Sony’s commitment to developing technologies to enhance the viewing experience is showcased with this line-up. Adoption of the Android operating system from Google provides customers with a seamless integrated experience with their mobile devices ensuring that consumers can now enjoy everything they are used to on their smartphones or tablets, from their television for a smarter viewing experience”.

With screens that provide a 3,840 x 2,160 4K resolution, these products also include TRILUMINOS™ Display to accurately reproduce shades of red, green and aqua blue. Colours come alive on the screen in the widest colour range ever, and dynamic colour correction ensures colours are as consistent and accurate as possible every single time. Further enhancing the picture quality, these televisions will also be equipped with the critically-acclaimed X-tended Dynamic Range™ contrast enhancement to provide peak brightness of LED as well as deeper blacks.
