Sony introduces 2022 BRAVIA XR TV line-up, featuring XR Backlight Master Drive for Mini LED and XR Triluminos Max for new OLED

Sony Europe B.V. today announced the new BRAVIA XR television series, including MASTER Series Z9K 8K and X95K 4K Mini LED, MASTER Series A95K, MASTER Series A90K and A80K 4K OLED, and X90K 4K LED.

Powered by Cognitive Processor XR , the unique XR Backlight Master Drive precisely controls our latest generation Mini LED backlight in the Z9K and X95K series for incredible brightness. Enjoy an unprecedented dynamic range with incredibly dazzling lights and deep blacks, as well as beautifully natural mid tones with almost no flare or halos around highlights. The Cognitive Processor XR also powers our A95K's new OLED panel with XR Triluminos Max, which delivers our widest colour palette and reproduces naturally beautiful shades and hues. With millions of individual, self-illuminating pixels, the A95K delivers more colours than ever before for an entirely new viewing experience.

These new innovations help us deliver the best and most immersive viewing experiences, authentically delivering the creator's true intent. When watching movies, viewers can experience our enhanced Acoustic Surface Audio+ for OLED models and Acoustic Multi-Audio for LED models, precisely matching the position of the sound with the images on the screen for a truly immersive audiovisual experience. The line-up also includes new features that customise and enhance at-home entertainment. Together with Netflix, we've released Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode[1], which automatically adjusts image processing based on ambient light, so users' favourite shows and films look like the creator intended, under any conditions. Additionally, Sony's new BRAVIA CORE Calibrated Mode will automatically adjust the image quality on screen to better align with the video creator's original vision[2]. All 2022 BRAVIA XR televisions will also be designated Perfect for PlayStation 5'[3], which includes two PS5 exclusive features - Auto HDR Tone Mapping[4] and Auto Genre Picture Mode[5].
