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 visionii . All 2022 BRAVIA XR televisions will be designated ‘Perfect for PlayStation®5’ iii , which includes two PS5® exclusive features – Auto HDR Tone Mappingiv and Auto Genre Picture Modev.

This year, Sony also introduces a newly developed original camera device, BRAVIA CAMvi , which recognizes where users are sitting and optimizes the picture and sound accordingly. It includes gesture controls, video chat, and many other fun new experiences waiting to be explored.

With growing demand for even larger TV screens, there is also the risk of greater resource and energy use. However, Sony is committed to sustainability from the development process all the way through to the viewing experience. Sony’s “Road to Zero” global environmental plan aims to achieve a sustainable society by reaching a zero environmental footprint throughout the life cycle of its products and business activities by the year 2050. With these goals in mind, our 2022 TVs use high recycled plastic content with Sony-developed SORPLAS™. By using SORPLAS™vii , we’ve increased our use of recycled material without sacrificing design and durability and reduced overall virgin plastic use by up to 60%viii , which equates to approximately 140,000,000 compact discs. Additionally, Sony’s BRAVIA CAM can recognize when viewers are no longer in front of the TV and dim the display to conserve energy.

Cognitive Processor XR™: Take vision and sound to the next level with Cognitive Processor XR™. Our revolutionary processor on Sony BRAVIA XR™ TVs reproduces content the way humans see and hear for an incredibly lifelike experience. Images are cross analyzed and enhanced, especially around the focal point, to give real life depth, extraordinary contrast, and beautifully vivid colors.
XR Backlight Master Drive: Powered by Cognitive Processor XR™, the XR Backlight Master Drive uses a Sony-developed local dimming algorithm to control thousands of tiny, ultra-dense Mini LEDs with absolute precision and independence, delivering extraordinary brightness, impressive dynamic range, deep blacks, and beautifully natural colors.

360 Spatial Sound Personalizer: In combination with BRAVIA XR TVsix , this technology offers a perfectly optimized spatial sound experience for neckband speakers, like Sony’s SRS-NS7, as well as select Sony headphones – all with minimal configuration. Dedicated apps even personalize the cinematic sound field by analyzing users’ individual ear shape.
Elevate the Experience with Sony’s Sound Products: Sony’s new BRAVIA XR TVs are an excellent match for an array of Sony sound products, such as the HT-A9 Home Theater System or the HT-A7000 and HT-A5000 soundbars. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, a new frontier of spatial sound technology, is the latest addition to models HT-A700 and HT-A5000x. By calibrating sound to the chosen viewing room, the technology creates multiple optimally arranged phantom speakers for a wider and more immersive cinematic sound field. Using the Acoustic Center Syncxi feature, a BRAVIA XR TV plays the center channel role with the home theater system or soundbar as part of the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping setupxii , enabling sound to perfectly match what’s on the screen.
