    Product Features:

    • Exquisite Contrast, Perfect Blacks: Sony's OLED TV is like nothing you've ever seen before with truly exceptional black, shadow and color. Over 8 million self-illuminating pixels are precisely and individually controlled by the X1 Extreme processor creating exquisite, unprecedented contrast.
    • Pure Black, Perfect Vision: Our OLED pixels work individually and can be turned off completely to deliver absolute black. This level of supreme contrast reveals detail, depth, textures and colors for a view that is stunningly real.
    • Uncover the Detail with 4K HDR: High Dynamic Range (HDR) will change the way you look at TV. Combined with 4K Ultra HD resolution, HDR video content delivers exceptional detail, color and contrast, with a far wider range of brightness than other video formats. The result is the most lifelike picture TVs have ever been able to create, with brilliant highlights and fine detail.
    • Everything Should Look Like 4K HDR: Our newly developed 4K HDR Processor X1 Extreme outperforms our conventional 4K Processor X1 with 40 percent more real-time image processing power. It takes everything you watch and improves it to near 4K HDR quality. Object-based HDR Remaster technology can detect, analyze and optimize each object in the picture individually to adjust the overall contrast for a more natural and realistic picture on screen.
    • A Revolution in TV Sound: Innovative Acoustic Surface technology brings a unique, enhanced viewing experience. Unlike most TV speakers, sound comes to you from the entire screen, immersing you in exciting new entertainment experiences. It's pictures and sound in perfect harmony.
    • Vibrant Colors, Smooth Gradations: Only when surrounded by true black do colors seem really vibrant. Colors are as rich and vivid as nature's own thanks to the TRILUMINOS Display with more shades of red, green and blue than ever before. You'll enjoy rich, authentic images that evoke the emotion in every scene. And, 4K HDR Super Bit Mapping reveals thousands of shades and gradations of light, for sunsets as bright and clear as real life.
    • A Design of Sophistication: A design that's a work of art. The all-new one slate design is curated to look wherever the TV may rest. The enhanced design makes it easy to mount the TV even closer to the wall, and the redesigned vertical stand disappears when placed on TV stands or entertainment centers. The TV has no visible speakers, and unsightly wires are managed through stand, leaving nothing but elegance from all angles. It's beauty in simplicity of design.
    • A Genius TV, a Smarter Home: Find all the entertainment you can dream of, faster than ever. From movies and TV shows to thousands of apps, Sony's Android TV brings you everything in an instant. Cast your favorite apps with Google Cast, and Voice Search helps you find the entertainment you want. And with Google Home and Amazon Alexa compatibility, simply voice-control your TV and ask it to do things like cast and control videos from YouTube with Google Home or change the channel or volume with Amazon Alexa.
    • Upscale to a More Natural Picture: The difference is clear. You'll see lifelike detail and stunning clarity, no matter what you're watching. Two powerful image improvement databases work together, dynamically improving images in real time. 4K X-Reality PRO upscales images to near 4K clarity while a second database cleans the picture and reduce on-screen noise. Every single pixel is enhanced beautifully by the powerful 4K HDR Processor X1 Extreme.
    • Meet Your Google Assistant: Sony TVs equipped with Android TV now have Google Assistant built-in, making your life easier. Ask it questions, connect to smart home devices like Nest, or access many of the apps and services you already use every day. It's your own personal Google, always ready to help.
    • Motionflow Keeps the Action Smooth: TV that keeps up with real life. Sony's refresh rate technology enhances the OLED's unique panel speed to allow fast moving action sequences in sports and movies to be seen with lifelike clarity.
    • Great Picture From Any Angle: Thanks to the OLED display's unique panel characteristics, picture looks great from anywhere you're watching. Content looks amazing whether you're directly in front of the TV, or off to one side or the other.
    • Live TV, No Annual Contract: PlayStation Vue is now available on Android TV. Enjoy live TV streaming with no annual contract and no surprise fees. Experience premium content, including sports, news and more, from your favorite networks.
    • Your Favorite Apps, on Your TV: Enjoy a huge range of apps from Google Play, including YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu, Pandora and more. Also, play your favorite Android games on the big screen.

    This tv has the best picture and sound. I understand it's basically a computer run tv. The picture is like your phone. The black is so black the all the colors pop. Well worth the cost and in the two years since the tv has been out the technology has not made me regret my purchase. If anything, I want a bigger one.

    Our A/V consultant purchased and installed this with our home entertainment system 2 1/2 years ago - now we have discovered it is one of the few very expensive devices that isn't compatible with Apple TV+, which is disappointing and ridiculous. Should have gone with the LG. Or maybe a different consultant

    After 1 month this TV has impressed. Video quality is excellent, deep blacks. Through the home theatre system sounds excellent, but even without the sound emanating from the screen of the TV is fantastic. Great network tools making it easy to connect to devices such as iphones and home theatre.

    We bought the tv on the shopping choice Chanel. It was delivered almost on time, out by a few days. The only thing I have concerned myself with is that it didn't come with a proper manual. We had a Sony TV for 1998 and it is still running, although my son and husband seem to think the colours were fading. Hahah. Never once had it serviced, knock on wood..... I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED A DIFFERENT STAND, MY SON SAID HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT A BIT HIGHER SO A SOUND BAR COULD FIT UNDER THE TV AND NOT BLOCK THE SCREEN.

    Picked up this TV a few weeks ago and love it. Been looking at it since it came out but really never wanted to spend the dough on it. Glad I did. I replace my 8 year old Panasonic Plasma (sweet tv and had a hard time replacing it) with this and have no regrets. The picture is incredible. I love being able to hook up all my 4K players to it. (Apple 4K TV, PS4 Pro, Sony 4K blueray). The picture quality is amazing.
