Precise detail improvement
The 4K Processor X1 improves detail using new algorithms, such as Noise Crusher. This new technology breaks noise down to small spots with low intensity, which preserves natural looking image texture with scattered and almost invisible noise.
Accurate colour mapping
With the 4K Processor X1, accurate colour mapping exceeds common colour enhancement and actually optimises individual colours in real time. This creates optimal colour balance, resulting in a beautifully rich and natural image. TRILUMINOS selectively maps colours across the wide gamut available to the screen, rather than simply expanding the colour range, subtle colours do not become oversaturated and unnatural.
Dynamic contrast enhancement
The 4K Processor X1 dynamically controls the brightness depending on the noise and optimises the contrast depending on the bandwidth to achieve deep blacks and bright and vivid colours.
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. Modes also include black-frame insertion for a blur-free and truly cinematic look.
Slim design for easier wall mounting
The slimline styling blends effortlessly into a living room, enabling easier mounting on a wall. Because the screen has minimal bezels, you can focus on your entertainment with near edge-to-edge pictures. It’s an ideal blend of form and function for an immersive entertainment experience..

| Manufacturer information |
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio. In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
