The 4K and 8K experience

Moviegoers have long known that a bigger screen makes for a more thrilling experience. But in a home theater, increasing screen size quickly reveals the imperfections of High Definition (1920 x 1080) resolution.

With stunning 4K UHD and 8K UHD resolutions, detail is strikingly sharper, even on screens up to 200 inches. The difference is something you can literally feel, giving you a more lifelike, compelling, engaging movie experience.

The Technology of 4K

The greater resolution offered by 4K enables more detailed, more realistic, more engaging images. With greater than four times the resolution of Full HD, the gaps between pixels (called the screen door effect) and visible pixels (called jaggies) are dramatically reduced. The result is the most immersive, hyper-real, breathtaking experience possible.

The technology of 8K

Sony 8K TVs are designed to faithfully reproduce the image quality of our professional mastering monitors. 8K resolution allows for a higher density PPI (pixels per inch) to achieve greater detail and more precise color and shadow gradation. Coupled with precision Full Array LED and extreme peak brightness, Sony 8K TVs are designed to give you the ultimate movie theater picture quality experience, just as the creator intended.

Our powerful Cognitive Processor XR was engineered with 8K resolution in mind. It’s designed to produce exceptional peak brightness and deep, detailed blacks.
