Energy Guide

Sony 4K TVs
enhance everything.

Suddenly, everything looks better. Sony's unique 4K TVs upscale your favorite TV shows, DVDs and Blu-ray movies – even YouTube® clips and smartphone videos – for higher quality, stunning results. The new 4K X-Reality PRO chip enhances HD (and lower resolution) images by analyzing and refining images with beautifully natural detail and astounding color. The latest Reality Creation database and Super Resolution processing breathes new life into everything you see with phenomenal 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution2.

Why Sony 4K?

More brilliant color than ever before.

Spoil yourself with the widest color spectrum we've ever offered on a television. Unique to Sony, TRILUMINOS Display technology creates incredibly true, natural shades of colors – just the way you want them. Hard-to-reproduce reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid. Faces look better, too, with natural skin tones. It's all thanks to a new TRILUMINOS display that gives images a heightened sense of depth.

Well connected.

Stream beautiful video from favorite sites like Netflix®, YouTube® and HuluPlus with built-in Wi-Fi®5. And connect to even more movies, music and apps by wirelessly mirroring what's on your compatible Android smartphone12. Put simply, if it's on your phone, it can be on your TV.

Sound innovation.

These aren't the TV speakers you're used to. Unique to Sony TVs, Magnetic Fluid Speaker technology allows a thinner, more efficient loudspeaker that offers faithful reproduction of high-fidelity sound. The front-facing speaker system directs sound right at you with 65 watts of power3. S-Force® Front Surround 3D simulates 5.1 surround sound, with an enlarged sweet spot that everyone in the room can enjoy.

Movies in 4K Ultra HD.

Get the most out of your 4K Ultra HD TV with feature films in true 4K resolution only from Sony. The 4K Media Player (sold separately) comes preloaded with 10 feature films and video shorts. Coming soon – the Sony 4K network video service offering access to a library of 4K movies and TV show titles9.

The dynamic LED difference.

It's all about perfecting a natural look. Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with local dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright scenes that pop with vibrant color. Rather than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right areas for a more realistic picture.

Lifelike motion.

Watch the sprinter break off the blocks and race smoothly as the camera follows him from left to right. Even quick motion seen in action movies appears amazingly realistic as Motionflow XR 960 technology, which takes motion clarity beyond refresh rates, smoothing out the picture where the camera can't for clearer, more natural movement.

2 players. No split screen.

Say goodbye to split screen. Now you and a friend can both experience your own big-screen view of the action as you go head-to-head in games like Call of Duty®: Black Ops II. SimulView gaming presents 2 different full screen pictures at once, making it so each player sees only their unique point of view across the entire screen while wearing light, comfortable glasses that don't need batteries. There's already a growing collection of fun-filled PS®3 games with SimulView technology3.

Once you've seen the world in 4K Ultra High Definition1, there's no looking back. With a Sony 4K Ultra HD TV1, breathtaking natural details are depicted in richer, fuller color with even more stunning contrast. At four times the resolution of Full HD 1080p, the difference of 4K TV resolution is undeniable — and when accompanied by a powerful 65 watts of front-facing sound, it's quite simply the most immersive, highest resolution television experience possible.

Skype® video calls bring your family and friends closer than ever as they appear as large as life on your big screen— for free.5 Just connect the easyto- use Skype camera (sold separately) for a face-to-face look at the caller on the beauty of your Sony HDTV.

Your smartphone, now on TV

Movies, music and apps from your smartphone can now be viewed big on your TV. With three ways to connect Android phones and tablets to the X900, Sony is helping you add value to the entertainment you already own. 1. Using a Mobile High Definition Link cable, you can connect your smartphone to the TV to literally “mirror” what’s seen on the smartphone screen. Video, photos and apps are re-sized and scaled to fit the larger TV screen. You can then use the TV remote to navigate the phone, while it’s charging from the TV11. 2. Using screen mirroring technology, you can connect phones that are Miracast™ enabled to the TV12. 3. Using One-touch mirroring with NFC technology, briefly place your compatible Xperia™ smartphone to the onetouch remote. You’ll instantly be able to view exactly what is on your smartphone’s screen on the TV4.

3D immersion

There's 3D, then there's 3D with 4K (3,840 x 2,160). Life-like 3D images emerge from the 4K screen screen with realism that makes your heart race. The level of detail is absolutely stunning—it's the closest thing to a 3D theater in your living room. Light, comfortable, passive 3D glasses offer superb image quality and a noticeable step above anything you've ever experienced at home.6

Photos are better with 4K.

See more details in your DSLR photos (8MP+) with 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160). View, share and edit photo memories with PlayMemories Studio™ software and your PlayStation®3 system on the TV screen.

It's good I think everyone should have this but, you know that feeling that you get when something looks so real that it's uncomfortable? Well, that's what it does, but you can get used to it. Also, the special glasses become pitch black when you turn them sideways. So you can't lay down and watch TV. I'd recommend that before you switch, you should put your current TV on high color depth. Just a little deeper in color every day. I like how you can play video games in your own screen so you don't have to use a split screen. Also, I really think the price for this doesn't match the TV. I think it should cost like, $5200 or even $4600. Because the price now is just unfair. I know they put a lot of work into this thing but, I just can;t get past the price. I suggest you get this TV when it's on sale or when they lower the price. I haven't bought it yet but, I have tried it. It does change the way things like cartoons look and that's a downer. Like Spongebob, Adventure Time, or Family Guy. The TV is too thin to have things like headphone jacks or any type of cords being connected to it, so it comes with little, short cords that you can connect to the TV and then you can connect other types of cords to them. Anyway, the TV is good but doesn't match the price. May 30, 2013
First Class TV! Picture quality of 4k mastered movies/videos is truly incredible - but upscaled HD is striking, too. Blu-ray 3D movies on this TV take you to a better world. But you're not limited to 3D movies. Put on the passive 3D glasses, hit the 3D button, and all HD is 3D. Miracast puts my Sony Vaio notebook on screen. It's 8 million+ pixels of Ultra HD happiness. May 28, 2013
Amazing TV! I just upgraded from the awesome XBR-65HX950 & let me tell you, I didn't think a picture could look better than that. WOW! I have to say I'm blown away by the up scaling from 1080p to 4K! I'm a gamer as well, the graphics, motion look even better on my Xbox 360 & PS3! The 3D is the best I have seen next to an Imax theater experience & no more charging the glasses. :) I also have a nice surround setup as well & the built in speakers give it a run for its money! To sum it up... I know the cost is a little high, but i know it was worth it & this is the future of high def. 4k is here to stay or at least in my living room it is. lol This TV is staying in my house for a long time! :D May 25, 2013
We took the plunge Day -3: was looking for a 1080p 70? and above TV. In the middle of the floor, a Samsung 75? 1080p 240Hz was on display, which looked great. But on the other side of the Samsung, stood the Sony 4K 65?, for the SAME price! My original plan was seriously disturbed, for the picture quality and depth belonged to a different world. Day -2: hubby decided to go for the Sony 4K. My concern of lack of 4K content was mitigated by the TV?s ability to enhance the existing signals (x-reality processor). We took the plunge. What bothered me was that a 10GB/second HDMI cable is required, but was not included. Day -1: patiently waiting for its arrival. Day 0: it looked simply beautiful on the black stand against our black & gold oriental screen. And it looked much bigger in our family room than in the show room. A reporter?s caked-on makeup instantly became too obvious. So-called HD channels displayed a wide array of clarity on the screen: CNBC stunk (apparently cost-conscious as the ?money? station); CNN was quite good; the best was Show Time HD. We were mesmerized by the picture quality of ?Woman in Black? ? the three pieces of a dark suite were clearly distinct in the dark hunted castle. The details were intoxicating. HBO HD wasn't bad either. NBC sports HD seemed to stretch the picture a bit, which was annoying. Initially, we weren't impressed by the standard sound, but found it quite good for a flat panel TV after enhancing the lower frequencies. Wireless set up was easy. The iManual was very helpful. Many apps, but cannot access Netflix or Hulu+ (1 year free) without registering the TV. Day 1: We had been very satisfied with the Samsung 33? 1080 in the kitchen?until today. The Sony 4K in the distance was so much clearer and richer in color and details ? and this was only the network (NBC) signal. I dream a dream of 4K network one day... We've owned this TV for <24 hours, obviously lots yet to be experienced and figured out. May 22, 2013
