Specifications
The Sony Bravia XR A80J OLED TV, as stated before, features the Cognitive Processor XR image processing engine, which is a new generation image processor from Sony that claims to break down the TV’s visual aspects into multiple, individual elements, therefore getting micro-control over aspects such as colour, brightness, contrast and noise in a manner similar to what microLED TVs should be capable of doing.
Sony states that the TV features XR OLED Contrast adjustment to deliver deep blacks – a signature visual aspect of Sony OLED TVs. It also gets XR Triluminos Pro, which claims to produce better colour depth and accuracy. Even the motion clarity controller gets the XR engine treatment, but its real-world impact remains to be seen. The TV gets Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos certification, as well as XR Sound Positioning and XR Surround for better directional audio. The TV will also feature Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio conduction speakers.
The TV gets HDMI 2.1 compatibility, 4K 120fps max resolution and frame rate, variable refresh rate, and even an Auto Low Latency Mode. The Sony Bravia XR A80J OLED TV further gets an ambient optimisation feature thanks to a built-in light sensor, and as with new generation TVs, there’s also a hands-free voice search powered by the Google Assistant. The smart TV platform also supports Alexa, Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit.
