Overview
Sony drives this OLED panel with its XR processor, lighting each pixel on its own for true black, and plays sound through the screen surface so voices come from the picture. Google TV handles apps and voice search, with AirPlay and Google Cast for phones.
Support for every major HDR format plus sound that comes from the image makes it a strong all-round living room screen. It works smoothly with a PlayStation, though the single USB port limits plug-in storage and accessories.
Who it's for
Mid-size living rooms and bedrooms suit this size, and PlayStation players get automatic tone mapping and genre modes. Shoppers who want a wall-filling picture or a published brightness figure should keep looking.
Pros and cons
- Self-lit pixels for true black
- Dolby Vision and HDR10+ both supported
- Sound comes from the screen itself
- AirPlay and Google Cast built in
- Only one USB port
- Peak brightness not listed
- Two-channel speakers, add a soundbar for surround
Performance notes
Contrast comes from pixels switching off fully, so black depth does not depend on a backlight. The XR processor upscales HD sources and reduces motion blur in sports. Sound uses the panel as a speaker surface, which ties dialogue to faces on screen.
