Sony A8 55" 4K Ultra HD HDR OLED Smart Android TV - Black | KD55A8BU

<h3>Reproduces a wider, more precise range of colours</h3> <p>By widening the colour spectrum, TRILUMINOS powered by our X1 processors reproduces more colours than a conventional television. It analyses and processes data in every image to make colours even more natural and precise so pictures are closer than ever to real life.</p> <h3>Supreme resolution, whatever you’re watching</h3> <p>Any kind of content can be upconverted to lifelike 4K resolution with Sony’s unique features. Our X1 Ultimate, twice as fast as the X1 Extreme, precisely analyses and processes data to enrich 4K2 pictures with real world detail and texture. Even images filmed in 2K and Full HD are upscaled close to 4K by 4K X-Reality PRO using a unique 4K database. Resolution of each subject is then optimised by Object-based Super Resolution to reproduce virtually real world textures.</p> <h3>Boosting colour and contrast for extra depth and realism</h3> <p>See real-world colours, discover the detail in deep shadow and bright highlights. With Pixel Contrast Booster, colour and contrast are enhanced in bright areas so you can enjoy scenes full of lifelike shades and hues, more depth, fine texture and the pure black contrast that only OLED can deliver.</p> <h3>Beautiful colours from any angle</h3> <p>Watching TV from the sides is now as satisfying as from the centre. Our self-illuminating OLED panel keeps colours consistent and true, wherever you’re watching.</p> <h3>Super Bit Mapping HDR</h3> <p>There are thousands of tones, shades and gradations of light in a sunset. Super Bit Mapping HDR reveals them. It creates smooth, natural 4K TV picture quality as you watch, without the “banding” that can occur on other TVs.</p> <h3>Making fast-moving scenes bright and clear</h3> <p>With pictures created by millions of individually controlled pixels, everything is sharp and clear on OLED. And with our X-Motion Clarity technology, even fast action stays smooth and clear. Moving images are precisely controlled to minimise blur so that pictures remain true with less loss in brightness during high speed scenes.</p> <h3>Object-based HDR remaster</h3> <p>With Object-based HDR remaster, the colour in individual objects on screen is analysed and the contrast adjusted, unlike most TVs where contrast is only adjusted along one black-to-white contrast curve. Because objects are remastered individually, this TV can reproduce greater depth, textures and more realistic pictures.</p> <h3>Sound from the screen, incredibly immersive</h3> <p>Sound on conventional TVs with a speaker located below the screen is often out of sync with the picture. With our Acoustic Surface Audio, the screen is the speaker. An innovative actuator vibrates discreetly to create sound so what you hear comes from the place in the scene where the action is happening – dialogue from characters, engine noise from a car – rather than from speakers at the sides.</p> <h3>Dual database processing</h3> <p>One database is used to clean the picture, reducing on-screen noise. The other is used to upscale the resolution, improving clarity. These two powerful image improvement databases work together, dynamically improving pixels in real time. Each database has tens of thousands of references, amassed from our experience creating content for TV and movies over the years.</p> <h3>Enjoy multidimensional sound with S-Force Front Surround</h3> <p>Hear sound as you would from a separate multi surround speaker. By upconverting inputs, S-Force Front Surround virtually reproduces a multi surround speaker system within your TV so you can enjoy all the thrills of more immersive sound.</p> <h3>Power your soundtracks</h3> <p>With a subwoofer integrated into the rear of the TV, you’ll hear more dynamic, bass-heavy sound – ideal for action movies and music.</p> <h3>Clearly hear voices</h3> <p>With Voice Zoom, you can hear human speech clearly without having to turn up the volume – ideal for news bulletins and documentaries.</p> <h3>Supreme pictures and sound, whatever the environment</h3> <p>Sit back and enjoy the best possible viewing experience. Sony's unique ambient optimisation technology automatically adjusts picture and sound to your environment.</p> <h3>Narrow metal bezel</h3> <p>Keeps you focused on the picture, not the television.</p> <h3>One slate design concept</h3> <p>Our slim and simple one slate design keeps you focused on the screen while blending harmoniously in any room environment.</p> <h3>Flexible Metal Blade Stand, sound bar ready</h3> <p>The direction of this versatile stand can be adjusted so your TV display won't disturb your viewing, even when used with a sound bar.</p> <h3>Say what you want to watch</h3> <p>Find your favourite content faster than ever using the power of your voice. With Voice Search, there’s no more complicated navigation or tiresome typing – you just have to ask.</p> <h3>Cable clutter minimised</h3> <p>Cable holders keep wires neatly hidden so your television stays free of clutter and looks good from the front, the sides and the back.</p> <h3>Over 5000 apps, more than any other smart TV</h3> <p>Sony's Android Smart TV has an unbeatable number of apps. Choose the ones that make your life more fun and entertaining.</p> <h3>No more waiting</h3> <p>Apps start fast and there’s no more waiting when you switch between apps—Netflix starts 3x faster than before.</p> <h3>Just talk, a fun way to explore new worlds</h3> <p>Find all the entertainment you can dream of, as fast as you can talk. With advanced voice control, this Android smart TV lets you enjoy movies and shows from apps or broadcast in an instant.</p> <h3>Control your TV and smart devices with your voice</h3> <p>You can ask your TV with the Google Assistant to connect and communicate with your smart devices including security cameras and appliances. It’s truly effortless and offers the ultimate experience.</p> <h3>Works with Google Home</h3> <p>Connect Google Home for seamless hands-free control of a Sony TV. With Google Home, you can find and cast your favourite videos to your Sony TV, without lifting a finger.</p> <h3>Connect with your Alexa</h3> <p>Connect your Alexa enabled devices for seamless hands-free control of a Sony TV. With Alexa, you can power up your TV, change channels, control volume and more.</p> <h3>Easy control with smart remote</h3> <p>Connect set top boxes and other devices via HDMI to your TV and control them all using one smart commander. A slimmer, more rounded design with built-in voice control microphone and enhanced button layout makes it really easy to use too.</p> <h3>Send to a bigger, better screen with Chromecast</h3> <p>Chromecast lets you cast your favourite videos, games and apps from your mobile device, in full quality, to your TV. Just one tap of the Cast button on your Android or iOS screen is all you need to supersize the things you love. Cast your content then continue browsing on your phone or tablet.</p> <h3>Works with Apple AirPlay / Apple HomeKit 8</h3> <p>With Apple AirPlay, you can stream video and audio to your television right from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Watch movies and shows from the Apple TV app, your favourite apps, or even Safari. Share your photos with everyone in the room.</p> <h3>Clear Phase for smooth, balanced frequencies</h3> <p>BRAVIA uses a powerful computer model to analyse and compensate for inaccuracies in speaker response. It does this by ‘sampling’ the speaker frequency with higher precision. This information is fed back to cancel out any peaks or dips in the speaker’s natural response – resulting in pure, natural audio with smooth, even reproduction of all frequencies.</p> <h3>Bluetooth connectivity</h3> <p>Connect BLUETOOTH compatible devices to your TV for easy wire free entertainment. Pair your Bluetooth headphones or earphones with BRAVIA and enjoy TV shows and music in your favourite place - without any disturbances or interruptions.</p> <h3>Google Play: A world of content and apps</h3> <p>Discover movies and TV shows, games and much more from Google Play. Enjoy a huge and ever-growing choice of apps12 on your TV in a brand new way.</p> <h3>IMAX Enhanced</h3> <p>This Sony 4K Smart TV is an IMAX Enhanced product, ready to meet high-quality colour, contrast, clarity and sound. Take comfort in knowing you'll be enjoying a fully immersive at-home entertainment experience on this TV that takes full advantage of IMAX Enhanced content.</p> <h3>Enjoy studio quality with Netflix Calibrated Mode</h3> <p>This mode was specially developed to enjoy Netflix originals and reproduce the same picture quality on a TV as on a studio evaluation master. With Netflix Calibrated Mode, the creator's vision and intent is faithfully preserved.</p> <h3>YouView: the best of catch-up and on-demand TV</h3> <p>With YouView built-in, you can scroll back up to seven days to watch shows from BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, Channel 5 and Pop Fun. You can also access an extensive library of on-demand content. Simply connect your BRAVIA to an aerial and broadband connection to get started with YouView.</p> <h3>Embrace the thrills of the cinema</h3> <p>Enjoy cinematic thrills at home. Dolby Vision brings scenes vividly to life for authentic viewing, while Dolby Atmos fills the room with immersive surround sound.</p> <h3>Preserving the passion of the creators</h3> <p>To address colour variations from the production process, this TV is ready to use Portrait Displays’ high-performance CalMAN auto-calibration software. This allows an unprecedented level of calibration and the ability to fine tune adjustments simply not possible through conventional picture settings. It delivers high-fidelity colour reproduction that's true to the original TV signal and can even adapt to the subtlest changes in colour that may occur over time. This TV is CalMAN ready, allowing customers to benefit from software used by visual creators in post-production, quality-control workflows, further demonstrating our commitment to deliver pictures with professional-grade colour calibrated accuracy in the home.</p>
