Sony 4K and 8K TVs - a great start in 2021

Apparently, some changes have taken place at Sony's Japanese headquarters. We saw shifts for the better in the first days of the beginning of 2021. The company unveiled Sony 4K and 8K TVs. And this time, these are not standard actions for placing products on the shelf with competitors. The Sony brand appeared in front of buyers. If things go on like this, then the Japanese have a chance to regain their positions on the TV market that they lost over the past decade.

 

Sony 4K and 8K TVs: the best equipment

 

LCD and OLED screen technologies, large diagonals and high resolutions - this no longer surprises anyone. All this is already a passed stage for the buyer who wants to get a perfect TV in the end. A priori, the market must have a solution that meets the demand in terms of diagonal, aspect ratio and picture quality. It is not even discussed. The weak point for all brands is overall system performance.

HDMI 2.1

 

All new items (Sony 4K and 8K TVs) are equipped with HDMI version 2.1. And right away, to be clear, the buyer should know that:

 

  • HDMI 2.1 supports 4K video transmission at frame rates up to 120 Hz.
  • The HDMI 2.1 standard guarantees stable transmission of 8K signals with a frequency of no more than 60 Hz.

 

That is, in a commercial where Sony claims 8K resolution and 120 Hz, the information is distorted. The TVs will operate in 8K @ 60 Hz and 4K @ 120 Hz. The buyer must understand what he can count on.

Cognitive Processor XR

 

The volume of information (video stream) has increased, and the performance of most brands has remained at the level of 2015. And all this has led to an increase in the popularity of TV-Box. People buy set-top boxes to turn a TV into a monitor. This is stupidity, moreover, on the part of TV manufacturers. Sony Corporation has decided to put an end to this. Built into Sony 4K and 8K TVs, the Cognitive Processor XR chip is ready to compete in performance with most TV boxes on the market.

It is not entirely clear only with licenses for the video and sound format. So far, only Dolby Vision support has been announced. Having experience with Sony equipment, we can assume that there will be no problems with sound and video. Expect support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS. As well as MKV, mp4, xvid and other popular video formats. It may even be possible to play, because SONY is a supporter of working on the Android TV platform.
