Sony is launching its new Master series television range with two displays the A9F and Z9F featuring the next gen picture processor X1 ultimate.
Sony says the X1 processor can detect and analyse each object in the picture through the company’s new Object-based Super Resolution for exceptional accuracy and detail.
With the Master series comes the Netflix calibrated mode where the display mirrors the same picture quality as a studio master monitor for television in order to preserve the artists’ creative vision and intent.
The Master series is also compatible with CalMAN the display calibration software from Portrait Display.
The flagship A9F TV comes equipped with the Pixel Contrast Booster, which maximises the dynamic range by widening the area of colour reproduction at high brightness. Sony says pictures are enhanced with extra detail and texture.
The A9F TV has Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology, giving the TV an additional actuator in the centre of the screen and an extra sub woofer channel, totalling to a 3.2 channel sound system.
Sony says the additional centre actuator acts just like centre speakers hidden behind an AT (acoustically transparent) screen which are found in movie theatres.
The A9F has a TV Centre Speaker Mode that allows the Acoustic Surface Audio+™ to be used as the centre speaker of a home theatre system.
The Z9F’s has an X-Wide Angle ensuring the picture retains its quality regardless of the angle from which it is being watched.
Both displays come with Android TV hands-free voice search function.
Both will be available from October with pricing to come.
