IMAX Enhanced sound by DTS:X
You can enjoy a truly cinematic experience with select Disney+ titles on BRAVIA and BRAVIA Theatre, powered by IMAX Enhanced technology.
Uniquely shaped for clearer sound and deeper bass
Clarity is crucial. Unlike conventional TV speakers where sound waves can become blurred, our X-Balanced Speaker with its uniquely shaped diaphragm reduces distortion for improved sound resolution.
Intelligent processing upscales ordinary stereo sound to extraordinary 3D surround.
Be immersed. Our 3D Surround Upscaling creates virtual surround from above and the sides using just the TV speakers. Even 2ch and 5.1ch audio is upscaled to immersive 5.1.2ch sound. Moreover, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support provides unforgettable spatial sound.

It's nothing short of revolutionary. Our 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates phantom speakers beyond physical speakers for a cinema-like layout and true movie theatre entertainment at home.
Sony | BRAVIA Connect app

Control your BRAVIA Theatre effortlessly
Easily control features such as sound field and volume using just the TV remote. With an integrated UI, soundbar sound settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu.
Perfectly integrates TV and soundbar, almost no stand visible
Cleverly concealed. Our Underlay Stand is a thin, flat steel plate designed with a metallic hairline finish. Stack BRAVIA Theatre on top of the stand and it virtually disappears.

Various features in HDMI 2.1
Our TVs feature 4K at 120fps, Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode, delivering smooth and clear movement for responsive gameplay.
4K / 120fps
BRAVIA is designed to harmonise with people's needs while respecting natural resources. We're accelerating our accessibility initiatives, enabling people who are blind or deaf to use Sony's devices, and expanding our environmental initiatives by incorporating recycled plastic into our products. Entertainment becomes more inclusive and enjoyable for all.
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)
Less environmental impact, more immersive pictures and sound. BRAVIA helps you optimise energy consumption with the Eco Dashboard 2 while reducing CO2 emissions by 31 and cutting packaging size by maximum 41 and total weight by maximum 12.
Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM)
Our Road to Zero initiative aims to reduce environmental impact at every stage of our business. By 2050, we're striving for zero environmental footprint-driven by innovation and sustainability.
Love the planet, smart for all
Screen brightness optimised to your room with ambient light sensing. As our XR Backlight Master Drive controls LEDs precisely, you'll see realistic pictures while saving power.
Balancing environment and entertainment
Easily change eco settings, individually or in one go. Eco Dashboard 2 puts everything conveniently in one place and can even monitor your power consumption for optimum efficiency.
Aiming to achieve a smaller footprint
Considering the environment. This TV uses recycled materials for the rear cover, bezel, speaker box and inner/outer parts to reduce virgin plastic use.
Keep brightness. Save Power.
Our packaging is maximum 41 smaller and maximum 12 lighter which optimises transport efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions by as much as 31.
Check your eco settings. See your power usage.
Technology that adapts to you. No matter your age, ability, or environment, we make it easier for everyone to see, hear, and enjoy the best of entertainment.
Less virgin plastic, more recycled
Sony leverages creativity and technology to enhance the accessibility of our products, services, and experiences. Through our commitment to an inclusive future, we aim to create a world where everyone belongs.
Less packaging. Less CO2.
Talkback allows you to check the TV programme guides on screen or to change TV settings without looking at the screen, while the Text Magnification will display an enlarged version of the focused text at the bottom or top of the screen.
Accessibility for all, whatever your needs
Users of BRAVIA with Google Assistant built-in can simply say "OK Google" and say a task, for example, searching for a YouTube video, and it will be done. Voice commands can also be used to operate the BRAVIA itself, such as turning it on or off or changing the volume.
Initiatives at Sony
To help people who are blind or have low vision set up the soundbar, tactile dots indicate a QR code for the BRAVIA Connect app, which offers screen reader support. Tactile dots on the back panel indicate the eARC HDMI terminal for connecting to a TV.
Talkback and text magnification functions
No more muffled voices. Our Voice Zoom 3 recognises human dialogue through AI machine learning and amplifies or reduces its volume so even small dialogue sounds loud and clear. Works with our home theatre products too.
Hands-free operation, including video searches
Our TV with simultaneous sound output lets you listen to a show on your headphones while your partner listens to the same show through the TV speakers. You can also change the volume using Bluetooth devices separately. Using Sony's headphone, you can smoothly switch Bluetooth connection from other devices.
Accessible for all
Invert the brightness of colours so that bright areas become dark, and dark areas become bright. This feature can be turned on or off as needed. If the text is easier to read with a dark or bright background colour, you can use Colour Inversion to change the background colour.
Crystal clear voice. With AI technology.
