Sony Introduces the Perfect Collaboration with its BRAVIA XR TVs And PlayStation 5

Planned after the PlayStation 5 (PS5) hype, Sony has introduced a ‘Perfect for PlayStation 5’ campaign for BRAVIA XR TVs specially designed to work perfectly with the PlayStation 5  and offer a fantastic gaming experience with immersive picture and sound. 

‘Perfect for PlayStation 5’ TVs will bring in two brand-new PS5 exclusive features – Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode. They also support frame rates up to 120fps in a super-crisp 4K resolution as specified in HDMI 2.1 in compatible games. Additionally, with input lag as low as 6.0ms on the Z9J models, you’ll achieve extraordinary smoothness and responsiveness in a first-person shooter, sports, and high-performance games with the instant on-screen action. Expect to get immersed into your games as though you are within one. 

Auto HDR Tone Mapping

With Auto HDR Tone Mapping, the HDR settings will be optimised instantly during your PS5 initial setup. The PS5 will automatically recognise individual BRAVIA TV models and select the best HDR setting for the TV accordingly. With the optimised HDR tone mapping level to your BRAVIA display specification, you’ll see crucial details and colours even in high contrast scenes. For instance, you will get the addition of detailed objects on the track in Gran Turismo 7 so you know just how to make your next move.

Auto Genre Picture Mode

BRAVIA XR TVs can detect whether you are playing a game or watching movies and shows. With Auto Genre Picture Mode, your TV automatically switches into Game Mode when gaming, which minimises input lag to make the action more responsive, or to Standard Mode when watching movies via a streaming service or from an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc on the PS5, which shifts focus to picture processing for a more expressive picture.

Auto Genre Picture Mode will be available via future software updates on PS5 and BRAVIA TVs by the end of January 2022.

Elevate your experience with Sony’s sound products

Sony’s BRAVIA XR TVs are an excellent match for an array of Sony’s sound products, such as the HT-A9 Home Theatre System or the HT-A7000 and HT-A5000 soundbars. You can connect the products directly to your PS5 and experience the Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode BRAVIA XR-exclusive functions on a BRAVIA XR TV. For most features, software updates are needed from 2022 onwards.
