Just yesterday, LG Electronics was announcing plans to put Dolby Vision support into its 2017 OLED TVs. Sony Electronics is following suit, debuting new sets that also include the HDR format.
According to Sony, the 2017 XBR-X930E/X940E and XBR-A1E BRAVIA OLED TVs will include support for Dolby Vision, a proprietary form of HDR technology with a wide color gamut. HDR allows video content to have more steps between the blackest black and the whitest white, which means you can capture high-contrast scenes, such as sunsets, starfields, street lamps, and more, all with much greater realism.
Of course, all three of the new Sony TVs are also OLED TVs, which uses self-illuminating (self-emissive) pixels to create an even brighter and more colorful image.
The XBR-X930E/X940E series will come packing the enhanced 4K HDR Processor X1 Extreme from Sony, which can upscale almost any content to near-4K quality. Other features include the X-tended Dynamic Range PRO and the TRILUMINOS Display. The X930E also has the Slim Backlight Drive+ with a quad-edge LED structure for precise local dimming control. The X940E is built-in, with full-array direct LED backlight.
The XBR-A1E includes Sony's 4K HDR Processor X1 Extreme, 4K X-Reality PRO, and a super-cool, stand-less form factor. It also has something new called Acoustic Surface technology, which actually vibrates the display and enables sound to be output directly from the TV screen.
Also worth mentioning is that both models are powered by Android TV, so viewers can stream all sorts of movies, TV shows, music tracks, photos, games, apps, and much more, all right to the TV. If you can't find something to stream, you can tap into the set's PlayStation Vue and Ultra Services (subscriptions and/or fees may apply), as well as the built-in ChromeCast features.
Currently, more than 80 studio titles are available in Dolby Vision, with another 100 hours of original content currently streaming in Dolby Vision across leading OTT providers globally. Dolby Vision will also be available soon on new Ultra HD Blu-ray releases, which are scheduled for sometime in 2017.
