Sony Europe has announced the retail availability of its 2022 X80K 4K HDR televisions . The entry level sets come in a wide array of screen sizes and are on sale now at select retailers. The X80K allows you to see glorious 4K pictures, rich with real world detail and texture, exclusively powered by Sony’s 4K HDR processor X1™. Images filmed in 2K and even HD are upscaled close to 4K levels of detail by 4K X-Reality™ PRO using a unique 4K database.
In the audio department, designed to complement the sound quality and slimness of the TV with its unique new shape, Sony’s X-Balanced Speaker drives movies and music with clear sound.
The X80K is equipped with Google TV, which brings together more than 700,000 movies, shows, live TV and more from apps and subscriptions and organises them seamlessly. Easily find something to watch with personalised recommendations and bookmark shows and movies to a single Watchlist to keep track of what to watch. Users can even add to their Watchlist from their phone or laptop with Google Search.[1]
This year, Sony also introduces a newly developed original camera device, BRAVIA CAM[2], which recognises where users are sitting and optimises the picture and sound accordingly. It includes gesture controls, video chat and many other fun, new experiences waiting to be explored.
With growing demand for even larger TV screens, there is also the risk of greater resource and energy use. However, Sony is committed to sustainability from the development process all the way through to the viewing experience. Sony’s “Road to Zero” global environmental plan aims to achieve a sustainable society by reaching a zero environmental footprint throughout the life cycle of its products and business activities by the year 2050. With these goals in mind, our 2022 TVs use high recycled plastic content with Sony-developed SORPLAS™. By using SORPLAS™[3], we’ve increased our use of recycled material without sacrificing design and durability and reduced overall virgin plastic use by up to 60%[4], which equates to approximately 140,000,000 compact discs. Additionally, Sony’s BRAVIA CAM can recognise when viewers are no longer in front of the TV and dim the display to conserve energy.
The X80K Sony TVs are available in Europe now.
