At the CES 2018 exhibition in Las Vegas, Sony distinguished itself with a nimble approach: the release of updated Xperia smartphones, an extreme camera, a robodog and two series of televisions. TV manufacturers follow the vector of increasing the brightness of screens, which allows generating images in the HDR format, which has been widely and long used in photography. Since last year, Sony has returned to OLED screen technology for TVs (Bravia A1E series), as can be seen from the CES 2017 exhibition. This year, the XF90 series with LCD panels and the A8F series with OLED matrices and proprietary sound transmission technology were presented to the public. through the surface of the Acoustic Surface screen.
The same system was installed on Bravia OLED TVs in 2017, along with 4K HDR technology. And Sony's new development transmitted vibrations to the display, due to which the sound was reproduced directly from the screen. In 2018, engineers, on the basis of implemented technologies, supplemented Bravia with the ability to bring the picture on the screen closer to 4K HDR and provide an incomparable experience.
Complex developments in TV from Sony: HDR, X1 Extreme and 4K
Panels with 4K images from Sony combine realism, a high level of contrast, deep black color and rich natural shades. Each of the 8 million pixels is controlled by the X1 Extreme processor. This is color correction of individual objects, technology of smooth color transition and contrast, 2 databases to increase resolution and suppress noise. The processor accurately processes the picture in real time, which allows you to increase the detail and bring the quality of any video as close as possible to the level of 4K HDR.
Speaking of HDR, TVs support HDR10, Hybrid Log Gamma and Dolby Vision formats, in which the picture corresponds to the quality of the original recording due to the improved range of contrast between dark and bright areas. And for beauty, the developers installed auxiliary technologies, for example, X-Motion Clarity, Triluminos Display, Super Bit Mapping and many other interesting things.
The design of the panel is thought out so as not to distract from the viewing area: it is an ultra-thin screen, narrow frames and perfect order around - hidden wires. And the essence of sound technology is concentrated on the rear panel:
The built-in subwoofer reproduces powerful bass and deep sound;
Two new drive mechanisms create vibration of the screen - and an amazing sound.
In last year's version, the Acoustic Surface TV was installed without a subwoofer on the back panel, only in the stand. It can be noticed that Sony worked not only on the quality of the image, but also on the clarity of the image, improving it in real time. And they decorated it with an all-attention-absorbing sound.
About Acoustic Surface technology
Magnificent image continuously with sound accompaniment for the completeness of the impression. In this case, the sound is reproduced by the entire back surface of the screen, more precisely, by two innovative drives. The created vibrations move across the surface of the screen, making the effects and details more realistic, and the bass gives dynamic scenes even more power. The Acoustic Surface in the Bravia A8F TV is accompanied by several improvements:
Sony ClearAudio+ is a complex of sound technologies established to optimize TV sound. It is they, according to the assurances of the manufacturers, that allow you to feel like the main character of what is happening.
S-Force Front Surround PRO – create a 360° three-dimensional surround sound scene with the help of two front speakers.
DSEE - digital sound enhancement. The technology expands the sound range, restoring the frequencies lost during compression.
Clear Phase – analyzes the frequency range and uses the data to improve sound quality. Based on this, other technologies improve the clarity and expressiveness of the sound.
Compact sound system with TV from Sony
Ordinary TVs reproduce sound through speakers, last year's Bravia TV series from Sony - through the back of the screen using Acoustic Surface technology, but with a subwoofer in the stand. And in 2018, the system was supplemented with a powerful subwoofer on the back side, which emits vibrations around the perimeter of the display, which gives twice as much impression.
The Sony XF90 and A8F televisions presented at the exhibition are beautiful in appearance, designed so that only the viewing area is visible, and the wires, stand and speakers are hidden behind the screen. Due to this, the impression is created as if the sound is floating in the air, surrounding the viewer. That is, models occupy a minimum of space. But for those who may think this is not enough, Sony also offered a new Dolby Atmos soundbar with Vertical Surround Engine technology. But you have to try it live. Therefore, we are waiting for new arrivals on Comfy.ua.
