Product description

Product code: 82451006

Experience the brilliant realism of a beautiful OLED picture harmonised with Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio tech for exceptionally accurate sound. The A8's elegantly thin OLED panel is enriched by the authentic colour of a TRILUMINOS display, while Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos sound combine to immerse you in a cinematic experience. The Android platform opens up an enormous range of online content, you can control it by voice with the Google Assistant, and its One Slate design is super sleek.

4K OLED Screen
The Organic LED display doesn't have a backlight, meaning that each pixel is self-illuminating. Every speck of light controls its own luminescence for true depth and colour gradation. With 8 million of these pixels, this 4K OLED set produces impeccably deep blacks, bright whites, and scintillating colour, within a blur-free image that is just as stunning from any angle.

HDR with Dolby Vision
High Dynamic Range deepens your view and shows shades previously unseen in home entertainment. Expanding light, dark and every colour in between to extraordinary new levels, this model's picture gets closer to real life. This set supports multiple HDR formats including Dolby Vision.

4K Ultra High Definition
This 55” screen has four times the number of pixels than 1080p HD TVs, delivering stunning realism, natural motion and incredible detail.

Features:

Acoustic Surface Audio: Two specially-designed actuators in the back panel utilise the entire screen as an acoustic surface. The screen is the speaker. Sounds emanate accurately from their point of origin within the image and an integrated subwoofer delivers powerful bass. It harmonises audio with visual, and enables super thin screen design.

X1 Ultimate Picture Processor: Sony’s flagship processor enhances the detail and colour of every object on screen, providing clarity, depth and natural texture to everything you watch.

X-Motion Clarity: Fast moving pictures are smooth and realistic. It delivers a blur-free image without losing brightness; ideal for sport, action and gaming.

Pixel Contrast Booster: Enhanced colour contrast in high luminance. Everything you watch comes to life with fine detail and vivid colour.

TRILUMINOS Display: Accurately reproduces a wide spectrum of shades and colours. Coupled with Sony’s Precision Colour Mapping technology, the result is breathtaking, yet realistic imagery.

Dolby Atmos Sound: Surround sound fills the room for immersive audio realism. Combined with Dolby Vision, it produces a richly cinematic experience.

Netflix Calibrated Mode: Specially tailored to ensure Netflix content is delivered at the visual quality the studio intended.

Android TV with Voice Remote and Google Assistant built-in
This Sony smart TV allows you to talk to the remote to find films and TV series, switch apps, answer questions, and control other compatible smart home devices. You can access streaming services in an instant, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play Movies and Disney+.* And you can display content from your smartphone, tablet or other devices with Chromecast built in. It also works with Alexa-enabled devices, Apple Airplay and Apple HomeKit.

Youview Catch-Up
In addition to a wealth of online entertainment, this set comes with built-in YouView. The seven day scroll back TV guide brings together catch up TV from across BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and My5.** You can also enjoy over 70 live TV channels and radio stations for free, such as BBC 1 & 2, ITV, Channel 4, E4, Channel 5, 5 USA, ITV 2 and Dave.

One Slate Design
With super-slim design, this OLED TV is remarkably thin and elegant. A narrow metal bezel keeps you focused on the picture, while cable management features keep connecting wires hidden from view to complete the seamless look. The flexible Metal Blade stand can also be adjusted to accommodate a sound bar.

Perfect partners
With TVs getting slimmer and built-in speakers getting smaller, choosing the right sound system is more important than ever. Soundbars enhance your TV’s sound quality and add that extra audio punch to all your movies, games and TV programmes. More affordable and easier to set up than a full size speaker system, they don’t compromise on quality either.
Take a look at our full range of soundbars.

Don't forget...
If you want to connect your TV to a blu-ray player, games console, soundbar or soundbase then you'll need a HDMI cable.
