Product description
Product code: 82450210
Sony's X81J combines a superb 4K HDR picture, immersive sound, and the smart convenience of Google. Powered by the 4K HDR Processor X1, enjoy TRILUMINOS PRO colour, while Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos sound combine to deliver a cinematic experience. Google TV brings you a huge range of apps including your favourite streaming services, and you can control it by voice with the Google Assistant.
4K UHD resolution with Dolby Vision HDR
This screen has four times the number of pixels than Full HD TVs, delivering stunning realism, natural motion and incredible detail. High Dynamic Range expands light, dark, and every colour in between for a picture that's closer to real life. This set supports multiple HDR formats including Dolby Vision.
Features:
Google TV
Google TV gives easy access to your favourite content, services and compatible smart devices. Using the voice remote, you can ask the Google Assistant to connect and communicate with other smart devices. You can also find the latest films and TV series on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV, NOW TV and more*. With over 6000 apps available, you can cast from your smart device with Apple Airplay and Google Chromecast built-in too.
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.
Narrow Bezel design for immersive viewing
An extremely narrow bezel frame draws the eye to naturally focus on the picture, not its surroundings.
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.
