Sony Electronics Introduces ‘Perfect for PlayStation®5’ for BRAVIA XR™ TVs

Sony Electronics Inc. today introduced the ‘Perfect for PlayStation®5’ campaign for its BRAVIA XR TV models Z9J, A90J, A80J, X95J and X90J (“BRAVIA XR TVs”), which are specially designed to work perfectly with the PlayStation 5 (“PS5™”) and offer a fantastic gaming experience with immersive picture and sound.

‘Perfect for PlayStation 5’ TVs will bring in two brand-new PS5 exclusive features1 – Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode. They also support frame rates up to 120fps in a super-crisp 4K resolution as specified in HDMI 2.1 for compatible games2. Additionally, with input lag as low as 6.0ms on the Z9J and 8.5ms3 on the other BRAVIA XR TV models, customers can experience extraordinary smoothness and responsiveness in shooting, sports and high-performance games with instant on-screen action.

“In collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment, we are thrilled to offer our customers new features to enhance their gaming experiences,” said Tyler Ishida, Deputy President for Consumer Business Group, Sony Electronics Inc. “With best-in-class picture quality, low input lag and the addition of Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode, we can confidently say that BRAVIA XR TVs are ‘Perfect for PlayStation 5’.”

Sony’s BRAVIA XR TVs deliver stunningly realistic pictures full of vibrant colors and eye-catching contrast, complemented by unique sound from screen technology that puts users right in the heart of the action whether they’re playing a game or watching a movie.

‘Perfect for PlayStation®5’ BRAVIA XR-exclusive Features

  • Auto HDR Tone Mapping4: With Auto HDR Tone Mapping, the HDR settings will be optimized instantly during PS5 initial setup. The PS5 will automatically recognize individual BRAVIA XR TV models and select the best HDR setting for the TV accordingly. With the optimized HDR tone mapping level to customers’ BRAVIA display specification, they’ll see crucial details and colors even in high contrast scenes. For instance, users will get the addition of detailed objects on the track in Gran Turismo™ 75,6 so they know just how to make their next move.
  • Auto Genre Picture Mode4,7: BRAVIA XR TVs can detect whether users are playing a game or watching movies and shows. With Auto Genre Picture Mode, the TV automatically switches into Game Mode when gaming, which minimizes input lag to make the action more responsive, or to Standard Mode when watching movies via a streaming service or from an Ultra HD Blu-ray™ disc on the PS5, which shifts focus to picture processing for a more expressive picture.

    Software updates, available by the end of January 2022, on both PS5 and BRAVIA XR TVs are required to access Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode.4
