Sony launches BRAVIA OLED TV A8H
Sony launched the new 4K HDR OLED televisions A8H series in India. The high-powered processor in this 4K OLED TV creates a beautiful picture in total harmony with sound, all from a stunning one-slate design.
The A8H OLED TV is available in 164 cm (65) in a very slim form factor. The TV is powered by self-illuminating pixels which are precisely and individually controlled by the picture processor X1 Ultimate. It provides crisp, high-contrast and true-to-life picture. This processor showing amazing versatility, also scales up SD (Standard Definition) and HD (High Definition) content to near 4K picture quality.
Acoustic Surface Audio in A8H includes twin subwoofers for bass that enables sound to follow the action for a truly immersive experience. An innovative actuator behind the screen vibrates discreetly to create sound giving viewers the feeling that sound is coming directly from the place in the scene where the action is happening such as dialogue from characters, engine noise from a car.
A8H boasts of unique ambient optimisation technology automatically adjusting picture and sound to your environment. On conventional TVs, brightness stays the same regardless of light in a room, resulting in pictures that are too dark or bright. This OLED TV includes an embedded light sensor that optimises picture brightness to room conditions, boosting brightness in light rooms and reducing it in dark ones, so you get the perfect view. Similarly, sound experience can also change depending on your room environment. Curtains, for example, absorb sound while objects in front of the TV can disturb the passage of sound, compromising the quality of what you hear. This TV detects objects and reproduces sound that’s enhanced and optimised as per the setting in your room.
The A8H features Sony’s Android TV which supports more than 5000 apps and game from Google Play, including YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Video, Disney+ Hotstar. For deeper smart home integration, the OLED TV also has built-in voice assistant. The built-in microphones on the TV will allow viewers to have a truly hands-free experience. Viewers can simply talk to the TV to find what they want quickly, or to play TV shows, movies, and more without using the TV remote.
A8H is compatible with Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. AirPlay 2 lets you effortlessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad and Mac right to your Sony TV. HomeKit lets you easily and securely control smart home products using the Home app or by asking Siri on your Apple devices. The TV can also work with popular smart speakers like Google Home or Amazon Echo, which allow viewers to control the TV and stream content on it just by asking smart speakers.
The A8H pairs the brilliance of 4K clarity with the brightness, colour, and detail of High Dynamic Range (HDR). It features a picture mode specially developed to enjoy Netflix Originals called the NETFLIX Calibrated Mode. This mode reproduces the same picture quality on the TV as the creators intended. On AH8 you can also experience the cinema thrills with Dolby Vision that brings scenes vividly to life for authentic viewing, while Dolby Atmos fills the room with immersive surround sound. In addition, the TV comes with eARC HDMI input to connect and enjoy Dolby Atmos content on supported audio devices.
