Sony BRAVIA XR55X90LU

”This is a superb option that delivers consistently cinematic and cinematically consistent results. An excellent buy.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.

A higher grade of 55 inch TV
The Sony BRAVIA XR-55X90LU might be the smallest model in the X90LU range, but that doesn’t stop it from having the same brilliant tech as the larger models. At it’s heart, the Full Array screen with improved local dimming gives this Sony 55 inch TV a sense of realism that’s hard for rivals to match. Factor in the huge range of picture settings, improved gaming features and built-in Google TV and this is clearly a TV that impresses on all fronts.

Full Array LED, with improved local dimming
Full Array, local dimming screens increase the number of dimming zones, giving the processor greater control over the image’s brightness and clarity. With its newly designed dimming structure, the Sony BRAVIA XR55X90LU improves contrast and depth, bringing scenes vividly to life. For picture realism, this Sony 55 inch TV sets the standard in its class.

Extended colour volume, with XR Triluminos Pro
Powered by the Cognitive Processor XR, XR Triluminos Pro reproduces the widest range of colours, in the most natural shades possible. Whether you’re watching nature documentaries or spectacular movie scenes, XR Triluminos brings the images to life.

Less blur and smoother images
Sony’s XR Clear Image uses zone and frame analysis to minimise noise and blur. Keeping the millions of pixels in check, Sony’s XR Motion Clarity technology keeps the action flowing smoothly. It also minimises blur, using powerful processing to strike the perfect balance between ultimate detail and the smoothest motion.

Picture quality as the creator intended – IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Vision and Calman Ready
Compatible with a wide range of technologies, the BRAVIA XR55X90LU reproduces visuals, just as the creator intended. IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Vision compatibility help deliver cinematic vision. Calman Ready, this TV is also ideal for those who wish to calibrate their TV to truly professional levels. If you’re a boxset and movie fan, you’ll love NACM (Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode). NACM works with BRAVIA XR’s ambient light optimisation, adjusting the picture brightness to best show the drama in your room’s lighting conditions.

Works with BRAVIA CAM*
The optional BRAVIA CAM (extra cost option), is the innovative camera that does so much more than just video calls. BRAVIA CAM recognises where viewers are sitting and optimises the picture brightness to best suit the lighting conditions. Sound is optimised, too, giving you clearer dialogue and more accurate tracking. It also facilitates the use of gesture control, letting you change channel or adjust volume using simple gestures. All this plus it still functions with your TV to make it the ultimate device for video calls.

*Sound, brightness and gesture functions due via firmware update.

Perfect sync between sound and vision
Sony’s unique Acoustic Multi-Audio speaker system enhances the sync between what you see and what you hear. Frame speakers pinpoint the sound to the action, heightening the sense of connection and realism.

XR Surround and 360 Spatial Sound Personaliser for enveloping sound
XR Surround with 3D Surround Upscaling takes a regular audio signal and creates a virtual surround sound effect – making you feel more immersed in the action. Combine this TV with Sony’s SRS-NS7 wearable speaker or selected headphones and enjoy Dolby Atmos and simulated surround sound via 360 Spatial Sound.

Boost with a soundbar
Add a compatible Sony soundbar and enjoy sound that is more than the sum of the parts. With Acoustic Centre Sync, TV and soundbar combine to produce the clearest speech possible. A compatible Sony soundbar also improves the sound’s scale, realism and spaciousness, taking the audio to a new dimension.

New gaming features
From the makers of the PS5, here’s a TV that gives you more customisation with games than ever. With a new gaming menu, it’s easier to access your game status, settings and assist functions. This TV also makes the perfect screen for your PS5. Whether you’re gaming or watching a movie on your PS5, the TV automatically adjusts to optimise the picture and settings. Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode mean your PS5 is served better than ever by this Sony TV.
