Bring a cinema atmosphere into your living room with the Sony BRAVIA A8
Get some popcorn and drinks, switch off the lights and start the film. With the BRAVIA OLED A8 series, Sony brings the cinema feeling into your home. Thanks to Sony's technology, your film enjoyment is free from visible speakers, as the sound comes directly from the screen.
Experience content as the director intended
An OLED screen individually controls millions of self-illuminating pixels. Each pixel can be fully activated or deactivated. This significantly improves the difference between light and dark as well as deep black and radiant light. This allows you to see more detail, depth and texture even in dark scenes.
Digital compression when displaying films on TVs has a negative impact on quality. The powerful processor of the Sony BRAVIA A8 analyses image data precisely and ensures intense OLED contrast with pure blacks, maximum brightness and unadulterated images.
Content is upconverted to lifelike 4K resolution with unique Sony functions. Even images captured in 2K and Full HD are upscaled to near 4K by 4K X-Reality™ PRO using a unique 4K database. The object-based super resolution ensures lifelike textures in every scene. [[image:39264384]]
Unadulterated picture quality thanks to Netflix Calibrated Mode & Calman Software
The Sony BRAVIA A8 also includes Netflix Calibrated Mode. This mode was specially developed for Netflix original productions and reproduces the picture quality of the studio production on the TV. Netflix Calibrated Mode preserves the creative vision of the director.
With Portrait Displays' powerful Calman software for automatic calibration, this TV reduces colour variations from the production. This enables excellent calibration that is not possible with conventional settings. The faithful colour reproduction corresponds exactly to the original TV signal and adapts to the subtlest colour changes over time.
OLED TVs produce great images with deep blacks and vibrant colours. The Sony BRAVIA A8 can do even more: Recognise the smallest details and experience a completely new TV experience.
Sound from the centre of the screen - for an authentic cinema experience
With conventional televisions with speakers under the screen, sound and picture are often not synchronised. With Acoustic Surface Audio, the screen is also the speaker. The Sony BRAVIA A8 emits sound directly from the screen, precisely matching the sound to the picture for an even more immersive experience. So you hear the sound of the scene where it's happening.
Dolby Atmos™ and Dolby Vision™ - bring the cinema feeling home
Dolby Vision™ provides an authentic viewing experience with vivid scenes, while Dolby Atmos™ fills the room with surround sound. With the spatial Dolby Atmos sound from left, right and above, object movements are reproduced realistically. *1 [[image:39264105]]
A screen as far as the eye can see
With the ultra-slim One Slate design, the screen extends to the edge of the TV. The slim, elegant design does not distract from what is happening on the screen and blends harmoniously into any room.
With or without soundbar - the choice is yours
Enhance your cinema experience with a soundbar. The direction of this flexible stand can be adjusted so that nothing interferes with your viewing experience, even when used with a soundbar. [[productlist:13219858,13219859]]
