CES in Las Vegas is a milestone date for many consumer electronics companies, and Sony is one of them. The Japanese firm has announced the new series of televisions that will arrive throughout this year: the Sony Bravia XR from 2022 . These inherit some of the key features of last year's models. Among them, the Sony XR cognitive processor or the ability to play content in 4K at 120 Hz. However, they also add new features that promise to significantly improve the viewing experience, such as QD-OLED technology and Mini LED, spatial audio or a series of new accessories.
One of the most important novelties of the new Sony Bravia XR from 2022 is the inclusion of the QD-OLED screen in some of the models that will be available throughout this year. Specifically, the QD-OLED panels combine Quantum Dot technology and OLED to achieve a series of advantages, such as better brightness. Sony, in fact, ensures that its televisions with QD-OLED screen are capable of offering up to 200% more brightness compared to other conventional TVs. These types of screens can also offer better contrast and colors compared to OLED screens.
Sony has also opted for Mini LED screens in some of its more premium televisions. The company highlights this screen technology as a evolution of Full Array LED and that it offers, in general, better brightness and contrast. The Mini LED screens also eliminate shading in the darkest areas, offering purer tones and without reflections thanks to one of the functions of the XR processor.
So are the Sony Bravia XR 2022
Regarding the new range of televisions, Sony has opted for 8 models of the Bravia XR range. Three of them are positioned in the range called 'Master Series', and include truly advanced features, such as panels with QD-OLED, OLED and Mini LED technology , improvements in contrast, color and resolution thanks to the XR cognitive processor, spatial sound and additional functions, such as the possibility of activating a camera for video calls or enhancing the experience when watching television. These are the 2022 Sony Bravia XR Master Series models.
Z9K Master Series 8K (Mini-LED): available in 85 and 75-inch sizes and with the possibility of change the position of the base to, for example, include a sound bar. A95K Master Series 4K (QD-OLED): available in 65 and 55 inches with two positions for its base. A90K Master Series 4K (OLED): same features as A95K, but with 48 and 42-inch OLED screen. It includes the possibility of raising its base for a more comfortable position when playing. In the Premium range Sony is committed to Mini LED technology and 4K resolution for two of its most balanced televisions, the A80K , which are available in sizes of 77, 65 and 55 inches, and the X95K , with sizes 85, 75 and 65 inches. The X90K model, on the other hand, opts for a Full Array LED panel, but maintains the improvements in color and contrast thanks to Sony's XR processor. In this chaos, with sizes of 85, 75, 65 and 55 inches.
4K and 120 Hz to get the most out of your games with the PlayStation 5 The entry range of the new Sony Bravia XR 2022 is made up of two televisions with Direct LED screen .

The Sony Bravia X85K, available in sizes 75, 65, 55, 50 and 43 inches, is perfect for gaming thanks to the ability to play 4K content at 120 HZ.

The camera, in particular, has a sensor to be able to adjust the level of brightness or colors depending on the distance or position of the user . It can also detect gestures and even make video calls. This gadget will be incorporated in all Sony Master Series models, while in the rest of the versions it can be purchased separately.
Sony, too, has taken advantage of the announcement of its new televisions to update its remote control. Now it is more compact and has a design that allows easier cleaning . In the more powerful models, in addition, the buttons are backlit and the remote includes a search mode, where it is possible to ask the Google Assistant to emit a sound to find it easily. The rest of the models in the 2022 series also include the new remote control, but without the backlit buttons or the search mode in case of loss.
