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 features – 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 games. Additionally, with input lag as low as 6.0ms on the Z9J and 8.5ms 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 Mapping: 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 colours even in high contrast scenes. For instance, users will get the addition of detailed objects on the track in Gran Turismo™ so they know just how to make their next move.

Auto Genre Picture Mode: 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.

Elevate the Experience with Sony's Sound Products
Sony's BRAVIA XR TVs are an excellent match for an array of Sony's sound products, such as the HT-A9 Home Theater System or the HT-A7000 and HT-A5000 soundbars. Users can connect the sound products directly to their PS5 and experience the Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode BRAVIA XR-exclusive functions on a BRAVIA XR TV.

I struggle to believe those example screenshots. The "non perfect" one looks virtually unplayable with that glowing white mess at the centre of the image; if thats a genuine screenshot as an example of output on a "normal" TV then I may dump my PS5 now... or, at the very least, sack off Gran Turismo 7 .

[Jenuall]

HDR seems like one of those things that is still more trouble than it's worth - I've seen plenty of situations where people have had washed out images like that as a result of using it. Anything that requires significant effort from the user to "calibrate" in order to avoid crap results is a fail for me.

[OrangeRKN]

Our new TV has HDR and yeah, I have no idea if it's set up right despite making an effort. Another reason to love handheld consoles, you just get the screen it comes with!

I was thinking the exact same! The non perfect image looks properly faked

[Jenuall]

The non perfect image there is basically what the in car view from Cyberpunk looked like for me 99% of the time, completely unplayable!

I think it's supposed to represent the glare when you drive out of a dark tunnel and the sun hits you, whereas with HDR tone mapping!!! it'll be more nuanced. Supposedly.

There was a period when every developer basically said 'Add more bloom. No MORE.'

[Victor Mildew]

The problem with HDR is there has been no real effort to set a system level standard. I've been pretty fortunate in that nearly all HDR content on my TV has looked brilliant out of the box so to speak, but there's certain games in particular that go off on their own and give you a load of sliders, none of which do anything but spoil the image. RDR2 was so washed out I turned it off, whereas on most other stuff it looks brilliant.

Doesn't help that there's HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision...

Then there's the fact most TVs can't get bright enough.

Sometimes I think it just comes down to what looks good to you. I mean there must be somebody out there using the Sports mode on their TV that turns the pitch fluorescent green.

Oh is that a common complaint about Sports mode? I tried it on my TV a few weeks back and it was awful, ridiculously bright, it was so bad I figured it must have been set up incorrectly or something.

[KK]

Yeah, I've never liked it. In some cases it also changes the audio balance to heighten the crowd noise and dim the commentary (maybe not always a bad thing).

Vibrant is another similar one, don't like that either.

[Saint of Killers]

I think those settings are handy if you have a lot of natural light hitting the set, otherwise they're just lesser versions of an attract mode setting for when the TV's in the shop.

Im pretty sure that they already used the perfect for ps5 tag for the X90H..

Turns out there's a problem with VRR implementation on some Sony TVs...

Not the greatest of ideas.

[Saint of Killers]

I can see it being an entertaining addition to watching streams depending on how it's implemented.
