Sony KD55A8BU BRAVIA 55 Inch OLED 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart Android TV 2020 Model

“The film’s largely muted palette is punctuated by bright and vivid neon signs and holographic adverts and the A8 does justice to them both, masterfully combining subtlety and vibrancy, in a single image when required.” - What HiFi? 5 Stars

High powered processor in this 4K OLED TV creates a beautiful OLED picture in total harmony with sound with a stunning one slate design.

Processor that brings the best out of OLED’s beauty

Powerful processor used to drive our 8K TVs precisely analyses image data to bring out the intense contrast of OLED with pure blacks, peak brightness and truly realistic pictures

Sound and picture in harmony

By having the screen act as the speaker, sound and picture work perfectly together with sound coming from the right place on the screen for a more cinematic experience

Boosting Colour and Contrast for extra depth and realism

See Real World Colours, discover the detail in deep shadow and bright highlights. With Pixel Contrast enhanced within bright areas so that you can enjoy scenes full of lifelike shades and hues, more depth, fine texture and pure black contrst that only OLED can deliver.

Making fast-moving scenes bright and clear

Beautiful colours from any angle

Watching TV from the sides is now as satisfying as from the centre. Our self-illuminating OLED panel keeps colours consistent and true, wherever you’re watching.

Sound from the screen, incredibly immersive

Sound flows around you with Dolby Atmos

Be surrounded by sound as if you are right there in the scene. With Dolby Atmos, sound comes from above as well as from the sides so you can hear objects moving overhead with more realism for a truly multi-dimensional experience.

Enjoy multidimensional sound with S-Force Front Surround

Sound tailored to your environment

Sound experience can 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 4K Ultra HD TV detects objects and reproduces sound that’s enhanced and optimised to your room.

Enjoy studio quality with Netflix Calibrated Mode

This mode was specially developed to enjoy Netflix originals and reproduce the same picture quality on a TV as on a studio evaluation master. With Netflix Calibrated Mode, the creator's vision and intent is faithfully preserved.
