Frequently Asked Questions
**************************
What is the difference between 1080p and 4K?
4K Ultra HD TVs deliver more than 4 times the resolution of 1080P
HDTVs. On a 1080p HDTV, there are over 2 million pixels that make
up the image while on a 4K Ultra HD TV, there are over 8 million
pixels. The resolution of an HDTV is 1,920 X 1,080 (horizontal X
vertical) while the resolution of a 4K Ultra HD TV is 3,840 X
2,160 (horizontal X Vertical). Since there are 4 times more
pixels, 4K Ultra HD TVs can more easily reproduce the smallest
details. Due to this increased resolution, you can now sit closer
to a larger TV screen and enjoy a clearer picture.
Will my regular cable programming, Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, and
streaming entertainment appear different on my 4K Ultra HD TV?
Yes. The Sony 4K Ultra HD TVs enhance the picture quality of
everything you watch with Sony’s exclusive upscaling technology2.
The Sony 4K X-Reality PRO Picture engine analyzes and refines
images from all sources. Your TV shows, movies, sports, and
streaming entertainment will look better2. And with more than
7,000 Blu-ray discs on the market, there is plenty of movie
content to enjoy at home, now upscaled to near 4K.
How close to the TV must I sit to appreciate 4K?
The short answer is that between 5 and 6 ft. is the ideal viewing
distance for a 55” or 65” Sony 4K Ultra HD TV.
However, on a 55“, you can now sit as close as 3.6 ft and enjoy
a visibly smoother and more detailed picture (e.g you won’t see
the individual pixels). On a 65“ TV, you can sit as close as 4.2
ft. to appreciate 4K.
Since the pixels on a 4K Ultra HD TV are four times smaller than
on an HDTV, it becomes harder to see them. In fact, you can sit
closer to a 65” Sony 4K Ultra HDTV than you can to a 35” HDTV.
When you sit closer to the screen, you feel like you are immersed
in the action. You get the same visual impact as you would
sitting in the best seat at a movie theater.
What can I currently watch in true 4K? In near-4K?
For your immediate enjoyment of your Sony 4K Ultra HD TV, Sony's
unrivaled 4K X-Reality PRO picture processor ensures that all of
your existing TV programs, sports and movies are upscaled to
super clear 4K quality2.
Starting in May, 2013, customers can purchase a select number of
Sony Pictures Blu-ray titles optimized for 4K Ultra HDTVs. These
HD titles were created from the highest quality 4K source
materials with expanded color for a more vibrant and dynamic
picture. They play on all Blu-ray players and PlayStation 3's.
They are the ideal Blu-ray Disc solution for new 4K Ultra HD TV
owners and great for Blu-ray collectors as they also display
excellent picture quality on standard HDTVs. These titles
include: Angels and Demons, The Other Guys, Taxi Driver, The
Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Ghostbusters, Glory, Battle: Los
Angeles, Karate Kid (2010) and more are scheduled to release
later in 2013.
For the highest resolution experience possible, customers who
own a Sony 4K Ultra HD TV can access feature films, TV shows and
videos in 4K resolution1 from Sony's 4K Ultra HD Media Player
(sold separately) and Video Unlimited 4K service (fees apply).
The media player comes loaded with a variety of films and other
videos to start enjoying 4K right away.
When will more 4K content be available?
Native 4K content is quickly being adopted by Hollywoods‘ leading
filmmakers. In addition, many studios are investing in the 4K
restoration of films in their libraries. Films originally
with 35MM film can be re-mastered in native 4K resolution. In
addition, broadcasters and cable companies are investing in 4K
technologies to be able to deliver more 4K content expeirences to
consumers at home.
What device options do I have to enjoy 4K? Do I need a 4K Blu-ray
Disc player and 4K receiver to enjoy my 4K Ultra HD TV?
You can start enjoying your 4K Ultra HD TV with your current Home
theatre components. No new devices are needed. You do not need a
4K upscaling Blu-ray player or receiver to use with your Sony 4K
Ultra HD TV.
Your current Blu-ray Disc player, cable signal or even your
personal photos and videos make for ideal content to view on your
Sony 4K Ultra HD TV. You are already creating 4K content when you
take pictures on an 8 MP camera, and now you can finally enjoy
the full detail of your photos on the big screen.
You can also enjoy feature films in true 4K resolution with the
Sony 4K Ultra HD Media Player. The Video Unlimited 4K service
will offer ever-expanding options for a library of 4K movies and
TV show titles12.
