Sony Launches High Dynamic Range Video Support on 4K Ultra HD TVs
Sony is bringing High Dynamic Range (HDR) support to more of its 4K Ultra HD televisions. In addition to the X930C and X940C models, Sony is also adding HDR compatibility to the X850C, X900C and X910C models via a network update, available soon. With this update users will be able to experience HDR content available through Amazon Video. HDR reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels, bringing greater contrast to the screen.
Starting this fall and for a limited time, Sony's customers who purchase a compatible Sony 4K Ultra HD TV will receive up to $100 of HDR content including blockbuster movies The Amazing Spider Man 2, Men in Black 3, After Earth, and Fury, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (SPHE) through the Amazon Video app.
In addition to select blockbuster movies from SPHE, Amazon Prime members will be able to access the first season of Amazon Original Series Transparent and Mozart in the Jungle and the pilot episode of the upcoming comedy Red Oaks in HDR on compatible Sony TVs, at no additional charge to their membership, this fall.
Sony HDR compatible televisions include the following 4K Ultra HD models: X850C, X900C, X910C, X930C and X940C models.
