FAQs

What is the difference between Sony Full HD and Ultra HD? ›

A High Definition (HD) TV with 1080p resolution is composed of two million pixels (1920 x 1080), while a 4K TV (aka Ultra High Definition) has over eight million pixels (3840 x 2160). Therefore, 4K has around four times more resolution than 1080p and produces a clearer picture.

The Ultra HD screen has a higher resolution than the Full HD screen. The higher resolution offers you a more riveting watching experience, and the crystal-clear color divergence ensures that you are immersed in lifelike images leading to a more captivating experience.

When it comes down to it, UHD refers to the number of pixels in a screen, which results in a specific resolution. In contrast, HDR refers to the screen's ability to maintain a crisp image by automatically adjusting that image by changing the color, contrast, and brightness as needed.

If you are planning on watching 1080p content on your 4K TV, then you may want to use 4K upscaling to help it look much better. However, if you find that specific content looks washed out or unclear after being upscaled, it may be worth turning 4K upscaling off.

Sony's new XR Clear Image technology uses AI to produce immensely improved clarity and sharpness while staying true to the source material. Designed to show subtle textures and details that would be missed without it, this feature truly shines on lower-resolution content that's upscaled to 4K.

Hopefully you can see all the reasons why using HDR mode all the time is really a bad idea. So our recommendation after all this is to only enable HDR mode and run the screen in HDR mode when you're viewing actual HDR content. Don't leave it active all the time, and just enable it when you need it.

If you want to capture something in motion, turn off HDR to prevent dark or washed-out areas. If you want to take a portrait with dark and intense shadows, consider turning off HDR; otherwise, you may capture details within the shadow.

Today's TVs, whether Sony or other brand has a screen half-life of about 90 to 100,000 viewing hours under ideal conditions - this is well over 10 years of viewing at several hours per day before brightness, contrast, and color quality degradation becomes noticeable.

Televisions: 4-6 years

With the rapid changes in the way video is transmitted to your TVs and the ever-increasing resolution jumps (4k-8k-16k!), TVs start to show their age around the 5-year mark. Time to failure is typically 8-11 years or about 50,000 hours of use.

For those who prioritize high-resolution content, particularly for cinematic experiences or gaming, a 4K TV can offer enhanced visual fidelity and immersion. However, individuals with smaller screens or those who primarily consume content from a distance may find that the benefits of 4K resolution are less pronounced.

Does Ultra HD make a difference? ›

Ultra High Definition (UHD) gives you better picture quality on your TV. It has four times more pixels than HD TV, so you'll see more detail when watching sports, movies and TV.

Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) provides incredibly sharp and detailed images, offering four times the resolution of Full HD. The benefits of Ultra HD 4K include improved clarity, enhanced details, and the ability to enjoy content on larger screens or from closer viewing distances.

Does my TV support 4K or HDR? If your TV has a resolution specification of 3,840 x 2,160 or higher, you can enjoy 4K content via HDMI® devices, USB storage, and online services. For specification details, go to the model support page and check your model's Specifications for DISPLAY RESOLUTION.
