Sony Electronics Inc. has announced its 2023 BRAVIA XR TV lineup with Cognitive Processor XR. The new BRAVIA XR lineup has four new models that include the X95L Mini LED, X90L Full Array LED and the A80L OLED.
All 2023 BRAVIA XR TVs are equipped with the updated Cognitive Processor XR, featuring the all-new XR Clear Image on selected models, which improves noise reduction and clarity in motion, reducing blur and creating scenes bursting with action. The Cognitive Processor XR enables better backlight control for increased local dimming zones, brightness, and decreased blooming.
“We are excited to bring a new lineup that continues to bring Sony’s best spatial entertainment and gaming experiences with picture and sound. Sony is proud to offer a full suite of home entertainment options for all of our consumers.”
-Kazutoyo Araki, Managing Director of Sony Malaysia
