Sony XBR48A9S 48 Inch 4K Smart TV Price in United States

 

  • Enjoy the beauty of Sony quality OLED in a compact size. With deep blacks, vivid colors, and enhanced contrast, and sound in harmony with the picture, you’ll be completely immersed in the action. Further details of this product are coming soon so watch this space.

Features

  • Reproduces a wider, more precise range of colors
    By widening the color spectrum, TRILUMINOS powered by our X1 processors reproduces more colors than conventional television. It analyzes and processes data in every image to make colors even more natural and precise so pictures are closer than ever to real life
  • Supreme resolution, whatever you’re watching
    Any kind of content can be upconverted to lifelike 4K resolution with Sony’s unique features. Our X1™ Ultimate, twice as fast as the X1™ Extreme, precisely analyzes and processes data to enrich 4K pictures with real-world detail and texture. Even images filmed in 2K and Full HD are upscaled close to 4K by 4K X-Reality™ PRO using a unique 4K database. Resolution of each subject is then optimized by Object-based Super Resolution to reproduce virtually real-world textures
  • Boosting color and contrast for extra depth and realism
    See real-world colors, discover the detail in deep shadow and bright highlights. With Pixel Contrast Booster, color and contrast are enhanced in bright areas so you can enjoy scenes full of lifelike shades and hues, more depth, fine texture, and the pure black contrast that only OLED can deliver
  • Beautiful colors from any angle
    Watching TV from the sides is now as satisfying as from the center. Our self-illuminating OLED panel keeps colors consistent and true, wherever you’re watching
  • Super Bit Mapping HDR
    There are thousands of tones, shades, and gradations of light in a sunset. Super Bit Mapping HDR reveals them. It creates smooth, natural 4K TV picture quality as you watch, without the “banding” that can occur on other TVs
  • Making fast-moving scenes bright and clear
    With pictures created by millions of individually controlled pixels, everything is sharp and clear on OLED. And with our X-Motion Clarity™ technology, even fast-action stays smooth and clear. Moving images are precisely controlled to minimize blur so that pictures remain true with less loss in brightness during high-speed scenes
  • Dual database processing
    One database is used to clean the picture, reducing on-screen noise. The other is used to upscale the resolution, improving clarity. These two powerful image improvement databases work together, dynamically improving pixels in real-time. Each database has tens of thousands of references, amassed from our experience creating content for TV and movies over the years
  • Sound from the screen, incredibly immersive
    Sound on conventional TVs with a speaker located below the screen is often out of sync with the picture. With our Acoustic Surface Audio, the screen is the speaker. An innovative actuator behind the screen vibrates discreetly to create a sound so what you hear comes from the place in the scene where the action is happening—dialog from characters, engine noise from a car
  • Enjoy multidimensional sound with S-Force Front Surround
    Hear sound as you would from a separate multi surround speaker. By upconverting inputs, S-Force Front Surround virtually reproduces a multi-surround speaker system within your TV so you can enjoy all the thrills of more immersive sound
  • Clearly hear voices
    With Voice Zoom, you can hear human speech clearly without having to turn up the volume—ideal for news bulletins and documentaries
  • Supreme pictures and sound, whatever the environment
    Sit back and enjoy the best possible viewing experience. Sony’s unique ambient optimization technology automatically adjusts pictures and sound to your environment
  • Power your soundtracks
    With a subwoofer integrated into the rear of the TV, you’ll hear a more dynamic, bass-heavy sound—ideal for action movies and music
  • Narrow metal bezel
    Keeps you focused on the picture, not the television
  • Cable clutter minimized
    Cable holders keep wires neatly hidden so your television stays free of clutter and looks good from the front, the sides, and the back
  • Aluminum Central Stand
    Beautifully designed to match your living room
  • Say what you want to watch
    Find your favorite content faster than ever using the power of your voice. With Voice Search, there’s no more complicated navigation or tiresome typing—you just have to ask
  • Over 5,000 apps, more than any other smart TV
    Sony’s Android Smart TV has an unbeatable number of apps. Choose the ones that make your life more fun and entertaining
  • No more waiting
    Apps start fast and there’s no more waiting when you switch between apps—Netflix starts 3x faster than before
  • Our Android TVs are recommended by Netflix
    Netflix has created an easy way for you to identify TVs with better performance, easier app access and new features that make for a better smart TV. Netflix-recommended TVs help you enjoy popular shows and movies with a dedicated button and voice control
  • Control your TV and smart devices with your voice
    You can ask your TV with Google Assistant to connect and communicate with your smart devices, including security cameras and appliances. It’s truly effortless and offers the ultimate experience
  • Connect with your Alexa
    Connect your Alexa-enabled devices for seamless hands-free control of a Sony TV. With Alexa, you can power up your TV, change channels, control volume and more
  • Works with Google Home
    Connect Google Home for seamless hands-free control of your Sony TV. With Google Home, you can find and cast your favorite videos to your Sony TV, without lifting a finger
  • Send to a bigger, better screen with Chromecast
    Chromecast lets you cast your favorite videos, games, and apps from your mobile device, in full quality, to your TV. Just one tap of the Cast button on your Android or iOS screen is all you need to supersize the things you love. Cast your content, then continue browsing on your phone or tablet
  • Works with Apple AirPlay / Apple HomeKit
    With Apple AirPlay, you can stream video and audio to your television right from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Watch movies and shows from the Apple TV app, your favorite apps, or even Safari. Share your photos with everyone in the room
  • Beautifully designed
    Our premium design remote in brushed aluminum with a hairline finish feels good in the hand and harmonizes with your living room. Control your TV with Bluetooth connectivity even if there are objects in the way, and use a variety of simple one-push buttons to easily manage key functions
  • Google Play™: a world of content and apps
    Discover movies and TV shows, games, and much more from Google Play™. Enjoy a huge and ever-growing choice of apps on your TV in a brand new way
  • Easy control with smart remote
    Connect set-top boxes and other devices via HDMI to your TV and control them all using one smart commander. A slimmer, more rounded design with a built-in voice control microphone and enhanced button layout makes it really easy to use, too
  • Clear Phase for smooth, balanced frequencies
    BRAVIA® uses a powerful computer model to analyze and compensate for inaccuracies in speaker response. It does this by “sampling” the speaker frequency with higher precision. This information is fed back to cancel out any peaks or dips in the speaker’s natural response — resulting in pure, natural audio with smooth, even reproduction of all frequencies
  • 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
  • Bluetooth connectivity
    Connect BLUETOOTH® compatible devices to your TV for easy wireless entertainment. Pair your Bluetooth headphones or earphones with BRAVIA and enjoy TV shows and music in your favorite place—without any disturbances or interruptions
  • IMAX Enhanced
    This Sony 4K Smart TV is an IMAX Enhanced product, ready to meet high-quality color, contrast, clarity, and sound. Take comfort in knowing you’ll be enjoying a fully immersive at-home entertainment experience on this TV that takes full advantage of IMAX Enhanced content
  • Preserving the passion of the creators
    To address color variations from the production process, this TV is ready to use Portrait Displays’ high-performance Calman auto-calibration software. This allows an unprecedented level of calibration, and the ability to fine-tune adjustments simply not possible through conventional picture settings. It delivers high-fidelity color reproduction that’s true to the original TV signal, and can even adapt to the subtlest changes in color that may occur over time. This TV is Calman Ready, allowing customers to benefit from software used by visual creators in post-production quality-control workflows, further demonstrating our commitment to deliver pictures with professional-grade-color-calibrated accuracy in the home
  • Embrace the thrills of the theater
    Enjoy cinematic thrills at home. Dolby Vision™ brings scenes vividly to life for authentic viewing, while Dolby Atmos™ fills the room with immersive surround sound
  • Object-based HDR remaster
    With an Object-based HDR remaster, the color in individual objects on screen is analyzed and the contrast adjusted, unlike most TVs where contrast is only adjusted along one black-to-white contrast curve. Because objects are remastered individually, this TV can reproduce greater depth, textures, and more realistic pictures
