A QD-OED TV that the witness of the best Sony OLED panel collects

The novel technology RGB LED From Sony was not the only thing we could discover recently at the European headquarters of the firm in Weybridge. And it is that the reason for our visit was rather knowing Your new TV line for this 2025which we knew very little or nothing. This year three new Smart TVS arrive that complete the range that the firm presented in 2024: Bravia 8 II, Bravia 5 and Bravia 3. In this article we have wanted to offer you Our first contact about Bravia 8 IIsince we had the occasion to mess with her more carefully and ended up looking like one of the most interesting models, especially for the return of the panels QD-OED From Samsung to the most up -to -date TV line of Sony. Sony Bravia 8 II, Technical Card Sony Bravia 8 II panel 4K UHD, QD-OED, 120 Hz HDR Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG Sizes 55 and 65 inches Processor Cognitive Processor XR Operating system Google TV sound Voice Zoom 3, Acoustic Surface Audio+, Dolby Atmos, Imax Enhanced, DTS: X Main characteristics Triluminos Max, XR contrast Booster 25, XR Clear Image, XR OLED MOTION, ENVIRY OPTIMIZATION PRO 6, GAME MENU 2, PS REMOTE PLAY ANDEco Dashboard 2 price To be confirmed More shine and back to the QD-OED panel to give cane this 2025 When Sony launched its exceptional in 2024 Bravia 9his strategy left us somewhat bewildered. The firm launched a panel with MINILED TECHNOLOGY after an outstanding A95L With QD-OED panel. The change of sight now makes more sense We know that the company intends to focus on the near future on RGB LED technology, its proposal to improve the minned through a backlit matrix capable of reproducing the three primary colors (red, blue and green). New Sony televisions for 2025, with Bravia 8 II to the head However, it seemed rare for Sony to abandon QD-OED technology, even more so knowing the exceptional 2022 and 2023 models that they said to become our favorite OLED models of their respective years. Recently they implied that this was not so, but that the firm has opted for A two -year launch to complete its entire Bravia range. Although by the name we can assume that Bravia 8 II is the successor of the previous Bravia 8 of 2024, the truth is that both Sony’s documentation, and our experience with the TV, made it clear that This model comes to the Sony A95L of 2023both for benefits and for the type of panel. Sony takes chest from its image algorithms with its XR processor and calibrated engineering Brief review: This Sony Bravia 8 II has a state-of-the-art QD-OED panel of Samsung that, according to the documentation provided by Sony already lack of taste it in our most exhaustive analysis, offers A maximum peak brightness level that exceeds the Sony A95L by 25%. Despite being another panel technology, Sony also compares it with Bravia 8, this time with a maximum peak brightness difference that reaches 50%. During our tests at Sony offices We were able to test it in front of Sony A95L and also next to the HX3110 reference monitor. As we could see at that time, the calibration against A95L is very similar (already outstanding in the 2023 model), although we could clearly identify that improvement in the delivery of brightness, highlighting even more that difference in certain scenes. The content we had by hand to try the TV were films in Bluray UHD as’The reborn‘,’Jumanji: next level‘And other tapes. Although it is still from the experience that a reference monitor can give us in terms of image quality, Sony takes chest from its image algorithms and calibrated engineering Offering an image with this Bravia 8 II that, in the absence of spending more time with him, gives us clues of the great work that this house has done to move the experience of that reference monitor to the home. The differences are also palpable against the high -end units of other manufacturers that Sony placed in the room next to the Bravia 8 II, especially in color reproduction through the different ‘standard’, ‘cinema’ and ‘and’ image modes.FilmMaker‘. While we did not have the opportunity to get in the room with televisions from the rest of the manufacturers, Our first impressions with Bravia 8 II give us a very good flavor from Boca in the face of the experience obtained over the last months with the rest of the televisions. Although as we have made clear before, this model is still examined in more detail in our in -depth analysis. From left to right: Sony A95L, Sony HX3110 and Sony Bravia 8 II. The image does not do justice to the real experience, but at this time we perceive a better reproduction of the color that can be seen in the tone of the skin and more shine Here the secret is again its XR processorresponsible for optimizing the contrast in the image, of reproducing the colors so that they feel alive but without reaching the feeling of being ‘artificial’, offering images that eliminate the noise without softening the scenes too much and obtain the maximum possible detail of each frame both in the regions with more shadow and in the brightest. Therefore, the processor, in addition to the calibration, are the main reasons why, although Sony mounts the same Samsung panel, there is a reasonable difference. Both for brightness, as for colorimetry and capacity of its processor, the Sony Bravia 8 II leaves us good feelings Colorimetry ends up highlighting for its way of offering ‘living’ images without being artificial or supersaturated, as we have mentioned. In the test in front of the A95L that improvement is already noticeablealthough in truth, the difference between the A95K and the A95L was more palpable and obvious at first glance. Subsequent brave connections 8 II Another outstanding television feature is its construction, offering an elegant and fine design, with only 34 … Read more

We have convinced ourselves all these years that OLED was the most. Sony Sony with LED RGBs promise to change everything

Although OLED technology has advanced considerably in the Smart TVS industry, with technologies as impressive as the latest generation of panels QD-OED of Samsung or the Primary RGB OLED of LG in its new line of televisions, there are manufacturers that are betting even more for the Miniladsince it offers benefits that, in combination with the innovation that is yet to come, could put in a good squeeze those pure blacks and colors of the OLED. Sony is one of those manufacturers. And it already made it very clear to us in 2024 with its commitment to Minned technology with its Bravia 9being the type of panel chosen for its most premium televisions range after that excellent A95L of 2023. Recently, we have seen that this movement still makes more sense, since they have just presented The new technology in which they will bet in 2026: RGB LED. This is how a minied panel could behave like an oled The company has just revealed that they are working to integrate this new type of technology into their future televisions. His intention is to incorporate An RGB LED matrix to backlit the panels of its televisions (Currently, the LEDs of the retroiluminated matrix are all blue). This, unlike the most leading minied panel panel system, means that, in addition to brightness control through local attenuation zones, it could also be reached control one’s color and luminosity of LEDs of the unit that backs the panel. Conventional LED backlight system by zones. Image: Sony This would translate into a better management and control of the brightness and color of each scene, which in broad strokes could Simulate the behavior of organic and self -emissive LEDs of the OLED, but with the advantage of the greatest brightness of the Minned panels. The system allows Sony to adjust the luminance in line to the gradation of the color itself The RGB retroiluminated panel (Red, Green, Blue) would offer high density backight with the ability to Individually control the three primary colorsas indicated from Sony. The company ensures that the panel allows each RGB color to emit light independently, promising great purity in color and the possibility of reproducing a range of broader and brighter colors. It is not the first time that Sony embarks on this technology. In fact, in 2004 he showed the first LCD TV in the world with Full Array LED RGB backlit. From that moment, the company has been following this system very closely, and now that current technology allows great brightness control through local attenuation zones, it was time to boost this technology again. RGB LED system, eliminating the quantum points layer and offering control of the color and brightness of each LED in the backlit matrix. Image: Sony Sony promises a coverage of the 99% DCI-P3 color space and approximately 90% in the ITU-R BT.2020 standard. Combining independent RGB LED control with the control of the attenuation zones of its televisions, Sony promises Scenes with much more contrast and colorin combination with the already excellent brightness offered by their panels, touching the 4,000 peak nits. Color volume of each technology. Image: Sony The system allows Sony to adjust the luminance in line to the gradation of the color itself. In this way, the company promises reach much more living and bright details. In addition, the system would process the signal at high speed, with rates of up to 96 bits. That LEDs allow us to reproduce primary colors means that The panel would not need aggressive color filters in pixels such as quantum points panels. This causes less light to be absorbed during the process, which allows the panel to work more efficiently. Sony will start producing them this year, but it is not the only Sony is collaborating with Mediatek for the development of chips that will be in charge of controlling each of the individual backlit leds. According to the company, The system will begin to produce in series this yearwith the aim of integrating technology into consumer televisions and screens for content creation in 2026. The company has not been the first to announce the arrival of this technology on its televisions. In fact, signatures like Samsung, Hisense and TCl have already been encouragedwith a view to seeing the first in the market to include this technology during the second half of 2025. For Sony, entering this technology makes a lot of sense in its strategy, as the company went from considering its QD-Osed model as its most premium range to the Bravia 9 with Minned technology and its performance very close to its reference monitor. The company, with its motto ‘Cinema Is Coming Home’, aims to give priority to color reproduction as masterful in recording studios, bringing that experience home. And the combination of its already excellent Minned technology, management of local attenuation zones, and now its backlit matrix with RGB LEDs, allows you to easily facilitate that task.

This game worked at 10 fps in PlayStation 3 and its creator believes that any company that was not Sony would have canceled it

Any game has beta versions that work with a much lower performance than they reach in its final version, but … 10-15 fps? Under that ridiculous frequency it moved ‘The Last Guardian‘In PS3, game that ended up appearing in PS4 after eleven years. Its person in charge was the Team Ico, signer of masterpieces for PlayStation as ‘ICO’ or ‘Shadow of the Colossus’. Do not underestimate the evocative power of those Team Ico games. Possibly their fame and prestige are the ones that led Sony to persecute with the project despite their weak technical results. Shuhei Yoshida, Sony manager for almost 40 years, who worked at the first playstation and was president of Sie Worldwide Studios, He told Taipei Game Show That a company that was not Sony I would have abandoned the game. Yoshida explained that years passed since they announced it, and began receiving questions about the game from Sony. The truth was that they were having problems Derived from the vision of fumito Ueda, responsible for the team, which wanted the protagonist creature of the game, the immense trico rodent, to move realistically. But PS3 could not manage the huge character on the stage and stuck at 10-15 fps. Finally, it was decided to pass the project to PS4 and schedule it from scratch. “A normal developer would possibly have abandoned it,” says Yoshida, but trusted Ueda’s vision and thought of ‘Ico’ and ‘Shadow of the Colossus’ fans, and decided that “whatever happens we have to launch it.” Finally, the game was announced in the E3 of 2015, when everyone already thought that the Ueda project was sentenced to cancellation.

Even Sony, creator of the format, abandons it

No one is aware that the physical format is experiencing a real debacle: more and more player manufacturers have been abandoning the format. panasonic, sony and Oppo They stopped doing it in 2018, Samsung in 2019 and LG in December 2024. But The last one who announced his abandonment has something symbolic: it is Sony, inventor of the Blu-Ray format, who has announced that it is stopping manufacturing several physical formats, after announcing a series of layoffs at its factories. In addition to recordable Blu-Rays, in February it will stop manufacturing MiniDiscs and MiniDV tapes, formats that were already clearly obsolete. The company has confirmed it in a message on your website where it also makes it clear that there will be no models that will succeed these formats, so it is not that it is seeking to evolve what we have already known, as Blu-Ray succeeded DVD. Once stock is exhausted, they will not be restocked in stores. This is a commercially logical decision that will devastate collectors and that destroys the intention of other brands, such as LG, to return to manufacturing players if the winds sounded favorable in the future. With this notice from Sony, the format is effectively adjusted, since We are not talking about a mere manufacturer of record playersbut from one of the most important manufacturers of the discs themselves. Significantly, apart from support the manufacturing of the new formatSony was its main distributor thanks to the expansion of Playstation consoles. Both the PS3, as well as the subsequent 4 and 5, included a Blu-Ray reader, and were decisive in establishing not only the format in the video game industry, but also in the film industry. Also very significantly, it is in recent years, when the format has begun to decline in favor of digital, both Microsoft and Sony have announced versions without a disc reader of their consoles. Playstation 5 Pro has been the first console to be launched without a version with disk readerwhich must be purchased separately.
