Overview

The Sony XBR49X800H brings Sony's proven picture processing technology to a 49-inch 4K UHD LED panel. The 4K HDR Processor X1 serves as the engine behind the TV's image quality, handling tone mapping, color accuracy, and contrast enhancement for both native 4K and upscaled content. Sony's 4K X-Reality PRO technology analyzes incoming video signals and intelligently upscales sub-4K content to near-4K clarity, ensuring that HD cable broadcasts and older streaming content still look sharp. Motionflow technology works to reduce motion blur during sports, action movies, and gaming, keeping fast-paced visuals smooth and clear.

On the smart TV side, Android TV provides a mature platform with access to thousands of apps through the Google Play Store, including all major streaming services. Google Assistant is built in for voice search and smart home control via the included voice remote. Chromecast is also built in, allowing easy casting from Android and iOS devices without additional hardware. The audio system supports Dolby Atmos for spatial sound processing that adds depth and dimension to movie and music playback. Connectivity includes HDMI and USB ports along with Wi-Fi for flexible setup options. The bundle comes with a table top stand, voice remote with batteries, power accessories, and a CPS Enhanced Protection Pack for extended coverage.
