is different from other home appliances. In recent years, large-screen TVs have limited highlights in terms of "intelligence". In addition to the high-definition resolution adapted with the upgrade of various carriers, the smooth OS based on Android, motion compensation MEMC, smart voice assistant and other functions are no longer new. Therefore, I did not have high expectations for what new functions and experiences the latest TV can bring, until I met the famous "black technology spokesperson" Sony .
This time, the new A80EK OLED TV recently launched by SONY once again "opened my eyes". I couldn't help but use N animations and screen shots that are actually difficult to take to share with you the excellence of this TV.
(The quality of the animation image has been compressed and the picture effect is serious, and the image effect is for reference only)
I have always had a certain preference for SONY TVs, because I am a PS4 user. If I want to get a better gaming experience, adapt to HDR, and perfectly adapted to PS4 and PS5, Sony TVs are always the best choice. With the attributes of OLED self-luminous screens, the large scene picture is more delicate than LCD, and the effect is more shocking.
(The image quality has been compressed and the image quality is seriously lost, and the image effect is for reference only)
When playing racing games, the smooth and unshaded picture can present the best dynamic effect. This is because the HDMI2.1 interface supports automatic low latency mode. When a compatible gaming device is detected, the system will automatically turn on the game mode to reduce latency and improve screen fluency.
(the image quality has been compressed and the picture effect is serious, and the image effect is for reference only)
In the past, dark scenes + motion pictures have always been the weakness of the TV presentation effect. Compared with other TVs, driven by the XR chip, SONY uses XR OLED dynamic and smooth technology to detect and dynamically cross-analyze key visual elements in the continuous picture, insert additional created pictures to eliminate dynamic blur and further improve the smoothness of the picture. It can be seen that in action movies dominated by black fields, there is no lag in the switching of slow motion + fast mirror in one go. When looking at such a close-up, SONY can present a clearer and smoother picture, allowing the audience to experience higher picture quality.
(The image quality loss is severe after compression, the image effect is for reference only)
When watching sports scenes with more dynamic pictures, XR OLED dynamic smooth technology can accurately control moving images, minimize image blur, and make the image still real in high-speed scenes and have smaller brightness loss.
The accurate restoration of colors is still reflected in the intense action scenes. In the slow motion of the road battle in Transformers 4, the armor on Optimus Prime and Bumblebee can be seen to see the light and darkness of the different levels of light angles, which is also a manifestation of the brighter and clearer color of the self-luminous screen of OLED TVs. First, let’s talk about the highlights of A80EK: XR cognitive chip brings better picture quality:
In the past, we knew that the chips equipped with Sony TVs were very powerful. This time, the XR cognitive chip has further "evolved". According to the human eye viewing habits, the overall picture will be optimized and the position of the "focus" in the picture is detected. Unlike the traditional artificial intelligence , which simply adjusts color, contrast and details, the new chip can cross-analyze a series of elements like our brains, so that the picture is adjusted to the best state, the picture is rich and bright, and the characters are vivid.
From the real scene of watching the variety show's annual comedy competition, the outline of the main character is more prominent, and the actresses wearing cheongsams will look more three-dimensional and have a more curvy figure.
After the new upgrade algorithm, the XR cognitive chip has more delicate processing of the picture, further improving the color performance of the picture, and bringing richer colors by adjusting the brightness and saturation.
. I believe that all users who love SONY TV will praise the colors of SONY TV. This A80EK XR Terry Color Pro is based on the XR cognitive chip to detect the saturation, tone and brightness of colors, and then automatically adjust it, widening the color gamut with the smallest difference to restore rich colors in the real world.
also has more delicate control over the depth of field, highlighting the detailed details of the picture. In the picture, the little black moles at the corners of the actress's eyes, the reflections in the eyeballs, and the thin but not easy to see eyelashes are counted.
In the opening of this section of 07 vs. Royal Casino , there are extremely complex colors and lines mixed together, but there is no confusing color block at all. The details seem to be magnified by a microscope, and the texture of each detail appears extremely clear.
So, whenever I encounter Sony, I can't wait to re-watch high-definition original disk image quality documentaries, especially the HDR10-supported resources that look more like a visual enjoyment.
Many wonderful lenses in seven worlds and one earth. After processing the XR cognitive chip, we no longer have to worry about how much brightness and contrast should be used. The TV itself will process the image quality to make the eyes " look more comfortable ".
So I think that a good " black technology " is to meet people's usage habits, just like the XR chip analyzes the focus of people watching TV, and AI environment sensing adjustment Pro adjusts the sound and picture functions according to the environment and viewer position, so that users can truly worry-free, which is the greatest success.
For example, the XR chip also has practical 4K line technology, which can improve the 2K signal to a quality close to the real 4K, enhance texture and details while reducing noise, making the image quality details more realistic and delicate. This is most suitable for viewing the old Hong Kong films that repair the image quality version.
In "Legend of the God of War", we can accurately restore the picture through A80EK, see the nostalgic colors, relive the peak appearance of the goddesses, and appreciate the tears in the eyes of Maggie Cheung that year, which gradually develops the acting skills of the subsequent level. More shocking sound effects:
Everyone knows that OLED has better picture quality, higher contrast, and dark scenes dive deeper into it. In addition, this OLED TV also has an innovative sound field driver, allowing the screen to become a flagship audio, so that users can hear different sounds from different locations in the picture. When you see big scenes such as explosions, more three-dimensional and realistic sounds will bring different shocks.
(the image quality has been compressed and the image quality is seriously lost, and the image effect is for reference only)
As a high-end OLED TV, the A80EK also supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, so it is most suitable to watch the original Blu-ray disc with more large scenes. Movies like Transformers that do not watch the plot and watch lively are most suitable for re-brushing. The higher-spec coded sound quality can allow users to feel a more realistic sound field.
Through the test of different fighting scenes, feeling bombs, giants landing, motorcycle chase and other scenes, the sound of this A80EK is restored very realistically, and the whistling sound of the motorcycle when it is flying through can make the audience's adrenaline soar.
What if the user says I don’t have so many resources for the HD original disk? Don't worry, the XR cognitive chip that comes with this TV also has XR surround sound technology, which is especially suitable for watching songs, variety shows or folk art programs. The stereo channel in the original live TV broadcast will be simulated by the chip to an analog surround sound channel of 5.1.2, bringing users a more three-dimensional immersive auditory experience.
Seeing this, you may say that these are all clichés and are the advantages of Sony TVs that we all know for a long time. They have good picture quality, smooth system operation, and colorful and clear colors.So the point is, in the appearance of this A80EK OLED, the " big change " that we can see at a glance is the camera above the TV. new BRAVIA camera with AI environment sensing and adjustment Pro function:
The many highlights brought by the A80EK that I want to talk to you today are basically brought by this BRAVIA camera. We can see from the back of the TV. In terms of installation method, this camera supports magnetic adsorption and quick disassembly, and it is enough to correspond to the location of the card slot.
Since the camera module is thin, it is used to invert "L" to "L" to the upper edge of the TV, which is both stable and does not affect the overall effect on the front.
So, what new experience can this camera bring us? First, let’s take a look at the privacy issues that some users may be worried about. In this regard, a big brand like Sony will definitely explain the terms of protecting user privacy, ensuring that the sensor function of the camera is only used when the TV is turned on, and no data will be collected after shutting down, so that users can use it with confidence.
If the user occasionally uses the camera, but sometimes wants to close it, and thinks it is still too troublesome to remove the entire module, then you can directly tilt the on the top cover of the camera horizontally to close/open the camera.
So, what is the purpose of adding this external camera? What functions can we achieve with this camera? By looking at the screen shot above, we can get the answer. One of the important functions is: automatically optimizes images and sounds.
Maybe you will feel a little confused when you see this function. What is the basis for automatically optimizing images and sounds? How will it be adjusted? What will happen after adjustment? Let’s look at the screen camera above to know that within the fan-shaped detection range in front of the camera, once the human body is detected, the camera will intelligently adjust the brightness, enhance the voice and balance the sound according to the monitored human body position.
(The image quality has been compressed and the image effect is serious, and the image effect is for reference only)
With curiosity, I specially opened the menu for automatic adjustment of images and sounds. When I was actually watching TV, I deliberately moved left and right. As a result, after seeing the camera detecting that the body of the human body moves to the right, the sound balance will be adjusted immediately to the right. (Note to see the bottom progress bar in the picture above).
In this way, I roughly understand the basis for automatically adjusting images and sounds by automatically detecting changes in the human body's position. When the human body is close to the TV, the brightness will automatically decrease, the human body is left to the right, and the sound will automatically follow the human body for balance adjustment. So, what if another person appears in front of the TV picture when a person is watching TV?
(The image quality has been compressed and the image quality is seriously lost, the image effect is for reference only)
From the animation above, we can see that when the second audience enters the front of the picture from the left, the camera senses a closer distance to the human body, and then immediately adjusts the brightness of the TV, but the sound balance does not immediately adjust to the left, ensuring that the experience of the audience who were watching the TV is not affected.
When the second person who appeared was also close to the original audience, the brightness returned to the state of " high ", and the sound balance continued to remain unchanged. too close reminder: With a camera that can detect the position of the human body, this Sony TV can realize several other interesting and practical functions in addition to automatically adjusting images and sounds. The first point is the very practical " too close reminder ".
Many parents are worried that their children will watch TV too close. At this time, as long as we turn on the reminder of too close, the TV will prompt immediately " to continue watching, please backward " according to the distance between the human body and the human body, and if you don't turn off this function, you can't continue to watch the screen as long as the human body is close to the TV. In addition, you must enter a unique PIN code to ensure that the child does not enter the menu and turn off this function. You can make video calls with WeChat applet:
Since the TV is newly equipped with a camera, it should not be strange to be able to make video calls, but the unique thing about this TV is that you don’t need to download a special APP, just enter the WeChat applet.
First, after scanning the code to bind the TV, you can use " Sony TV " to call the contact person. Of course, after binding, you can also directly call Xiaowei in voice and say "Xiaowei Xiaowei, I want to make a video call to XX", which is very convenient. The operation steps of
on the mobile phone are also very simple. Follow the process and click Next to complete it.
It feels very special to see that the 65-inch large picture is filled with WeChat avatars.
The actual video call screen depends on the pixels of the front camera of the phone. Generally speaking, the clarity is still OK. As for the sound quality, it is completely fine to reach the level of WeChat video call. AI fitness, magic camera:
Also based on the camera's detection and imaging functions, it can realize AI recognition of fitness movements.
I looked at the number of participants in each group of movements, which was much more than I thought. It seems that national fitness is still very popular now. With the AI recognition function, it is equivalent to turning a TV into a private fitness coach. The camera will monitor your movements in real time, analyze bones through AI, count real-time data, and provide voice feedback. Of course, this is more suitable for scenes placed in the living room.
You can also directly enter the built-in APP and use the camera as a selfie magic camera. The TV transforms into a selfie artifact through applications. The difference is that the picture on the scene is as large as 65 inches. In addition to skin beauty, beauty, filters and other functions similar to mobile phone photography, the camera menu also has human-computer interaction functions such as gesture recognition, expression effects, voice control, etc., which improves the fun of the camera, especially children will have fun.
And there is another improvement that must be mentioned. It can be said that Sony is really listening to consumers:
This year, it has brought a remote control that is easier to operate and less likely to be "lost":
First of all, it is a remote control that has been widely criticized for " not easy to use " and " blind operation is easy to press " this time, and the shape has finally been updated. The aluminum material brings a more comfortable and cool feel, the operating interface is more reasonable, and the luminous function allows the remote control to be blindly operated at night, and it is easier to clean.
Not only that, A80EK has also upgraded the function of finding a remote control. Just say to the TV: Xiaowei Xiaowei, look for a remote control. The remote control will emit light and sound, allowing users to find the remote control immediately.
Finally, let’s talk about the appearance of this machine. The packaging is still a large carton + the wooden frame on the periphery, which is protected in place.
The most eye-catching appearance is in addition to the camera in the middle, there is also this particularly clever wedge-shaped base bracket. If you don’t look carefully, you can hardly feel the existence of the base. The benefit of maximizing the base is also to minimize visual interference to the user as much as possible.
Although the size is small, the base is also equipped with anti-slip silicone strips to ensure the stable placement of the base.
The entire TV adopts a minimalist full-screen design and adopts the One Slate design language. When you watch it from the front, you cannot feel the presence of the base, which enhances the immersion of watching the TV. It is worth mentioning that the stand of this TV can also be placed in a variety of ways. If you want to connect external devices such as the sound wall, you can use the raised machine mode. However, I personally feel that the sound effect of this OLED is good enough, so it looks better in the standard placement mode.
The thickness of the screen remains the original ultra-thin level, only slightly more than the thickness of the 1 yuan coin, and the all-metal borders feel cool and full of texture.
After coming to the back, will you have the same doubts as me, that is, except for the interface on the left that looks like it is connected to the power cord, where are the other interfaces?
Answer After this back panel, if you don’t look carefully at this gap, you will not find that this is a cover that can be quickly removed.
This A80EK is equipped with 2 HDMI2.0 interfaces, 2 HDMI2.1 interfaces, 1 USB3.0 interface , analog, fiber and digital, wired antenna interfaces, etc.
In addition to the rich interfaces, we will connect all the wires to be connected and cover the back panel. The back will return to its original simplicity. It is worthy of being a great method. While the appearance design is online, it has been improved.
Finally, for more than a week, I have been using TV continuously. In addition to high-definition documentaries, there are also various Blu-ray original disks and playing games with PS4.
SONY's own "HDR automatic mapping function " is very suitable for playing games with PS4. The color, brightness and details of the picture will be more delicate and detailed, and the dynamic scene will be richer.
Not only to watch high-definition videos, but when watching TV, variety shows or live sports programs, the shock and high restoration brought by the OLED picture are shocking. No matter how SONY does it, as a user, the XR cognitive chip is designed for lazy people. After turning on the automatic adjustment of images and sound function, all you need to do is to enjoy it with peace of mind.
Gorgeous colors, realistic pictures, especially the small scenes under the macro picture, are the reasons why this OLED picture deserves to be "impeccable". Believe me, as long as you have experienced it, you will fall in love with the feeling of using this TV to make a documentary.
On hardware, the A80EK can withstand all kinds of harsh picture tests, maintain excellent pictures and have shocking sound effects, and also brings an innovative BRAVIA camera, realizes the function of automatically adjusting the picture and sound, upgrades a better remote control, and enriches video phones, AI fitness, and gesture operations that can be achieved after upgrading in the future. What can a smart TV evolve into? SONY is revealing the answer to us step by step.
This SONY A80EK OLED not only ensures both sound and picture, but also brings practical functions that are indeed "evolved" and are smarter and better, thus elevating the user experience to a new level.
I think such a useful TV is especially suitable for lazy people who don’t like to mess around and don’t like to customize the brightness contrast of the picture. Just leave it to this SONY TV for self-processing.
A summary with a little personal subjective love is: this TV further consolidates the conclusion of "SONY first" among TV brands in my mind. Finally, thank you for watching. Welcome to collect comments and likes. I am Grape. See you next time~~
