With a subwoofer integrated into the rear of the TV, you’ll hear the more dynamic, bass-heavy sound – ideal for action movies and music.

Sony’s Android TV with the Google Assistant provides a smarter viewing experience.

Just start with pressing the Google Assistant button on your remote to ask it questions, control smart home devices or access many of the apps and services you already use every day. In addition, cast your favorite apps with Chromecast built-in 3 4, or enjoy a huge range of apps from Google Play™, including YouTube™, Netflix, Prime Video, Spotify, and more.3
The supreme resolution, whatever you’re watching
Any kind of content can be upconverted to lifelike 4K resolution with Sony’s unique 4K XReality PRO and Object-Based Super Resolution. Our Picture ProcessorX1™ Ultimate precisely analyses and processes data to enrich pictures with lifelike detail, textures, and clarity in everything you watch. Leveraging intelligent dual database processing,
content looks cleaner with less on-screen noise. Even images filmed in Full HD are upscaled close to 4K resolution by 1,2 1,2 4K X-Reality™ PRO. Every single pixel is nhanced beautifully by Sony’s Picture Processor X1™ Ultimate.
TRILUMINOS Display, bringing you all the world’s colors
By widening the color spectrum, TRILUMINOS  Display, powered by the Picture Processor X1 Ultimate, 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. See exactly what the creator intended with the advanced color, light, and gradation of the TRILUMINOS™ Display.
Bright and clear motion.
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.
Supreme pictures and sound, whatever the environment.
Sit back and enjoy the best possible viewing experience. Sony’s unique Ambient Optimization™ technology automatically adjusts picture and sound to your environment. An embedded light sensor optimizes picture brightness to room conditions, boosting brightness in light rooms and reducing it in dark ones, so you get the perfect view. For uncompromised sound, Acoustic Auto Calibration™ analyzes the environment of the room and reproduces sound that’s enhanced and optimized to your room.
Well-connected to your smart home.
With Google Home compatibility, simply voice-control your TV and ask it to do things like cast and control videos from YouTube with Google Home or change the channel or volume with Amazon Alexa. Apple HomeKit and Airplay 2 support seamlessly integrating your iPhone and Siri devices with your Sony TV for effortless smart home management and content and Amazon Alexa 7 streaming.
See the big picture with HDR, Dolby Visions, IMAX Enhanced, and Netflix Calibrated Mode.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) picture is the way TV was always meant to be watched. Ultra-high resolution and HDR video content combine to bring dazzling detail, color, and contrast to everything you watch while keeping a far wider range of brightness.1 Dolby Vision™ brings scenes to life with striking highlights, deeper darks, and vibrant colors.
The IMAX Enhanced™ program brings the immersive entertainment experience into the home. IMAX Enhanced content is digitally remastered to provide sharper images and more powerful sound—just as the creator 8 9 intended. Netflix Calibrated Mode was specially developed to enjoy Netflix original content and reproduce picture quality as brilliant as the studio evaluation monitor, faithfully reproducing the 10 creator’s intent and vision. Whichever format, Sony TVs deliver picture-perfect reality, creating an immersive and engaging cinematic experience.
Incredibly thin one-slate design.
With our super-slim one-slate design, the screen meets the edge of the TV, blending harmoniously in any room environment. The flush surface with narrow aluminum bezel keeps you focused on the picture, not the television. Cable holders keep wires neatly hidden, so your television stays free of clutter and looks good from any angle. 11
Premium metal stand, ready for soundbars.
Our flexible low profile design provides a distraction-free experience, or the stand can be
adjusted to raise the TV to fit a soundbar seamlessly.
Mount your Sony TV like a work of art
Make the most of your living space. The SU-WL855 ultra-slim wall-mount bracket is designed to hang select Sony BRAVIA™ OLED and LED TVs to flush to the wall, just like any other work of art. Pull out your TV and swivel it left to right to adjust the screen angle for optimal viewing. 12
Experience content as the director envisioned
When pictures are digitally compressed from film to TV, quality is compromised and your experience is not as the director intended in the studio. A wide range of unique features lets you enjoy studio-quality entertainment in your own home, just as the director envisioned.
High-performance calibration for professionals
Our TVs receive high-performance calibration that has never previously been possible using CalMAN™ software. It allows adjustments to be made with finer precision than conventional picture quality settings to meet the strict requirements of creators in the post-production stage. Colors are reproduced with maximum fidelity to the original TV signal, giving exceptional picture control for a TV. CalMAN also features an easy-to-use interface that has been well received, by13 calibration specialists.

Precautions

On BLUETOOTH® communications

  • Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m. The maximum communication distance may vary depending on the presence of obstacles (people, metal objects, walls, etc.) or the electromagnetic environment.
  • Bluetooth communications may not be possible, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions:
    – When there is a person between the unit and the Bluetooth device. This situation may be improved by positioning the Bluetooth device so that it faces the aerial of the unit.
    – When there is an obstacle, such as a metal object or a wall, between the unit and the Bluetooth device.
    – When a Wi-Fi device or microwave oven is in use, or microwaves are emitted near the unit.
    – Compared to use indoors, use outdoors is subjected little to signal reflection from walls, floors, and ceilings, which results in audio dropout occurring more frequently than use indoors.
    – The aerial is built into the unit as indicated by the dotted line in the illustration (Fig. [A]). The sensitivity of the Bluetooth communications can be improved by removing any obstacles between the connected Bluetooth device and the aerial of this unit.
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g/n) devices use the same frequency (2.4 GHz). When using the unit near a Wi-Fi device, electromagnetic interference may occur, resulting in noise, audio dropout, or the inability to connect. If this happens, try performing the following remedies:
    – Establish a connection between the unit and the Bluetooth device when they are at least 10 m away from the Wi-Fi device.
    – Turn off the Wi-Fi device when using the unit within 10 m of the Wi-Fi device.
    – Position the unit and the Bluetooth device as near as possible to each other.
  • Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident:
    – in hospitals, near priority seating in trains, locations where inflammable gas is present, near automatic doors, or near fire alarms.
  • The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.
  • This product emits radio waves when used in wireless mode. When used in wireless mode on an airplane, follow flight crew directions regarding permissible use of products in wireless mode.
  • The unit supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth standard as a means of ensuring security during communication using Bluetooth wireless technology.
    However, depending on the configured settings and other factors, this security may not be sufficient. Be careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology.
  • Sony shall assume no responsibility for any damages or loss resulting from information leaks that occur when using Bluetooth communications.
  • Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be guaranteed.
    – Bluetooth devices connected with the unit must comply with the Bluetooth standard prescribed by Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and must be certified as compliant.
    – Even when a connected device complies with the Bluetooth standard, there may be cases where the characteristics or specifications of the Bluetooth device make it unable to connect, or result in different control methods, display, or operation.
    – When using the unit to perform hands-free talking on the phone, noise may occur depending on the connected device or the communication environment.
  • Depending on the device to be connected, it may require some time to start communications.
If sound skips frequently during playback
  • The situation may be improved by changing the wireless playback quality settings or fixing the wireless playback mode to SBC on the transmitting device. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the transmitting device.
  • When listening to music from a smartphone, the situation may be improved by closing unnecessary apps or restarting the smartphone.
On the use of calling apps for smartphones and computers
  • This unit supports normal incoming calls only. Calling apps for smartphones and computers are not supported.
On charging the unit
  • This unit can be charged using USB only. A computer with a USB port or a USB AC adaptor is required for charging.
  • Be sure to use the supplied USB Type-C cable.
  • When charging, the unit cannot be turned on and the Bluetooth and noise cancelling functions cannot be used.
  • If the unit is not used for a long time, the rechargeable battery may become depleted quickly. The battery will be able to hold a proper charge after it is discharged and recharged several times. When storing the unit for a long time, charge the battery once every six months to prevent over-discharge.
  • If the rechargeable battery becomes depleted extremely quickly, it should be replaced with a new one. Please contact your nearest Sony dealer for a battery replacement.
If the unit does not operate properly
  • Follow the procedure below to reset the unit (Fig. [B]).
    Press the  and NC/AMB buttons simultaneously while the unit is charging. The unit is reset. When the unit is reset, the pairing information in the unit is not deleted.
  • If the problem persists even after the unit is reset, perform the procedure below to initialize the unit.
    Disconnect the USB Type-C cable and turn off the unit. Press and hold the and buttons simultaneously for at least 7 seconds. The indicator (blue) flashes 4 times, the unit is initialized, and the unit is reset to the factory settings. When the unit is initialized, all pairing information is deleted.
  • After the unit is initialized, it may not connect to your iPhone or computer. If this happens, delete the pairing information of the unit from the iPhone or computer, and then pair them again.
On the noise cancelling function
  • The noise cancelling function senses external ambient noise (such as the noise inside a vehicle or the sound of air conditioning inside a room) with built-in microphones, and produces an equal-but-opposite sound that cancels out the ambient noise.
    – The noise cancelling effect may not be pronounced in a very quiet environment, or some noise may be heard.
    – The noise cancelling function works for noise in the low frequency band primarily. Although noise is reduced, it is not cancelled completely.
    – When you use the unit in a train or a car, noise may occur depending on street conditions.
    – Mobile phones may cause interference and noise. Should this occur, locate the unit further away from the mobile phone.
    – Depending on how you wear the unit, the noise cancelling effect may vary or a beeping sound (howling) may occur. If this happens, take off the unit and put it back on again.
    – Do not cover the microphones of the unit with your hands or other objects. Doing so may prevent the noise cancelling function or the Ambient Sound Mode from working properly, or may cause a beeping sound (howling) to occur. If this happens, take your hands or other object off of the microphones of the unit (Fig. [C]).
Notes on wearing the unit
  • Because the headphones achieve a tight seal over the ears, forcibly pressing them against your ears or quickly pulling them off can result in eardrum damage. When wearing the headphones, the speaker diaphragm may produce a click sound. This is not a malfunction.
Other notes
  • Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
  • When you use the unit as wired headphones, use the supplied headphone cable only. Make sure that the headphone cable is firmly inserted.
  • The Bluetooth function may not work with a mobile phone, depending on the signal conditions and the surrounding environment.
  • Do not apply weight or pressure to the unit for long periods, including when it is stored, as it may cause deformation.
  • If you experience discomfort while using the unit, stop using it immediately.
  • The earpads may be damaged or deteriorate with long-term use and storage.
