hi I'm Gavin from the TV group and Sony
Europe and in this video we're gonna
take a first look at the latest addition
to the Brava
OLED lineup to new af8 series
[Music]
the multi-award-winning a one that we
introduced last year remains our
flagship ravioli with the af8 sitting
just below it in the range before we get
on to the most important thing about a
TV which is of course the picture
quality let's have a closer look at the
design of the af8 the IFA follows the
same one slate design concept as the a1
this time though a discrete aluminum
pedestal allows that one slate design
concept to be recreated in an upright
form with no visible speakers you'll get
a really immersive viewing experience
all you see is the image framed by a
beautifully slim aluminium bezel to
achieve that one slate design we've
discarded conventional speakers and used
our exclusive acoustics surface
technology and turned the whole screen
into a speaker specially designed
actuators are actually attached to the
back of the OLED panel which invisibly
vibrate to create sound waves one of the
big advantages of acoustic surface is
that voices and signs are accurately
projected from where they appear on the
screen and that gives the perfect fusion
of sound and picture the actuators take
care of the higher frequency sounds for
low frequency or bass tones there's a
subwoofer hidden in the stand around the
back the stand also has all the usual
connections including 4 HDMI inputs and
3 USB ports it's also got built-in cable
management to keep everything very neat
and tidy for those of you who prefer
their TV on the wall the AFA can be wall
mounted using a standard Vaser
compatible wall bracket as the AFA is an
OLED TV there's no backlight instead
each pixel and there's over 8 million of
them are self illuminating they create
their own light that means you can get
incredible black levels while it's
getting great bright highlights a really
wide viewing angle the panel isn't the
only factor here the picture processor
will make sure we leverage the very best
performance from that panel
we're combining the OLED panel with the
same process we've seen on the flagship
a1 and the z d9 previously the x1
extreme processor it precisely controls
each pixel to ensure better noise
reduction and detail enhancements better
color and contrast upscaling smooth
color gradation and smooth blur free
motion pairing the x1 extreme processor
then with our triluminos display
technology means that we get a vibrant
natural picture quality which will
accurately display the wider range of
colors found in 4k HDR content for that
4k HDR content the af8 will support HDR
10 h LG and dolby vision so you can
enjoy 4k HDR content from a really wide
range of sources
finally with android TV you get
chromecast built-in for easily sending
content from your smartphone or tablet
to the TV voice search allows you to
find content simply by just asking the
TV for it and with access to Google Play
you can find plenty of apps and games to
keep you entertained for Amazon Alexa
owners you can also control your Sony TV
once connected you can just ask Alexa to
turn the TV on switch inputs and all
sorts of various other commands so
that's been a first look at Sony's new
bravia OLED AF 8 series available soon
in 65 inch and 55 inch screen sizes it's
the perfect combination of a great
picture quality and great sound quality
