AS YOU WISH, SIR!

TVs today, need to reproduce picture and sound in a movie, exactly the way the director created them

- VISHNU ANAND

When creative geniuses makes a masterpiec­e movie or a documentar­y, they pay attention to detail, from the roaring sound of the volcano, to the colour combo of brown and red of the lava... to the sound of the lava, perfectly mastered to make you imagine it’s flowing into your own living room. These may impress on the big screen but a lot of the detail get lost when seen on a television set, which today is the final frontier, to broadcast cinematic content. But small screen viewers have become more demanding and TV manufactur­ers are having to take picture and sound fidelity seriously. Just claiming 4K resolution is not enough.

The recently launched Sony Bravia A9F OLED TV addresses this challenge with technology. The TV features Sony’s X1 Ultimate 4K HDR processor which detects each tiny element in an image, analyses it in real- time to provide detail and accurate colour.

On the sound front, the A9F supplement­s the convention­al sound system with an additional actuator right behind the middle of the screen. In total, the TV pumps out audio from three actuators and two sub- woofers, to create an immersive viewing experience. They call it the Acoustic

Surface Audio+ technology.

If your viewing choice includes that rare combo of great audio visual content, that Oscar- quality movie, the roar of the lion as it seems to jump out of the screen, will come straight from the jaws and not some obscure corner of your TV, then this is it!

The A9F offers the TV version of Android 8.0 Oreo OS, with hands- free voice search. You can also get into Netflix with a single button. The 55- inch Sony Bravia A9F is priced at ` 3,99,990 while the 65- inch variant comes at ` 5,59,990, and they are early premium products for the upcoming festive season
