The 4K Experience
Moviegoers have long known that a bigger screen makes for a more thrilling experience. But in a home theater, increasing screen size quickly reveals the imperfections of High Definition (1920 x 1080) resolution.
With stunning 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160 or greater), detail is strikingly sharper, even on screen sizes up to 200 inches. The 4K difference is something you can literally feel, giving you a more lifelike, compelling, engaging movie experience.

The Technology of 4K
The greater resolution offered by 4K enables more detailed, more realistic, more engaging images. With greater than four times the resolution of Full HD, the gaps between pixels (called the screen door effect) and visible pixels (called jaggies) are dramatically reduced. The result is
the most immersive, hyper-real, breathtaking
experience possible.

The History of 4K
Sony technology has long played a starring role in the development of the digital cinematic experience. We kick-started the 4K revolution in 2001 when we introduced the very first commercial 4K digital projectors. Then, in 2011, we delivered the industry’s first 4K digital cinema projection system to be declared compliant with the DCI Specification. Today, Sony 4K innovation can be enjoyed
in the comfort of your home with Sony 4K Ultra HD TVs and 4K projectors.
