What are the key picture features of the Sony XBR-48A9S?
This 48" Class A9S is a 4K HDR OLED (3840 x 2160) driven by the Picture Processor X1 Ultimate, the same processor used in Sony's 8K TVs. It also features TRILUMINOS Display and Pixel Contrast Booster to enhance color and contrast while maintaining OLED's pure blacks.
What HDR formats does the XBR-48A9S support?
The A9S supports HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), and Dolby Vision, so you can enjoy HDR content from services like Netflix and Amazon Video or from a compatible device connected via HDMI. It also supports IMAX Enhanced and Netflix Calibrated Mode presets.
How does the audio work on the Sony A9S?
The A9S uses Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio technology, where actuators behind the screen make the panel itself act as the speaker, so sound comes directly from the right place on screen. This aligns picture and sound for a more cinematic experience.
Does the XBR-48A9S have smart TV and streaming features?
Yes, it runs on Android TV with built-in Google Assistant, giving access to major streaming services and apps through Google Play. It also works with Amazon Alexa devices and supports Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit.
What connectivity options does the A9S offer?
The A9S includes four HDMI inputs (HDMI 2.0, one with eARC depending on region), three USB ports, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. It also supports Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast for wireless streaming and screen mirroring.
Is the Sony XBR-48A9S good for gaming?
The A9S includes a dedicated Game Mode for more responsive gaming and a smoother PlayStation experience. Note that its HDMI 2.0 ports limit 4K to 60Hz, though 120Hz playback is available at 1080p and lower resolutions.
What screen size and refresh rate does the XBR-48A9S have?
It's a 48" class OLED (approximately 47.5" viewable) with a native 120 Hz panel and X-Motion Clarity to reduce blur in fast motion. Note that 4K input signals over HDMI 2.0 are supported up to 60Hz.
Why is the A9S part of Sony's MASTER Series?
Sony MASTER Series TVs are meticulously engineered with the goal of faithfully reproducing the creator's true intent, delivering reference-grade picture quality. The A9S brings that quality to a more compact 48" size with a super-thin bezel and minimalist one-slate design.
How much does the Sony 48" Class A9S 4K HDR OLED cost?
MSRP is listed as $1,499.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
