Sony has announced pricing and shipment details for the 2023 Bravia XR lineup of mini-LED, LED, and OLED TVs it previewed in March. Seven mini-LED and OLED models are either available to order now or will be available for preorder in the coming weeks with LED-based models coming later in the year.

Key features of the 2023 Bravia XR TVs include Sony’s new Cognitive Processor XR, which is said to reduce noise while improving motion rendering, and XR Clear Image processing for improved motion clarity, which will be available on select models via a firmware update sometime this spring. New LED-backlit models boast an increase in local dimming zones for enhanced backlight control.

Gaming is highlighted in the lineup with the inclusion of Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode to optimize picture quality for PlayStation 5 gamers, a Game Menu that allows users to easily customize settings such as VRR and Motion Blur Reduction, a Black Equalizer to enhance visibility in dark areas, and other features.

All Bravia XR models are designed to work seamlessly with Sony’s latest soundbars and include an Acoustic Center Sync function that synchronizes the TV's audio system with the center channel of a compatible Sony soundbar for a more immersive experience.
