How do you make TV, films or gaming more immersive? One of the major things that make pictures leap off the screen (but draws us in) is contrast. Think about it. When colours are samey, the picture feels really flat – so what you’re looking at doesn’t feel real.
But when there’s a clear difference between lights and darks, it makes you feel like what you’re looking at is much more 3D and lifelike.
So what’s the difference between Sony Full Array and normal LED screens?
Your TV screen is made up of thousands of pixels. The pixels on a standard LED screens are either backlit or edge lit. So, when it’s time for a brighter picture – the whole of the screen gets lit up from behind. Or, one strip of LEDs on the edge of your TV has to try and balance the picture properly. It’s not all that precise.
Sony Full Array LED does things differently. Each pixel is self-illuminating. So, when an area of the screen needs to be really bright, those local pixels light up. When an area needs to be darker, they can shut off entirely. That’s called local dimming.
And that helps me how?
You get stunning bright light, darker blacks and everything in between. So, pictures can be lit up in a really precise way – which means a massive upgrade to what you’re watching, and it feels more real. It also means much better viewing angles than normal TVs with no loss of colour or contrast. So, don’t worry if you’ve gone out to make tea and someone has taken the best seat.
And because backlighting is ditched, it means that Full Array LED TVs can be much thinner. No more deep TV hogging a whole corner of your living room. Instead you’ve got a subtle and sleek thing of beauty. Sony Full Array TVs can also use less energy, since only pixels in use need to be on. This is way more efficient than backlighting.
